Aeroplane and Dives Best Exhibi-
tion Ever Seen In Valley
For the first time in history
successful aeroplane flight has
been pulled off in the lower Ar
kansas Valley, and-as predicted
by The Enterprise last week
it remained for Rocky Ford to
take the lead in this as in every
thing else of public interest that
is attempted.
Under the auspices of the
Rocky Ford Lodge of Elks the
aviation meet held in this city last
Saturday and Sunday was emf
nently successful, something like
ten thousand people witnessing
the flights of Daredevil Bill"
Heth, and had the people who
viewed the exhibition from out
side the grounds dug up even
half the admission price for the
show the Elks home would have
been ahead good thousand dol
lars. AS it is there was a couple
of hundred dollars to the good
after settling with the Berger
Aviation Co. and paying all ex-
penses, and this will go to the
benefit of the home.
From those who witnessed the
aviation meet from the inside of
the Fair grounds there was
unanimous expression of praise
for the Berger Aviation ca and
the highest commendation for the
local lodge of Elks, which had
put up a sufficient guarantee as to
make such an aviation meet pos
sible in city the size of Rocky
Ford.
AS might be expected much of
the success depended upon the
dNldloI, anu thc Hihhhci III WhiCh
birdman handled his sky-steed-
the rising into the blue with the
apparent ease of bird, skimming
the upper attitudes until he and
his huge biplane became a mere
speck in the sky, then "dipping
the dip" and doing spirals until
he caused the thrills to chase
themselves up and down the spine
of his every specta.or-demon-
strated that he was justly entitled
to the fame of being one of the
most efficient aviators in the
country.
In connection with the meet
Capt. Hardy gave exhibitions of
shooting that have never been
equalled in this city, sensation
al feature of his wizardry with a
rifle being that of bursting as
they fell couple of imitation
bombs dropped by Aviator Heth
as he circled above the grounds in
his aeroplane.
The motorcycle races were also
exciting features of the aviation
meet, and very fast time was
made by the riders, especially on
Sunday afternoon, when the state
track record was broken for ten
miles on a half-mile course. The
new record was made by Joe
Mergler of Pueblo, who rode
Pope.
There were five entries in each
race on Saturday afternoon and
the winners with the machines
ridden, were as follows:
Five Miles-Walter Leonard. Indian.
first; Glen Jones. Excelsior. second; Joe
Mergler. Pope, third. Time 6:55.

GARRISON HAVING
A STEADY GROWTH

Garrison. N. D., April t7s-Garrison
is not having a boom, but 1t is GER
tainly enjoying O good. steady growth
as o. result of its Industrial associa-
ton, which has set things in motion.
The new creamery. which opened
here two weeks ago, has turned out an
average of better than 800 pounds OF
butter a DAY, and cream is being ship
ped in from, neighboring. towns every
day. The mill is. doing q very nice
business turning out Pride of CARR
son" flour.
The. better farming movement has
accomplished a great deal Of good
among the farmers. Eight farmers
clubs are doing splendid work among
their own members. About 100 farm
ers have agreed to assist in the work,
by tying out new methods. There will
be about 10000 acres of corn raised
in that vicinity this year. Twenty
Ave boys are. entered in the acre yield
corn contest. while about 100 r en-
tered in the 500 Line potato contest.
Nearly 400 school children have enter
ed the various contests put on by the
association This all speaks well for
the progressive nature Of the farmers
of that community. Manager Stanley
that the coming corn show this
fall bids fail to eclipse any other show
of similar nature ever held In this part
of the state.
On June 2, a special car loaded with
Iandseekers will arrive from Illinois
and on the same day a special train
of MINNEAPOLIS business men viii visit
the town. These are but a few of the
special features that will he pulled off
in the best little town Of the north
west this summer, and will all help to

VERY CASE HAS BEEN
STARTED AT GRAFTON

Grafton, N. D., April 17.-The pre-
ltminary hearing Of H. C. Very, for
mer cashier Of the Farmers Security
bank Of Park River. charged by the
bank with the embezzlement of notes
of the Northern Fire &c Marine Insur-

tice Murphy.
Very was represented by Henry
OKeefe, jr., Of Grand. Forks and w.
S. Lauder of Wahpeton; while States
Atty. H. c. DePew OF Walsh coun-
ty appeared for the prosecution.
The contention of the defense in
the case is that the transaction was
a personal one between Very and
the insurance company in which the
bank was In no way concerned, the
notes having been sent to Very for
collection in his private capacity.
This is denied by the bank which
claims that the notes were sent to
Very as cashier of the bank and that
the proceeds Of the collection were to
be deposited therein.
There are two civil actions pending
in connection with the dealings Of the
insurance company with Very, one
being a suit by the company against

New strains OF alfalfa are being de-

Splendid results have been secured
in corporation with the farmers who
have been sent samples of Grirnrn's al
falfa. OF the reports of 81 of these
farmers the results indicated an
average of 90 pounds OF seed secured
per acre. One yield was as low as III
pounds per acre and as high as
four bushels of seed per acre. OF

SilO Helps this Farmer

C. L. Morgan, Of Rock Ridge neigh
borhood, about seven miles northeast Of
Keota, is strong advocate Of the silo
for the farm dairy. Last season he
constructed an oblong pit silo, choosing
this form because of the ease with
which it could be dug. and he is frank
in saying that it was the only thing that
made it possible for him to successfully
carry his cows thru the winter. He
filled the pit with corn fodder in bun
dies, and the spoilage was slight; altho
somewhat moro than it would have been
with cut ensilage in round silo. He
has little corn this season; but expects
to reconstruct his silo, making two
round pits, for next year.
Mr.. Morgan is cooperating with Prof.
H. w. Campbell, the soil culture OK
pert, in tillage experiments. He has
about the 7th of July. and some corn
planted near the last of June, all of
which is growing splendidly. This il all
on ground plowed in May and titled fre-
quently since, so that it is exceptionally
free from weeds. This ground has .
perfect mulch of loose soil, with no sign
of a crust, due to the tillage methods
used, and is quite moist to a depth Of
several feet, altho the total measured
rainfall at the Morgan place since jan
uary is only four inches. Another
field has been cared for in the same
way, and will be planted to winter
wheat. Mr.. Morgan is also a strong
believer in row alfalfa, and has had two
fairly good cuttings this year from his
alfalfa of last seasons planting.
