w, rV s» i Ml %, i Over $225,0^0 per day are pouring Into the banks of Fargo, as a result of grain drafts, and It Is a question whether ever before there was so much money coming into the city in such a short time. One bank alone yesterday received no less than $125,000 and the other banks made up quota that ran over f'JOO.OOO for the day while the returns for today will even *o ahead of that figure. This money eomes from the grain dealer* and is what the farm* tri are being jaid for their crops. From all sect inns of the state come reports to the effect that the farmers are threshing and that nowhere has the crop been heavily damaged. It is stated that the men are coming In from the east and south and that threshers, while not numerous, are sufficient almost to man the machines tn a way. At any rate the reports are that there are very few, if any, machines chut down because of the scarcity of labor, The threshing is about all done on the Southwestern line, and on the new Fargo-Surrey line they nre at it from daylight until late at night, and thousands and thousands of bushels of high class grain are lining turned out. The money will continue to pour into the Fargo banks for sever al weeks and the threshing has just about really started right. One of the bankers, in speaking to The Forum In regard to the matter, said: "You tan say that we are taking in among the banks of the rttv nbout $225,000 per day and this sum is likely to prevail for some time. From what w»« can hear over the state the yteld is all right and there are very few reports of anything like a great amount of damage having been done to the crops by reason of the wet weather."
