'28 RAIN RECORD
FOR co. ERRATIC

A summary of the reports on
rainfall received at the county ex-
tension office from ten cooper
ators well scattered over Roose-
welt county indicates one of the
most erratic seasons yet recorded.
A wide differential is noted be-
tween the highest station and the
lowest. The highest for--the per-
iod from April to September is
1854 inches reported by George
Piercy at Bainville and the lowest
for the same period is 745 inches
reported by Veda Laroche of
April and May are recorded as
having less than one inch Of rain
fall in the two months, low rec
ord for this two months period
since the weather records were
started in this section SO years
ago. June and July show a total
rainfall of S.63, a high record for
these two months. The last two
August and September
again show a total of less than
one inch for this sixty day period.
According to the reports sent
in, Roosevelt county received an
average total rainfall for the per-
iod from April to September of
1914 inches. Comparing this with
records of past seasons, we find
but few years when this has been
exceeded. Among these are the
years 1928, 1921, 1916 and 1914,
Ill remembered as good crop
years.
The summary shows that Roose-
velt county has received less than
tverage fall moisture in the sea-
'on of 1928, a fact which may be
# considerable Importance in the
lext season.

CHILD SICKNESS
NEEDS WATCHING

Colds, coughs and sickness of
varying degrees of seriousness
pervade the city, especially among
children. Parents will do well to
watch closely their children for
symptoms of contagious diseases,
such as scarlet fever, whooping
cough and chicken pox. II taken
care of and isolated such diseases
are usually easily handled. The
danger comes in letting them run
and exposing other children. A
child who has any of the symp-
toms of fever or throat trouble
should be kept at home few
days. Even if it is only severe
cold, these children should not be
allowed to mingle with other chill
dren, either at school or on the
streets. 1t is far better that a few
children be kept home a few days
each than that an epidemic should
gain foothold and compel the
schools to close for several weeks.
Superintendent Livingston, at
whose suggestion this warning is
sent out, says that there is too
much inclination to send children
to school when they are coughing
and show the possibility Of the
first stages of some sort of i'll
ness. 1t is unfair to children and
parents who are disposed to re-
gard precautions, for others to ex-
pose them by coming to school
when they should be home. The
safest way is to call physician
and learn the condition of the |
child. Supt Livingston says that
last year the small pox epidemic
got out of control and nearly |
wrecked the school,

Duroc Jerseys bred and fed by
Mr.. Williams and shipped to the
Fulton Commission Co. at Port
land.
Reporting this award and sale
the Fulton Commission Co. state
that the hogs did not arrive until
six days after shipment and for
that reason did not show as well
as they should With this handi-
cap it was very close contest
between this and another car for
second place.
When placed on sale, Mr.. Will
liams' hogs brought SLIPS per
cwt. compared to s1100 for the
second prize hogs and S11.50 for
the Grand champion load This
two dollar premium over market
price Mr. Williams feels compen-
safes him for his extra work and
feed in preparing this carload.
Fine Record
This entire carload of hogs was
produced by Mr. William on his
farm east of Culbertson using
registered Duroc boar and sows
that are eligible for registry. The
carload was produced by eleven
sows and were farrowed between
April II and May 2.
During the summer the pigs
were carried through on sweet
clover and rye pasture with some
additional grain. The finishing
feed consisted of Gehu flint corn
and barley, the barley being fed
unground in troughs and the corn
picked and fed on the ground at
noon. In addition to the grain
feed, these hogs received about
thirty pounds of oil meal and tan
kage daily. Plenty of water was
on hand at all times.
