PAGE EIGHT NO SHORTAGE | OF LABOR BUT WAGES HIGH Harvesting ~ Delayed Some Places in the Northwest by Rain, Reports Say The weekly crop review of Van Dusen Harrington Company for the hwest, issued qs of Aug. 15, fol- Harvesting of the small grain crops has not as yet been completed n the Northern and Western parts of North Dakota and Montana, Since our report of © last week, eshing has been somewhat delay- ng to rain. rally no shortage of but wages are high. hreshing returns are received, { nature of the simull-grain evident. In North Dakota | pecially, and also in South Dakota and Minnesota, there are many fields of wheat and rye that are not worth ing. There are other fields in by districts thf have yielded from 5 to 15 bushels per acre. | It is too early to get any accurate dea of the outcome in Montana, but | there ure many good districts as | well as others that are only an aver- age. In some of our previous letters we reported durum as showing less dam- age than the bread wheat. We find that durum has also suffered severe- ly and the outcome will probably be poorer than the early prospects in- dicated. There are fields of durum that will not be cut as they suffered severely from both rust and heat. The average small grain crops inj Minnesota are much better than eith- er South Dakota or North Dakota, int same very good vields f na’ oats and flex have b produced. In Minnesota and Souta Dakota threshing returns have shown oats yielding as low as 3 bushels to the | acre, and as high as 60 bushels. Bar- ley in these two states from 8 to 40 bushels. In North Dakota both bar- | ley and oats have been badiy dam. aged and the barley crop in tnat state is the poorest in years, Corn continues to thrive, although there are occasional fields that ave | been hurt by heat and dry weather. | A n&mber of towns will market corn this year that have-never done so he- fore, owing to the increased acreage in many districts. There are a large number of excellent fields in Norti Dakota, which is unusual for that state, and it is predicted that next season the corn acreage in that state will be greatly increased. Flax reports are coming in Albay as very little threshing has been ac- complished except in Southern Min esota and South Dakota, A number } of returns show flax yielding as high as 15 and 16 bushels per acre, while others are around 8 bushels, In North Dakota, since the recent rains, some fields have become quite weedy. While the crop as a rule will show a heavy dockage, we believe the final outcome will be satisfactory, th ed 0 labor, i As German Prince Sues For Lands Breslau, Aug. 20.—Oels, the former principality which the ex- iled Crown Prince ig attempting to recover from the Pruasian govern- | ment, is a property near this city and consists of about 20,000 acres | of land and two ancient castles. Oels was formerly ruled ag a principality by the Dukes of | Braunschweig and wag for a time under the British. When the last Duke of Braunschweig died in 1884 the principality was given to the crown prince of Prussia. It con- tains the town of Oels, which has| about 10,000 inhabitants, The property was confiscated after the Hohengollerns abdicated and the special commission name to effect a settlement between the | state and the former imperial house worked out a treaty where- by Oels was to go back to the Crown Prince as his personal pro- | perty, But the Prussian diet fail- ed to approve this arrangement, and the Crown Prince has begun action in the courts against the | Prussian state. This action is ap-| parently inspired by renewed at- tempts in the Reichstag to get through legislation ex-propriating all the property which belonged to the Hohengollerng and other prom- inent families.
