county. will say thanks to the Dovre
scribe, as that was the Township
where I lived and am best acquainted.
Up here in North Dakota we have
had a more than usual fine fall with
sunshine and warm days, and lot of
fall blowing is done. People expect
good price for grain next year on &C.
count Of the war and consequently all
will seed in as much as possible next
spring. On Nov. 10th we had our first
snow, but not enough for sleighing.
The crop didn't turn out as we'll as
expected, we had straw enough, but
the hot and dry weather in July made |
the grain light and shrunken. The
general grade is Nos. and 3; the av-
erage yield per acre was about ~
bushels of wheat, 20 Of barley, 30 Of
oats and of flax; but as the prices on
all kinds Of grain is good, people are
satisfied.
Here as elsewhere are some people
who seem to think they can afford to
buy everything whether they have any
use for it or not. l know one here who
bought $400 piano year ago, and
this fall all his stock was sold on
sheriff's sale. 1t might be said about
