Made in St. Paul
STATE WITHOUT MEANS
TO REACH SITUATION
NO PESSIMISM HERE.

L. J. Garske, whose farm Is To-
Gated quarter Of mile north
west Of the capitol, almost within
the city limits Of Bismarck, In a.
region not particularly noted for
fertility, and which is decidedly
rolling, is not a crop pessimist.
Interviewed on the capitol car
coming into town this morning for
repairs to his binder, Mr.. Garske,
as tickled as boy with his first
breeches, said:
"I've got 80 acres OF wheat that
will 90 rs bushels to the acre it
1t aoes peck. It's waist high
and | never saw such heads, al
most breaking off Of their own
weight. I have some wheat on
top of the knoIIs that won't run
over 10 bushels, but ! figure my
little old wheat crop stands to net
me $500, which isn't bad. Then
I've GOT lot of oats that's going
to run IS bushels to the acre, and
my average will be 80. don't
know where the crop has come
from; | haven't had enough rain
UP there to wet a postage stamp,
but know the crops there--i
never saw anythink like it."
One rea son Mr.. Garske assigns
for his good luck Is the fact that
much Of his ground was summer
falIowed last year, when 1t grew
up rank with weeds. This heavy
growth held last winters abund-
ant SHOWS until spring, when all
of this moisture was pIowed un-
der.
Mr.. Garske's case Is not excep-
tionaI. Everyone coming In from
the valley is enthusiastic over
crop prospects. Wheat yields of
Is bushels are reported common.
Crops are good as far west as
jamestown, and only bad in spots
west Of there. Beginning almost
at the threshold of Bismarck and
extending south to the state line
crops are exceptionally 9ooo.

change is wasting his sympathy
