Of the many lakes in this county
Strawberry lake seems to be the favor
lite place for summer outings. At pre-

many campers visit the lake as the
fishing, boating and swimming are very
good. A farmer who lives near the
lake has built a large pavilion. He al
so owns a number of row boats and
enough fishing tackle to supply the
many wants. The trees are not as
plentiful as desired but the lake itself
is SO beautiful that the trees are scarce

The crop outlook continues to look
better than it has for years. The corn
is a little delayed on account of the
cool days the first of this month but
that was what was needed for the
small grains. The specimens that will
be sent to the Industrial Exposition at
Bismarck this fall will far outclass
those exhibited last year. This state
will get better advertising through it's
crop reports than can be had in any
other way and we predict prosperous
times in North Dakota this fall.
