TWO w-' CHICK SEASON DOESN'T OPEN TILLSEPT. 16 Hunters Mistaken in Belief that They Can Take to Fields Tomorrow WOULD BAN ALL HUNTING Farmers Want Wild Biddies Pro tected So They Can Eat Up Hoppers North Dakota hunters laboring un der the mistaken impression that the federal game laws on prairie chicken and ducks have been eased up and that the season begins September 1, are urged by the state gsme depart ment to watch their step, for no change has been made in the game regulations, and the season does not open until September 16, as hereto fore. The impression has become general for some reason 'that as a means of relieving the shortage of meat foods the season has been ad anced half a month. This, states a local game warden, is not the' fact, and he assures prospective bird hunt ers that if they venture forth before September 1G they will be violating the law and liable t» arrest and prose cution. Many hunters, it is staled, had planned to take the field with tehir dogs tomorrow. If farmers of central North Dako ta and the Slope had their way, there would be no slaughter of prairie chickens this year. A state official who did some harvesting in the vicin ity of Kulm. and who is familiar with conditions in Emmons county, says that the farmers in these districts are banding together with a view to pro tecting the prairie chicken as one of the most efficient exterminators of ferasshoppers. "One has no idea of the extent to which grasshoppers have damaged the crops this year until he goes into the harvest fields," said this official today. "Every night we shoveled a bushel or mora of grass hoppers out of our header \toxes. The prairie chickens have a Cecided fond ness for these pests, and the farmers believe that if tliey are not molested they will do a great deal to prevent grasshoppers surviving the fall to rear a bigger family next year." In manj sections, farmers are post ing notices forbidding all hunting, and petitions are being circulated asking that whole townships join in protect ing the chicks. Prairie chickens are unusually numerous this year, and a general ban on lyinting them will be a disappointment to the hunter, but the farmers who have taken the initia tive contend that wheat is more essen tial than good shooting, and that un less something is done Ao check the spread of the hoppers they will be come a real menace next yeSr. THRESHINGAND HARVESTING IN PROGRESSAGAIN Cars of Wheat Marketed Early Have Lost Through Moisture Content The weather conditions have so im proved the past few days that thresh ing and harvesting have again started. The heavy winds and rains of last week probsUjly did considerable dam age to grain in the shock. In various sections of the northwest grain which had been cut was scattered about the fields and thoroughly soaked. Cars of wheat which had been threshed too soon after these rains have arrived on the market and, because of the poor condition, have lost several grades. We believe, however, with the /im proved weather, that the later thresh ed grains will show a good quality. Throughout the northwest tJireshing returns are better than at first ex pected—in the Red River valley some exceptional yields of wheat, barley and oats and rye are reported. This con .dition prevails in many localities in Minnesota and South Dakota. In Montana on the irrigated lands the yields will show a good average and along the eastern border and the central and southern parts of the state where late rains have revived the crops, averages from 10 to 12 bushels of wheat to the acre are pre dicted. In a number'of districts the early flax has been cutvanl we look for an early movement of this. While the temperatures have been low at various times, we have not heard of any par ticular damage from frost, so that much of the late flax may escape dam age from this cause. In Minnesota and/ South Dakota there is probably better than an average yield of flax. The corn crop throughout the north west is maturing in fine shape and will soon be out of danger: the ears are large and the quality should bt very high. Many farmers who stacked their grain are now starting their fall plow ing. The soil is in fgood condition, due to recent rains, and asj. the season is early a large amount of fall work will be accomplished. There is considerable complaint in places fthe scarcity of labor, but volunteers from the towns have been of great assistance to the farmers. While threshing may be slow, it "will all probably be well taken care of.' Yours very truly, The Van Dusen Harrington Co. BJV w. s. s. AMERICAN INVENTOR BESTS THE KAISER.
