crs, 81 we'll known society young lady
of Ames, who has served some time
as u reporter on the local papers. is
about to leave her home for q life on
the Rosebud Indian reservation where
she was fortunate enough to draw a
choice quarter section of land during
the drawing at Bonestee. The land
which Miss Rogers drew is within two
miles of Gregory. n thriving village OF
200 souls, which has sprang UP since
the opening of the country.
Miss Rogers will be accompanied by
her father, who will remain with her
until her cabin is erected and a place
provided for the small amount of stock

ing taken the claim in her own name,
and she proposes to homestead It" n
lone, nothing daunted at the life of
loneliness and danger she Will place
herself in.
She does not intend to farra extern
sively the first year but Will put In a
sufficient amount of grain that her
harvest will equal the needs of the
stock that she has. This she intends
to do and do alone. One would nat
urally conclude from this decision OF
the lady that she was large, mas
culine sort of an agricultural girl, but
on the contrary, she Is delicate and re-
fined in every way, small Of stature,
handsome in face and figure and mod
est and retiring in her every day life.
Her friends, however, insist that she
has a sufficient amount of the quality
known as sef-reliancc that whatever
she undertakes she will go thru with.
Her experience Will be a novel one in

city and Ames are wishing her all of
the good luck imaginable.
She expects to leave Ames within u
short time, going to Bonesteel, from
which place she will stage it to Greg

Crop Summary.

Crop Summary.
Following is the North Dakota crop
summary for the week ending Mon
day June 26, 1905, as sent ont from
Bismarck by Section Director BrOn-
I son:
"The past week was unusually cool
and cloudy, With light to heavy rains
in all sections. Hail storms are re-
ported from several places, but are
not believed to have done u great
amount Of damage. Light frost oc-
Cured at scattered points in the
northern portion during the week,
but were not heavy enough to do any
damage at all,
"Wheat is still doing very we'll, ex-
cept on low land, where drowned out,
and in some spots where it has turned
yellow ON account Of too much moisture
aud lack Of sunshine. The plant is
generally strong, but is as rule quite
tender. 1t has stOOled we'll.
"Early-sown rye and barley are head
ing, with straw Of average height and
long heads. Oats are doing fairly well,
but are growing very slowly.
"The weather has been TOO cool and
wet for fax, and it has made but little
growth the past week. The entire
crop is quite backward and consider
ably behind the Season.
"Corn has made but little progress,
on account Of the cold, wet weather.
The plant is small, yellow in color,
and anything but promising in ap'
pearance.
"Grass continues to thrive, and ex.
cellent reports are received from all
sections concerning it,"

WHEN "The Alfalfa Ktng' (As we
remember, his name is O'Donnell, Of
Montana), addressed the irrigation
convention In the hall of the house
Of representatives at Bismarck last
winter, he replied asked why it
was that in non-irrigated section
alfalfa would do well In one field aud
pOorly In another field near by-that
the chances were that the grass in
the field that was a success was cut
the 6rst year aud was allowed to lie
where it fell, as mulch, while this
was not done with tile other field.
We believe that is the way Mr.. S. e.
Kurtz, an early settler residing near
Hazelton, this County, did with his
alfalfa. But, whatever the cause,
Mr.. Kurts has y small field of alfalfa
