Specials to The Journal.
Fargo, April 23The spring seed
ing in North Dakota is late, but the
past week has been ideally favorable in
ill parts of the state Work the ter
ritory along the Red nver valley has
Scarcely been started, but it will be
In progress this week. On many fields
the crop of last year was uncut and
the lands were not plowed last fall be
sause of the moistuie, and the covering
of heavy straw prevents the soil from
drying as rapidly as it would, and work
IR flPi3.V6CI
Seeding is being huriied rapidly
wherever the soil will permit, and the
farmers are fairly well satisfied with
the results In the Red river valle
the greater the delay caused by weather
conditions the greatei increase there
will be in corn, bailey and oats.
The wheat acreage of the entue state
is expected to shov* an increase of
from 10 to 15 per cent, but the most
notable increase will be in durum In
the central and eastern pait of the
state it is rapidly succeeding the fife
and bluestem, because of its increased
yield and rust resistant qualities, an 1
the acreage of +hat breed will be fully
25 per cent more than a year ago.
Halstad, April 23Spring is back
ward in Norman county, owing to the
recent snowstorm Spring work has
commenced only on the highest and
driest spots Here is much plowing to
be done, and not many farmers will put
full crop Theie will be more corn
and oats and macaroni wheat.
Wahpeton, April 23 Farmers in
Richland countv aie rapidly turning to
corn raising and stock, hogs, etc There
will be a large acreage of timothy,
plover, millet, etc planted Rust in
wheat the past two years has discoui
aged farmers fiom planting hard wheat.
This accounts for incieased acreage of
macaroni and of corn and grasses
There will be 50 pei cent more maca
rom wheat, and less haid spring wheat
BreckenridgeThe wheat acreage
Wilkin county will be smaller than
1905, because the wet weather of last
season prevented the plowing of a
great deal of ground There will be
more macaroni wheat seeded, also more
oats and barley and less flax There
has been too much ram, and some sec
tions of the county are flooded, and it
is doubtful if, even with good weathei,
the fields will dry in time to plant the
crop The general opinion is that if
we have good weather from this time
on, conditions this section of the
Red river valley will be fair.
The giound has been -very wet here
all the spring and the farmers are be
hind with their work The outlook now
is that- seeding will not be :finished
much before the 15th of May There
is a little wheat Seeded early, that is
up'and looks well.
StephepWork will begin today,
which will be two weeks later than
last year. The wheat acieage will be
very much less There will be more
macaroni seeded There will be a
gieatly increased acreage of barley and
probably flax this year, but about the
same of oats and rye. The land is
very wet, in fact, more so than it has
been for many years
Crookstcm, April 23Seeding this
spring is slightly more backward than
last year. Up to date there has been
very little done in this vicinity, tho
western Polk and in a portion of Mar
shall and Kittson counties there has
been considerable seed sown Work
Will be geneial this next week.
The wheit acreage will be 25 per
cent less- than last year, and the maca-,
rom acreage will be double what it
ever was before. The acreage of oats
and barley will be about the same as
last yeai and the flax acreage will be
.about 25 per cent more with rye about
the same as a year ago There has
jbeen more lain than required, the last
fall having delayed seeding for ten
days. If the present favorable weather
continues the general outlook is very
favorable, tho the fotal acreage will be
at least 10 per cent less than usual be
cause of the small acreage plowed. To
counterbalance this however, the acre
iage of glasses sown will be double what
Jit ever was before A vast amount
of timolhv is being sown this spring,
land the sale of clover seed in this sec
tion is three times greater than it ever
was before
Browns Vallev, April 23Seeding
lin Traverse county is ten to twelve
idavs late. The wheat acreage Is about
ithe same There will be more macaro
!ni, oats, barley and rye, less flax. Too
jmuch rain, soil too wet and cold. Sea
son backward.
Ortonville, April 22 Seeding in this
section of Big Stone country is very
imuch later than last year While a
Ifew farmers on the lighter soil have
Iconsiderable seeding done, generally
they have "just commenced, and some
(have not yet started. Last year many
commenced seeding about March 27,
land seeding was all done by this time.
The delay was occasioned by the cold,
wet March weather
The wheat acreage will be materially
'less this year than last. Corn will be
planted instead
There will be a much larger percent
age of macaroni wheat sown this year
^than last, probablv ten oushels this
yea^ where one was sown last.
The acreage of oats and barley will
be about the same as last year and
there will be less flax and rye

ual decrease $n yield and degeneration
in grade of wheat from twenty-five
years of wheat cropping, has made this
change absolutely necessary, and ,it is
being brought about as fast as possible.
Many farmers "will not sow this year to

Special to The Journal.
Fort Frances, Ont., April 23.Presi-
dent W. H. Cook of the Duluth, Eainy
Lake & Winnipeg railway has been
here for foui days looking after the

sawmill at Fort Frances.
ADVERTISES NEW TRAIN
Great Northern Road Issues Attractive
Folder.
New advertising matter concerning
the Oriental limited has been issued in
Minneapolis by the passenger depart
ment of the Great Northern road. The
latest publicity device is elaborate in
its execution, is well designed and is
punted in attractive^ colors. The cir
cular is a sixteen page pamphlet that
folds into small space. When opened it
shows a view of the entire tram, con
sisting of locomotive and five cars, a
diagram of each car and tinted photo
graphs of cross sections of each of the
passenger coaches. The steamer Min
nesota is included as a type of the
Great Northern Steamship company's
tianspoitation facilities on the Pa
cific ocean. The coloring of the ini
tial front and back pages of the folded
circular is striking. A new trademark
expression the road in the pamphlet is:

SOO CUTS THE RATE
Alleged Secret Tariff Spurs Minneapolis
Line to Action.
The Soo line has stirred up transpor
tation circles by tne announcement to
day of an $18 second class rate to New
York. General Passenger Agent W. R.
Callaway made this move, he says, to
get into competition with secret cut
ting. He has put in the rate until
June 30. Albany, New York, Boston,
Montreal, and other eastern points, are
covered by the rate. It will apply, also,
to all intermediate points where the
regular second-class rates are higher.
The anntfal exodus of Scandinavians
to the home land cuts a considerable
figure in east bound rail and steamship
rates This year the clowning of King
Haakon, set for June 22, will result
an unusual rush of Norwegians to the
old country. Competition for this busi
ness was naturally strong between the
railroads, and the secret competition
which has aroused the Soo line is sup
posed to have arisen in connection with
this travel.
'SEE AMERICA FIRST'
Soo Line Encourages Travel to Cana
dian Rockies.
"Europe if you will, but America
first," is the key phrase of the latest
Soo line book, just from the office of
General Passenger Agent W. R. Calla
way. It is the most elaborate and the
most finely executed of the Soo series,
and treats of the Soo line inclusive tick
et tours, to be given this year over the
Soo Pacific system to the Canadian
rockies.
The series of pictures in the book
make it an article of value, aside from
the information which it contains. Pho
tographs illustrating every phase of the
Canadian mountain region are repro
duced.
The inclusive ticket will sell for $150
and will include the following: Rail
way ticket to Glacier and return, sleep
ing car ticket, meals en route on dining
cars, meals and lodgings at hotels, bus
between stations and hotels, carriage
dri-^e at Banff, ponies and boats at
Laggan, carriage from Field to Emerald
lake and return, ponies and boats at the
lake, services of Swiss guide at Glacier.

BALTIMORE GIRLS, IN
FEAR VITRIOL THM
Baltimore, April 23.The police are
making a diligent search for a man who
is reported as having thrown vitriol
upon young girls. Up to Friday, four-^
teen complaints had been made against
him. Yesterday he added njne more, to
the number of his little victims.
The man works chiefly in the poorer
districts and in nearly every case re
ported, the vitriol has been thrown on
the skirts or stockings of girls of 14
years of age or less The action of
the chemical is slow enough to permit
the man to escape before the effects are
felt, and the police have little in the
way of description to aid them.
