PRAISES MINNESOTA FARMERS
F. L. Goodman Urges AgricuIturists Of
This State to Employ the
Same Methods.

Farmers of Becker and Otter Tail
counties, Minnesota, in the opinion of
T. J.. Goodman Of Grand Forks, are
skilled tillers of the soil. If North
Dakota farmers applied the same
methods this state would attain a
new prosperity, he declared.
Mr.. Goodman, former president OF
the Grand Forks Commercial club, has
returned from a ten-day automobile
trip.
On most OF the farms II finds
from seventy to one hundred head of
hogs; cattle are specialized on others
and all are making good profits" he
said.

CROP REPORTS ARE MIXED,
Some Counties Will Do Well and in
Others Wheat Is Only Fair.

OtnerS wheat is only Fair.
While threshing operations are
quite general in the state not enough
returns are available yet to deter
mine accurately the prospective acre
age yield of the several districts. Re
ports at hand, however, show that the
crop is badly spotted in the different
parts of the state.
In the Morton county district some
good returns are reported. William
Price, residing north of Mandan, OBJ
tanned an average yield of twenty
bushels of Scotch Fife, while he OBJ
tanned t~wenty-eight bushels of Mar
quis wheat to the acre. Twenty BUSH
els of wheat on the Hairy Grieve
farm and fifty bushels an acre of oats
on the r. D. Belden farm are SHELBY
district reports. Ben Campbell, on l
farm ten miles south of Mandan, OBJ
tanned an average of twenty bushels
of wheat. The indications are that
the Morton county average will be
higher than normal this season.
In the Finley, Steel county district.
some fair yields are being reported.
The effect of the intense heat of the
late summer season is clearly indi-
Gated, however. The best yield was
eighteen bushels of Marquis, while a
field Of macaroni wheat, generally
considered n of the best in the dis
trlct, threshed out only ten bushels.
Walsh county reports also show the
crop spotted. On a field just east OF
Grafton an average of twenty-five
bushels of wheat was threshed, while
just east of the city the reports show
an average Of less than twelve bushels.
T~hreshing is in progress clear north
to the Canadian boundary line and in
almost every instance the operations
are the earliest known. At the pres
ent rate, with the continuance of the
good weather conditions, threshing OPP
erations should be completed in three
weeks, except for isolated pieces of
late flax.

that the demand for American goods

race hatred engendered by this great

many years. and that when the war is
once over. Germany will buy nothing with
the stamp OF a country that belonged to
