In the write-up of the flowing wells

in diameter and it has flowed over the
top ever since it was dug over two
years ago. We are certainly in the
artesian basin and more of our farmers
should take advantage of this fact
and secure a flowing well.-Estelline

The White ball team disbanded
Wednesday of last week, July 2Sth,
after one of the most successful sea-
sons in the history of it's organization.
Albert Puhr, the manager, made it a
winning team from the start and a
great deal Of credit is due him for the
big results of the seasons work. The
boys have been playing great ball and
out of % games played won IS, or a
percentage of $40. Their last game of
the season with Brookings was a fit
ting climax to the fine work they have
been doing. They made their oppon-
ents bite the dust shutting them out
with only one error against them (and
this an eXcusable one) to seven errors
for the visitors.-White Leader.
That crops have not been injured to
n extent by recent wet weather, that
big yields are being harvested and that
corn, though still backward is grow
ing rapidly and doing well is the sum-
mary Of the weeks report of crop and
weather conditions made by NJ. E.
Blystone, government meterologist at
Huron. The report follows: Cool
weather prevailed during the week ex-
cept in the middle portion, when it was
moderately warm. Showers were of
frequent occurrence. Many of these
were heavy and some excessive. The
sunshine was considerably less than
normal. The ground is very wet, caus-
ing haying and harvesting as well as
other farm work to be interrupted.
Crops generally are doing well. The
harvesting of winter wheat, rye, bar
ley ard oats has been in progress, ex-
cept Were interrupted by wet weather.
In some localities the harvesting of
these crops has been practically COM
plete, with a large yield. Spring wheat
is r~ipening and much of it is ready for
cutting. Dry weather is needed for
this work however as the ground is
soft due to the wet weather. Some
grain has lodged but damage from this
cause is generally reported not to be
serious. Corn is still backward, due to
cool and wet weather, but it is grow
ing rapidly and looks we'll. Meadows
and pastures are in excellent condi-
ton and stock continues in prime con-
dition.
