Placing fourth and second In the
Crosby Invitational and District /
meets respectively the Wildcat track
squad is resting the first part of the
week in preparation for the Big 4
contest at Culbertson Saturday.
A fairly large squad will make the
trip to the main line with several
candidates that have good prospects
of placing in the meet. Ward Peter
son is the favorite in the golf meet
but will have plenty of opposition in
Hagen Of Culbertson. Stenmark is
expected to place in the distance
events and Collins and Cybulski
should place in the weight events.
Other men that are certain Of maxi
ing the trip and are likely point get
ters are Lindberg, Hueth, Ewing,
Wagnild, Salisbury and Parker.
In a track meet held at Crosby the
Wildcats registered II points to take
fourth place In the meet. Bowbells
placed first with 81 and one-fifth,
Kenmare second with 81 and Crosby
third with 80 and two-fifths. Backer
Of Plentywood chalked up a double
victory in the sprints winning the 100
yd. dash in 1877 seconds and the 22O
yd. dash in 26.5 seconds. The fact
that Backer wal not seriously pushed
in the 220 accounts for the slow time
made. Collins registered a surprise
to the squad when he threw the jave-
lin 1879 feet 9 inches to easily lead
the field in this event.
In the half mile Stenmark came

Trees must be planted on clean,
well worked soil, containing a reas-
enable amount of moisture at plant

Of grass and weeds by cultivating
until the trees have grown big
enough so that further cultivation is
unnecessary. The demonstration

Lack of moisture and soil blowing
has been the dominating cause of de-
lay in getting seed into the ground.

that conditions have been favorable
for seeding. Fall rains, which slight
ed other sections of the county left
