PAGE EIGHT GRAIN EXODUS YET 10 START Bulk of Crop Shipments Waits Threshing Close Despite Combines harvest of grain is be- general in North Dakota, shipping has not yet started on an extensive basis, W. D. Boyce, dis- trict superintendent of the Soo Line railroad, said today. . Grain shipments made so far this season are those in the districts where combines are used in harvest- ing, he said. Shipments of grain have been made from the territory between Bismarck and Hankinson, where combines are in use. Ship- ments from that section are com- posed mostly of barley and rye, with only a little wheat. Boyce explained that as yet most farmers in this state are doing their harvesting by the binder method, and, although the cutting is general throughout the state, threshing will not start for two or three weeks. He expects shipping to begin yen- erally about August 25. je rush, which is expected to strain. transportation facilities to their utmost, is expected by mem- of the state railroad board to start within 10 days. Practically all of the grain in the southeastern Part of the state has been cut, ac- cording to information received by board members. Harvest in the southwestern section is 95 per cent complete. reshing rigs are going to work now, and the movement of grain to markets will be in full swing within weeks in that section. In the northern part of the state the rush will come a little later. Moisture tests of grain harvested by combines show that considerable grain contains excess moisture this season, Commissioner Ben Larkin said. Moisture tests are made by the department here free of charge. For this test to be of full benefit to them, farmers should remember to ‘send samples in moisture-proof containers, Larkin said. This will prevent drying of the grain while en UPHAM HILLS YIELD RELICS Arrowheads, Knives Weapons in Abundance Found by Collector Although lieved to be Upham, N.
