GOOD AS A WHOLE.

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 12.-Sufficient
reports have been received from
threshing operations throughout the
state to bear out earlier prospects Of
good paying yield this year. With
| the exception of a slight delay in a
small area caused by rains last
Wednesday and Sunday nights
threshers have not been interrupted
and the work is proceeding remark
ably fast. In the eastern part of the
Red river valley practically all the
threshing is completed, while in the
southern and central district practic.
ally the same condition prevails.
Threshing operation will be
through earlier than usual, and, with
anything like an even break in the
matter of weather, more fall blowing
will be done this year than last year,
or for, several seasons past
The threshing yields are interest
ing, indicating, in many instances, the
results of proper farming methods as
against poorer methods. -"
