RETURN FROM CROP
INSPECTION TOUR,

field returned Friday from a crop in
spection tour thru western North Da-
kota. The entire trip was made by

the Wheatline, where the Spaulding
Elevator Company has large num-
ber Of grain elevators.
@ They state that after leaving the
Red River Valley on the Dakota side,
the crops looked very poorly and in
many instances, the farmers were
plowing their fields, preparing for
another crop year. In some localities
the condition varies and fair Yields are
expected but taken as whole the
crop in western Dakota are very light
In the Red River Valley, they state
the conditions are the best, even tho
only fair yield is expected.

POTATOES WILL ~-'
MAKE BIG CROP.

Potatoes have shown sharp decline
on the Twin City markets. Farmers
were paid from $1.0O to $1.25 for
homegrown stock last week. Never

buying strength and there is every in
dication that supplies will be disposed
of at remunerative prices. The states
potato yield has been estimated at
35,000000 bushels BY expert produce

most favorable selling opportunities

Farmers, according to recent ad-
vices, will now be able to make loans
from banks on potato warehouse re.
ceipts following an agreement between
the Federal Reserve Board and. the
Washington food administration
whereby potatoes, properly stored and
insured, will be classed as non-perish-
ables. Thus farmers, even if in need
of ready money, will be able to store
their potatoes if prices rule low. Stor-
age of late nOta foes ar harvest will al
so largely prevent gluts and low prices.

HARVESTING
HAS BEGUN
The 19l" Grain Crop is Practically Ma
tured and Ready for the Self Bind.
ers.-Marshall County Has Raised a
Fine Crop of Wheat.

xceptionally warm weather pre-
vailed the latter part Of last week and
hastened the ripenihg of the. grain.
No5damage to wheat from the ex-
cessiye heat is reported from this To-
cality, altho corn, potatoes and garden
stuffs suffered to some extent, mostly
on account of insufficient moisture.
Reports from all parts of the coun-
ty, and especially the western part
along Red river and Snake river, agree
that the wheat crop is simply immense.
Samples of well filed heads with
plump, we'll formed kernels, have been
collected from many different localities
and indicate a good yield as well as
excellent quality.
The cutting of oats, rye and barley
has commenced and some early fields
of wheat. Next week the wheat har-
vest will be general.

Make War on Sow Thistle.

During the past year the Northwest
Experiment Station has given wide
distribution to poster giving direc-
tions to eradicate SOW thistle This
poster also has pictures of the kinds
Of SOW thistle in order to acQuaint
those who may not be familiar with
the weed. In addition an eight page
bulletin prepared by Prof. F. L. Ken
nard has been widely distributed
throughout the Valley. In addition to
this work there have been meetings
held in every section of the Valley at
which time the eradication of SOW
thistle has been discussed. The weed
season is with us again. The educa-
tional work will be of no avail unless
the individual farmer and land owner
take drastic steps themselves to pre-
vent the spread of the SOW thistle. A
new law was passed by the last legis-
,lature provides for the appointment of
a county weed inspector who would
have special power in connection with
the sow thistle. The old law was
amended to include SOW thistle as a
noxious weed. It is the duty now, Of
the town and village officers to see
that this law is enforced. It is hoped
that every community will take up
this matter and carry it to a success
full completion. Every year will add
to the difficulties In the way. Prompt
action now in cutting the small
patches before they go to seed will
save you days Of labor and dollars In
cash later.

the Sunday school children and also
the adult members Of the Congregation.
upon the invitation of Mr.. and Mrs.

modern well-kept farm three miles
east of town, to spend the afternoon
and evening. Tables had been ar
ranged in a beautiful grove Of planted
trees, where the guests sat down and
partook of a bountiful repast of good
things to eat, together with ice cream,
lemonade. coffee, ETC., prepared and con-
tributed by the hosts and by the ladies
of the church. After the promptings
of the appetite had been satisfied, a
ball team was gotten up for the ac-
casion and game played between the
Germans, so-called, on one side, and
the Russians on the other, in which
the Germans" came out victorious by
a score Of 12 to 6. Horseshoe throw

were also indulged in and refresh

organ was placed among the trees at
the disposal of those who wished to

WARREN BOYS
ARE PROMOTED
Many Rank as First Class Privates.
All Pass Federal Exam
inatiOn.

Editor Warren Sheaf:
Your paper has reached us every
week since we left. I can assure you
that each and every one of the boys
were glad when it came Our mail is
distributed every morning when we re-
turn from our hikes while we are still
in line, so less confusion is caused
than if each were to question the Sar-
gent for his mail.
Our life is nearly the same every
day here in quarters, but suppose it
will change when we get to camp.
Every morning we are called at ten
minutes to six and then have few
setting-up exercises. We are then
lined up for mess and marched to the
restaurants for eats. We report at
seven-thirty for a hike Of about five
miles and are lined up. After our hike
we have rest and then are lined up
for drill. We are marched to the drill
grounds in the park, and drilled until
about twenty minutes to eleven. We
then march back to the Armory and
get ready for mess at eleven fifteen.
After mess we report at TIVE o. o'clock
alets, Ill. .sfs riioon drill
continues until about four o'clock and
then we return to the Armory and pre-
pare for supper, which comes at five
fifteen.
From the time we are done with
supper we are free until seven O'Clock.
The exercises held then are, salute
to the colors and retreat We are
sometimes given platoon movements al.
so, after retreat.
Saturday is wash day and inspection
day also. Everyone is supposed to
wash their dirty clothes and clean
their rifles. 1t is some sport I dare
say. All the Warren boys will return
as full fedged laundry men as soon
as released.
That the Warren boys take interest
in the work is evident by the number
OF promotions to first class privates
amongst us. There has been more
first class privates appointed from the
Warren boys than from those of other
towns and some feel rather sore about
it.
This evening we marched to the
park and were given comfort bags by
the Red Cross and other organizations
of the city, so are supplied pretty well
along the line of comfort bags. We
also passed in review before the cap
tain and did very we'll for rockies, or
practically so.
All Of the boys passed the Federal
examination last Thursday and are
now waiting for orders to move, which
seem slow at coming. We will not
leave this week according to the out
look, but are not sure. The company
is not fully supplied with the neces-
sary equipment nor is it full, but is
filling up fast, and before we leave we
expect to have a full company.
We do not have much time to write
as our time is taken up in drill and
good times, but will try and let you
hear Of our whereabouts whenever
| possible,
Everyone but the guards are out
now at leisure and so the place is
quite and will be until about eleven
o'clock when we are supposed to turn
| in.
Hoping this letter which is written
in haste will reach you in time, 1 re.

MANY ATTEND OLD
SETTLERS REUNION
Col. #. A. Green Resigns as President
of Association.-Hon Donald
Robertson Successor.
(By sheaf Correspondent

81 4
The eighth annual reunion of the
Old Settlers of Marshall and Kittson
counties. which was held Sunday at
Lundin's Grove east Of Stephen. is now
recorded on the pages of history as a
thing of the past and judging from
the many favorable comments express
ed, it was the best ever held. The
. in the morning, prevented large num-
Der of people from arriving before
noon. The program, however, with
only few slight variations was car
ried out as scheduled and the large
crowd, which was estimated to num-
ber about two thousand, was royalty
entertained by the splendid oratorical
and musical talent, which had been
secured for the occasion.
1t seems hardly possible that with
such an array Of talent, that anyone
could escape from taking, at least a
passing interest, in the subjects so well
handled by the. speakers. Splendid
music was rendered by different musi-
cal organizations. This part of the
program was furnished by the Halma
Band and Choir, Argyle Orchestra and
Happy Corner Quartette. Judging
from the number of encores, it is safe
to say that they were listened to by
an appreciative audience.
Lack Of time and space, prohibit
mentioning of the different speaches
made during the day separately. The
lecture, "The Conquest Of the World
given by, David Eugene Olson, presi-
dent of the International Bible Col
aege Of Minneapolis, was one of the
best ever listened to by the people of
this section of the country. So well
pleased were his hearers with his lee
ture, that he was invited to speak the
following evening at the High School
Auditorium at Stephen. Those who
had the good fortune Of hearing DR..
Olson, hope that he may be permitted
no make another visit here in the near
future. III
Notes Of the Day. :,
TO hear the hearty greetings of old
time friends make us wish that these
reunions would come more often.
The policing of the grounds elimin-
ated great deal Of noise and con-
fusion.
The Red Cross girls did splendid
work in soliciting Red Cross funds.
They deserve a great deal of credit
for their interest.
Now that the 1917 Old Settlers Re.
union is past, let us all begin planning
for bigger and better one for 1918.
Col. f. A. Green, who has served as
president of the Old Settlers Associa.
tion since it's organization, desired to
be relieved of the duties, and Hon
Donald Robertson, of Argyle, was
elected as his successor. Dr. G.. s.
Wattam, Of Warren, was elected as a
smembes Of the board Of directors.
