alfalfa AND WINTER RYE
ATExPERlMENT STATION

The rains have keep the alfalfa fields
back at the Dickinson experiment sta
tion and but little of the hay was cut
until this week and some will not be
cut before another week. Supt. Wal
dron has some very handsome fields
that were sown in 1908 and 1909 which
will yield ton and half to the acre
for the first cutting.
Alfalfa gives great promise for this
country and farmers should give more
attention to the raising of this hay
crop. .r
The station has several fields of hand
some winter rye this season, some of
which measures six feet. It is in bios
som now and will be ready to cut early
in July. One field west of the station
buildings was. .sown on summer fallowed
land that had been heavily manured
and it is safe to say that there is not
a better field in Western North Dakota.
Supt Waldron sowed the rye with a
view of cutting it green for fodder, but
he finds now that the station has an
abundance of hay and he will let the
rye fields ripen.

ROSE Time RECITAL
APPROPRIATE SURROUNDINGS

The Fargo Forum of June nth. had
the following concerning the piano re-
cital of pupils of Mrs. Oscar Dietsche.
a full account of which is given else
where in this issue:
A musical recital is announced to be
given at Gladstone. a small village in
Stark county between Hebron and Dick
inson, tomorrow afternoon, which is
certainly unique in its arrangement
and perfectly apropos to the time of the
year-and at Gladstone there will be no
lack of opportunity to make the room.
in which the recital is to be given, in
perfect harmony with the music to be
played, for nowhere in the state are
there to be found wild roses in greater
profusion and loveliness than about the
hills and rugged bluffs surrounding the
village of Gladstone.
The Rose Time program is to be given
by the piano pupils of Vivian T.
Dietsche, at the home of her mother,
Mary H. Turner, which nestles among
native trees and bushes on the edge of
q valley near the banks of the winding
Heart river and abounding with en-
vironments all perfectly attuned for the
giving of such prO9ram.

1T RAINED
FOR 3 DAYS
Looks Like Greatest Harvest
/. Ever Known In Western
T North Dakota. Over
Inch of Rain.

1t rained steady for hours and hours
on June 18th. and when the measure
ments were made at the government
gauge on the 10th it was found that
i.10 inches Of moisture had fallen
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The rain came in way to soak into
the ground, and it is noticeable that
the streams are not high, contrary to
what might be expected on first thought.
The rain was general in the North
west, some localities getting little
more and some little less. 1t turned
cold Saturday night and frosted little
in the morning in places. But so far
as can be learned the damage was
slight. Corn and potatoes were nipped
just a little but not enough to do
much harm. Grain was not injured.
The total rainfall for 1912 up to this
time is about $50 inches, something
more than one inch above normal.
So far the rainfall for June is less
than half an inch over the amount
which fell in June, 1911. but it has
been well distributed which was not
the case last year. The heavy rain last
year came on the first day of June and
amounted to ia inches, but it came
down in torrents and did not get a
chance to soak into the ground in very
good shape. Again on the 21st of June
last year "a inches of moisture fell,
making total precipitation of IN
inches for the month in 1911. This last
fall was followed by intense heat and
on the 25th the grain fields commenced
to 20 down. The fall conditions too in
1910, it will be remembered, were ex-
ceedi4gly unfavorable, there being alb.
soautely no rains. hence there was little
or no moisture stored deep in the
ground to carry grain through the hot
days which prevailed the last of June
in 1911. Conditions this season are
the reverse. There was lots of rai1
last fall and the moisture of this yeal
has come at the right time and has
soaked deep into the ground. Follow.
ing the three days rain last week, COO
weather prevailed, and now warm
weather is wanted.
The farmers say that the grain il
growing as well as any one could ash
and that all fields that were we'll put
in are very promising. The acreage is
a little short owing to the heavy rains
in May. amounting to 4 inches, but
even at that the acreage is large, ant
there is promise of the greatest harvest
ever known in Western North Dakota.
The next two weeks will tel the story

PLAYGROUND ABOUT READY
STARTS next MONDAY P. N.

The apparatus for the playground has
all been completed and erected. 1t was
thought best to build apparatus at home
instead of ordering from any sporting
goods house. and thereby great
amount of time has been saved. The
apparatus consists of the following: {:
swings, 1 low horizontal bar, teeter
boards, sand boxes. large horizontal
bars. trapeze and flying rings. The
basketball court has been laid out and
back stops erected and with the games
OF volley ball and teams, the entire
play ground has been very we'll filled.
1t is hoped that baseball diamond
can be made on some adjoining lots,
but as yet nothing has been done in
regard to that matter. 1t is hoped that
all the boys will be interested in track
and field sports. viz: high and broad
jumps. hurdles and shot-put, ETC., and
the apparatus for those activities will
be placed on the play ground. In such
an undertaking where children and
young people of all ages are put to-
gether, it is necessary that certain rules
of conduct must be observed. In ad-
dition to this certain hours of the day
must be set aside for certain ages, and
none except the children coming under
those specific periods will be allowed
on the play ground at one time. The
hours will be from till 80 y. m. for
the children of both sexes up to the age
of seventeen. All apparatus will be
open to them during that time. The
time from 80 till dark will be given
over exclusively to the young men and
women over seventeen years of age.
The activities OH the play ground will
be open next Monday at p. m. and
it is hoped that every young person
and child in Dickinson will avail
themselves of the opportunity offered
them TO secure athletic training and
recreation. The athletic director will
be in sole charge Of the play ground and
reserves the right of sending home
those who do not observe the rules. In
case of faerant violations the director
will take away the privilege of playing
on the grounds and restore them only
when the person or persons show by
their actions that they will obey the
rules and also the director.
1. No. profanity will be tolerated.
2. Tobacco shall not be allowed OF,
play ground at any time of the day.
3. All unseemly conduct must be
stopped.
4. No bullying will be permitted
S. Obey the director at all times ane
in everything he says.
(Note) Other rules will be made
later if these are not sufficient. Mex
Monday then let all those come who de-
sire. Active interest on the part o1
parents as we'll as the children will bt
greatly appreciated.

Physical Director,
