GOLDEN VALLEY
WOOL CLIP TO
REACH $4,000
Increase in Sheep Industry in
Western Part of the State
Is Shown

Beech, N. D., July 28.--Not only is
the large shipments of cream from
Golden Valley county evidence of the
splendid advancement this section of
the state is making in diversified
farming. but the shipment of con-
siderable more than a, carload of
wool from Beach last Friday cites
another branch of diversification that
is growing in Importance.
Almost the entire clip was pur-
chased by S. SHERMAN & Son of
Chicago, who sent J. G. Guthrie here
as their special agent, who was aided
in rounding up the product by A. L.
Martin, of Sentinel Butte. The price
paid for the greater portion of the
wool was &c cents per pound, but
some of the larger shippers did not
sell but sent their clip. in on con-
Segment. The estimated value of
the Friday shipment is in excess of
$4,000, while including shipments
that had been made by local freight
will bring the 1924 clip for Golden
Valley county well above $4,000
Considerable favorable, comment has
been made during the past year by
farmers on the sheep industry and it
is not at all improbable that in
another year the amount of wool
shipped from this county will be
doubled. ~
And this shipment of wool is only
one item of income from the sheep
business. Doubtless this fall will see
the shipment Of several cars Of sheer
to market, the returns from which
will be no small item, besides very
probable substantial increase in pre-
sent flocks. Also there is very
valuable side revenue from this in
dustry in the fertility that restored
to the land, the increased grain yield
following the pasturing Of sheep and
the cleanliness of the pastured lsad
from foul weeds.
Among those who were growers OF
the wool shipment Of last Friday are

Hazelton stores.
1t is planned to have the judging
precede the North Dakota Corn Show
at Bismarck, so that samples may
be entered here, and the Bismarck
show is expected to precede the ma:
tional show.
Mr.. Bird talked to the farmers on
selecting seed corn and MIR. Kitchen
on agriculture in general.
The room in which the meeting was
held was decorated in corn. Most Of
the corn used was tasseled ont, and
some was in ne silk. This corn,
according to Mr.. Larson, was about
the fartherest advanced of any he
had seen. Crops in the Haze,ton
area are exceptionally good.
Local cream buyers in Hazelton re-
ported that between $4,000 and $4,000
worth Of cream would be marketed
in Hazelton this month.

Custom has imposed upon brides in
Assam a considerable amount of tr0u-
BILE before their prospective husbands
are safely tied up. On her wedding
day the bride is garishly attired in
gown flashing with brilliants, and with
a band of jewels holding up her veil.
She goes to the house of the bride
groOm-to-be. The door Is open. The
bride and her attendants rush In and
search the house. The search con-
tinues until the bride discovers the
seemingly reluctant bridegroom. When
found he resists vigorously before the
bride finally Overcomes him and car
rIes him Off In triumph. The growing
of tea is the sole occupation of Assam,
and 1t is after the hustle and hustle
