MANY new BINDERS WERE
SOLD HERE This SEASON
Sales Made by Langdon Farm Ma
chinery Dealers Shows a Fifty
Per Cent Increase

Langdon dealers have sold about
seventy new binders to farmers resid-
ing in this vicinity since the begin
ming of the harvesting season. A few
minutes chat with the men of our city
who handle farm machinery gives
better than anything else an idea of
the immensity of the crop, which will
be safely harvested before the end of
the coming week and the amount of
new machinery and the large quantity
of binder twine that is being required
to handle it.
The dealers have had their hands
full satisfying the demand for har-
vesters and all agree that if they had
another car load apiece they could
easily have been sold Of the twine
problem they find they are not yet
sure of being able to get all that is
needed to satisfy the demand. The
grain crop this year as a rule is both
heavy in straw and heavy in yield,
and acre for acre is taking at least
third more twine than it did last
year.
The first threshing around Langdon,
should the weather continue favorable
will start next week and with fairly
steady run should wind-up by the
close of September. Towns up the
line are complaining of a scarcity of
men and the same complaint comes
from the towns on branch lines to the
west.
Local dealers in farm machinery
explain that the big demand for both
machinery and twine for the handling
of the crop Of this year can to an
extent be explained by the attempt to
get through last season with as little
outlay as possible. But the immen-
sity of the crop that is now waiting
the thresher should be given due
credit for the big boost this fall IN
the business of the farm machinery
dealers, not alone of Langdon, but
over the county and to a large extent
over the entire state.

new 1915 CROP OUTLOOK
ALL OVER CAVALIER COUNTY
Every Indication Cavalier County
is Harvesting and Threshing
Biggest Crop in History


While around Hannah and through
the western part of the county the
larger percentage of the crop is har-
vested, the eastern half of the county
and around Milton still has about half
of its crop to cut. Even the light
crop to the west and southwest Of
Hannah, now that it is in the shock, |
shows promise of much better yield |
than it would have seemed possible
just before harvested Around Milton
the frequent heavy rains during July
have occasioned an unusual heavy
growth of straw. 1t also promises a
heavy yield and much has lodged
owing to the weight of the heads on
the ripening straw, delaying the cut
ting. Some of the record breaking
yields per acre for grains of all kinds
may be looked for from the east and
southeastern sections of Cavalier
county this fall.
*x#
Calvin reports the grain crop of
that section: though not being what it
had been expected the early part of
the summer, as proving since they
started harvesting much better than
estimated at that time Short straw
has evidently not hindered the heads
from filling with a we'll formed hard
kernals Of grain. With the exception
of few fields Of ate sown barley
and oats, cutting Was completed the
end of the week. Reports of the
thresher are expected to show the
1915 crop better one than that of
last year.
During the past week rye and bar
ley were threshed on the farms of
James Mcclure and john Mcleod in
the vicinity of Hannah. The rye on
the Mcclure place is reported as
averaging twenty bushels to the acre,
while the barley threshed by John
Mcleod showed a run of upwards
forty bushels. Both were fine plump
samples.
*.*
Milton reports crop losses in that
vicinity ranging from So to Is per
cent in the hail storm which passed
over this county on Friday afternoon
the 18th inst. Most of the farms on
which damage is reported lie south
west of the town of Milton and in
Montrose township.
*::*
Threshing early harvested barley
and rye was started in the vicinity of
Munich last week. The crop through
that section of the county has been
considered to be somewhat light, but
the yields of the thresher, so far are
learned as coming somewhat as a
pheasant surprise in most cases.
a*#
| Yesterday afternoon threshing
started in earnest on the farms of j.
F. Ramage and M. Liebeler adjoining
town. Both have threshing outfits of
their own and a steady run can be
looked for around here until the end
Of the season, if weather permits.

FACULTY ASSIGNMENTS
NOW UP TO CHANCELLOR

At the request of the commit
tee representing the students of
the state university reporters
were excluded from the execu-
tive Office when the resolutions
adopted by the student body at
the university were presented to
Governor Stewart. The reso-
]utions, which call for the resig-
nation of ]. H. T. Ryman as a
member Of the local board of
trustees of the university were
presented by a committee con-
sisting of Payne Templeton of
Miles City, chairman; C. T.
Ward of Missoula, Clarence Han
ley of Butte and Alva Baird of
Stevensville. Reporters for the
Helena papers were at the CUB
ernatorial office when the COM
mittee arrived. Chairman Tenn
pleton made the request that be-
fore the resolutions were pre-

sented reporters be excluded.
Governor Stewart said he had no
objection to the psesence Of the
newspaper men, but as the
meeting was at the request of
the students, it was wholly for
their decision whether it be an
executive or an open one. Then
the members of the committee
consulted and announced they
did not want the reporters pres
ent and the newspapermen re-
tired.
1t developed after the meeting
that the basis Of the resolutions
was the allegation by the STU
dents that owing to the actions
of Mr.. Ryman there was friction
between him and the other mem
bers of the faculty and that in
the interest of harmony either
he should resign, or there should
be an almost complete change in
the faculty membership.
After the meeting the students
gave out the following state
ment:
THE matters presented by the
committee Of students are mat
tiers of Importance and worthy
of consideration by the state
board of education. However,
in view of the fact that the state
board of education has arranged

has invested him with authority
