claims it cost him to repair it. AS
stated in these columns before the
highway laws are very strict with
reference to leaving open places in
the roads and the township boards
who are custodians of the township
properties are responsible for any
omission. In former years when the
only motive power was the horse,
these things could be guarded against,
but with the automobile it is diff
cult matter to see some of these de-

EARLY 7HRESHING RETURNS
SHOW CROP IS NOT so BAD
Wheat Yield is Light But Oats and
Barley Over Half Crop-Fore
cast Getting Brighter

Monday after his return from trip
through much of the western part of
the county Field Agent j. w. Haw,
Of the better farming movement, was
able to make public statement that
crop conditions through that section
had at least ina number of instances
been estimated as much worse than it
really is. A case to the point is the
farm of John Brigna]l in the vicinity
of Hannah, near Rush Lake, where
the twelve acres Of wheat threshed
off field of breaking gave yield of
124 bushels, an average of 1Oa BUSH
els per acre. A fact that speaks
highly for the quality of the sample
is that it sold right from the machine
at an elevator in Hannah for 81. 06
per bushel Even in case this may
prove to be maximum yield of this
years wheat crop, and many have
less it is evidence of the fact that any
farmer who. by hasty decision con-
cludes to burn the crop off his land
instead of harvesting and threshing
it is making a mistake.
*.*
The 1916 crop of grain within a
marketing radius of Easily is estimat-
ed as being half crop by L. C.
Straus, who has charge of the bust.
ness of the Cavalier County Lumber
Co., at that point. Backing up this
estimate oats were brought to the ele-
vator there yesterday from the farm
of John Lorentz that turned out a
yield of thirty bushels per acre.
There is also..considerable barley com.
ing onto the market at Easily this
week from the vicinity of Olga and
it is said to be giving yield of 25
and 27 bushels per acre. No wheat
has yet been threshed around Easily
yet but an average varying from five
to seven bushels is looked for.
***
Western Cavalier county is finding
the early threshing reports of wheat
are better than anticipated. Wheat
threshed last week by farmer near
Sarles gave yield of eight bushels
per acre and sold for $1.O4 at the
elevator. Near Clyde, field of
wheat is reported to have gone thir-
teen bushels to the acre by weight
measure and graded No. 2 Northern.

John Maybe was in from his farm
near Osnabrock for weekend visit

sisted of wheat and barley, the form
er giving yield of nine bushels per

Before it was cut it had the appear

would indicate that the south-end of

Elcock's contract expires this year and he will not return, preferring to devote his whole time to business.
 Although the Generals anticipate no trouble with the Aggies. they realize that the North Carolinians have thor oughly secuted every game in which Washington and Lee has played during the past few weeks and they are not going to take any chances on their opponents getting away with anything. The Thanksgiving contest with the Aggies has been an annual one for sev- eral years, but this is the first time that it has been scheduled for Raleigh, and the Generals are anxious to give them a licking near their own home.
