of hay to feed COW during the win
ter, unless there is plenty of good
straw or other rough feed to 60 with
it. This year, there will be serious
shortage of straw and old straw stacks
that are in good condition will be in
demand. Some are talking of ship
ping in hay from more favored To-
calities, but this will be expensive.
Some have turned their stock into
grain fields, which will furnish plenty
of feed for the time being. The situa-
ton, to say the least, is the most
acute the writer has known during his
sixteen years residence in the state.
North Dakota alone is not suffering.
Minnesota is in practically the same
fix, the drouth extending to within a
short distance of the Twin Cities.
Montana's crops appear to be in as
hard shape as our own. South Da-
kota is little better. The spring
wheat crop of Oklahoma, Kansas and
Missouri is almost failure. In this
vicinity, some of the grain is already
filing. The quality is going to be ex-
cellent, but the crop small and the
grain so short that most Of it can be
secured only with header. Wheat is
certain to remain high. The rye was
not a complete failure as it appeared
to have been There is considerable
rye that will average 10 bushels to the
acre.

the prices we have been accustomed to
paying for Irvine. For this reason the
dealers will likely be slow to stock up
with twine as they, will not want to
carry any of the high priced Irvine
over. This, together with the great
shortage of cars and the general tie
up of the railroad systems may cause
"a very severe shortage Of Irvine when
it is most needed. It would seem the
part of wisdom to lay in at least one
half the Irvine for the normal harvest.
This will enable the Irvine dealers to
get out good part of the Irvine to
where it is needed in time. The farm
er, this year, who leaves off buying
his Irvine and extra parts until he is
already to commence cutting is very
liable to find that it cannot be supplied
for several days and this may result in
great loss throughout the state if
steps are not taken by the farmers to
get their Irvine and extras immedi-
ately.

SERIOUS FEED SHORTAGE.

There is no improvement in the con-
dition of the crops generally thruout
the Northwest. A good shower Sat-
urday afternoon visited the country
south Of Minot, extending ten OF
twelve miles south, light showers fall
ing in this city. The rain was very
heavy, water standing in the low
places in the fields for "a hours af-
forwards. Some hail fell. Some ben
eft naturally will result from the rain
but the farmer who gets his seed
back this year will be lucky. The
worst feature of the season is the lack
of hay. Our farmers have been very
successful in the stock business and
practically every farmer has from a
dozen to fifty or sixty head of cattle
and horses. Many will certainly have
to dispose of much of their stock. II
is estimated that it requires three tons

New reaping machinery is high
priced and difficult to obtain. For this
reason the old machines should be put
in frst-class condition to work at an
early date. Repairs maybe scarce.
The different machine companies, ow-
ing to the high priced iron and steel
products, will probably not carry any
more repairs than what they deem
absolutely necessary. In year Of
short crops it takes a more efficient
reaping machine and the wear and
tear on the machines is often greater.
For this reason every farmer should
20 over his reaping machinery now
and replace all the worn-out parts.
He will be sure then that he has the
necessary equipment to cut his har-
vest, even should this supply of extra
parts run out. This will be great
help to the different machine concerns
as it will do away with the great rush
for repairs for binders which comes
about the first of August. If the de-
mands are made Immediately to put
them in first-class running order, the
demand for extra parts will be greatly
reduced, during the actual harvest
and the machine companies will be in
much better position to fill that de-
mand.

Russia continues to make important
gains in eastern Galicia, capturing
several more villages and a large
number of prisoners. The Teutons
evidently are alarmed at the state
of affairs along the east front
and tried to induce the Russians to
quit fighting by displaying banners
above the trenches bearing the words
"Let us be friends" The Crown
Prince has made furious attacks along
the west, but met with severe losses
The British army has been nibbline

NORTH DAKOTA is UP AT THE
TOP AGAIN.
NY country-llsy she ever bs
right; but right or Wrongly
Country"

IOP AGAIN.
That business has been good during
the month of June in North Dakota
has been further proven by the re-
port of the Research Department of
the Credit Clearing House. Their re-
port is based on the compilation of the
Credit barometer, which investigates
monthly over 100000 active ledger ex-
periences, aggregating over $60,000,-
10000.
There are four states in the Union
whose purchase activities in June in
creased per cent over May of 1917
They are Maryland and the District
of Columbia, Minnesota, North Dako-
ia and Washington. The full report
for the state of North Dakota reads
as follows:
purchase activity shows an in
crease of per cent over May and an
increase of per cent over June, 1916
Indebtedness remains stationary with
both May Of this year and June OF
1916. Payment activities show an in
crease of 6 per cent over May and ar
increase of per cent over June
1916"
There are several states in tbs
Union that show decrease. They are
as follows: Alabama, Arizona, Mis-.
sissippi, New York, Oregon, Pennsyl
vania, Rhode Island, South Carolina
Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
North Dakota therefore, weatheret
the period of depression and pessi
mism, which usually hits the stat'
along in June, when people are watch
ing the crops day and night and art
ever ready to talk calamity. Nortl
Dakota, by and large, measures VI
pretty well among the states of thu
Union, and our people should taxi
heart at the fine showing she is max
ing from year to year.
