D., Aug. 9.—Binders are busy everywhere in the grain fields of North Dakota, and a few farmers are already threshing, according to crop reports: from 22 county exten- sion agents reccived at the bffice of the North Dakota Extension division. Harvesting’ of Wil small grains ex- cept flax is practically finished in the southeastern part of the state and is just well-started in the northwestern part of the state. Reports of heavy rust damage con- tinue to-come in from districts pre- viously’ reported to have good crop prospects, and individual county es- timates of average wheat yields range from 6 to 12 bushels per acre.

Potatoes are very snotted. with thin fields in wood condition the general rule. Rain is needed for notatoes in the north- ern part of the state. Weeds are taking a heavy toll in the flax fields. Tn a few localities entting of early flax has started. and most of the cron has starteg to turn. Further deereases in the prospects for the North Dakota wheat crop are indicated hv the estimated nroduc- tion of 65.424,000 bushels for all wheat in this state on Aug. 1, ac- cording to the bureau of crop esti- mates. The. July estimate placed the cron at slichtly more than 71.000.000 bushels. The pverage wheet yield for the state on the basis.of the Aug. 1 crop estimate and the June 1 aete- age estimate would be between 8 and 9 bushels. Threshing of rye has started, and vields renorted range from 1 to 15 Kushel: per acre. A considerable acreare of rye was abandoned. and renorts indicate that a mategial part of the wheat crop will not, be thresh- ed, due to low market prices and low production. No rerorts have been reccived of labor shortage in anv part of the state.

The farmers with: whom he talked were amazed when they learned of the fine corn crops of western North Dakota, he said. They had heard that good corn could be raised here and were anxious to learn about it. Corn is their gnain dependence there, and the land ¥ells from $250 to $300 an acre. Their corn crop is hardly better than that of the Missouri Slope, year in and year out, and they think the land up here ought to be worth a lot more money, he said. Oats and barley was being thresh- ed in southern Wisconsin, with yields running from 25 to 30°bushels ‘an acre, Their pasture is dried up. They raised practically no wheat, having abandoned wheat raising long ago, Mr. Barnes said, They do have a fine corn crop and expect to pros- per by it. “Corn is the only thing that pulls them out,” said Mr. Barnes. “They have plenty of feed to fatten their jeattle this winter and for their dairy cattle. They point out the way for us—to raise more corn and fatten our own cattle instead of sending in feeder stock for them to take to their farms to fatten.” VALLEY CITY - DEATH HEARING IS DELAYED Valley City, N, D., Aug. 9.—The preliminary hearing of Matvin, ownhart, Oscar Olsby ‘and Ralph leckman, charged with second degree ‘murder in connegtion with the death of Elfreda Anderson, 18, Sunday aft- ernoon .may be delayed.
