Why They Do Not Get Carried Away
Out Into Deep Waters.
II you watch Il school of minnows in
some stream that has u strong and
swift current you will see that they
always head upstream. The reason
Is plain. Only by constantly swim
ming against the current can the brook
fish remain a brook fish and not final
ly be carried out to sea, as the brook
empties into Il river, ind the river
empties into the ocean. But we cam
not suppose that the brook fish knows
that this will happen il it weakly al
lows the stream to carry it along. The
young minnow is born with the in
stinct to resist the flow of the brook,
The most natural supposition would
be that the instinct amounts to a tell
dency to push against the pressure
of the water, but experiments have
shown that 1t is not the sense of
touch, but the OF sight that
plays the important part. The instinct

Ole Aleckson, whose farm is a mile
west of Calvin, narrowly escaped the
loss of his threshing outfit and a bin
of 1900 bushels of oats just threshed,
Monday afternoon of last week, when
a spark from the smokestack of his
engine set the straw pile afre.
Tom Barry is credited with hauling
in the first load of the 1915 crop at
O%snabrock. 1t was barley and ar
average sample of the yield which the
large acreage of this grain is giving
in this section of the county, where
crops of all kinds are showing a good

nephews who enlisted with the Cana

on account of being wounded.
There has been no shortage of men
for threshing at Wales as the COM
mercial club hit upon a system which
h~eaded-off the demand for men that
other towns along the line complain
Of. They have a mar at Grand Forks

ing that point get their tickets
through to Wales and have autoes in
waiting there to take them to jobs
right off the train.
From Union, in the extreme south
eastern corner Of the county, it is
learned that Montrose township has
the finest and most ven crop heard OF
in a number of years. Both harvest.
ing and threshing are practically com
pleted. The average yield for wheat
is % bushels and barley turned out
As bushels and better per acre. The
mark reached by oats was usually &C
bushels to the acre or better.
