SOAKING RAINS HELP
Big HARVEST OUTLOOK
Entire Section Receives Good
Drenching. All Crops in
Good Condition.

All conditions at the present time
point to a record breaking harvest in
this section of the state this year.
Sunday afternoon a heavy rain set in
which continued until yesterday morn
ing and the entire northeastern por-
tion of the state received a most
thorough soaking.
Much of the ground has already
been seeded and within the next ten
days the wheat crop will be practic-
ally all seeded in this section. Speak
ing of the crop outlook for the state
this year, Mr.. ]. T. McGaughery of the
Great Northern railway said:
"During the trips l have made about
the state of late. I have found the
winter wheat in the best of condition.
There have been some rumors to the
contrary which have come to my hear
ing, but l know they are misleading.
"Not only is the winter wheat in
excellent shape, but large acreage
of the ground is now ready for spring
planting. Even more important is the
fact that some planting is already
started. From what have seen of
the agricultural sections of the state, l
feel certain that the crop this year
will be an exceptional one. 1t is CHEEKY
anticipation in the face of the great
need for such products at this time."

SEED WHEAT FURNISHED
FARMERS TO PLANT
For Benefit of the Red Cross, by
W0men's Patriotic Assn.
Crosses to Mark Ground.

The Women's Patriotic association
held meeting in the chamber of COM
merce rooms on Saturday evening, and
accepted the reports of the different
committees appointed to arrange for
the war gardens and wheat lands for
the organization.
At this meeting it was decided to
adopt a plan worked extensively in
other states whereby farmers culti-
vate and plant one acre or more of
land for the benefit of the Red Cross.
This plan will be adopted, but instead
of the farmers being asked to provide
their own seed, the association will
furnish first class seed wheat. In this
way they hope to be able to get in
about fifty acres of wheat. Crosses
will be provided with which to mark
off the land dedicated to the cause.

S1ERNHACEN GOES TO BRITISH FRONT
Interesting Letter from Captain
Sternhagen Says That Americans
Must Stamp Out German
Pr0pagandists.

The news that the original Com
pany "G'' boys who left here about
one year ago, have been in the
trenches and out again, was received
at Glasgow this week in letter from
Captain j. P. Sternhagen to Leo B.
Coleman. Captain Sternhagen's letter
is a most interesting one and we re-
produce it here:
Somewhere in France,
Dear Friend Leo: March 10
Received your box of cigars through
Larry the other day and they certainly
came in fine as | had got down to
smoking almost any kind of cigar
cites, and that's going some for me.
l thank you very much for them.
l am attending school at present
and will be through this week, and
from here am going to be sent to visit
the British fronts, l suppose you
know by this time that the original
bunch had, have been in the trenches
and out again, and the second bunch
also. Larry is here also and all get
ting along fine.
The weather the last ten days has
sure been fine and everything is about
to start to get green.
see that DR.. Hoyt has been COM
missioned and assigned.
l have two brothers over here but to
date have not seen them. They came
over right after l did.
l was left behind in England a while
with the mumps, that's quite joke
for an old skate like me to get the
mumps, but anyhow l was glad that
l got them, as it gave me chance to
see London and | sure saw a lot of
things worth while.
see that things have not frightened
up enough yet on German propaganda
at home, and must say this, that the
longer they let it go, that much longer
the war will last and that MANY more
men will be lost. You can be assured
that if the Germans could spring any-
thing that would exterminate the
allies, they would certainly spring it.
They are working propaganda and
politics in every country in the world,
and the sooner this is headed off the
better for all, but they have got it
organized to such an extent that it
will be some job, but it must be done
and done right.
Well | see by The Courier that some
of the old bunch keep a going off and
getting into the mill.
Fat Wright and Pat Mullis were
transferred to the engineers, while we
were in the states and a couple of
weeks ago l was on a train and who
should | meet but Fat. was sur
prised to run across him and we had
quite visit.
l have seen several places here of
great interest, and some parts of the
country | like very much, and it
must be beautiful in some of these
places in the summer time.
Well will close for this time and
let you hear from me again later. Give
my regards to the bunch. Again
thanking you for the cigars l am

getting people to save wheat by eat

tion: Wheat is by far the most vital
food commodity of the war and the
food that may in the end spell victory
for the allies. There is still great
need for the saving of meat, fats and
sugar, but the need of saving wheat
is greater than all the other needs
