JULY Was DRIESI
MONTH ON RECORD

According to the weather records
taken at Moorhead, July, 1910, Was
the driest July on record. The month
of June was also a record breaking
month Tor dryness. The precipitation
for July last was only .83 of an inch,
The normal precipitation in that To-
cality being 3.74 inches. The next
driest July was in 1894, when the
precipitation was 1903 Of an inch.
The precipitation for the month of
June last was also .S3 of an inch. It
IS only at long intervals that these
really dry spells have occurred in the
past history of North Dakota, and it
is not likely this record will be
changed materially in the future.
1910 will long remain a year of COM
parison and reference in weather
data. The unpleasant t)9ures of
the year will be forgotten in due time.

Object TO Law
Protecting THE BEAVER

does not eat fish, it is a fact that the
fish leave a stream which the beavers
colonize. The dams effectually bar
the passage of the fish up and dow
the rivers and creeks and make the
water stagnant, resulting in the trout
leaving the streams, to escape the pol
luted water. In many cases where the
fish cannot escape, death follows.
Large colonies of beavers are to be
found on most of the rivers in the
majority of the upper peninsula coun-
ties. In some instances these immense
beaver houses have hung up drives
of logs. Where blasting has been re-
sorted to the industrious beaver soon
repaired the damage. 1t is the con-
tention of woodsmen that the law pro-
tecting the animals was enacted for
sentimental reasons, and with no true
idea of the immense damage the an
imals are capable of doing, and it is
certain that strong effort will be
made to have the law repealed.
A second cousin to the beaver law is
the one protecting bears. No one will
dispute that the bear family is me-
mace to the settler and his stock. Like
the beaver, bears have no part in
civilization, and like the beaver, the
flesh has little value as an article of
food. Settlers declare that 1.-The bear
must CO." and it is not probable that
the settler has much respect for the
law protecting this useless animal.

GOVERNMENT WILL Be
ASKED TO FILL Lake

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. Nv. R.
Holgate and Professor Simpson of the
state university, have arrived here and
will spend several weeks making a
survey Of the shore line of the lakes
in this section of the state, and oh.
tanning other data and information
which may be valuable to the biolo.
gical work now being carried on at
the Devils Lake station.
The problem of draining the Mouse
river into Devils Lake will be given
some attention. 1t is understood that
a preliminary survey was made sew
eral years ago, and that a favorable
report was made, but no attempt has
ever been made to carry out the work.
This year the lake has receded over
a foot, and the question of main.
tanning water at a certain stage Is
being agitated. 1t is claimed that the
overflow from the Mouse river in the
spring would furnish ample water to
maintain the lake at permanent
depth, and that the cost of construct
ing canal would not be great. II
is a matter in which the egovern.
ment should take an interest, and it
Is believed that if proper steps are
taken an appropriation could be pro.
cured to carry out the work.

Republic, Mich. Aug. 4.-Beavers
are a costly nuisance in upper Mich
igan, and their determination is de.
manded by farmers. lumbermen and
fishermen. The action of the state
legislature in enac1ing law protect.
ing the animals for a further term of
years is not relished. There is no
doubt that beavers are being killed
year in and year out for their pelts,
yet their numbers have increased very
largely the past decade, and there are
probably hundreds of thousands of the
animals in the upper peninsula. One
of the largest beaver dams in the re-
gion is near Witch lake, south of Re-
public The beaver house covers more
than half an acre and contains hun
dreds of cords of wood. The water
in the creek has been backed up for
many miles and many acres of timber
lands have been flooded.
1t has been the contention of the
friends of these industrious animals
who have been instrumental in Sc
curing for them protective legislation,
that beavers are harmless, but owners
Of land hold a decided opinion to the
contrary. In addition to destroying
much timber in the erection of their
homes and for food, the
backing up Of the water has flooded
The timber lands. This water will
ultimately kill all this green timber.

| then again the stalks grew smaller
here and the ground being richer more
stalks can be grown per hill, and this
corn was grown clear up to the Cana
dian border and matured. Corn is also
being grown on each of the twenty-six
demonstration farms, and is doing well
there, so there is no longer any ex-
cuse for saying that corn will not grow
in the state. The other day the writer
been planted the middle of April, and
yet the stand was about 80 per cent.
Where else could corn have gone
through such a mixture of weather as
this had? The corn can stand more
cold and setbacks here than further
south. Corn that had been planted
the middle of May, however, was larg-
er, and this is really good time to
plant it. Every farmer ought this
year to take note of what can be done
with corn and secure some good seed
and cure it we'll and try some next
year. Then again, corn has this ad-
vantage, that the cultivation given it
leaves the ground in splendid shape
for the following crop, so that when
corn is planted it practically assures
two good crops, one of corn and one
of grain the following year.
This year 5000 school children are
growing corn in the state, so that it
should not be hard for any one to get
within reach of some growing corn
and to see how nicely it is doing this
year, even in sections where every
thing else is gone. Corn is king"
even in North Dakota, and the farm
ers ought to give this wonderful plant
a chance to do some work for them.

is consideration to be paid to SAM

dition will grow worse. Ice from
some other source than the two
streams will be necessary, If people
desire sanitary ice and clean ice.
