The man who cannot wait till he can accurately measure his resources is liable to financial takes, while the man who makes himself sure he can pay for what be Is not apt to run himself into financial straits. So in many cases, the only differonce between the successful and the unsuccessful farmer is the difference in their foresight. Yet many men are forced into ruin by ity. Men may be equally Industrious yet not equally successful, from the view of accumulation, and it is cause one is satisfied with less for The Lobster and the Ctny.

The right time to summer fallow is when the weeds are going to seed and the stock juicy so that when turned under the stock will soon rot, but a better plan still is plow, drag well and sow it to corn for fodder. Figure out what your cow has duced since you turned her out to pasture, add the amount to what she produced while you fed her deduct the value of the food she consumed while you fed her, in order to determin whether she is a paying sition. If she is not, there is thing wrong with her, because a good cow is the best paying property on the farm.

A visit to the leading employment agencies of the state, and inquiries made there about the movements of the men who ly help handle the western wheat crop brings out the fact that a large part of the floating labor upon which I the Dakota farmer depends is ployed in construction- work by the 'railways of the west. Another large contingent of this force has gone to see the exposition at Seattle. The number of men In sight and available for the wheat fields will not be greater this year than in former years.

'ever. Thousands Will Be Needed Chances Are That Laborers Will Be Scarce When Harvest Advised to Secure Their Help Get Crop Out of Way For Fall Plowing. N. D. A.

C. News Service. Hugh J. Hughes, Reporter. This year North Dakota will ably harvest the largest crop in its history.

Thousands acres of new land have been broken up and a son on the whole favorable to seeding has given us a more than ordinary acreage on the old lands. Copious rains and first class weather tions have followed tbruout the state, with the result that there is now sured a very heavy crop of straw, and with good filling weather during the next twenty days there will be harvested an unusually heavy crop of grain. after a four Months eouthwast, retnnwd home Monday. Earl saw some interesting and had a toe tlme J9t to and hold it thru the entire season. The Agricultural College that as far as possible farmers ing friends farther east write these friends and Becure men for harvest time thru them and that hoods take up the matter at the liest possible moment, reporting their wints to the state press, and to the labor bureaus of eastern states, as well as.

to the employment offices in the state. It is sometimes possible for bors to change works, and so cut down the number of men needed for harvest. This should be done wherever it will work. Every effort should be made to put the machinery In the best of repair, in order that there may be minimum of lost time in the field. In every way possible reduce the length of the harvest season, without unduiy lengthening the working day.

It is essential to the Interests of the state at laTge that steps bo en at once to secure a sufficient ber of men to care for the crop now ripening. Secure your own help at once. Avoid extremely high wages. Wherever possible hire men you know. No not wait! Delay in ing your wants known will result in certain and heavy loss to the state.

If you wait until the harvest is here you will pay exborbitant wages, and there is something more than a chance that you may be forced to SO short handed. LeSueur Heads the Commission Kelley and Emerson Commissioners For Four Years-Spath and Vandenoever Two Year Defeats Opposition fer Lynch. The election for commissioners of the city of Minot held last Monday was quite spirited and resulted in the election of Arthur LeSueur, a inent attorney, over Martin Jacobson, another public spirited man, 461 to 420. elected commissioners for a period of two years. Thus all of the sioners elected were aldermen of the city up until the time that they were lected on th commission.

Wo. Murray, who has been police magistrate for nearly twenty yean, defeated C. B. Bach. John Lynch who had no oppositino, was elected justice of the peace, which office he has held for a ber of years in a very satisfactory manner.

It was a case where about seventy-five hearts beat as one, and Great Rain Fell That was a million dollar rain that fell Tuesday night and over the state. The rain started ing gently about midnight Tuesday night, and continues falling slowly all night. By morning the ground was quite wet, and the needed ers continued to fall all day long. It was a genuine soaker and many lieve that not another drop of rain is needed to make a big crop. Of course, another rain in a week or ten days would not come amiss, and the chances are that it will come when needed.

We have been getting rains just at the right time all summer leng, and the crops never looked ter. There is an occasional farmer who grumbles, but this is true with every Some are never satisfied. But as a rule, you will see a smile on the farmer's face as you ask him how his crop is, for he has every son to feel well. The rain was not as heavy in some localities as this one, it being quite light at Burlington and on North Prairie. Crops are not fering there however.

Murphy Case Dropped The famous Murphy case has been dropped. Our readers are familiar with this case, Major J. S. Murphy having been charged with forgery the third degree. In his first trial, which took place more than four years ago, the jury disagreed, in the second trial, the defendant was found guilty, but the Supreme court ordered a new trial, one of the nmin arguments being used' before the court being that judge Pollock before whom the case was tried, had entered the jury box, and talked to the jurors.

The case was to have been tried a third time before Judge Templeton, who dismissed the defendant without trial. Murphy had demanded a re-trial at once. The case came about thru the ling of road receipts. Freedom Sews C. M.
