Nearly 5000 0 bushels of wheat q

yearly 300, 900 bushels of flax, and a
little over 100000 bushels of barley,
rye and speltz, making a total of ap
proximately 100000 bushels of small
rrain, were raised In Mckenzie county
last season, according to the county
statistical report made by County
Auditor Benson from the data gather
ed by the assessors. In round num-
bers this yield was garnered from 1885,
600 acres. The acreage sOWnytO small
grain this season will exceed that
planted last year By more than 10, 0
acres.
More than .25,5O9 bushels of corn
were husked and q little over 1000
acres were cut for fodder. Although
the acreage planted this year is near
ly double that planted last year it is
expected that the amount husked will
not come up to that of last season as.
the June frosts set it back consider
ably.
Last year 1776 acres were sown to
alfalfa and 17O6 acres We're soWn this
spring.
Three hundred and n%inety-five acres
planted to potatoes last year yielded
41,7S3 bushels. Over 500 acres were
planted this year and conditions are

Warsaw IS the greatest railroad

Vistula, here nearly half a mile broad.
is navigable for large river boats for
hundreds Of miles above It; as from
the city to the sea. and its water
borne commerce has made it possible
for Warsaw to become a real compete
tor of the great industrial cities OF
Silesia for the trade Of the eastern
provinces Of the German empire. In
German hands it may prove as valu-
able as Liege with its armament and
ammunition factories. or as the north.
