John Lee Home

Ex-Sheriff John J. Lee and family
returned Saturday from Mr.. Lees old
home in Norway, where they spent
all summer, visiting the former sher-
ifs aged father and mother, whom
he had not seen for twenty years.
Mr.. Lee was but boy of fifteen when
he came to America and it was hard
to leave his parents and other loved
ones behind. After twenty years Of
hard work, and having made a sue
cess of life's battle, Mr.. Lee was not
satisfied until he had again visited
the scene of his boyhoOd days, and
seen once again the old folks, who
have grown pretty feeble. Norway
has changed considerably, Mr.. Lee
says, the improvements being made
mainly by native sons, who have been
away and returned again. Mr.. Lee
had planned trip to Hammerfest, of
midnight sun fame, but his plans fell
thru. He will erect a fine home on
the north side, at once.

There Is some talk of grasshoppers
doing damage next year, because in
places in North Dakota they are nu-
merous this season. -.
Burn of the stubble where they are
this fall, and plow every acre you
can before snow flies. This Is the
best remedy known, and If generally
followed will be found effective.
Many papers over the state write
to inquire about rust, and what can
be done to prevent 1t.
The reader will remember that the
rust that does damage, the black
wheat rust strikes the hardest late in
the season.
There is no way of preventing it
save to sow early and get the crop
out of the way before it becomes a
menace.
We cannot tell when rust will prove
serious and when it will not. The best
precuation is therefore to sow early.
Because Of this fact alone, winter
wheat, if we can successfully raise it.,
will be a great benefit to North Da-
kota. .... ..*.

hail, rust, and frost. Plan for an ear

The total attendance at the Nortn

being meetings Of three sessions each.
An effort will be made this coming
season to visit those places which
could not be reached this year.
The regular institute force for the
cast season consisted Of Supt. Hover

'.The central thot in all the meet
ings was to so farm that high yield
of grain could be produced. Effort
was made everywhere, not to discour-
age farmers from growing grain. but
to try to influence them to grow stiu
more bushels. 1t is the intention to
have North Dakota remain a grain
producing state as long as possible,
and by introducing a rotation OF crops,
which will include clover or alfalfa,
as we'll as some cultivated crop, doubt
less good yield Of grain can be main
tanned for years to come. Most farm

manently successful live stock must
be introduced very much more extern
