FARMERS FREAK FIELD.
Andrew Nelson Experiments With

Andrew Nelson Experiments With
Hopper Touched Produce.
Andrew Nelson, a farmer living near
Ola, Brule county, has field of wheat
which is a decided freak in its way.
About the time last year that wheat
was ripening grasshoppers got into
this particular field and ate a great
part of the grain. After harvest a
voluntary crop grew in the field and
had attained a good growth when win
ter set in. Snow covered the ground
all understanding unusual in that
locality-and last spring the field
again came up nice and green. For
the purpose of seeing what would re-
suit, Nelson permitted the field to
stand as it was. To his surprise the
wheat grew as well as that sown in
the spring. and Nelson states that the
field is now without doubt the best in
that locality. In this instance, at
least, grasshoppers proved Of benefit.

WANTS HIS PRICE.
Old Well Begins to Fill Up After Years
of Dryness.

Sixteen years ago an unread Scotch
man thirty miles northwest of Miller
bored a 200-foot well on his land, but
failing to get water proved up and re-
turned to the old country, first making
a contract with a neighbor that when
the we'll began to flow, as he thought
it would in time, he was to have $50
an acre for his farm, the neighbor
feeling safe in making such contract,
as water was not believed to exist
there at that time. Now the Scotch
man is on the ground to claim his
price, the abandoned well flowing free
ly from a leak in the same neighbor's
we'll who promised the $50 an acre. It
seems that untitled wells dug in the
early days in that section are filing
with water on account of so many
artesian wells flowing continually, in
some instances the water having to
seek its own outlet.
