RUST RES|STENT
WHEAT IS GO0D

Jamestown, Aug. 24.-It is be-
lieved that the time is at hand when
red and black rust will have few
terrors for the farmers of North
Dakota and other states. The last
few seasons have demonstrated
that there is a strain of hard wheat
there is a strain of fax which Is
immune to wilt.
Judge Cofrey, Albert Monek, John
Matchie and other residents Of the
county have grown rust resistent
wheat this season and will secure
fine returns from their fields. The
grain stands bright, free and clear
Of all rust while the heads are full
and plump, kernels seemingly
bursting with gluten.
John Matchie has field Of 160
acres near jamestown which he be-
gan cutting Wednesday.-:After it
was too late to seed other wheats
this field was seeded to the rust
proof seed, but Notwithstanding
this late start the grain has come
forward in good shape and prom
ises a very good crop, everything
considered. Last year the crop
was better the weather conditions
being more favorable, and a yield
of rs bushels or better of splendid
kernels was secured.
A. A, Monek has similar field of
the same kind of grain and expects
to secure a good crop though the
field was hurt somewhat by the hot
weather. A carload Of this seed
was recently sold in the eastern
markets at a handsome price.
Judge Coffey reports he has field
Of this rust resistant wheat on his
farm near Courtenay. When he
saw the field few days ago the
straw was bright and clean and free
from all signs of rust, and promised
an abundant yield. However, the
success of the farms do not depend
upon the single crop of wheat, good
though it may be. The judge has
diversified we'll and has stock. and
many varities of grains and grasses
so that he Is sure to succeed with
ter how unpropitious the times,
markets or the elements may be-.
There are other fields known In
the county, the aggregate acreage
being considerable and sufficient to
provide considerable quantity of
seed for next season.
The threshed wheat shows that
the kernels are not quite so bright
as No. / northern wheat but are
of good color. At present it is
stated that buyers discount this
grain aDout ten cents bushel,
claiming it is better for seminola
purposes than for -four. The grain
is readily bought, however, and finds
ready purchasers in all markets.
Even at discount the grain is
highly profitable when weather con-
ditions make impossible the growth
of ordinary varieties owing to the
presence Of rust.
AS Stutsman county annually has
in some 100000 acres to wheats
the difference between a crop and
o half a crop is. a very important
item. A variation in yield Of only
four bushels an acre from an aver
age yield means O million dollars to
the grain growers Of Stutsman
county. A loss Of half Of the crop
as this season, is material item
and means millions. If this can be

it will mean millions of dollars tc
the farmers Of this county alone
and many times that in the entire
state at large.

SAME OLD STORY.
ABOUT LOADED GUN

Mapleton, N. D., Aug. 24.-A sad
accident happened Saturday after
noon at the Brenheiser farm home,
about nine miles southeast of Ma
poleon, when Marco Kaloyan was
accidentally shot by one of the
Brenheiser boys while examining a
hot gun.
1t appears that Marco Kaloyan,
nine years. old, was spending the
day at the Brenhet5er home. and
about l O'Clock the two boys were
examining the Dhot gun when in
sc lc manner the shell was dis-
charged, the entire load entering
the Kaloyan boys left side passing
through the body and tearing the
liver to bits. Death occurred Sun
day morning at 8 o'clock.
The elder Brenheiscr boys had
been cleaning tho gun that morn
inc and placed it back where 1t u.s.
ually stood. Later another Of the
Brenheiser boys. aged 19 years. in
company with the Kaloyan hoy,
took the gun and were examining
1t when 1t was discharged. The
older boy thought that his brother
iiaG removed the snell from the
gun when he cleaned it. and thought
the gun to be unloaded.
Funeral services were conducted
from the home Monday morning.

was SO small that it ac once arous-
ed suspicion and the sheriff's Office
was notified by telephone and a
quick run by auto to the place re-
suited in the arrest of the criminal
and the recovery Of the stolen pro-
perty. -...----.: ...-..
The theft was a decidedly w.. bold
one. Mr.. Scholl mad driven into
Granville with the outfit and left
the horse hitched TO the -huggy and
the former tied. to hitchrack in
the town. He reached the city
about II o'clock yesterday. and at
noon his brother, who is black
smith at Granville. noticed when he
went to dinner that the team was
missing. Lupo simply .unhttched
the horse, got into the buggy and
drove off. It was easy to follow
the team, as the horse had a peeu-
liar method Of travelling and would
weave from one side Of the road to
the other, leaving distinct and
peculiar trail behind the thief.
Mr.. Scholl- reached Minot this
morning after having traced the
team to this place. ard was delight
ed to learn that the criminal was
already behind the bars and his
property was in the custody of the
sherig.
About the only caution displayed
by the thief was in driving around
this city yesterday afternoon On his
way west. He suspected that the
officers would he on the lookout for
him and to avoid detection he took
a circuit to the south and kept
away from the streets.

Good Swimmer.
Donald was a good swimmer for
his age but as he attempted to as

grasped him about the neck and
both sank. The grasp was broken
and in some manner the smaller
boy managed to make his way to
shore while mo one saw Donald
rise to the surface after his first
appearance. -. -.. ~ ......

WARNS EGG DEALERS
TO PREVENT ARREST

,l%am informed that already
many complaints have been lodged
or setzures made, and North Dakota
dealers will Undoubtedly find them
selves hailed before the courts for
shipping in interstate commerce
eggs that are decayed, decomposed
and filthy material, unfit as an
article Of food" Is the way Dr.. E..
F. Ladd, state pure food commits
sioner, tells of the work that is be-
ing done by federal egg inspectors
vino are now operating in the state.
DR., Ladd advises those handling
eggs Ito candle t hem' and avoid
trouble, and commenting further in
a circular sent over the state, he
says:
The federal authorities are now
gathering evidence in North Dako-
ia. Remember as dealers you have
been warned, for the past five years,
that the eggs which were being
shipped and sold in the state con-
tained too many spoiled ones. too
many that were unfit to be used
and should never find their way on
to the market. The federal au-
thorities are now enforcing the
statute for the shipping of bad eggs
in i1terstate commerce. The work
has begun in North Dakota and this
DEF 4rtment is cooperating with the
federal authorities to see what can
bksIaone to cleean up the situation.
:sIsOealers should accept no eggs
s'T"Tl producers under any condi-
that are not sound and all
sAs1s, should be candled. Shippers
ny Id take no chance in having
shipped that are going to sub
ss%s5es1he- dealers to prosecution. The
Hed department in this state has
ealsSaToEed. BY sending out notices
to ,ge posted in the stores and
through bulletin. information to
warn the dealers of the need for
greater care. Farmers need to
see that greater care is exercised in
gathering the eggs and not allowing
them to remain upon the grouni
or in the nests or under such con-
dition that they become spoiled oe-
fore taken to the market. Local
merchants should handle them in
such a way as to get them into
storage as early as possible, other
wise there is bound to be trouble.
1t is an expensive proposition to
have your eggs seized and Destroy
ed or to be hailed into the courts
for violation of the Federal food
law. My advice is, therefore, can
ole Jour cges and take no chances

GIRL SHOT IN HAND
M|SCREANT UNKNOWN

Granville, N. D., Aug. 24.-While
playing on the back porch OF her
home, little Evelyn Beecher ~ was
shot in the hand, the bullet coming
from an unknown source: Mrs.
Beecher had been outside with her
until short time previous and her
first intimation Of anything wrong
was on hearing the little girl cry.
On examination it was found that
the bullet from a .22-ca1lpre rife
had gone right through her hand
As stated before evidence as to
who fired the shot has not been
found. Accidents Of this kind
should serve as q warning to every
one in the handling Of firearms.
This particular case might easily
have proven fatal had the little
girl been struck in a vital part.
Under the treatment of DR.. Kolb,
Evelyn is getting along very nicely.
