Carpenter Township Man Pleased With North Dakota Farm Crops.

Nicholas Wagner, who lives east of Remington, Carpenter township, was in Rensselaer Wednesday to meet a relatives from Chicago, and he brought over with him a sample of wheat grown by his son Jake, three miles northwest of Larimore. N. Dak. Jake has a farm of his own there and this year had out 235 acres of wheat which turned out very satisfactorily. Nick has a farm of 480 acres northeast of Larimore that is occupied by his son Henry, who also has a good crop. He not only had out all of his father's big farm but rented adjoining land and put it in wheat and oats. His total wheat Acreage was 485 and from this he harvested more than 10,000 bushels, which is still being held for a better price. His wheat made an average of 23 bushels to the acre and his oats averaged 50 bushels to the acre. Mr. Wagner is well pleased with his investment and his sons are also pleased with the success they are meeting there. They have raised two crops and both have been good big ones.
