successful hops of the season. The
music will b. excellent. Supper will

Many of the farmers in the older
portions Of the state make practice of
their fields after the wheat
is three or four inches high and claim
that it helps the growing grain great
Iy. Have any of Stevens county
farmers tried it? If so we should be
pleased to have them give their
brother farmers through the TRI-
BUNE's columns the result of the
work. 1t is stated that harrowi ng
grain is death to weeds and life to the
grain.
1t is not too early tol consider the
question of seed wheat. Much of the
in regard to the grading of
wheat at Morris elevators this season
has been due to foul seed in the grain
brought tot market. A great deal of
cookie, buckwheat and 'pi geon''
grass seed grew with the wheat last
year and the same unfortunate con-
dition of things will exist next year
nnless unusual care is taken i'm the
selection of seed. Farmers will find
it to their advantage to sow only
wheat that is free from all foreign
substances.
The Catholic Parochial school has
closed for the year. Many of it's
pupils will be enrolled in the public
school next term. This will increase
the number in the public schools to
such an extent that an additional
teacher will be a necessity. The
school board have requested Miss
Emma Spooner to resume a position
the force of teachers and we
are told that she has complied with
their request. Miss Spooner was
formerly teacher of the intermediate
department until sickness compelled
her to resign about year ago. She
has since recovered her health and in
securing her services again the board
have acted wisely. Miss Spooner is
an experienced, and efficient teacher. II
