96, had IS acres of.wheat that gave him

south country.

Adams County Record Success is
attending the experiments conducted by
the Milwaukee railroad along the line
in the construction Of a series Of wells
for the purpose Of ahordine an, ample
water supply at all times. The wells
that were dug in Hettinser. twenty-five
In number. and each about forty feet

Three South Dakotn men, VIM. Quinn,
Ed. Dolan and Ab. Rudcil, tell an awful
story about shipping a car of horses
from Dickinson to Grand Forks and not
being able to sell but five head. return
ing home with the balance. They
claimed to the paper reporting their
grief. that there was no green grass
south of this city. The truth, however,
is that the South Dakota people are driv-
ing stock into North Dakota because
grass is good and because there is no
feed for stock in their own state.
An Glendale dispatch says: North
Dak0ta's first criminal action against a
farmer on charge of burning straw
stack ''out of season. was tried in the
county court at Glendale and resulted
in disagreement. Edward McKeagur
of Fulleton was accused of having set
stack of straw afire in his field without
providing 50-foot fire break as pro-
vided by law. While he kept the fire
in control and no damage was done.
he was arrested. North Dakota's ''open
season for straw stack fires is in July
and August.
Experiments for the purpose of dem.
onstrating the practibility of irrigation
in reclaiming lands in the Cannon Ball
river bottoms will be carried on next
year by the Regent Commercial Club on
a tract of land near that place that has
been leased for that purpose. The plan
is to establish model irrigation plant,
large enough to accommodate the tract
of land procured, and next season an
expert agriculturist will be placed in
charge for the purpose of carrying on
the work and showing wherein better
results can be obtained. Only gaso-
line engine will be used in the work,
that plan being adopted for the purpose
of indicating economy in operation.
