Motorists in downtown Sid

Reaction to the new regula-

the motorists seem to like it,
because it gives them more
available parking spaces, Pol

the old regulations and has

but they come in and pay

a good thing. 'The maddest
ones," Moore chuckled, "are
those who get a ticket for i'm

can't park in the lane marked
out they need more parking

Sidney police Saturday eve
ming in response to a call for ,
assistance from sheriff Leroy
Lutz of Williams county, N.
Oak. Lutz asked that local of

said that Van Dahl, who was
reported to be armed and dam
gerous, had committed am arm
ed assault ON a North Dakota

play GROUND LOT CnaC area.
Councilman Don Rees point
ed out that present parks are
not attractive and lack i'm
prowements, and that proceeds
from such a sale could be used
for such Improvements. He
urged the need for better parks
and for long range planning
to place parks in new areas of
city growth.
Other citizens expressed op-
position ito selling off present
parks and urged instead, that
they be kept and improved.
Park Board member, Al Johns,
pointed out that funds are still
available in the park budget,
and is working on a list of
items which can be bought for
800 each, or less. Such a pur-
chase does not require appro-
val of the entire council, but
only the signature of the
councilman who heads the park
department, Con Gedrose.
'It'S robbing Posterity" said
one official referring to the
sale propo S al. Nor G
meetings of the Park Board,
with more active program
for improvement of the pres
ent parks, was also urged, as
we'll as the need for dedicating
of the parks, so that sale coulc
be accomplished only by ap.
proval at a city wide election
At present, only the Centra
Park, opposite the Junior Higl
School, is formally dedicated
but a small park, Brattin Parl
in west Sidney, was decided t
the city expressly for us
only as park.
1t was also agreed that pro
vision for establishing park
in new subdivisions, should b
made at the time of plattin

Maybe We'll have more il

Swathing of Winter Wheat
is now in progress in the Lam
bert and Mount Pleasant areas
and combines are being made
ready to roll within the next
two weeks. With the approach
Of the winter wheat harvest
there is much speculation as
to what the yield will be of
what may be a bumper crop
for Richland County.
Comments such as "The
county wheat crop shoulu ave
rage 80 bushels, "This could
be a record crop for the coun-
ty" and "Our wheat should
make from 80 to 40 bushels"
can be heard as farmers talk
about their crop prospects.
Although the crop situation
is generally good, mother ma
ture still controls the final out
come of crop yield, particularly
in the spring grains, sugar
beetS and corn.
For most spring grains and
dryland corn another good rain
is needed to produce the best
of yields. This is true more so
in some areas of the county
than others. 1t has been OBJ
served that spring grains on
the lighter soils east of the
Yellowstone River are burn
ing.
Reports of stem rust devel-
Opment on spring wheat with
in the last two weeks is caus-
ing concern and of course only
time will tell what the result
will be on spring wheat yields.
Generally speaking the win
ter wheat crop looks good and
will be harvested within a
short time. However this par
ticular crop caused consider
able concern and worry during
the growing season.
Early in the season there
were SYMPTOMS Of winter kill
present in the winter wheat
This condition combined with
a fungus disease in the winter
wheat resulted in slow grow
ing and poor looking stands OF
winter wheat. Many farmer:
remembering how badly the
1862 winter wheat was affect
ed with rust were tempted tx
tear out the slow developing
winter wheat and reSeed tt
spring wheat.
Although Richland Count.
farmers have received a gooC
supply of moisture so far dur
ing 1868 this moisture was no
distributed equally to all area
of the county. Generally speak
ing the northern and westerl
portions of the county receives
the major portion of the rain
fall. However it was thes
areas that received the majo
hail storm of the season. Re
suits of the early hail storr
will show in the grain tanks G
the combine and it certainl
won't be a record crop year i
this area.
Reports from Holly Suga
Corporation the best crop pros
poets are favorable. The bes
crop is off to a good start am
thus far no major problems t
cause concern. However cor
siderable time remains unit
