From Rev. J. D. Carson.

Oella, Sargent Co., N. D. Aug. 17, Mr. Babcock: Dear Sir and FriendHaving just finished thrashing, a note as to condition and yield of crops may be of interest to your readers. Wheat averaging 20 bushels, my oats averaged 50 bushels and weighed 44 pounds per bushel; Barley, 30 bushels; Speltz, 40. Corn is looking fine; we have had an abundance of rain. Pastures excellent, hay abundant. There’s room in Dakota for thousands of people. We anticipate a large immigration this fall and next spring. Those who come early will secure bargains. Money is plenty, everybody in good spirits. We have spent the most delightful summer we ever experienced so tar as climate is concerned. Harvest hands and threshers getting $2.00 to 52.50; men with team and wagon to haul bundles, $4.00. I want one married man and one single man to work for me by the year. Yours respectfully, with kindest regards to all our friends in Jasper county.

J. D. CARSON.
