marriage to Frank Doege. A year
later they came to the United

Refreshing Showers
Break Severe Heat
Not Sufficient Rainfall To Benefit
Pastures or Corn-Some
Crops Fair

Cooling breezes, refreshing show
ers, and restful nights are here at
least temporarily as real relief
from the heat came Sunday morn
ing when a shower swept away the
heat of the past two weeks. Early
that morning showers came upon
this sector followed by moderate
rains that evening. Since then res
idents have noted a moderation in
temperatures many degrees cooler.
While the drouth augmented by
the extreme heat has damaged
crops no end, threshing has begun
in this section. South of this city
fair crops are reported in the
heavy-soiled lands. The high lands
and lighter soiled farms have suf-
fered to an extent of nearly to-
tai loss. Hope is still held that with
rains the corn may come through
enough for ensilage and relieve the
feed problem which faced the far
mers of this section two years ago.
While the rains that fell early
this week were insufficient to re-
lieve the drouth appreciably, they
did down the heat relieving the
tension gripping this sector. We'd
nesday saw temperatures up con-
siderably from the early part of
the week, and promises of more of
the torrid wave by the weather
man are looked upon with disfa-
yOr.

NOTIFICATIONS IN SOIL
CONSERVATION PROGRAM

The County Agents office, St.
Cloud, received a few notifications
to the soils program which have a
bearing on the drought situation in
the county. These are as follows:
1. Good Stand of Soil-Conserv-
ing Crop on Land from Which A
Grain Hay or Annual Legume Hay
Is Harvested Is Classed as Soil
Conserving.-Land from which a
crop of grain hay or annual legume
hay, such as soybrans and field
peas, has been harvested in 1896
will be classified as soil-conserving
provided a good stand of a soil
conserving crop is growing on this
land when performance is checked
later in the year. The kind, rate,
and time of seeding the soil-con-
serving crop will be subject to re-
concentrations made by the State
Agricultural Conservation Commit
tee.
This provision will not only add
to the production of feed and
roughage on farms in the corn
belt this year but by encouraging
late summer and early fall seedlings
of legumes and grasses, it will Of
fer a definite incentive to farmers
to take steps this year to provide
for pasture and hay crops in 1881
and thereby get back to a more
normal acreage of soil-conservins
crops.
It is further pointed out that g
good stand of legumes ana grasses
this coming winter and early spring
will tend to prevent wind and wa
ter erosion on land that otherwis;
might be void of vegetation because
of drought.
2. Proof of Performance Other
Than A Good Stand-Farmers WHIT
have seeded soil conserving crop!
in accordance with good farming
practice but who have lost such
crops because of drought, insec
infestations, or other condition!
beyond their control, may qualif!
for soil conserving and soil build
ing payments on this land. It wi.
be necessary, however, that these
farmers provide sufficient evidenc;
that soil conserving crops are seed
ed in accordance with good farm
ing practice. Prior to this modifi
cation, a good stand of soil con
serving crops constituted the onl!
acceptable proof of performance il
the North Central Region.
