On driving up the grade which leads to the top of this eleva- tion one would little suspect that on top could be seen such beautiful farms as are there. The land is perfectly level and from the south where the road leads up nearly every house can be seen. ' The crops are a revelation. With- out a doubt some of the best looking fields in this vicinity are to be seen here. As a rule there is very little poor farming and at this time next year there will be none. Most of this land has been plowed deep and what was plowed shallow will be worked thoroughly next year. The farmers on the bench are en- ergetic and progressive. A an evidence of this, we noticed a field of winter wheat which is already up and has started to stool. Nearly every farmet. has a large Minion of his holdings broken up and intends that it shah be only a short - time until the balance shall give way to the plow. There are fields of wheat that will average 30 to 40 bushels and oats that will run proportionately high. The flax on one farm is the best the writer ever saw and almost any kind of a yield could be predicted. It stands thick and is well headed. We under- stand the ground on which it is grow- ing was plowed six inches deep. We were told of another field which was nearly as good as this. It would seem almost impossible to grow such crops on the benches of this vicinity, bin the secret ot it is that these farmers are all agreed that the only successful way to farm is the right way—plowing the (Continued on page 4) Big Dance to Close Contest Saturday Night, August 7th, II 'Ill See the Prizes Awarded.—Big Time Looked For Miss Mae Todd 169,100 Mrs. Kebel Murphy _ _ _ 163,675 Mrs. E.

NIL Remington . has prepared a plan of construction for the Cascade county hooch which IS 611 feet long and 12 feet deep. It is the booth at the north- west corner of the- lower Boor of the el main exhibit hall. which this county has occupied since the state fair was inaueurated. Mr. Remington has planned a novel and at front por- tal for the booth. It consists of five Us zantine arches, each leading to the interior of a section of the dispia . .. Thus there ts ill be live sectional dis- plays in the aggregate exhibit, each display about 12 feet wide. N1r. Rentineton's plan Ii is been sub- mitted to the board of dire tors of the fair association for approval.

Shaw l'he winter wheat crop of 1913 in the two Dakotas and NIontana will he largely dependent on the way that it is sown the coming reason. In the Da- kotas it can not be giown exactly along the same lines as in 'Montana. The discussion, therefore. will dwell first on grossing this crop in the Dakotas and then in Montana. In North Dakota and in the eastern Ii alf at least of South Dakota, the win- ter wheat crop is not a sure crop un- less it is pros tried with protection. By ' protection is meant such protection as grain stubble or corn stalks will bring to the growing crop. This fact should be recognized by all who attempt to grow winter wheat in the area named. In the said area winter wheat is almosi certain to fail even though sown on summer fallowed land. It will cer- tainly fail on stubble land plowed after harvest. The only salvation for it under such conditions lies in snow covering it all the winter, an masurrance that comes very seldom. It is just about as certain that win- ter wheat will succeed in the portions , of Dakota named if the wheat is sown , earls- enough and is given sufficient „ protection. It may be sown amid the smithies of gr:on. It is better not even ! to disc the stubl ule , . for that may and still so far destroy the protection. The' talky - the smithies are the more perfect the protection. This shinild be borne in mind when rutting a grain crop thai is to be sown to winter wheat. Stub - Ides that are clean are greatly to bel (('onti:incd on page 4) William H. Alexander Aged Resident of Haynes, N.
