Uneven Qames. Last Tuesday the Braddoek ball team played their lirst game of the season. They played with the local team on the latter's diamond, the game being called about 3:30, with Agent Byrne as the umpire. This was expected to be a close game as it was understood that the Braddockites had a strong line-up. However, the locals were all in their very best fortn and they didn't do a tiling but win the game by a score of 17 to 3. The playing was fast and brilliant. Lang pitched a tine game and the support given him was or the best. While the visitors made some long hits, they were all gobbled up by the outtield. There were suyen wutlield chances, all or which tire re accepted. Had the Lintonit.es played every game as they did this one, they would not have so far lost a game this season.

Wallace Kyes acted as mar shal and Cunrade A. C. Wagher as president of the day. The Rev. J. E. McKinney opened the exercises with prayer.

Following is the Government Weath er Bureau's North Dakota crop report for week ending May 29th: "The fore part of tile past week was quite unfavorable for crops. High winds prevailed in most sections about the middle of the week: in some places, especially in the northern and north-' eastern portions, doing considerable damage to grain that was up by cut ting It, down and blowing out and un covering seed ttyit was not yet up. A killing frost followed these high winds, in some sections freezing grain oil to the ground and killing fruit buds, but not doing a great deal of damage as a rule. The latter part of the week was warmer and favorable for crops, which weregrowingslowly, on account of tiie unseasonable, cold weather. On some low land in the eastern part of the state grain lias been drowned out, and considerable land there is being resown to oats, flax and barley, while some is still too wet to get on. "Wheat is mostly up. That sown early is stooling well, and, considering the stormy and cold weather, is look ing very tine. Some fields are rep irt ed as looking sickly and thin, and In the northwestern portion some seed is said to have rotted, making the stand very poor. Some oats and bar ley are still being sown, but the most of the small grain is in, except flax, seeding of which is in progress in all parts of the state, and is nearly fin ished in the southern sections. "Corn planting has commenced and is general in all except the most north ern portions. "Wild grass is growing slowly on ac counts the cold weather, but is up enough to afford ample pasturage for stock on the prairies." 88 64^48 88 •48888 8P.M484 RECORI-suijpr,raMir.TVT' LINTON, N.

These excursions are conducted on honor, and future favors to a county will depend largely upon I/he conduct of the delegation couiiutf this summer. At. the experiment* station a record of attendance will be kept of eacli delegation. No political, social, business or other influe'ice must be allowed to determine who may or who may not be admitted to a delegation. Your excursion district is Emmons county. *2. Distribute the delegates yuu select as evenly as possible over your entire excursion district. Don't ad mit those who have been favored during former years. Don't favor any but actual farmers, farmers' wives farmers' grown children, and news paper men. Ranchmen are considered farmers. Remember these are farm \em excursions and not for city resi dents or the business and professional classes. "3. Later you will receive identifica tion checks, one for each delegate. ill out the blanks, date, etc., and hand one check to each delegate you select and request him or ijertosign the same. By presenting this identi fication check to the local ticket atfe111 the holder will he entitled to purchase a round-trip ticket at the reduced rate. "4. Prepare a list of the names and addresses of your delegation, while en route, and hand it to me or to my representative when you arrive at the college grounds. "5. All delegates should proceed to the agricultural college early on the morning after arrival in Fargo. The street-cars run directly to the college grounds. As soon as delegates arrive at the drill hall, on the college grounds, they will be divided into squads of fifty or less and each squad placed in charge of a guide who will conduct it over the experimental grounds and through the buildings. The guide will answer questions ana explain the pur pose of the different experiments, etc. These squads will leave the drill hall beginning at 8 o'clock a. m.: but no guides will be furnished after 10 a. m. Delegates coming on their honor to visit the experiment station should be on the grounds by 9 a. at the latest. "6.
