Crops and Weather
Remarks about the weather are hack
neyed and to say much about it in the col
urns of the local paper would be uninter
esting if its circulation were confined to
the community in which it is published,
but as The Herald has a large number of
readers outside of this neighborhood, we
are sure some information in regard to
weather and crop conditions will be appre
ciated. Last spring there was an abundance of
rain, sufficient in fact to produce a good
crop if it could all have been conserved
for that purpose; then followed an unusal
iy long dry spell, which in turn has been
followed by copious showers and a general
rainfall throughout this part of the state.
The early-planted 'and late-planted
crops generally are good, while as a rule
those planted medium-late were the worst
injured by the dry weather. It should be
stated in this connection that there have
been no "hot winds" here, and while crops
have been damaged to some extent this
year by dry weather, they are far from
being a failure.
And right here we wish to state a fact,
and emphasize it if possible, and that is
that crops planted and tilled according to
the system advocated by Prof. E.W. Hunt,
director for the Box Butte county agricul
tural experimentation work, continued to
grow and flourish during the driest part
of the summer. We do not mean by this
only the farming done under his direction,
by any means, but the farming that has
been done by similar methods. It is the
method and not the man that makes the
crop. There are farmers in this part of
the state who have never met Prof. Hunt,
but who have learned from experience the
importance of proper tillage, and, who,
having planted their seed right and kept
their ground properly cultivated, are
rewarded with abundant crops.

wagon and rent a stable for two horses,

thoy assembled at the church at 10

automobiles were kept busy carrying

where a jolly time was had. It would
bo an exaggeration to say that the trees
of the grovo wcro as large as tho cele
brated trees of California, but they
wcro largo enough to furnish shade for
the picnic dinner; and what wa9 lack
ing in outing facilities was mado up by
hearty good will, which after all is the

Last evening was made pleasant by
the assembling of convalescents and
a few friends in the parlors of the
hospital, where the ovening was spent
with music and games. Light refresh

Such events are doubly appreciated by

office to renew the subscription of his son-in-law,
John Mahoney, of Fullerton. Mr.
Manion reports good crops in his neigh

twenty years, and says he has the best

Swimming.
I have been to great expense to pro
vide a suitable place for this recrea
tion, and since it is established am en
deavoring to keep it in first-class con
dition. At least 2, 000 gallons of fresb
water is forced into the tank each day,
I am forcing it through a small heater
to take off the chill. Of course I can
not heat the entire tank.
I hope for the patronage which the
expense incurred warrants,
