Bowbells Tribune: If the prairies
| Of North Dakota were not burned off
every fall the land would contain
| three times the moisture it usually
does. The heavy grass retains the
snow and rain, while the land that
has been burned over will show that
every bit Of moisture has been slipped
from the vegetation roots underneath
the surface. A day or two with
teams will protect life and property
and give the country a better show
for another year.
An order has been received by
Agent Bingenheimer from the acting
secretary Of the interior, prohibiting
the Indians from participating in the
North Dakota state fair. This will
| be a Disappointment to the Indians
and whites, too. An order has also
been received forbidding white men
on the reservation unless they have a
pass. Any person found trcspassing
is to be arrested and will be liable
to fine Of $1,000. 4 proposition will
shortly be presented to the Indians
for the lease Of their vacant land.
Several new clauses have been insert
ed, which, it is believed, make the
new lease less Objectionable than the
one which was rejected by the Indi,
ans In May.
jamestown Capital: Millet, Hun
garian and bronze grass have been an
immense crop this season in the state
and especially in this county. r. B.
Young has fine crop, some of the
crop having been sent to the Mime
sofa state fair. G. Wade has crop
that is record breaker and Ole John
son of Buchanan has crop that made
a growth of an inch d day for forty-six
days. In fact the growth is too heavy
for mower and but half or three
quarters OF full cut is made at a
time and then it requires heavy
team to keep the machine in motion.
There is no difficulty or doubt about
the hay question when such growth
OF tame grass can be had. Those who
have grown bronze grass are enthusi-
astic in regard to its cultivation.
