have opened here today, has been
postponed indefinitely on account of

NEED
CL]|EARWEATHER
Threshing Has Been Very
Much Delayed on Ac-
count of Rains.

Minneapolis, Aug. 22.-Thts week
finds harvesting practically com-
pleted throughout the northwest with
the exception Of the territory west OF
the Red River valley. T%hreshing,
however, has been very much de-
layed on account Of excessive rains,
which have been general.
Had the weather been fair during
the last week we would now be in
the midst of our, big early movement
of shocked-threshed grain. AS it is.
t%hreshing has only been in isolated
spots and a good deal of the grain
that has been .threshed should not
have been. The early threshed grain
that has found it's way to the market
has onfthe whole been Of very good
quality. There is more or less smut
in the wheat, and barley and oats
will undoubtedly be stained from the
rains, but all Of these grains have
pretty good weight and are yielding
per acre better than had been antici-
|pated.
The country is in need Of warm,
grain that has already been cut and
which must dry II we are not going
to have real damage done to it, but
on account of the corn which needs
to be brought to maturity. Continued
rains would considerable dam
age to the quality of small grains and
would permit corn to grow to a point
where there would be danger from
frost.
Flowing has been temporarily de-
layed by the wet weather. This
would be resumed with great yigor
should we have fair weather.

Devils Lake. N. D.. Aug. 22.-since
the heavy rain Monday evening the
grain In this vicinity has all ipened
at once and the situation at present
Is very critical. Help is scarce but
the problem is being solved by the

are doing great work for the farmer.
A lot of grain was down through the
rain and this is being shocked up so
that it will not commence to grow.
The Boy scopts. are u every evening
and have shocked up hundreds Of
acres. At a meeting Tuesday night
it was arranged that last night a
special effort would be made to clean
up all the unshocked grain in the vi
entity. About one hundred volun-
teers left the city in machines at
$3.50 and put in the evening in the
harvest fields. This will be the pro-
gram from now until such time as
all the grain is in shock. With good
weather for the balance of the week

STATE MAY HAVE
FEDERALC GRAIN
SUPERVISION
Change Will do Away with
Much Complaint on
Grain Grades.

Fargo. N. D., Aug. 22.-The d.
vorcement of North Dakota from the
southern Minnesota federal grain in
spection department, the headquarters
Of which are at Minneapolis, and the
establishment Of a North Dakota de-
partment, with a federal grain inspec-
tor at Fargo, is probable as q result
Of the Joint conference Of representa-
tives Of the federal bureau of mar
kets, Washington, d. c., members of
the state railway and warehouse com
mission and state elevator managers
at the North Dakota agricultural col
lege Tuesday afternoon.
The change, 1t. was said at b con-
ference, will do away with much OF
the complaint on grain grades. and
will mean better grades for North Da-
kota farmers and grain dealers.
The railway commission has taken
the matter under advisement, and has
the assurance that the bureau of mar
kets Of the, department Of agriculture
will cooperate in every possible man
ner. The change is one that must be
made by congress-.
Cooperation is Offered.
1.-The bureau of markets will coop
crate with FOUR railway commission,
and will meet with it at any place
and at any time that it decides for the
establishment of a North Dakota, de-
partment of federal Inspection" said
G. l.. Livingstone, chairman of the
Washington committee. 1T is import
ant that every state have a good. In
spection department and we would
like to see an inspection department
in North Dakota that would be q
model for the country"
Minnesota Grading Unfair.
That grading by Minnesota state
inspectors at the Minneapolis ter
minal was unfair to the North Dakota
shipper, and that their grades were
always upheld upon appeal to the
Minnesota grade appeal board. occa-
sioning a loss when the grain had
been bought for a higher grade, was
the substance of complaints made by
elevator managers
who is to stand the loss?" inquir-
ed c. B. Prichard. Grandin.
1.-THE time will come" said j. A
McGovern. chief grain inspector fol
North Dakota, when the elevator
manager will fix the grades to his own
grain. The grain buyer in North Da'
kota is more competent to do this
than any other living man,"
The matter, of making appeals tc
the federal inspector in Minneapolis
was discussed briefly, 1t being pointed
out that appeals on grades should be
taken direct to him within 4S hours
after the grain has been inspected.
No Action on Report.
Nc direct action was taken on the
report and recommendations, framed
by a committee named by the ele.
vator managers at a meeting Tuesday
morning, though a number of the
points Of difference were discussed.
