First Load Of the New Crop
Of Exceptional Qualify
Graded No.
BY George Weatherhead.

Washburn, N. d., Aug. 23.--That
there will be an average yield Of
wheat all through the eastern sec
ton of Mclean county is generally
conceded by farmers and others who
are thoroughly posted on the crop
situation. There are spots where the
yield will be considerably larger;
then again are found fields where the
yield will be somewhat less. While
the wheat harvest throughout the
country is practically completed. hut
little threshing has heen done.
The first load of wheat brought to
Washburn from the new crop was de-
livered to Agent ,lein of the Wash
burn elevator. This grain came from
the farm of Jacob Mittleider, 10
miles north Of Washburn.' 1t vas OF
exceptional quality and was graded
No. | Hard, weighing go pounds to
the bushel! There were 80 acres OF
grain in that field and it yielded "a
bushels to the acre. Or course, this
was an exception, but all of the grain
through this part of the county this
year is of exceptionally fine quality.
Backed by a farming country that
is composed of some of the finest
farming land in the state, and land
that this year has produced a splen-
did crop. which has been harvested
without any interference on the part
of the elements, the people Of this
section are rather optimistic over the
prospects for this fall. A great land
scape is presented to the traveller as
he passes through the farms north Of
Washburn. The country is fully de-
veloped and the handsome farm
homes and buildings prove what has
been accomplished by a thrifty class
of people, who have always kept their
faith pinned to- Mclean county.
In another week threshing will
have a fair start, and all the elevat-
Ors along the 500 Line will be storing.
away the wheat. An active fall trade
is predicted here this year, and the
are making preparations
for it.

NAY NOT REBUILD
HANMNSON Mill

Hankinson, N. D., Aug. 23.-Just a
week age yesterday the flour mill at
this place., which has been standing
for twenty-three years, burned to the
ground, at a total loss Of 1000. In
surance will recover about n third,
but the mill will not be rebuilt. 1t
was owned by J. J.. Jones, a pioneer
of Richland county, who is left fnan-
cially unable to rebuild, and Hankin-
son has lost its largest industry.
Tramps r supposed to have caus-
ed he fire, which originated in the
elevator and rapidly spread to the
mill. Hankinson is a railroad juno
ton and thansients have been hang
ing about the railroad yards in great
numbers. They are known to have
Inhabited the driveway at night.

REMARKABLE SCORE
MADE BY REUTER-

Perhaps the record golf score play
ed by John Reuter-, Jr., over the Dick
inson links Friday may be of interest
to Bismarck golfers. 1t establishes
new score in Dickinson for both the
8 and is holes, the former record
for 8 holes, also held by Mr.. Reuter-,
being 81. The playing distance Of the
Dickinson course is 1880 yards. and,
considering the greens, is quite a re-
markable score. Mr.. Reuter- also
held the record for the Bismarck
links, of 37-9S-75, which was recent
|ly broken by Frayne Baker Of this
city. Mr.. Reuter- being a profession
al, is, of course, barred from the local
game, but his score of Friday, which
IS as follows, is interesting:

HAS Invented
new harvester

Enderlin, N. d., Aug. 23.-W. G. En-
gle has invented an automatic COM
bined harvesting and threshing ma
chine. Instead Of cutting the grain,
he has a device that pulls the heads
off the standing grain. The thresh-
ing operation is similar to the old
methods, the threshing part being at
tached to the other and pulled across
the field. Three men can cut and
thresh 40 acres per day. The power
is furnished by a traction engine and
the only teams needed are those that
haul away the grain. The Engle ma
chine takes a strip sixteen feet in
width as il drives across a field.

SECURED SHEEP
FROM MONTANA

Sheldon, N. d., Aug. 23.--FOur To-
cal farmers have secured an entire
train load Of sheep from Montana,
which they will ~fatten on the stubble
fields and later in the season ship to

MOVING GRAIN TO
. Higher GROUND

Sheldon. n. D., Aug. 23.-Becaise
of the heavy floods in this vicinity,
many farmers have been carrying
shocks of grain from the low swales
and holes to the higher ground and
restocking the grain. In some places
the water was almost deep enough to
cover the shocks. A system of drain
ing the low holes through driven
wells is to be tried by many farm
ers. This, it is. claimed, will make

CUTTING WHEAT
and SEEDING RYE

Ryder, N. D., Aug. 23.-Cutting
wheat and seeding rye with the same
team is the practice followed by G.
Wohlk of this vicinity. He has a
drill the same width as the binder
and attached to the harvesting ma
chine. The same horses pull both.
In this manner Wohlk avoids having
to set the wheat shocks over, as they
are shocked right on the ground that
has already been seeded. 1t is an
economical method Of doing the work.

was that of John H%nlslander. a prom
inent farmer residing north of Milton,
who had been shooting prairie chick
ems. Peterson got wind of the viola
lion and hurried to the scene, but

left. He tracked the wheel tracks of
the wagon to the Hulslander farm
home, and the following morning
went out there and secured a confes.
sion. He was taken before a justice
and fined $40 and costs of the action.
