NEARBY NOTES

At ten o'clock Monday night F. E.
Wheeler started from the store for his
home over across the tracks. He was
going along the road in front of the
Melham Bros. lumber office, the night
vas dark and electric lights out OF
service. Mr.. Wheeler had in mind no
danger except the possibility of be-
ing u over by an automobile. These
he was on the lookout for while going
along the street. Suddenly he was
felled to the ground by a blow over the
left eye. His first thought was that
an auto had struck him. Then he felt
hands in his pockets and knew he had
been way-layed by robbers. He told
the highwaymen who were upon him
there was little N his pockets and to

to it.
| consider that this with other or
Prof. Hansen's varieties will be the
principal a~lfalfas on the uplands as
soon as we can furnish the seed. The
best evidence that | can furnish for
this statement is the fact that those
living close to my place who have
studied the nature of these plants are
p~ropagating nothing else now. If YOU
got a good stand on your twenty acres
in three years time, practically every
one who wants something of a per.
manent nature on their upland places
Will be putting in a little of this alfalfa
for hay and pasture. If your stand is
thin on account of unfavorable weather
conditions, take care of it anyway as
it will certainly surprise everyone the
first real hot dry summer you have
out there.
There are some new canes which
are very promising: Kaoliang and
Feterita. This is my first year with
them but have seen them doing better
than anything else in the annual crop
rotation when it was dry and hot.
The men in the different departments
OF our agricultural college at Brook
ings are a great deal safer to advise
with than to take the opinion of people
who write and edit farm papers, who
know nothing of local conditions as a
whole. Very respectfully,

this year, was originated and put into
effect at Highmore by Mr.. Morrison.
This includes the planting of all the
common crops at very early dates.
Canada peas, alfalfa, bronze grass, and
all the cereals planted early in March
are far advanced and were not injured
by the freezing weather that occurred
early in the season. Flax seeded on
March 18th was headed uniformly on
June 18th. If such early seeding car
be accomplished nearly every season
and the crops can be gotten out of the
way extremely early, ii may help to
solve the problem of lodging the mid
summer drouth.
Deputy State Game Warden Sham

Tuesday and caused the arrest of six
men from Elkton and vicinity or a

q desire to plead guilty when brought
before Judge Grover, but it now APP

they might just as well waited a day
and been freed. The judge gave them
a fine of $50 each. The other three
men were brought up yesterday and
took a change of venue to the court OF
Judge Campbell, who dismissed the
case. 1t would seem as though the
only fair thing for the county to do
would be to remit the fines of the three
who pleaded guilty.
