Mitchell Republican: James Door, of
Fargo, N. D. Is in the city. In speaking
of tho crops in the north twin state Mr..
Door said that the big farmers up in
that country are blowing up their wheat
fields. The Grandin and Dalrymple
farm in the Red river valley having had
practically all Of their spring wheat
plowed up and the ground put in to an
early fodder that will make good feed
for the stock.
Dick Harvey was up from the farm
Monday and reports things in pretty bad
shape down that way. Hail wiped out
all clops for several miles, the strip be-
ing u mile wide, and the Harvey farm
was right in the path. The storm was
on the afternoon Of the Fourth. What
the hail has not destroyed, the hoppers
will finish, Dick says. These last nam
ed pests are causing considerable trou-
Bile IN Charles Mix.
1t has been a bad season for the New
York state farmers, according to all
accounts. A. G. Whitbeck received a
copy OF the Rochester Democrat flom
his father Monday which contains rN-
ports Of crop conditions all over the
state. The headlines say: "Drouth de-
tails; every county has its tale OF woe;
failure for farmers; worse than last year;
worst III memory; nay crop scanty in all
the counties; fruit all needs rain; worms
and nigh winds now causing trouble"
etc.
White Lake has put its foot down on
Sunday ball playing. From a moral
point OF view, matters of this kind
should be regulated largely by indiyid.
ual conscience. The trouble With the
otherwise harmless sport of base ball on
Sunday is that it tends to bring the day
into less respect, which is harmful to the
extreme. 1t would seem that work and
business in these South Dakota com
munities is net so urgent during the dog
days but what some other day than the
Sabbath might be given over to outdoor
sports.
j. ii. NHnBuskirk returned a few days
ago, from a trip to Alberta, western Can
ada, where he located a claim about so
miles north Of Calgary and six miles
from a branch road running from that
city. Calgary was written up with tile
rest of that country by the editor of the
GRAPHIC last summer. It is a town
about thu size of Mitchell, 100 miles this
side of the foothills OF the Rockies. Mr..
VanBuskirk has located about 300 miles
north OF the Montana line. He expects
to go there in the spring. The country
is devoted almost wholly TO cattle. 1t
freezes in the winter.
Ever have the hay fever: 1t not, keep
away from the grass widders, and other
exposures. It's worse than the seven
year itch. Never had the itch, hut the
scribe herein has had the darned hay
fever all his lire-though not so bad in
the Dak0tas as when he was u Buckeye.
