twelve BUSHELS
AVERAGE YIELD
Is the Opinion of Minneapo-
lis Grain Man After In
spection Trip.

The wheat crop in the eastern part
Of North Dakota will not average
higher than 12 bushels to the acre in
the opinion of John Mcleod of the
John Mcleod Grain company of Min
neapolis, who has just completed a
1000 mile auto tour through the state.
"The crop appears to be badly spot
ted" said Mr.. Mcleod today. I'm
many places we would see field
which would yield 20 or rs bushels
to the acre on one side of the road
and Immediately on the other side, one
which would not yield over five or six
bushels.
I'm many places also there appears
to be an excellent stand of grain but
when it is closely inspected the ears
are found to be almost empty. This
is due largely, think. to the heavy
rains and hot weather which prevail
ed during July"
Mr. Mcleod went as far west as
Churchs Ferry. He reports the crops
lying west Of Grand Forks to be in
better condition than those to the
south, in the vicinity Of Fargo.
He will ,eave this afternoon and will
motor through northwestern Mime
sofa to the twin cities.

"All right. let's get started" said
Judge Leighton and the three learned
gentlemen strolled out in the direction
of the machine.
Judge Fisk grasped the crank and
peated the process; still nothing doing,
a third. and a fourth time he spun
the engine viciously. Naturally, there

charges Of bribery in connection with
the McLain Cooper murder trial, when

This report was submitted to the
judge shortly before o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon, 48 hours after the
last evidence in the case had been
heard by the jury.
The failure Of the grand Jury to find
any indictments involves the dismiss
