FARMERS MAKING
Great STRIDES
The Standard of Farming in
Grand Forks County is
Being Raised.

The standard of farming in this
county is going higher right along, ac-
cording to the North Dakota Experi-
mental station. Farmers are begin
ming to see the advantage of growing
crops other than wheat and they are
finding it profitable also. Taking into
consideration the conditions in Grand
Forks county several years ago, one
can easily see the great advance which
has been made. Much credit is due
o. D. Center Of the better farming as
ISOLATION, for his part in the progress
made.
Many farmers have been shown the
value of raising alfalfa and they are
meeting with great success. When al
falfa Is planted properly it yields well,
but when not cared for in the right
manner the results are often poor.
Farmers who have taken the advice
OF the better farming association in
raising it have secured excellent re-
suits.
The increase in livestock is also
very noticeable in this county. The
better farming association has enabled
the farmers to increase the amount of
the stock and to secure better breeds
also.
MIR. Center has been making a trip
about the county in the interests Of
the good work and he has been we'll
received all over.

PECULIAR

Lose Sight.

accident happened about s o'clock on
Monday evening in which Lester
Schroeder. son Of Mrs. Mary Schroe-
der, of 1407 First avenue north. had
one Of his eyes so severely injured

Lester, who is about 10 years of
age, was out hunting with an elder
brother, Arthur Schroeder. They were
both in a carriage and Lester was
driving, while his brother was doing
the shooting. They were driving ovs
er some open ground when a covey
Of prairie chickens jumped up from
under the horses feet and rose
straight up into the afr. Arthur fired
at them n evidently shot straight up
itno the air. Lester was looking UP
to see the effects of his brothers
shots, when one OF the shot in falling
back to earth, hit him squarely in the
eye.
The injury inflicted was terrible, as
the shot struck directly in the pupil
and cut the eye open. Stitches have
been taken in the eye and everything
is being done possible to I'VE the sight
OF the injured eye, but the oculists
mold out little hope that they will be
able to do SO.
It was q most peculiar accident. as
evidently the shot rose straight in the
air to q great height and in falling
back to earth obtained the force that
caused the injury,
