With Berries The most peculiar harvest in the; history of Morton county is new un- der wa; th farmers for the fi time emulating the “Gleaners,” for many of them, in the areas where the small grain failed to reach its nor- mal height and the crop appearéd to be an utter failure, ‘have found them- selves possessed of fair yields. Charles F. Bllis, Mandan realty dealer who personally ‘thas a large nereage of wheat and flax, following a drive in which he covered over 40u miles in Morton, Grant and Sioux counties, declared: Ithough grain stems in many fields are not over four to seven or eight inches tall, the ‘heads are filled out to the very tip and the berries are filling out in @ way that will make the grain grade No. 1 dark nor- thern, with a high protein content. ‘Will Retarn More Tian Sced “There are some normal fields of grain thet will go 16 to 20 bushels tu the acre. Others look very bad, but all that I inspected on my trip give promise of return of the seed and anywhere from three to 10 bushels per acre over, “Some farmers are using their ha moWers to cut this grain and a few ‘have rigged up baskets like those used on lawn mowers to catch the short ‘headed stuff. The point is,” said Mr. is, “on this alleged short year, the farmers will reap some harvest.” Chicagoans Perform Tribal Dances With Indians at Mandan Members of the Chicago Atheltic club, on the homeward stretch of their 7,000 mile swing about the circuit, danced with the noble red men of the Sioux nation on the depot plat- form ut Mundan recently, But they id not dance to the shaded tones of ball room orchestration, or with mem- bers of their own club. The rhythm of the tom-tom supplied their music and the A. C, members went through the motions of the Indian holiday dance with their red brother: ‘The party had left Chicago June 24 and visited at Banff, Lake Louise, Skagway and other points in Alaska and the Canadian northwest. They came back through Seattle, s and the Yellowstone park. As a special honor C, 0.
