Reed was at the head of a party of twenty-five people last Sunday, the pur- posiof whom was, if possible, to find the body of John Lilleberg which is supposed to lie somewhere in the terri- tory north of Dover. A most thorough and exhausting search was made of the entire country and the ponds and bog boles were dragged, but without result. While it has been the opinion of Mr. Lilleberg's son that the missing man started to walk to his home front Dover, it nosy appears that there is cause for doubt of his ever leaving the train at that toint, a possibility which Deputy Sheriff Reed is inclined to favor.

It is greatly to be regretted that in I the 1)akotas and Montana so little stubble land was plowed last autumn. : The rain that delayed harvest delayed j re - sh in g - Tts\awd - The deinvcf hindered the work of plowing. Could the land generally have been plowed last autumn, the grain could have been sown early in the spring. !Sowing early the present spring will almort assure a crop on autumn plow- ed land because of the abundant mois- ture in the soil. Farmers who have fall plowed land should harrow or disc it at the earliest possible moment that it will do to :go on it in the spring. with a view to keep in the moisture. Land that is not plowed, especially I sod land, should be plowed at the earliest possible moment.

It it always hazardous in a dry area to sow 4 •giain after grain, when soil and subsoil are virtually devoid of moisture at time of sowing. On the other hand it should generally be safe to sow grain after grain when there is plenty of moisture in the soil at such a time The moist condition as the soil should make it possible to sow a relatively large area to grain the present season.
