A Bemidji merchant has written
a letter to number of his customers
in regard to the condition of the
wheat market in this country In
which he states:
Europe needs about 550,000,000
bushels of wheat between now and
the next crop.
The United States will have sur
plus of 100000, 900 bushels Of wheat
to sell.
Canada has a surplus crop of $50,
900, 900 bushels.
The Argentine has a surplus crop
of 100, 100000 bushels.
India and Australia have a surplus
crop of so, 900, 900 bushels.
Russia has, at her ports on the
Black Sea. awaiting the. opening of
the Dardanelles, 100000, 900 bushels.
Great Britain can buy of Canada,
Argentine, India and Australia, all
of whom are her debtors, and pay
for her purchases with sterling ex-
change at par. Sterling exchange
between this country and Great
Britain is at a large discount and
Great Britain will naturally buy in
markets where the rates of exchange
are in her favor.
If the Dardanelles should be opened
in sixty days Europe's needs of $780,
100000 bushels can be supplied
without one bushel from the United
States. ~. L.
If the farmers, generally, hold their
wheat in the belief of a certain
strong advance later on, it will be- a
mistaken policy. The .wisest course
is to refuse either to hold the crop
back for a rise, Or rush it to market
in such quantities as to break
prices.
This means steady marketing by
the producer as his convenience per-
mits, so that he will, at the end of
the season, have received the average
market price for the season. -

ready to be handed to the
governor unless he is given a
freer hand in the administra-
ton of the institution. The
trouble between the warden
and the governing board is over
the formers use of the honor
system among the convicts.
The board is of the opinion
that he is too lax in this mat
ter and that at least two seri-
Gus crimes that have occurred
in the prison are due to this lax
discipline. says the Minot
Optic.
But inside information is
that the warden himself is dis
couraged over his efforts at re-
forming men who are stepped
in crime by putting them upon
their honor. One Of the TRACE
dies of the institution was the
murder recentlyo IF the warden's
wife during his absence from
the institution one night. A
trusty is accused of having
committed the murder. The
crime which came 80 close to
the warden did not altogether
upset his confidence in the
honor system. He said it was
not the fault of the system but
an isolated instance.
1t would seem that over-zeal
is really the trouble more than
the honor system. There are
men who even to secure liberty
would never break their word
nor betray a trust. That is
their standard of honor. There
are others who would lie and
deceive in the basest manner
in order to secure even an Op-
portunity to escape. They re-
gard their honor only as a
thing to be bartered for conf
dence. 1t is foolish to place
men of these two classes in the
same situations a n d expect
them to be worthy of the same
trust. That is the point where
in the honor system fails.

T THIS CROP

1t is conceded everywhere
that, barring accidents, the
crop now being harvested will
be the largest in volume of any
ever raised in North Dakota.
This is true of wheat, the prin-
cipal crop, and of the coarser
grains and forage crops with
the single exception of corn.
The prices at which this forage
crop will be sold far exceed the
prices realized for any bumper
crop. The result will be that
the people of North Dakota
will have far more money to
dispose of this year than ever
before. What will be done
with it?
The question is a pertinent
one. We may narrow it down
to our own community, and
the individual may narrow it
down to his own case. Are
the results of this years sue
cess to be described by the
word more or by the word
''b~etter?' Does success mean
more land, more crops. and
more labor, or does it mean
better farming, better stock,
better schools, better roads,
better homes and better living!
A good deal depends on the
answer. What will be the
answer here?

UNCLE SAM SELLS
HOUSE LOTS

The old days when Uncle
Sam had land enough to give
every man a farm seems now
to be receding towards the dim
historic distance, for at the
Flathead Indian reservation in
Montana, this summer. Uncle
Sam has been selling his land
in house lots instead of in
farms, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
The thousand lots of land
sold ranged in size from two
to five acres only. The lots are
near the Glacier National Park
and have wonderful scenic
beauty. They even possess an
excellent automobile boule-
ward.
During the first two days of
the sale. one hundred and six
ty-four lots were sold for about
$35, 600. or about two hundred
dollars apiece. the highest
price being nearly $1,000. Ii
seems that the sale was not for
the homesteader, but appealed
to men able to build summer
homes in beautiful locations,
no matter what the distance
from their city homes. The
Knights Templar of Montana
bought outright one whole is
land in Flathead lake and are
planning to erect a temple on
it.
Thanks to the automobile
and perhaps to the rapidly
coming acceptance, the vacation
