and one five-acre patch of barley on
his farm just west of the city. The
patches were put in under the direc-
ton of the Great Northern railway
farm experimental experts. These
patches were threshed this week, the
wheat running from twenty -four to
twenty eight bushels an acre, grading
NO. / northern. The barley yielded
forty-one bushels per acre and was of
satisfied that the yield would have
been at least a third more but for the

An interest in the Melrose paper own

Ryder Journal: A week or two ago
the local farmers Equity Elevator
Co.. took action through it's directors
to tranact it's business this sea-
son with the Equity Exchange at
Minneapolis. We mentioned the cir
cumstances and that the local COM
pany had given security in the sum
of $50. 900 in effecting the deal. That
appears to be as far as 1t went, for
on the first occasion the local COM
pany had to have cash the exchange
was unable to furnish any money
with the result that the local company
has rescinded its former action and
has agreed to do business with Ben
son, Newhouse & Stabeck Of Minnea-
polls as heretofore.
The first wheat Of this season to be
marketed at a st. Thomas elevator
| was brought in this week. The wheat
was threshed on the Jos. Clifton farm
and Is running about fifteen bushels
to the acre. The field threshed was
sown early and therefore is yielding
fair. and the sample of grain Is good
according to M. Buchanan, agent for
the Monarch Elevator Co. bere. where
the grain was marketed. While some
barley and rye have been threshed,
there has not. as yet, been sufficient
an idea Of the general yield, but early
OWE grains will in all probability
yield good while that sown late will
be very poor, and in some places may
not be cut. 1t Is expected that thresh-
ing will be general there the first of
next week If weather permits.
