NO BLACK RUST IS FOUND
IN CAVALIER COUNTY CROP
Investigation Shows Damage to Late Crops is
Confined to Weather Conditions

Since the closing of the county fair
last week j. w. Haw, of this city
and Th. j. Kristjansen, of Milton,
the field agents in this county of the
better farming association, have been
making quite an extensive investiga-
tion over different parts of the county
as to the extent that existing weather
conditions and probable damage from
rust affected the crop conditions of
Cavalier county.
Regarding his trip of three days,
covering large part OF the western
portion of the county, Mr.. Haw stat
ed that all small grain crops, more
particularly the late sown barley and
oats have appreciably fallen off in
condition the past week, owing he
believes to the long period of exces-
sive hot weather which has prevailed
with scarcely any let up since the
beginning of July. Following the
cool damp weather of the preceding
month all the small grains as we'll as
the corn crop were badly in need of
warm weather to fill and ripen the
crop as it headed out, but wheat,
oats and barley unfortunately appear
to have been at the stage when the
heat was most excessive about week
ago-that the development of the
berry in the heads suffered to the ex-
tent that the top half of the head of
much of small grain crop will not fill
The out look has not been for a big
crop this year and the best acreage
yield is certain to come from the
earlier sown fields, they being further
/ advanced and better able to withstand
the long spell of hot dry weather of
j the past three weeks. Take the crop
as whole rain at this time would do
much to improve the outlook with the
approach of harvest AS to black
rust Mr.. Haw stated that il existed
only in talk SO far as this county is
concerned. He states the red, or
orange leaf rust, is to be found here
every year and if a damp atmosphere
should prevail from now until the
time harvesting starts it may cause
some damage.

during the fair did business that
brought the gross receipts to over $500
and more people could have been serv-
ed with meals had he been able to get
adequate help. Considering that Mr..
Tourand only decided two days before
the fair opened to take the conces-
sion, owing to the scarcity of help,
the venture was highly successful.
Those who took meals there say that
Mr.. Tourand as caterer to the
multitude is the best ever.
Among the more distinguished of
the out of town visitors here to at
tend last weeks county fair in an
official capacity representing other
fairs over the northern part of the
state were Secretary Wilson and
Director Berthaiume, of the Bottineau
Fair Association; Director Taylor of
the fair association of Towner county !;
President Paige and Secretary of the
Pembina county fair and Hon. r. F.
Flint, the state commissioner of
agriculture and labor from Bismarck.
The latter gentleman acted in the
capacity of judge of butter and other
food products in the dairy exhibit and
having held the appointive position of
state dairy commissioner previous to
his election to the Office he now holds
Mr.. Flint naturally was the right
man in the right place.
In eulogizing the different features
that went to make Cavalier county g
eighth annual fair such an unqualified
success at least passing mention
should be made of the music furnished
during the fair by the Walhalla band,
the quality was of the best, there was
no stint in quantity and all of the
musicians from the 'Halla showed
themselves to be gentlemen and the
best of good fellows.

A DOuBLE-HEADER WEDDING
WAS BIG EVENT AT WALES
St. Michael's Church Scene of Two
Happy Matrimonial Events On
Tuesday Forenoon

There were two weddings at St.
Micbael's church at Wales on Tuesday
last week. At eight O'Clock Father
Olszewski officiated at the ceremony
in the Hennessey-Sweeney nuptials,
the bride being Miss May Hennessey,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. P Garrity,
of the vicinity of Clyde and Mr.. Miles
Sweeney, of Duluth. The bride has
a wide acquaintance among the people
of the vicinity of Wales, having had
charge of the postoffice there until
her removal to Duluth to accept a
position about six months ago. Mr..
and Mrs. Sweeney took the afternoon
train from Clyde for wedding trip
east before going to their home in
Duluth. where they will be at home
to friends after September 1st.
At nine O'Clock followed the we'd
ding service of the church which unit
ed the hearts and hands of Miss Olive
Messner and Mr.. Simon Fritz, both
o. the contracting parties in this
happy event having lived in the
neighborhood the greater part of their
lives. The family home Of the bride
is east of Wales where a sumptuous
wedding dinner was served the bridal
party following the ceremony at the
church. The home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fritz will be near Wales, where Mr..
Fritz has for some time been engaged
in farming. The parties to this
double-header matrimonial event at
Wales of last week have the congrat.
ulations and good wishes of this paper
and host of friends extended them.

A RECORD BREAKING CROWD
ATTEND 1916 COUNTY FAIR
There Was Crowd of Nearly Seven
Thousand People On Grounds
Thursday Afternoon

The Cavalier county fair of 1916,
which opened last Wednesday and
reached the successful conclusion of
a three days fair Friday evening,
brought to the city the biggest crowd
of visitors ever entertained in the
city. The fair Of last week was by
long odds the best and biggest attend
ed of any held in the eight years since
the Cavalier county fair association
was first organized, eight years ago
in 1908.
The entries in all of the Depart
ments of the fair held the record over
any previous fair, and although the
association is we'll equipped with
buildings on the fair grounds space in
each of the ten departments was
crowded to the limit.
The first days attendance would
indicate there were not less than
seven thousand visitors at the fair on
Thursday and the fact that the pro-
gram of attractions the second day
was the best offering of the two may
be given as the reason of such an
exceptionally large attendance on the
fair grounds Friday. The association
as result is able to show gross
receipts at the fair of So, 69S. O3,
which after meeting expenses,
amounting to approximately So, 100. :
O3, will leave a balance in the
fair associations treasury of about
$568. O3.
Until next week twill be impos.
sible to give our readers list of the
awards of the judges for exhibits in
the various departments. 1t will suffice
to say that both the horse and live
stock barns were filled to capacity.
Mr.. Thos. Patterson, of St. Paul, who
is this week acting in the same
capacity at the state fair at Grand
Forks, judged the horse exhibit and
he gave to the exhibit of horses here
the fattering endorsement that the
showing was second to none anywhere
in the state. Mr.. Patterson came to
Langdon from Crookston, where he
oficiated as judge of horses at the
fair held last week. The excellent
showing of many different breeds of
cattle and hogs was judged by Mr..
George Bell from across the line at
Deloraine, Man., who has been a
visitor at the Cavalier county fair for
a number of years past and acted in
the same capacity at the fair Of year
ago. MIR. Bell left here for Bot
tineau, where his services as judge Of
the live stock exhibit are being made
use of this week.

Despite the extreme hot weather

Despite the extreme hot weather
during fair week being against lssany
stock breeders bringing exhibits to
the fair nearly all classes of cattle,
sheep and hogs were represented this
year. A notable showing being the
carload shipped from the Milton stock
farm of Mr.. j ohm Wild and another car
sent from the farms at Hannah of C.
B. Mcmillan and Jas. Austin. The
showing of sheep this year was con-
siderably larger than in former years.
Among the new exhibitors being the
Evans Bros, Thos. Gray and Ed.
Hill. There were also prize winners
from the flocks of Memo Liebeler and
T. Hartzell. The Duroc-Jerseys again
had the lead this year in the showing
of hogs and those from the farm of ].
j. Mahonev., Jas. Austin of Hannah
and Tom Hartzell being all contend
ers for honors from the judges.
The agricultural building, in which
were embraced the display of poultry,
vegetables and grasses was something
that not single visitor to the fair
missed seeing. The largest poultry
entry was made by Cecil Mcdonald,
son of Alex. Mcdonald. who had a
fine showing of ducks and geese as
we'll as several varieties of chickens.
The garden product showing though
perhaps not as large as it would have
been had the fair been held a couple
of weeks later included displays made
by C. ]. Coyle of Elkwood and John
Boldly of Mona, both worth looking
over by anyone who appreciates the
advanced cultivation which the soil
and climate of northern North Dakota
is capable of in raising garden truck.
The best thing in this department,
however, was the group exhibit Of
farm and garden products entered by
the West Hope farmers club, an easy
winner of the $25 premium offered.
The showing made by this club would
make telling demonstration in the
east to convince the people there of
what North Dakota is able to yield
from its rich soil.
In the woman's building the class
and quality of the showing of needle
work of all kinds and cookery was
fully up to if not surprising the dis
play of these lines at previous fairs,
while the arrangement of the ex-
hibits entitle Mesdames Moran and
Ober, the respective superintendent
in charge to much credit for the skill
and taste shown. Nearly one-half of
the woman's building was taken up
with the educational exhibit made by
pupils from schools in nearly every
part of Cavalier county and grouped
for display in an effective manner
that classified the various branches of
work to the best advantage by Co.
Supt. Reher and his corps of helpers.
In the afternoons of both days of
the fair the grand stand was filled
with . Tush by as many as it would

leading racing stables over the state

county filled all races with good field
of starters. In the 2:4O trot there
were seven starters, which no doubt
had something to do with the mix-up
in the first heat when Chester H. and
his driver were compelled to retire
with a broken wheel of the sulky.
Except for the time taken in warm

SUICIDE OF FARMER NEAR
WALES EARLY YESTERDAY
Had Ample Means and Comfortable
Happy Home But Ends His Life
Life With Rifle Bullet

George Meyer. who farms three
quarter sections three miles east of
Wales in South Dresden township
suicided yesterday morning about nine
O'Clock. The weapon with which the
man ended his life is stated as being
a small % calibre rifle, the wound
being in such fatal location that he
rapidly lost consciousness and was at
the point of death before DR.. Strom-
berg, the corner and States Attorney
Crimson could be hurried to the
Meyer farm.
Meyer, who is a man of about
forty-five years old has been a resi-
dent of the vicinity of Wales several
yeras and purchased the fine farm
and buildings of w. H. Chase at the
time of the latter removing to Mon.
tana to engage in business. The inn
mediate Meyer family includes the
widow and six children, three boys
and three girls. His neighbors as
we'll as the family were aware that
Meyer was subject to fits of despon-
dency and it evidently was while
under one of these spells that the
determination was reached to commit
the deed.
Judging from where the man was
found lying when the discharge of the
gun gave the alarm to the family
Meyer had taken the rifle from the
house and gone TO the north side of
the machine shed. farthest away from
his home and there shot himself.
That the act had been premeditated
is shown by all his arrangements,
which included the leaving of check
for $500 made out to his wife and
marked for funeral expenses.
Meyer was one of the we'll to dc
| farmers of the settlement in which he
lived. Was never known to have
any family quarrels and was in good
circumstances as is shown by the fact
that part of his last years crop was
still in the granary. He also had {
substantial deposit to his credit at the
J Wales bank and was in debt to ne
one.
Those who had noted his recent
behavior say the way in which the
weather of the past week had affected
the crop was bothering him in exactly
the way that he acted some two O.
three months ago when the grain
market went off and wheat that hat
