WILL WELCOME
EARLY SPRING

Mandan, N. D., March 9.-"Farm-
ers will especially welcome an early
spring this year." said G. d. Riesland
of the Standard Grain company after
a trip throughout the western part of
the state. ITO say anything about
crop prospects now would be merely
guesswork. However, it is a matter of
fact that but little fall plowing was
done, and farmers will have their
hands full when the ground thaws
out. 5.-.
"The big rush during threshing sea-
son last fall; the fact that many farm
ers were forced to leave their grain
in the fields in shock, and unfavor-
able weather during the fall, has been
responsible for less than 40 per cent
of the usual fall plowing.
There Is more than enough mois-
ture stored up to germinate the crops,
and give them a splendid start" said
Mr.. Riesland, but of course we must
get the usual June and July rains.
really look for another fine growing
season."

Snyder better first baseman than
any of the regular first sackers now

In the event that AL Bethel fails to
make good at second. Higgins will
shlft Jack Miller to the keystone bag

near to breaking up the fair for the
