FARMERS OF THE RED RIVER
VALLEY ARE IN THE MIDST 4
OF BUSY SEASON

The warm weather of the past
ten days has hastened the ripening
OF the grain and made the harvest
come a week earlier than usual.
Much of the barley, oats and rye
has been cut already and also some
wheat. From now on the Red
River Valley farmers will be very
busy. Scarcity OF farm help is re-
ported, very few transient laborers
having arrived thus far. But if the
weather continues favorable, as
now seems likely, the men and ma
chinery already on the ground can
accomplish lots of work. Thresh-
ing, however, may be hampered,
unless more hands will be available.
Farmers everywhere say that the
crops are much better than could
be expected and the quantity is eX-
,ceptionally fine.
