June LIST, 1910, goes on record with a
slight furry of snow during the after
noon. All of this unreasonable weather
is taken by old timers to forecast some
good crop growing weather during the
remainder of the month, which of course
will be greatly appreciated.
Saturdays heavy wind and binding
dust storm is reported to have destroyed
much early sown crop. the wind and
flying clouds of dirt having cut the
young'glain shoots off close to the ground
Losses of quite heavy acreage to crops
of this kind are reported. Other farmers
report late sown barley and oats put in
later as having been blown out of the
ground entirely. The wind storm OF
Saturday, which prevailed all day is the
severest experienced in years and could
be compared to a genuine North Dakota
blizzard, the only difference being the
air was filed with dust instead Of snow
Friday evening the Langdon girls bal
team played an evening game with the
boys of the Langdon junior nine on the
local diamond, and all of the nine in
uings played gave something to cal
forth the applause of the attending
crowd. The score which finally resulted
in a victory for the girls of 10 runs to T
runs for the boys was one to which the
wearers of the cardinal sweaters ane
boomers played hard to win and did no
have to get into the good graces of Um
pire McNab to secure. Miss Bell Robert
son is manager of the girl team and the
lineup playing in the game along with
her included Misses Luella Jones, Laura
Morrison, Gertie johnson, Edna Drury
