Next week, beginning Sept

The demand for seed corn i
becoming greater every year.
Good seed, (and sofnts that il
not 80 good has been selling

a number of years. Yields Of
fifty bushels per acre and more
are not uncommons here. Three

make " bushels per acre.
Home grown seed when prop-
erly handled always gives the
best results.
BY selecting the earliest ma
turing ears each year the crop
can be made to mature earlier
from year to year, and ripe
corn is worth more than soft
corn or fodder.

Harvest in North Dakota is
nearing an end and the thresh-
ing machine is now in universal
demand. As the season pro-
crosses it becomes more and
more evident that the crops are
running ahead of estimates of
the past few weeks. For a
time it was feared that this
season would not be a good one
but reports indicate that in
most parts of the state the
wheat is threshing out close to
an average yield. and other
grains are doing even better.
On some of the demonstration
fields near Grand Forks, yields
of thirty-three bushels of wheat
to the acre are reported.
On the Haggart farm, near
Fargo, "a 200 acre field of oats
averaged 82.bushels to the acre.
A 200 acre field of wheat on the
same farm gave yield of %
bushels per acre.
One of the most satisfactory
phases of the crop situation
this Year is the splendid corn
crop. Throughout the entire
state the crop is fast reaching
maturity, and it is probable
that this will be the banner
year for corn in North Dakota.
Never in the history of the
state has there been so much
blowing done in August.
Many farmers are blowing be-
fore stacking or threshing.
Ernoxings the. shocks oyer onto
the plowed field.
Seven wheat fields in the
vicinity of Larimore turned out
yields running from seven to
twenty-five bushels, the various
yields being %, 20. 1872, 10 and
Z bushels an acre.
On the Geo. Maze farm near
Montpelier, Stutsman county.
Scotch fife wheat averaged Is
bushels an acre, while barley
ran 45 bushels an acre. Blue
stem wheat averaged IL bushels
an acre, both kinds of wheat
grading No. 1 Northern.
Wheat on the Birks farm
south of Jamestown averaged
10 bushels an acre. On the
Geo. johnson farm. also south
of jamestown, barley averaged
50 bushels an acre.
August Nelson of Harwood
threshed wheat that averaged
q fraction better than twenty
Ave bushels an acre.
Much grain is being market
ed in the extreme southern and
in the eastern counties Of the
state.
With the drought conditions
prevailing in many of the CEN
trail western states and intense
heat in the east, the satisfact-
ory showing Of the North
Dakota crops makes every
North Dakotan proud of
his state and more CO NJ
vinced than ever that this
is the best state in the union,
for a permanent home.

MUNSEY'S APPEAL
FOR NEW PARTY
Still Thinks Republicans and
Progressives Gould Come
to Agreement.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, March 12.--In no way
discouraged because his two previous
appeals for the amalgamation OF the
republican and progressive parties
were unsuccessful, Frank A. Munsey,
newspaper owner, today made third
appeal for the two parties TO meet
on neutral ground and from an entire
ly new party. He pointed out that
the republicans have plenty of money
and many mediums of publicity
through newspapers which the pro-
gressives do not have.
He said that the suggestion that
money or campaign expenses can be
raised by popular subscription was a
fallacy, asserting that 'all attempts
to raise money in any considerable
amounts in that way have been flat
failures" In conclusion he said:
"To get down to actualities, sup
pose forty percent or more Of the
republican voters of the country were
to pledge themselves in signed
agreement to send delegates to ma
tional conference with view to get
ting together on principles and te
forming a new party, something
would be doing. real action begun
Politicians may say this is not practi
cal and the do-nothings general,
oppose it. But it is clear that sucf
move, carried out in good faith
would pull off victory.
Forty percent of the republicans
pledged to such a conference with
1 like percent OF progressives- and m.
guess Is that the latter would b,
/ found-would be enough to found th
new party, and once formed, it is
certainty that the other fellows hov
ering around on the outskirts woul
4 hustle to get in out of the wet Th
crux of the whole matter is this: Ar
the repuhlicans-the rank and file o
the republicans independent of tn
/ bosses-ready to join in such move
ment and ready to give up the oil
! name for a new one under which the
1 could be strong and efficient power
I, This fact established, the ether sid
would look to me easy"

union striking for twenty per cent
increase in wages in order that they
may be able to feed and clothe them
selves properly, union leaders today
gave the opportunity of testing ex-
actly what the girls are up against us
der present conditions. 1t was point
ed out that, while some earned ten to
fifteen dollars week, there were
many who could not. In the crowded
headquarters In the labor temple
score of girls were selected, indis-
criminately, to demonstrate their own
budgets.
1t was shown that to buy essential
articles of clothing many of the girls
were forced to deny themselves their
usual economical means. Most of
the girls, absolutely exhausted from
nine to ten hours of the most labor
ious work must do their own laundry
at night. Few are able to spend as
much as a nickel ON moving picture
shows or candy and they admit that
lthey are often cold and hungry but
| they insist that 991s per cent Of the
| sirl workers stay good because they
realize the end If they succumb to the
lure of pretty clothes and shining
Jewels.

| ed when asked what would be her fate

hospital of course, they admitted, but
when the period of convalescence
comes it must be faced with absolute

A cents week; and she sends dollar
home each week to her aged mother.
But she is an exception.

and sixty cents of her other dollar
