Mottled heavily by the brush Of
the camofleur, and driven by two
members of the United States Tank
corps and showing scars of bullets,
an American "whippet" tank visited
the city on Tuesday of this week.
The tank was sent here in the in
terests of the Victory Liberty Loan
and is one of fleet of 20 that are
operating in various parts of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District.
Spends Day Here
The tank arrived upon fiat car
over the Great Northern r. r. Tues
day morning from Stanley where they
had spent the previous day and was
unloaded about noon by Soldiers
Buchanan and Connely who are in
charge of it. These two "Yanks"
have both seen service in France
Williston graphic., 1919-04-10

and are experts in the handling Of
this little machine. The tank. which
is equipped with the latest model
Marlin Rockwell machine gun in its
turret is capable of making about
twelve miles per hour. It is 16 feet
long, weighs tons and can show a
Rocky Mountain Goat some things
about getting over impossible trails.
After unloading at the depot the
tank was driven up to the corner of
Broadway and Main Street where it
remained for inspection till the early
part of the afternoon.
Banquet At Noon
At noon a banquet was held at the
Great Northern Cafe at which the
two young tank drivers were guests
of several of the bankers of Williams
county who are aiding in the putting

on of the Victory Loan. It was here
that the boys related some Of their
experiences in the army both in this
country and in France. They are glad
to be back in good old U. 8. A. again
and expect to be discharged from the
army as soon as they finish their tour
in the interests of the Victory Loan.
In commenting on the tank warfare
Soldier Buchanan stated, that, "when
the armistice was signed United
States had enough Of these tanks
in France to place one every seventy
five feet on the Western Front. And
had not the war ended at this time
they would have made tank charge
on November 18th. that would have
landed the boys in Berlin, as the Ger
mans didn't have anything that could
stop them"
Williston graphic., 1919-04-10

During the afternoon the boys
demonstration with the tank upon
the Main Street and entertained the
school children after $3.50 in the af-
ternoon. U. l.. Burdick was slated
for talk from the top of the tank
but when an attempt was made by
him to mount to the top Of the ma
chine he met with a volley of snow
balls from the hands of the school
children and was forced to retreat
and give up his chance to talk to the
public on the Victory Loan.
To Tour Montana -
The tank left here yesterday morn
ing for Poplar, Mont, where it will
be on exhibition and from there will
be shown in many Of the cities of
Montana before it returns to Mime
apolis.

IRRIGATION NOW CERTAIN

Continued from page ~
and ordered the work stopped but,
whether as result Of telegram
from the Irrigation District officials
or not, the Secretary evidently re-
versed his decision.
Up to the Local People
Many communities would spend
much time and money to secure an
enterprise that would employ men
and circulate money in the commun-
ity, even if they "broke even" in the
effort. Here we have an enterprise
established in which every cent of
the expenditure remains and -circu-
lates at home. In addition the City
is earning a reasonable, if not
handsome profit, on electrical energy
furnished from the Reclamation Ser
vice plant.
Now it is pretty largely up to the
local people whether or not this en-
terprise shall thrive. Shall we boost
or knock? Shall we be patient and
help the thing firmly to its feet this
year or shall we by continual indif-
ference invite failure for the enter
prise and its withdrawal from our
midst? @ ..-..,
We may have so-called "wet sea-
son." Shall we forget the past three
lean years which might have been
years Of abundance? Shall we en-
courage the continued holding of idle
land by non-residents or shall we
try to get actual farming residents
and citizens on these lands?
For Gods sake let's wake up be-
fore the Goose that lays the Golden
Egg has been killed."

WET WEATHER
HAS RETARDED CROPS

The prolonged and excessive wet
weather throughout May has retarded
the planting of crops, says the June
report of the State. Agriculture De-
partment, just issued. With % DAYS
of rain in May, preparation of the
soil for planting of crops has been
next to impossible. Wheat is some
what damaged and not as high a
yield is expected as the early condi-
tons warranted. However, the con-
| dltion as state average is 81 per
cent, which is per cent less than this
time last year. Rye shows up some
what better with a condition of 81
percent as compared with SO per cent
in 1918. Barley is an exceptionally
small crop in this state and but few
reports are made on same Condi-
ton is given at 95 per cent
Anticipated acreage. of corn is
given at SO per cent. Owing to the
continued and wet weather, the prepa-
ration of the ground was greatly de-
layad and the condition of ground
of June LIST was Sc per cent. It is
estimated that 81 per cent of plant
ing of corn has been done, but some
ground remains yet unbroken. Con-
dltion of growing corn is ~ per cent.
Some replanting of early corn will be
necessary in localities.
Oats is 81 cent per which is 6 per
cent lower than last year, while con-
dition is 95 per cent. Hemp acreage
has fallen very low with practically
about lilo of reports coming in on
this crop as is customary. The few
reports give the acreage at Ill per
cent, with ts/condition at 90. The
estimated acreage planned of hurley
tobacco is 81 per cent, which is Is per
cent less than last years estimate.
Condition of plants is SS per cent,
with about 81 per cent of crop set.
Dark tobacco acreage planned is
given at, 81 per cent, which is 10 per
cent less than estimated in 1918. Con
dition of plants is given at 90 perl
cent with "a per cent of crop set.
Blue grass, SO per cent.
Clover, SO per cent.
Orchard grass, SO per cent.
Alfalfa, 90. per cent.
First cutting of alfalfa has made a. |
fair yield.
The general outlook for yield of hay
is given at 81 per cent.
Expected acreage of soy beans is
80 per cent, while of cow peas is SO |
per cent.
Live stock show in good condition,
the same being 81 per cent of nor
NAL, while poultry only shows at sol
per cent.
The early frost has proven veryI
disastrous to fruit in most localities,
and short crop may be expected
with the exception of black berries.
Conditions of fruits are as follows.
Apples, 81 per cent.
Peaches, 81 per cent.
Pears, 48 per cent,
Plums, SO per cent.
Grapes, IS per cent.
Biackberries, 101 per cent.
Only about 81 per cent of a straw
berry crop was reported.
Garden conditions are low, owing to
