The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1916-06-22

Last Sunday one of our citizens, a popular young man of this
city was drowned III Devils Lake and up to this time he sleeps in a

cover the body: The heartbroken parents and relatives have done
what they could in the matter. but to no avail. They cannot rest
IN the fact that their boy is still at the bottom of the lake instead
of havinb a Christian burial, which would in a measure relieve
their grief stricken minds. Notwithstanding this fact our mayor
has had time to hold night seances with various ward healers" to
Ise how they could carry the city for this candidate or that candi-
date, and he has even had time to write a proclamation asking the
people to give their time over to holiday in order to entertain his
pet candidate for Governor. We are prone to do any kicking either
against a private individual or a public official, unless there is a
kick coming, but in this case it seems to us that our city officials
should have taken some united action long ago toward recovering
the body Of this young man. Suppose it was your boy; how would

WHEN IN DOUBT, CULTIVATE

The prospects are that this will be a better season for small
grains than for corn. Perhaps not, but it looks that way. But
last year was not regarded as a good year for corn, and yet some
who produced that corn did so by means of thorough cultivation.
Of course, there were other elements. There were the thorough
of the seed bed and the selection of good seed and some
other things, none of which can safely be overlooked. But, when
all other necessary conditions have complied with, the corn crop
should in any year without thorough and persistent cultivation.
corn crop is to clean the soil. Tillage destroys the seeding weeds
and brings others to the position where they will terminate, to be
killed in turn. Cultivation admits needed air to the soil, and pro-
vides one means for the accumulation of nitrogen. And cultiva-
keeps the moisture in the soil from evaporatng, and holds it av-
ailable for the uses of the plant. When in doubt, cultivate.
