REPORTS
ARE PROMISING
Harvesting in Full Blast Over
Entire State Some Thresh-
ing Done.

Portal, N; D., Aug. 2O.-Harvesting
operations in this section Of the state
commenced in earnest today, when
numerous farmers moved onto their
fields with binders this morning. A
few fields Of barley and oats were
cut on Friday and Saturday Of last
week and the close of this week will
see many fields Of these grains in
the shock, with wheat harvest to be.
gin early next week.
"A survey Of crops in Burke county
SHOWS unparalleled prospects for one
OF the heaviest harvests ever known
in this section and all crops from
the Canadian boundary for 100 miles
north indicate that southern saskat.
chewan will also have a bumper
yield. Fields Of fife and bluestem
wheat are particularly heavy, the ma
jority OF heads being filled WITH five
and six rows Of full sized kernels
in place of short heads of four rows
as in former years. Fields Of mar
Quis and durum varieties of wheat
are rather thin and the straw from
these crops will be short.
Another grain elevator Is being
placed In commission at this place
and a large number Of farmers have
equipped themselves with leaders
and will ship their own grain direct.
No shortage of help has been expert
enced so far and laborers are arriv.
ing daily to be on hand when the big
rush begins.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y.-The town
clock having been put out Of commits
sion by pigeons which have chosen
the belfry Of the First Reformed
church as their home. residents Of
Poughkeepsle, who for hair a century
have depended upon the big timepiece
in the steeple,, will either have to buy
watches or guess at the time. Tho
birds have built their nests in the
works of the old clock and clogged up
the machinery.
The other morning at twenty min
utes to nine a big fat pigeon flew upon
the minute" hand and sat there for
more than half an hour, causing Mayor
Wilbur to miss bis train to Rhinebect.
The helpless caretaker appealed to
the chief Of police and he referred the
complaint to the city chamberlain. He
in turn passed It on to the board Of
aldermen and that body has referred
It to the public property COMMITTEES

Upper Mouse Prosperous.

Sherwood, N. D., Aug. 2O.-All
small grains In the upper Mouse riv.
er loop are. In excellent condition,
and barring unprecedented rain Or
hall storms, the yield at Sherwood
will be one of the best in the history
Of the country.
Wheat, oats, barley; rye and fax

harvest will be general by the last
Of next week.
Hay is abundant, alfalfa. clover,

Jud Reoorts some R"st.

Jud, N. D., Aug. 2O.-Considerable
oats and barley has been cut during
the past week and some wheat. The
warm weather during the past few
days is ripening wheat very fast.
Reports of damage by rust are again
coming in and it appears that late
grain may suffer some. There is also
some damage reported due to a blight
Of some kind. It Is reported from
the experiment farm at Edgeley that
their crops have suffered from this,
but they have not yet worked it out
to ascertain the nature or cause Of
It. Let us hope the damage from
this source may be less than is an.
ticipated.

viii Pass Expectations.

Souris, N. D., Aug. 20.-Harvest is
on in full blast and promises to be
a good crop. There are spots that
are very short, but the ears are ex.
ceptionally good. The general opin'
ion seems to be that even the light
spots will give : yield beyond ex.
pectation. In localities where the
stand is good the yield will be very
good, indeed.

The earlier crops, such rs barley
and oats, as we'll as rye, are being
