fall.
!. Mr. Schlewitz got 13 bushels to the acre
of spring wheat, while his four acres of
winter wheat averaged little over II
bushels. His seed was not just what he
wished it to be and he is of the opinion
that under more favorable conditions a
very large yield of winter wheat can be
obtained. He will try for it any way.
His corn and garden crops are fine, and
the 800 poplar trees set last spring have
made a remarkable growth. MI.
S.hlewitz says that farmers should set
more trees and if properly cultivated for
a few years they will have good shade
and timber, which will enhance the
value of the land materially.

Six Applicants for Position as
Mail Carrier. Lady. No
Service Before Spring Un-
less q Passed.

Will Dickinson get free mail delivery
the first Of October or will the service be
started next spring? This is question
that the local postoffice officials cannot
answer and perhaps no one will know
for week or two yet.
1t seems that the department will in
augurate the free mail delivery in the
city on the first of October. the same as
talked. providing four Of the applicants
taking the carriers examinations August
n are successful in passing. otherwise
the service will not be given Dickinson
before spring. 1911.
At the examination held in the
Masonic banquet rooms last Saturday,
conducted by Benjamin j. Hornby of
jamestown, of the Eighth Civil Service
District, six applicants presented them
selves. namely: Hartwell Johnson,
Bernard B. Taylor. William Reilly. Ruby
George, A. P. Langdon and Henry
Schwartz. One other candidate pre-
sented himself, but after taking look
at some of the questions, he decided to
let the examination alone.
A number of the applicants thought
the examination hard, and it is doubtful
if more than two or three passed. The
papers were sent to Washington for
marking.
If the civil service examining board
at Washington finds that four or more of
the Dickinson applicants are entitled to
100 marks on their answers marked down
last Saturday, the free mail delivery
will be a 90.

been all summer and all depends On
