WHEAT CROP
50 PERCENT

Advices received from prominent
farmers throughout this section of
the Slope country indicate that not
more than so per cent crop of
wheat will be produced this season,
predictions as to the yield varying
from rs to rs per cent. Lack of
moisture has evidently sounded the
death knell of hopes for bumper
crop, which was freely predicted a
few weeks back. Heavy rain of July
4th,, general in this section, appar-
emily arrived too late to be Of the
greatest benefit to the wheat crop,
though it will be of great value in
increasing the yield of flax, potatoes
and late garden truck. Much rain
fell in many portions of the surround
ing country and Dickinson was visited
by two heavy downpours, the second
one, in the evening, resembling, for
a short time, a miniature cloudburst.
About 10 inch Of rain fell here on
the holiday, according to figures of
the local substation, about one-third
as much as during the entire month
of June, when precipitation of 2.42
inches was recorded.
Much wheat in this vicinity is al
ready heading out, and it is believed
that a large part of it will be too
short to bind. Especially is the early
sown grain hard hit, according to
farmers. Some of the grain which
was put in later appears to stand
better chance of a big yield. Pfos-
poets for a good yield of flax seem
brighter, as the rain came in time to
give this crop a new lease on life.
Hail caused some injury in the
vicinity of Manning, where the down
fall was heavy Wednesday evening
One motorist who came through there
a short time after the storm asserted
that hail covered the ground to a
depth of nearly an inch. Damage re-
ports are being received, some farm
ers declaring that their crops were
greatly damaged.
The hay crop throughout the entire
state will be one of the shortest in
years, good spring rains necessary for
big yield having been conspicuous
by their absence. Alfalfa is the sole
exception, there being prospect of a
good crop Of this feed.
In some places, declare authorities,
alfalfa will make a good yield where
other hays have died out completely,
because roots of alfalfa go deep for
their moisture and thus are better able
to withstand drouth.
Farmers of the state are advised
to plant all their available land to
fodder corn and millet. Corn planted
this late will not mature, but it will
help increase the food supply by
furnishing fodder. Millet will also
aid in supplying feed, and there is
yet time to sow it. Experts at the
experiment station assert that millet
now will make rapid growth and
choke out weeds, thereby cleaning the
land. Another argument in favor of
sowing millet is that grain crops Go
we'll on millet ground.
Pastures are in poor shape, but the
recent rain will aid greatly in their
recuperation, and another good down.
pour or two will start the grass BOOM
ing.

Speakers to Visit
Dickinson on Tour
Unique In Purpose

visited in one of the most remarkable
tours ever undertaken in North Da-
kota, beginning July 16. Smith
Stimmel, only survivor of President
Lincoln's personal body-guard, and
W. J. Arnold, we'll known temperance
lecturer, will visit this city the latte,
part of July, for the purpose of
presenting to the people in a clear
way the problems which beset Lincoln
in the dark days Of the Civil war,
and to demonstrate Ehow President
Wilson is confronted with many of
these same problems and baseless
criticisms.
The speakers will carry on cam
paign of education, so that the people
may gain a clearer insight as to why
America has entered }the world con-
flict. The tour will be by automobile

ton Karski, residing about rs miles
northwest Of Dickinson, was stolen
from the livery barn of John Myers,

RELIEF WORK
PROGRESSES

Local Red Cross workers are con-
tinuing their efforts unabated and are
putting forth mighty efforts for the
war relief work. Task of organizing
auXiliaries in surrounding towns is
going on apace, and much enthusiasm
for the cause is being manifested in
neighboring cities. All the auxiliaries
organized few weeks ago are thriv-
ing, and adding new members continu-
ally.
Auxiliary was organized at killdecr
last week, two autoloads Of Dickinson
workers visiting that city for the
purpose Of arousing enthusiasm. New
body is an auxiliary of Dickinson
chapter, No. /, and more than score
of members were enrolled on the
evening of organization. A number
have joined since that time.

Dickinson boosters assisted in or
ganization of Red Cross auxiliary at
Medora last Friday evening. Before
organization, an entertainment was
held in Tester hall, use of which was
donated by the Tester Mercantile Co.,
and receipts amounted to $36. A pro-
gram of musical selections and read
ings was given by Paul Lebo, Mrs.
Walter Ray and Norma Olsen. J. w.
Foley gave selections from his writ
ings and the school children sang
national songs. "~,~sa-
The Rev. John Dignam of this city
then gave an inspiring address, tell
ing the objects of the Red Cross and
the aims of the organization during
the present crisis. Father Dignam
also aided in organization of the
auxiliary, with forty-two members
joining. Officers were elected as fol-
lows: Mrs. J. O. Gray, PRESIDENT;
Mrs. N. D. Nichols, vice PRESIDENT;
Miss Mary Follis, secretary; and Mrs.
Ellen Osterhout, treasurer. Besides
receipts from the entertainment, $42
was contributed by the members of

following from Dickinson were in at
tendance: Doctor and Mrs. Bowen,
Mesdames Hauser, Hosfeld and
Washer, Messrs. White and Eisfeldt.
The St. Charles hotel made special
contribution.
Beach Men Donate Acre Yield.
More than a score of Golden Valley
county farmers have agreed to con-
tribute to the acre-yield fund of the
Red Cross. One man agreed to give
the yield from five acres and another
from two acres. It is believed that
the net returns from these contribu-
tions will be from $500 to 81 1850, de-
pending, of course, on yield this seas
on.
Belfield Donates Literally.
Belfeld citizens donated literally to
the Red Cross fund in the campaign
waged there by the committee last
week. Contributions reached a total
of $1,004.7O, and it is asserted that
this is the largest donation, popula-
ton considered, made by any town in
the state, population of Belield being
about 700. The Red Cross organiza-
ton in Belfield is growing rapidly,
and the members are doing great
deal of work for the cause.
Hebron Organizes.
Hebron Red Cross auxiliary was or
ganized last week, and the sum of
$260.1O was collected in short time.
More than 100 enrolled as members
in the new organization there.
Further contributions are expected,
as great many were missed in the
canvass. Supplies have been ordered,
and work will be started by the aux
