 Wilkins replied to him and asked that he send slowly Soon after Will kins began to send again when his engine stopped and everything was of for the remainder of the night.
 Before the engine went down Will kins called ntNnber of stations but it was evdent the Seward station was the only one hearing him.
 The reception from Wilkins was considerably stronger than on nre- vious nights. Gle either had Eileson CT the crank or had been eating wild walrus.) At one time Wilkins sending sounded as if he was up in his llana.

NOT A BUMPER CROP
(Valley CITY Times- Record. \

Bank Of North Dakota field agents are circulating
reports in the papers to the effect that North Dakota
is going to harvest bumper CROP This is absolutely
erroneous North Dakota is not going to harvest
bumper crop and there is sense in these men send
ing out any such report The fact Of the matter is
that the state will harvest fair cropand that is ALL
The severe dry weather of May cut down any posi-
bilty OF bumper crop. In June and from then on
the state has been abundanty supplied with moisture
and crops recovered rapidly and there spots in the
state that will have big crops and in spots the crop
will be medium and in some places light.
AS whole North Dakota will have what might be
termed fair but the prices of grain keep going
down there will not be much money made on farming
this Feed crops have recuperated in great shape
since the rains and the evidence is that farmers will
have plenty OF feed We for any per-
son to send out the report that have bumper CROP
There is nothing to that. What will have if things
break all right from this time until harvest is concluded
will be very average crop.
North Dakota a whole is looking fine at this time
There has been great increase in dairying and sheep
raising in the state which adds to its prosperity. Al
and sweet clover have increased very largely
and these will help solve the feed question There are
few spots in the country that show better
age than North Dakota but when you get down to call
ing it bumper crop you are COINS. altogether too
strong, and that statement will be confirmed after the
threshing machines get into action.
