Any one would think to hear the Beach
people talk and by reading the papers
of the town that a great deal more rain
had fallen in the Golden Valley country
than around Dickinson. However. the
official records show that such is not the
case. The total precipitation at Dickin-
son from the first of January to the first
of May is 2.45 inches and at Beach for
the same time 81 inches, o. As inches
more than at Dickinson. Now this is
less than half an inch of moisture in
favor of Beach and it is not enough more
to make any material difference in crop
prospects. 1t is probable that Beach
received more moisture in the form of
rain than did Dickinson. The trouble
with Beach is that when they have a
little sprinkle up there they all talk
about it and the papers come cut and
say that the country has had another
million dollar rainfall, but they do not
give official records on the amount of

OFFICIAL PAPER FOR
STARK COUNTY
STARK COUNTY DEMONSTRA-
TON FARMS

Locating demonstration farms at Bel
field and Richardton can a great deal
to Stark county farmers and will do
much to epliehten the settlers of West
ern North Dakota on what scientific
farming is doing for the country. The
staff ons are jointly under the super
vision of the state agricultural depart
ment and the Northern Pacific Ry. Co.
and will receive the attention of some
OF the best soil experts in the Northwest.
The state was crippled for want of funds
to carry on this grand work but the
Northern Pacific came to the rescue in
a way that is most ~commendable.
1t is fortunate that one of the demon
stration farms in Stark county is located
at Bel6eld, the headquarters Of the Hol-
land Dakota Landbouw Compaanie. the
n of IA. 600 acres in the western
part of the county. where so many
Holland families are being located in
America. These families are frugal and
very anxious to get good farms and to
learn the best methods of farming in
their newly adopted country. In Holland
they have the land under a very high
state of cultivation and there is no rea-
son why the Hollanders should not make
rich land very productive. They are
the right kind of people to do it.
A great deal of credit is due Vim. F.
Gobius, representative and resident
manager of the Holland-D Dakota Land
bouw Compagnie. for the activity he
displayed in getting a state dry farming
meeting in Belield in March and for his
successful efforts in getting a 25-acre
demonstration farm, together with a
volunteer government weather bureau.
Such acts help to develop the country.
Manager Gobius has had several Ton
ferences with Supt. T. r. Waldron of
the Dickinson experimental station and
will not lose an opportunity of visiting
the station when in this city, in order
that he may gain the greatest knowledge
possible in the methods of dry farming,
breeding plants, etc.

 In a certain country town not far from Paris there existed a fishing club named the Intrepid Fishers of Marpi- gnon. pretty stream goes through Malpignon but for many years not one fish had been seen in this stream, from which circumstance it followed, the Intrepid Fishers had little to do, says IIarper's Weekly.
 The excitement may be magined therefore. when the word ran through Marpignon that large barbel-a tough and gamy fish-had been seen in the stream. The Intrepid Fishers turned out and. having ascertained that there was indeed barbel in the stream, immediately stopped the wa ter some little distance above and be- low him with gratings so that he could not get away.
 Then they ranged themselves joy fully along the stream with hook and line. and all went to fishing fer the one fish,
 By and by one Intrepid Fisher caught him and immediately threw him back into the water In the course of time another caught him and did the same.
 For three days one veracious ac- count has it the Intrepid Fishers kept at work catching this one barbel, and at the end of that time the fish died of exhaustion and loss of blood. Then the Intrepid Fishers counted up the notches that they had made on their fish poles, and the man who had caught the barbel the most times was declared the champion fisherman of Marpignon and received great honors.
