l1nist, who has Just completed a most
successful tour thru the principal
cities of the northwest, will spend
the summer in Logan with the old
folks.
The Logan baseball team will en-
terrain the nine captained by Ralph
Gard on June 18th. An interesting
game is promised, and given fine
weather our town should be thronged
with visitors.
Children's day was celebrated at the
Hecker school house on Sunday last.
Credit is due to those responsible for
training the little ones so ably, for
they acquitted themselves right wen.
Mrs. Hecker, Mrs. HUMPHREYS and
Mrs Kearfoot, among many other
willing helpers, deserve special praise.
Mr.. Gunter delivered an interesting
address in an eloquent manner.

FARMING EXPERIMENT
CLOSELY WATCHED

James Angle, one of the successful
Surrey farmers has been experiment
ing on piece of land, and the farm
ers for miles around are watching the
results. Last July he plowed up the
field, and disced and narrowed It we'll.
Early this spring he disced and har-
rowed it again several times. getting
the field in as fine condition as any
garden. Then he seeded the land to
wheat, three pecks to the acre. The
stand Is not nearly as good as many
farmers secured by discing stubble
and sowing wheat, but it may come
out all right yet Some of his neigh.
bors believe that discing in grain on
stubble Is all right, providing the land
was plowed deep in the previous
spring, which would have a tendency
to give bed free from weeds. Move,
before have our farmers done 10 much
experimenting as this year, and they
will no doubt learn some valuable
lessons.
