DANIELS COUNTY
FARMERS REPORT
LITTLE MOISTURE

Scobey.-Farmers who have been
planning on getting into the field
earlier than usual in the season are
pleased with every flake of snow that
falls and are hoping for a good rain
ON of those drizzling spring show
ers that will last for about three
days.
There appears to be little moisture
in the fields and those who planned
on doing considerable breaking report
conditions unfavorable for that work
With practically no rain since last
July no plowing of any consequence
was done last fall, and unless there
should be an abundance of spring
rains there will be little plowing this
spring, especially on the benches.
Not Discouraged
The farmers are, on the whole, how.
ever, not at all discouraged. The
time seasonable rains are what count
they claim, and there will be no ap
preciable let up on account of present
conditions.
The moisture this season must
however, come from the surface, mos
of the farmers claim, as there is non,
to speak of in the subsoil. The grounc
froze dry, where it did freeze, ant
the warm spring winds soon whip th,
fields dry of the little moisture tn,
snow left.

SEEDING STARTS
EARLY NEXT WEEK

Froid, March 29.-The past week of
sunshine is bringing on an early
spring, and much farming activity is
going on in preparation to start
spring work, says the Froid Tribune
of March 28th. The frost is practical
ly out of the ground and the fields
will be dry enough to permit going
into within a few days. 1t is said
that seeding will start on many farms
early next week. The ground is wet
enough from the recent snow to per-
NIT plowing where summerfallowing
was not done last summer. Tractors
by the dozen are going out in all di-
rections and farm work will be done
almost entirely by the tractor method.
Local oil stations are already doing a
big business in gas and lubricants.
The acreage of wheat and flax is
expected to greatly exceed that of
last season. Many have leased reser-
walton lands and are going into the
game on larger scale than ever re-
gardless of the fact that the present
moisture is very limited.

The ambassador had a disturbed
night on Thursday. His daughter-in-
law telephoned Friday morning fox
DIR. H. Rabeau, assistant to the regu-
lar physician of Mr.. Herrick, who was
in southern France. The diagnosis of
DIR. Rabeau was a bronchial attack
and he gave medicine to relieve the
spasms of coughing. DESTROYS OF
other opinions, he summoned Profess
sor Vaquez and DIR. P. Ferrey-Polles,
two bronchial and lung specialists. One
of these three always was at the
home until death.
DR.. Ferrey-Polles Sunday morning
informed Mrs. Herrick, a daughter
in-law, that the condition of the am
bassador was critical She immediate
ly telephoned her husband in Cleve-
land, telling him of the serious turn.
She previously had informed him by
cable of the illness of his father.
Besides Mrs. Herrick, with the am
bassador when the end came were
Madam Salembier, his private secre-
tary for many years, Bradford, his

From a humble business career in
Ohio he had become governor of that
state, was offered cabinet posts and
was selected by two presidents as am
bassador to France. Mr.. Herrick had
not been in robust health for some
time but was not seriously i'll until
"a hours before his death. A slight
bronchial attack, such as those froT1
which he had frequently suffered,
caused a heart collapse. His daughter
in-law, Mrs. Parmely Herrick, was
with him. His son was in Cleveland,
Ohio.
Conscious until half an hour before
he died, the ambassador was cheerful,
chatty, and soilcitous about engage
ments ahead. Then he suddenly col
lapsed. He never rallied from the
heart stroke.
Mr.. Herrick on Tuesday had walked
bareheaded in the Foch funeral cor

Extreme apathy featured the city

1OU votes out of a possible 700 were
cast: DIR. Storlan defeated E. E. Be
IahSSl, present mayor, by a majority
u ~ votes. 1t is said that the new

neved that the present Chief of Police
george Pierce will be retired and an
0Iner O3 man appointed in his place.
1here are those who claim to be in
Ine know, who intimate that Oscar
collins will be the new chief, but still
tnere are others who make the same
claims who say that the chief will be
an entirely new man. Quite a num-
per OF the leading business men of the

elevation of Collins to the post OF

Voted on.

The regular school election will be
held in Plentywood tomorrow Sat-
urday) at the high school building in
Plentywood for the purpose of elect
ing two trustees for three-year terms
and also one trustee for one-year
term to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Albert Kollman when
he assumed the office of County
Treasurer.
The matter of 20 mill additional
tax besides the 10 mills allowed by
law will also come at this election.
The proponents of this measure say
that this is the same rate of taxation
which prevails at this time and that
the 20 mills is absolutely necessary
to keep up the present standard of
schools in Plentywood and that in
fact serious consequences would come
to the Plentywood school system if
this proposal is turned down.
Only taxpaying freeholders car
vote on this important measure anC
for the good Of the schools it is be
lieved that the measure will pass b!
huge majority as property in Plen
tywOod is based to a large degree OF
the high standards of our schools
which adds incentive to people locat
ing in this city when looking for ;

school facilities.
