MORE GRAIN ON
GOPHER FARMS

Fergus Falls, MINI, March 10
The Minnesota crop report was is-
sued here by Paul II. Kirk, field
agent for Minnesota. In part, it
follows:
AS there has been so much specu-
lation relative to the keeping quality
Of corn on the farms it is interest
Ing to note that the report shows
l9,sO0,0O0 bushels sill on the farms
in Minnesota, March !. 1918, com
pared with 1912, 900 bushels one
year ago and S,016,000 two years ago.
There was a concerted effort
made not only to feed as much soft
corn as possible on account of the
poor keeping quality but to ship
corn to markets where il could be
dried and thus conserved. However.
there was a good deal of corn OF
fair keeping quality in the south
western part of the state. The re-
port for the United States is l.
S2,SOb,00O bushels compared with
1sz, 100000 bushels one year ago and
1,116. $4,000 bushels two years ago.
More Wheat.
The report indicates that there
is a fair amount Of wheat still in
farmers hands in this state. the
amount being estimated at 1872
600 bushels compared with 5.546,000
bushels one year ago and 1884 900
bushels two years ago. This re-
serve is not because farmers are
holding back wheat but in past
years a good deal was stored i'm
country elevators which Is not now
permissible.
While there is still considerable
corn held in farmers hands. the
merchantable quality is low, being
only 81 per cent for Minnesota on
March l, this year compared with 7e
per cent last year and IL per cent
two years ago. The report for the
United States is for March 1 this
year, '60.3 per cent, compared to S3.9
per cent one year ago and iii per
cent two years ago.
For the United States IT is esti-
mated that on March ] this year
here were 111,272,OO0 bushels Of
wheat still on the farms, compared
with 100, $50, 900 bushels one year
ago and 244,44s,0o0 bushels two
years ago.
Oats Are Retained.
With the poor keeping quality of
corn in this state, oats are being re.
tanned for spring feeding even in
the face OF high prices. For Min
nesota the amount Is estimat-
ed to be 44,492, 900 bushels this year
as compared to 26,196,0 900 bushels
last year and $685., 900 bushels two
years ego. For the United States i'll
is estimated there are sos, 'N5, 600
bushels this year compared with
394, iii 900 bushels last year and
S.14s,0 900 bushels two years ago.
High prices have induced farm
ers to market barley but indica-
tions are that they are not abnorm-
ally greater than in ordinary years.

tions and point out who and what
those leaders are in order that the
public might decide intelltgently
with full knowledge Of the ques-
lions, and might not follow such
leadership blindly; and
Whereas, those leaders have
shown a disposition hostile to such
fair discussion, and have sought 70
distract the attention OF their fol-
lowers from the real matters at Is
sue by personal abuse directed at
those editors; and
whereas, such leaders have
sought to silence such editors; and
by appeal to class prejudice; and
whereas, such tactics are foreign
TO the spirit OF American institu-
tions, and tend to subYert free gov
ernments:
Now, therefore, be 1t hereby re-
solved, by us as free American
citizens, Of all classes, in open pub
lie meeting assembled In the city OF
Crosby on this 9th day Of March,
1918;
First: That we. the public, are
entitled to a fair and open discus
sion of questions Of public I'M
pOIIduGGs
Second: that editors who seek
fairly to discuss such questions are
public benefactors, and deserve
commentator rather than condem-
nation;
Third: that we believe that the
discussions of such questions when
have recently appeared in the
columns of The Divide County
Journal have been dignitied and fair,
and not such as to deserve abuse;
Fourth: that leaders whose
schemes will not bear such public
discussion, and who seek to silence
it by such tactics hereinbefore set
forth are unsafe leaders; and such
leaders have no right to ask the un.
support of any class OIL
free American citizens

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color ana
Iustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
Dhur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft Nbrush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
pIication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy ana
YOU look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.
