To Logan belongs the honor of
possessing one of the oldest and fin
est fields of alfalfa to be found in
Ward county. While more recently
established fields are doubtless cred
liable to those who are ever in the
public eye, yet we feel that Earle
Stredwick is entitled to recognition
as one who illustrated convincingly
the adaptability of this great plant
to North Dakota soil. e..
J. j. Brand, whose right to the
titles, cabbage king and potato po-
tentate, no farmer questions, is this
season specializing in onions. Many
acres being sown to this pungent
weed. .. .....

During the week it has in this vi
cinity rained upon the just and un
lust daily, and even as in days OF Ola
as Matthew chronicles, the rain de
scended.. the floods came, and tn
winds blew. And it shall be observ
ed Of ali men that the crops grew
wondrously also. The superao9na
ance of moisture though attended o!
minor discomforts and occaslona
