THE DROUTH.

Lake Crystal Union:
Not in the history of man has there
been such a long, dry period in TINS
mart of Minnesota. The pastures are
gone: the fields are as brown and bare
of grass as in midwinter. The farmers
are feeding their stock grain and nay.
The grass in the sloughs is being cut
and cured for hay, in order to carry
the stock through the winter. 1t is
well this precaution be taken to pro-
vide against any emergency that may
arise in providing food for the stock
through the winter, yet we predict a
wet fall and before the snow flies the
pastures will become fresh and green
and remain SO up to setting IN OF
winter If fire were applied to fields
of grain. and in some cases cornhelds,
they would burn as rapidly as if struck
by frost and then dried. The early
planted potatoes are not more than
a half crop, small and very few in the
hill. The rains may come IN time TO
save those planted later, but we doubt
it very much. In many localities the
small grain has suffered as much from
drouth as from other causes. On Geo.
Mayer's farm the chinch bug has en-
tirely disappeared. This is what he
reports. What became of them he
could not ascertain. He brought
samples of wheat pulled from
the places in the field where the bug
was at work, that are good. The
heads are kerneled clear to the top
and the grains are plump. This will
be ready for cutting this week. In
places harvest has begun. Oats are
being cut and many fields are in the
shock. Early sown flax is ready to
cut, and is a good crop. We have
heard that many farmers will thresh
their flax in the field and get it on the
market at once. This would be a
matter of prudence, for the acreage of
flax this season is largely in excess of
that sown last year, and it may have
tendency to depress the price. From
appearance the crop Of oats promises
a good yield and fine quality.

ST. CLAIR ITEMS.

The Catholic choir of ST. Clair spent
Sunday at GAINESVILLE. After the SER
vices there a very enjoyable picnic
was held.
Mr.. Macarthur, representing the
Modern Woodman, was here to or
ganiZe a society of that order.
Some of our small boys were entic-
ed into Mr.. Deremer's raspberry patch
last week. But it seems that fate
was against them as they did not
stay in this garden of Eden as long
as they expected, because some one
all at once began celebrating the 4th
with shot gun loaded with beans.
1t is almost unnecessary to say that
the boys got over a four wired fence
without even touching it.
Messrs. Willie Brandt and John
Fitzloff went to GAINESVILLE last Sun
day and report fine time.
Mr. Chas. Geckler has purchased a
new Buffalo Pitts separator 1t does
fine work.
The fy-wheel on the engine be-
longing to DanKennedy flew to pieces,
breaking the straw stacker. Several
people had narrow escapes from be-
ing injured.
Miss Camilla Grignon has organized
a class in vocal music. 1t is large
and progressive class.

FOR COUNTY SUPERIN TENDENT.

Mrs. S. G. Stevens will be a non-par-
tisan candidate for county superinten-
dent of schools this fall, and will ac-
cept the endorsement of any of the
political parties. This course is taken
as the office is strictly non-politi-
cal one, and Mrs. Stevens has numer-
Gus friends in every part of the
county who desire to see her reflect
ed to the position she occupied so
satisfactorily two years ago. Four
years ago she was elected by a
large majority, and two years ago
she received 2,055 votes, although not
on any of the regular tickets. Dur
ing her encumbency she worked
faithfully for the good of the scholars,
leaving politics alone, and her work
will be lasting in it's good effects. She
intends to make a close canvass of the
county, and her male opponents will
have to get up early in the morning
if they expect to be sin it."
There will be no lack of candidates
for this office this year. Geo. w.
Scherer, the present efficient and
worthy superintendent, will ask for
the usual second term as an endorse
ment of his work, and will be for
midable candidate before the Repub-
lican convention.
Another candidate in the Republi-
can ranks is Chas. Schellbach, whose
many good points are too numerous
to mention.
w. r. Thompson, of Garden City, is
likely to be the Democratic NOM
inee, if reports are true, while Prof.
E. w. ParkerS name has been men
toned for the Peoples party nom
nation. How many more candidates
there are we are not aware, but the
good sense of the voters will teach
them which of the candidates is best
fitted for the office, and upon that one
it will be disposed.
