ver the past month, parts of the southwest region of North Dakota have experienced three to four times more rain than the usual average. According to the Nationa l We a t h e r S e r vice, the chance for above average precipitation will continue into S e p t e m b e r.

In addition to more rain, Meteorologist Ken Simosko also said to expect below average temperatures.

“For the last couple of months, precipitation has been 600 percent above normal,” said Simosko. “ I t ’s b e e n w e t across southwest North Dakota, western South

eeks ago, a group of artistic individuals called the Friends of the Library volunteered their time and livened up the walls of the Bowman Library with a bright, sunflower mural. Just last week the volunteer painting group struck again with their painting prowess, this time at the Cedar Chest.

The new mural on the back wall of the Cedar Chest depicts a clothesline full of miscellaneous clothes,

including dresses, a hat, and even socks.

Cedar Chest President Jerri Storer said that the painting is not only a great addition to the Cedar Chest, but also a great depiction of what people can find at the thrift store.

“It was a great idea for them to do that,” said Storer, “and it matches the store because we have everything: clothing, kettles, underwear — whatever.”

According to volunteer painter Marie Snavely, when painting the new clothesline mural, the Friends

of the Library group was trying to represent the content and simplicity of thrift store while keeping a nostalgic feel.

It was only after finishing the Bowman Library mural that the painting group started thinking about a new mural project. Snavely said that the Friends of the library dreamed up the idea for the new mural after looking at the blank walls of the thrift store.

around the area, saw the wall of the Cedar Chest and said, ‘That wall begs for a clothes line mural,” she said.

“The Cedar Chest is a generous neighbor to the Bowman Library and it was a pleasure for the Friends of the Library to help beautify the community.”

When the Friends of the Library approached the thrift store with the idea for a new mural, Storer said that both she and the Cedar Chest Board were elated by the idea. The group provided their own painting supplies, and the project was 100 percent volunteer

based.

“When they approached me I said, ‘that sounds like a great idea,’” said Storer, “and the board was all for it.”

Ultimately, seven volunteers made the mural a reality, and according to Snavely, the group is always looking for new people who are willing to make Bowman a more beautiful place.

“The Bowman Regional Public Library is looking to add more Friends of the Library,” said Snavely.

To join the volunteer group, Snavely suggested calling the Library to sign up and become a member.

“The addition of each new Dollar General store represents positive economic development, including new local career opportunities and the ability for individuals to achieve their career aspirations in our growing organization,” said the representative.

In addition to extra career opportunities, Dollar General also offers grant opportunities to the community from its Dollar General Literacy Foundation.

FeedList Connects Livestock Feed Buyers, Sellers

BY MAX ROBISON NDSU Extension

M

any livestock producers in North Dakota are short on forage following a long, cold winter and late spring that depleted forage supplies says Miranda Meehan, North Dakota State University Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist.

Supplies in some areas have been further

exasperated due to low forage production, resulting from cool temperature and drought.

In other regions, livestock producers have surplus forages, as a result of ample, timely rains.

"In addition, many farmers planted cover crops on prevented plant acres to increase water use and manage weeds," says Meehan. "There is the opportunity to market these annual forages to livestock produc-

ers, due to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency revision to the prevented planting insurance provisions, allowing producers to hay or graze a cover crop on prevented plant acres beginning Sept. 1."

Farmers and ranchers who have feedstuff such as hay, cover crops or corn for sale can list it on NDSU's FeedList website, which is designed to connect feed sellers and buy-

ers. Producers also may list pasture they have for rent.

The FeedList, at https://www.ag.ndsu. edu/feedlist, shows what each seller has for sale, how the feed is stored (large round bales, small bales, etc.) and the seller's contact information.

Prospective buyers can select what they want to buy and contact the sellers. Using the FeedList is free of charge.

ain can have a variety of impacts on forage quality and yield, ultimately affecting overall feed and market value, North Dakota State University Extension livestock specialists say.

July in North Dakota was the 23rd wettest in the last 125 years, although areas in the north and north-central part of the state

are experiencing drought conditions.

“Those who are lucky enough to receive moisture always look for the good in it; however, it has created challenges for producers trying to put up hay this summer,” says Karl Hoppe, livestock systems specialist at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center.

“The stage of maturity at harvest is one of the most important factors influencing forage quality,” says Janna Block, livestock systems specialist at NDSU’s Hettinger Research Extension Center. “Generally, leaf-to-stem ratios decline as forage matures, which leads to increased concentrations of fiber components and reduced protein and energy content.”

Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) represents cell wall components of forages, including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.

While hemicellulose and cellulose can be digested to some extent by bacteria in the cow’s rumen, lignin is indigestible. Lignin also will reduce digestibility of cellulose and hemicellulose.

Therefore, increased NDF content reduces overall fiber digestion by rumen microbes, which reduces the energy value of the forage.

The NDF content also is related to the “bulk” of forages, and high NDF can reduce the amount of forage that a cow can eat physically. Limited intake of low-quality forages may result in performance losses.

“In North Dakota, the majority of our perennial forage species harvested for hay are cool-season species,” says Miran-

da Meehan, Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. “These species initiate growth early in the spring and reach peak production in early July. To achieve the best combination of quality and quantity, this would be the optimal time to harvest.”

However, above-normal precipitation during the growing season leads to harvest delays, which means that many forages are overmature by the

Dakota, eastern Montana, and e a s t e r n Wy o m i n g . ” The meteorologist suspected that the extra rain has been a result from storms traveling in from the North. He explained that over the past month, storms that build in the northern tip of the Rocky Mountains have been moving into the Midwest area and sitting there for long periods of time.

He also attributed the recent rainstorms to a consistent low-pressure system in the Midwest region.

Simosko explained, “The fronts that make it down from Canada or Montana, a lot of times, get stuck in the northern Rockys, and they

develop and merge into the Midwest.”

Megan Jones, another meteorologist with the N a t i o n a l We a t h e r Service added, “Because you are right on the edge of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana, you seem to be in the area where there has been the highest level of precipitation consistently o v e r t h e s u m m e r. ” As the fall season approaches, the meteorologists noted that the rainy trend could continue.

When looking at previous data, the average rainfall for the area is usually 1.63 inches, and the average temperature is 56.5 degrees.

Although the N a t i o n a l We a t h e r Service meteorologists cannot tell exactly how much

to rain to expect in the coming weeks, they said that their indicators point toward a good chance for above average rainfall and cooler weather for the month of S e p t e m b e r.

Simosko added that the cooler temperatures are likely due to more cloud cover associated with the expected rainstorms, and as conditions start to cool, the likelihood of extreme weather condition will start to drop.

So there you have it folks. As we head into harvest season, keep an umbrella nearby and an eye out for puddles. The trend for above average rainfall doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon.

time they are harvested.

Temperature also is a major factor in how plants mature.

Warm temperatures lower forage quality, compared with forages grown under cool temperatures, even when forages are harvested at the same maturity stage.

The combination of relatively cooler temperatures and continued rain well into the growing season has kept many forages in a vegetative state, which could mean that forage quality may not be reduced as much as expected.

This alfalfa hay field in central North Dakota needs to dry before being baled. Images Courtesy of NDSU.

How Rain During Harvest Impacts Forage Quality Rainfall that occurs between cutting and baling can have a variety of impacts on forage quality.

“Yield and digestibility losses between 6% and 40% have been reported, depending on factors such as species, timing and amount of rain, stage of maturity

at harvest and drying conditions,” Meehan notes. “A study of hay quality conducted by NDSU Extension in 2015 reported lower total digestible nutrient content of samples that had been rained on.”

Leaching of plant sugars (carbohydrates), vitamins and minerals out of plant tissues is a major concern. Crude pro-

tein content may be increased in rainedon hay because it composes a larger portion of forage dry matter as sugars are lost.

If hay is baled while it is too wet, much of the crude protein may be lost to heat damage, Block cautions.

High moisture content of forages can cause continued respiration

Obituary

Louis L. Owen Louis L. Owen, 101, of Bowman, ND, passed away at Southwest Healthcare Services Hospital, Bowman, ND, on August 10, 2019.

Funeral Services for Louis will be o n S a t u r d a y, A u gust 17, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. at the Bowman United Methodist Church.

Pastor Ray Sherw o o d w i l l o ff i c i ate with burial to follow in the Bowman Ceme t e r y, B o w m a n , ND. There will be a Friends and Family Service on F r i d a y, A u g u s t 1 6 , at 7:30 pm at the Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Home Chapel.

Public visitation for Louis will be o n F r i d a y, A u g u s t 16, 2019 starting at noon at the Krebsbach and Kulseth Funeral Home Chapel.

Louis Lemuel Owen was born in Bismarck, ND on April 5, 1918, to Dorothy (nee Nieland) and Floyd Owen, the second of six children, growing up on a farm north of Menoken, ND. He graduated from Menoken High School in 1936 and worked as a hired farmhand (during which time he would meet his future wife) until November 1941 when he joined the Navy

Reserve. Louis went into active duty at the Great Lakes Naval Tr a i n i n g C e n t e r a m o n t h l a t e r, i m mediately followi n g P e a r l H a r b o r.

From there Louis went to Jacksonville, Florida, for training at a f o u r - m o n t h Av i ation Ordnanceman School. He remained at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station for the next two and one-half years and then transferred to Holtville, California, where he served with the CASU (Carrier Aircraft Service Unit). Louis returned to Jacksonville in June 1945 to attend a bomb site school.

He was honorably discharged from the US Navy September 24, 1945, at the rating of A C F C ( Av i a t i o n Chief Fire Controlman).

Louis married Helen Anderson of Baldwin, ND on April 6, 1945, in El Centro, CA. An example of Louis’ special brand of humor was when, in later years, he would say that he just couldn’t run any further from Helen, with the Pacific Ocean at his back. After his discharge from t h e N a v y, h e a n d Helen returned to North Dakota where they

moved to Detroit, MI where she raised three children and taught until 1984. Russ died in 1986, and she later married Arnold Sjoberg, who died in 1998.

F a m i l y, c h u r c h and bridge formed the core of her social life, and a summer home o n Wa l l o o n L a k e near Petoskey gave the family over 50 years of memories.

Her three children survive Adele: Te r r y a n d K a t y Kittleson (Dallas, TX,) Diane and Jon Nichols

Adele passed away Aug. 7,2019 at the age of 100, having celebrated that memorable d a y w i t h f a m i l y, church and lake friends from all o v e r t h e c o u n t r y.

She was born in Rhame, ND to Hans and Frieda (Lien) Ahlness July 12, 2019.

After marrying Russel Kittleson, whom she met while teaching i n R e a d e r, t h e y

farmed until 1956.

At that time Louis joined Standard Oil as a bulk agent in Rolette, ND. In 1958 the family moved to Bowman, ND where Louis lived the remainder of his life. Louis retired from Standard Oil in 1976.

Louis served on the Bowman City Commission, the B o w m a n Vo l u n teer Ambulance Squad and the Bowman United Methodist Church board. He was active in the Frank Gordhamer Post #48 of the North Dakota American Legion, serving in a l l t h e o ff i c e s a n d t h e p o s t ’s H o n o r Guard.

These accomplishment and events in Louis’ life were important to him, and his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren also appreciated them. Howe v e r, t h e y p a l e in comparison to what Louis meant as first a husb a n d , t h e n f a t h e r, grandfather and g r e a t - g r a n d f a t h e r.

Louis was an extraordinary role model for his family all during his long life. He not only believed in the Golden Rule, but he lived it every d a y. L o u i s w a s a considerate, protective and loving husband to Helen until her death in 2007 on h e r 9 0 t h b i r t h d a y.

That special brand of humor was always there as well, although it took a w h i l e f o r R o g e r, Carol and Gary to recognize it. Louis brandishing a board with a nail jutting out menacingly during birthday celebrations for his young children was misinterpreted by his daughter at least.

Carol remembers crying and hiding under a bed when it was her turn for that special “Dad treatment’.

When his descendants began including grandchildren and then great-grandchildren, Louis’ love of his family grew a c c o r d i n g l y. H e often said with unconcealed pride, “And t h e r e ’s n o t a l e m on in the bunch!”

Naturally none of his children ever disputed that opinion.

Louis’ love of family extended to his siblings and his nieces and nephews. The Owen family had a strong tradition of family get-togethers, and even in later years when organized reunions were no longer practical, spontaneous visits were commonplace. Louis was fortunate to see his two remaining brothers Delvin and Paul, and his b r o t h e r - i n - l a w, Aldon Anderson, during the past couple of months (along with the nieces and nephew who facilitated those trips to Bowman).

Hunting was a ritual with Louis, his brothers, and his father in earlier times.

Helen could always count on an Owen family invasion every fall during deer season. Fishing was another pastime that Louis enjoyed, one that he shared with all h i s f a m i l y, i n stilling love for it in everyone. He

patiently sorted out snarled lines and avoided errant casting attempts with good h u m o r, f i r s t w i t h his children, then his grandchildren, and finally his great-grandchildren.

Another significant part of life for Louis was when he and Helen spent what proved to be a decade-plus period of traveling to P r e s c o t t Va l l e y, AZ, every wint e r. A n u m b e r o f enduring friendships grew out of the time spent there, so when Louis and Helen acknowledged that their annual migration had finally become too onerous, their decision to once again become year-round Bowman residents was made with reluctance.

The Methodist Church in Bowman was also important to Louis. He developed a number of strong friendships there through the years, and when it became d i ff i c u l t f o r L o u i s to attend church services on his own, a number of church members took turns seeing that he got there.

F i n a l l y, L o u i s simply enjoyed being around people. He loved the give and take and the teasing that went along with the familiarity of friendship. Louis frequently had a mischievous glint in his eye when he was about to say something designed to elicit

a reaction from someone in his sights. He never lost that sense of h u m o r. W h i l e r a l lying from his first collapse, on August 1, Louis was cracking jokes to t h e h o s p i t a l s t a ff , occasionally maki n g i t d i ff i c u l t f o r them to accurately assess how he was actually feeling.

Louis was preceded in death by his parents; his sister Winola; his brother Leon; his wife Helen; his son-inlaw Frank Dilse; sisters-in-law Mary Anderson, Shirley H. Owen, Shirley Owen, Peggy Owen, Anette Holden, and Mildred Owen; brother-inl a w Ve a r l H o l d en; and nephews Floyd Owen and David Owen.

Louis will be deeply missed by his surviving family members: son Roger (Jennifer), McPherson, KS; daughter Carol Dilse, Scranton, ND; son Gary (Mary), Cedar Rapids, IA; grandsons Stuart (Katie) Dilse, Philip Dilse, Eric (Amy) Owen and Adam (Jenna) Owen; granddaughters Ta n y a O w e n , Kelly Owen and Kristy Owen; and nine great-grandchildren. Also surviving are brothers Delvin and Paul; sister Carmen (Ed) Schneeman; brother-in law Aldon Anderson; and numerous nieces and nephews.

THANK YOU CARD OF THANKS: The Family of Vernice Martin would like to thank everyone who joined us on June 15 for Vernice’s Celebration of life. It was so wonderful to see how many people’s lives Vernice had left a memory in. Thank you for coming and sharing in her life and the memories with us.

We also want to thank everyone for everything during Vernice’s initial doctoring, her stay in the hospital, the diagnosis, and the final couple of months that are still a blur and sometimes unreal to us.

It was a hard couple of months for the family, but it was a very hard couple of months for Vernice. She has some wonderful people in her life.

Thank you all so very much for everything you did to help the family in any way possible since the onset of the whole thing up until the present. But Thank You most of all for all of those who helped Vernice during her very hard stay at the hospital in Bismarck. Your visits, phone calls, card, flowers, etc., helped to brighten her days more than you will ever know. It was always so comforting to walk into the room and see her smile and tell us someone had stopped by, or someone had called, or she had gotten a card/letter/flowers from someone, or that someone had brought her some wonderful tasting food/treats (Vernice had a really hard time with the hospital food - needless to say it did not even come close to her wonderful cooking).

THANK YOU - To her sister Deb and a dear family friend for voicing your concerns when you saw something was off kilter. I know that helped in convincing her to go see the doctor.

Dr. Hoerauf, nurses, and staff for hearing us out when we had concerns that maybe “a few more tests needed to be done” on a patient you had never seen before, and for all the help when we had to make that ER trip to Bismarck.

All the paperwork was waiting for us when we arrived at the ER. All of you who made numerous visits to the hospital to see Vernice, pray with her, bring her meals, bring her things to keep her busy, or beautiful flowers, the phone calls, and everything else you did to help ease her stay in the hospital. You were her saving grace in a time when she needed it most.

The folks “from back home” that took the time to stop in to see Vernice on your trips to Bismarck.

She could not wait for the day until she could get back home - so thank you for bringing a little bit of home to her.

Sister Marie Bernard for uprooting your life on a phone calls notice and coming to Marmarth to take care of the home front and the animals. It was such a load off our shoulders to know that the critters were well taken care of while we were in Bismarck with Vernice.

To Vernice’s “other daughter and sons”, without your help and support we would not have been able to spend as much time with Mom as we did. You watched the kids and the home fronts so we could spend as much time as possible

with mom the last couple months of her life.

All of you who made and delivered meals to Jim and for helping to keep an eye on the animals and the farm.

Thank you all for the cards, gifts and/or money, flowers, and calls upon Vernice’s passing and the Celebration of life.

Thank You To All who helped in any way during and after Vernice’s hospitalization and passing. If we missed anyone it was not intentional and please know that we truly appreciated everything that everyone did (it did not go unnoticed).

BROSZ: ND State Water Commission Application: We went through the first layer of application and need to send in additional information. Brosz needs approval to do the next steps in the grant application for the repairs to the water tanks for the tops and inside of both tanks. We ranked a long way down the list but were instructed to still send in more information. Brosz is supposed to call the ND State Engineer and he wants to get on the August meeting. They review your feasibility study and it will take him time to get that ready, the project is around $850,000.00.

If awarded, our portion would be $403,000 and the grant would cover $447,000.00.

BOWMAN PARKS AND REC- C. WALBY AND LAMBOURN: 2020 Budget Request: They need another employee so they have increased their budget ask for health insurance. Their budgeted funds were cut the year before so they are asking for an increase again. They are requesting funds to purchase a snow blower attachment for the Park and Rec skid steer. They said the City is always using the one that we are supposed to share, but they have never actually asked Hofland to use it.

James asked if they are going to raise their mills, because if we increase our mills to cover Park and Rec’s ask increase, the burden falls on the City instead of Park and Rec. They are requesting an increase in $5,000.00 in budgeted funds and an additional $4,500.00 for health insurance and are requesting a skid steer snowblower in the cost of $7,000.00. For a total request of $62,000.00. They were asked to report to Allen if they plan to raise their mills.

FIRE DEPT - LIMESAND: 2020 Budgeted Funds Request: Limesand presented the 2020 request for budgeted funds for the fire department in the amount of $33,575.00. They are requesting the same amount of funds as last year.

Fireman’s Convention: In June 2021, our fire department is hosting the ND Fireman’s Convention. They will be doing fund raisers to help pay for the costs.

The firemen may request help to run it, they are expecting 200 to 225 people.

FIREWORKS - BOTHA Botha would like fireworks to be banned or suppressed more. She gave several reasons why. Also asked if the hospital and school could be considered as being in the fire zone so no fireworks may be shot off in that area.

We have been working on updating our ordinances and we will consider the information that she

presented and will try to work on something realistically enforceable.

WHITNEY: Dead and Diseased Trees: Whitney said he misunderstood the last bid that he received from Waddington Boom Truck for the trees at 17 4th Ave NW. Whitney thought that it included two trees and instead it was one tree. Whitney presented two new quotes for the trees. The south tree quote is $3,025 and $3,975 for the north tree, these do not include removing the stump. The previous job Waddington Boom Truck quoted will be done this Friday. Motion

by Limesand, second by Shear to approve removal of the north tree on 17 4th Ave NW in the amount of $3,975.00. RCV= all aye, MC. Motion by Limesand, second by Vail to approve removal of the south tree at 17 4th Ave NW in the amount of $3,025.00. RCV= all aye, MC. Whitney has been trying to get some replacement tree options.

Whitney said there are some grants with matching money from the City, he is trying to get information together and would like to request $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 for matching funds to be set aside for 2020. Some other cities have shifted the location of the tree into resident yards and then they are not the responsibility of the City. Allen will check with Attorney Wild about using General Fund money to pay for trees that become the property of the resident. There would have to be an agreement that would release the liability from the City. Whitney said fall is the best time to plant a tree and the grants are usually in the spring.

Motion by Limesand, second

by Schaaf to rescind the previous motion at the July 2, 2019 meeting that approved the tree removal on 17 4th Ave NW in the amount of $4,500. RCV= all aye, MC.

The little county fairs where you can see who in the neighborhood has the nicest garden, the best welder, the coolest photographs, and which 4-H club has put in the most work.

The two county fairs I still love to attend are the Harding County Fair in Camp Crook, SD, and the Slope County Fair in Amidon, ND.

DEAN MEYER

Guest Columnist Hello, If you’ve been reading my column over the years, you know how I appreciate county fairs. Not the big State Fairs.

We attended the Harding County Fair this past weekend. And I have to brag a little. Our grandkids dominated the hog division at the livestock show. RJ was the champion showman and Evan showed the grand champion hog!

Now I will have to admit that Harding County is not known for raising hogs.

It is cattle, sheep, and horse country. And this year it is known for raising hay. Thousand upon thousand bales of hay cover the open prairies of South Dakota. It is well worth the drive to see if you have an afternoon off.

Back to the hogs. I will have to admit that Evan and RJ had the only two hogs exhibited at the fair, but I am confident they would have won if there had been a thousand hogs.

The county fair at Camp Crook is a family affair. It’s one fair where

Pastor's Corner: School Days I

t is hard to believe that school is starting this month and by the time some of you read this school may already be in session. I know our grandchildren have already started in Indiana!

Do you remember the little song about school? It goes like this: School Days, School Days Dear old golden rule days Reading and ‘riting and ‘rithmatic Taught to the tune of the hick’ry stick You were my queen in calico I was your bashful barefoot beau And you wrote on my slate, “I love you, Joe” When we were a couple o’ kids.

This song has been around for over 110 years.

It was written by a couple of guys and it is about a mature couple who were looking back at their sentimental journey during their school days.

Now if you are like me it has been quite some time since I was in elementary school. In reality it was in the early to mid60’s in which I was in elementary school. Much has changed since those early days of school.

Perhaps we need to change some of the words in this song to reflect our culture today. Let’s give it a try: School Days, School days Oh, what are the rules

these days PowerPoints and Smartboards and Ebook Time Daily updates of grades online You were the girl whose jeans would drag I was the boy whose trousers sagged I’d text on my cell, replies would lag When we were a couple of kids. (www.21centryedtech. wordpress.com) I don’t know about you but that is typical of today and if you are like me… when I don’t understand something, I can usually ask my grandkids and they can help me through it!

I thought about my time in elementary school and remember the “good ol’ days” when we would say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, the principal would recite a prayer over the PA system, we had Bible classes and grace was given before we ate our lunches. We didn’t have to worry about someone bringing a gun into school because they were upset about something.

We would try and work through the problems and begin to do better!

Please understand that there were plenty of problems in the school system when I attended elementary and high school.

Just because I can think of better days doesn’t mean that every day was better…it was hard, and it was difficult. We were fighting the beginnings of the drug culture and the

sexual culture. It was not very pretty but we continued to move forward, but as we moved forward, we left the one thing behind that we really needed and that was God. Yes, I know, those were the days in which prayer was removed from the schools and other things were taken out. The question I have is where does it end? How much do we remove before we realize that what we have removed made America great?

I read this past week that some schools were placing Bible classes back in the curriculum and I applaud them for taking that step! Perhaps we need to become the America that is more dependent upon God instead of government! I don’t know but maybe we need to give it another try and see if life doesn’t get better relying upon God! I hope that you and I as parents, grandparents and great-grandparents will uphold our schools, teachers, janitors, cafeteria workers, administrative assistants, administrative and school boards up in prayer as they try to do their best to raise up our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren right here in our own community!

I pray that God will give continue to show us His mercy and grace through this school year!

the reason for county fairs. I thank you for that.

Everywhere you go, you will see piles of bicycles.

There is a constant gang of bikers roaming around town.

Enough of Camp Crook is paved that it is a pretty good treat for ranch kids, whose bikes seldom see anything but gravel, to cycle between the ball court and the fair grounds.

One night our 4-H club walked the mile or so to attend a movie at the Empire Theatre in downtown Minot.

On the way home from the movie we cut through the livestock barns.

Harding County is a community that remembers

Back to the hogs.

When I was in 4-H fifty some years ago, we attended 4-H achievement days at the State Fair grounds in Minot. I was on the livestock judging team.

There we came across an old guy, maybe 25 years old, that had been uptown way too long. He was in a talkative mood and offered to show

us the hogs we were to judge the next day. Naturally this sparked out interest.

We were skeptical but listened carefully to his placings and reasons.

The next day, lo and behold, it was the same hogs! When they gave out the awards, our 4-H leader was astounded. We swept the top four placings in the hog judging. This qualified us to go to State!

That didn’t go near as well. Different hogs.

RAIN » FROM PAGE 3 in harvested forage, which further contributes to carbohydrate losses. Leaf shatter and loss can occur, particularly with alfalfa.

In addition, the potential for increased microbial activity can reduce forage quality and increase the risk of mold and mycotoxins.

Recommended dry matter percentages for baled hay are approximately 18% or less for large round bales, 16% or less for large square bales and 20% or less for small square bales, Hoppe says.

Spontaneous combustion may occur when internal temperatures exceed 150 F. Most of the time, this will occur within a few weeks of baling, but it also can occur with heavy rainfall af-

ter hay is in the stack.

Quality losses due to heating may occur as well. Some proteins may bind with fiber, which makes them unavailable for digestion. The presence of mold and mycotoxins also can be detrimental to livestock.

“Given the large list of variables that can impact forage quality in a wet year, forage analysis is extremely critical,” Hoppe says.

“If you’ve never tested hay before, this is the year to do it. But remember, forage analysis is only as good as the samples that are submitted.”

Detailed instructions for forage sampling can be found at https://www. ag.ndsu.edu/publications/livestock/sampling-feed-for-analysis.

County offices of NDSU Extension may have a hay probe

available for producers to borrow, and can provide information on where and how to submit samples. The National Forage Testing Association maintains a list of certified laboratory facilities on its website at https://www. foragetesting.org.

At a minimum, analysis should include an estimate of total digestible nutrients and crude protein (CP), which are used as the basis to determine forage quality and develop rations for livestock at various stages of production.

However, this year, evaluating other components of the forage might be worthwhile as well.

The content of NDF will be an important factor to consider.

Some labs also may offer analysis for acid detergent fiber nitro-

North Dakota Game and Fish Report Deer Archery Season Opens Aug. 30

North Dakota’s deer archery season opens Friday, Aug. 30 at noon, and continues through Jan. 5, 2020.

Bowhunters can buy a license online at the state Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov; by calling 800-406-6409; or at vendors linked to the Game and Fish Department’s online licensing system. Hunters who purchase bow licenses at a vendor location will receive a tag at time of purchase; otherwise, hunters who purchase their license over the phone or personal computer should allow for several days to receive their tag in the mail. A general game and habitat license is also required for archery hunters, and must be purchased prior to receiving the archery tag.

Bowhunters must follow all regulations of

August is no longer just about winding down the fishing season and starting the planning and preparation for upcoming hunting seasons.

ately. The words "Federal Duck Stamp" will be printed on the license certificate, along with an expiration date 45 days from the date of purchase. The actual physical stamp will be sent by postal mail.

The physical stamp is processed and sent by the official duck stamp vendor in Texas, and should arrive to the individual buyer well before the expiration date printed on the electronic license. The physical stamp must remain in possession of the hunter after the 45-day electronic stamp has expired. Individuals who have questions regarding the status of their physical stamp can contact the federal duck stamp vendor customer service number at 800852-4897.

The federal duck stamp has a fee of $25.

An additional $1.50 fee is added to cover shipping and handling costs of the actual physical

ing system. Physical stamps are not available at North Dakota license vendors, but they can still be purchased at many U.S. Postal Service offices.

The electronic stamp is a purchase item like any other hunting or fishing license. When the purchase is completed the electronic stamp is valid immedi-

Dakota Datebook

DAKOTA DATEBOOK: Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic Explorer Dakota Datebook written by Merry Helm August 26, 2019 — A legendary Arctic explorer died on this date in 1962. He was Vilhjalmur Stefansson, born in 1879 to Icelandic immigrants in Manitoba. When he was two, the family moved to the Icelandic community of Mountain, in northeastern North Dakota, where Vilhjalmur remainder of his younger years.

Stefansson is said to have been a rugged boy who loved the outdoors and who only had occasional access to schooling. His father died when Vilhjalmur was just a boy, and to ease his mother’s hardship, he moved in with his sister and helped a brother with his cattle and horses.

The early Icelandic settlers have become recognized for their strong quest for higher education, especially in the field of law.

Stefansson enrolled at UND in 1898, where he shared a small drafty house with another Icelander, Gudmundur Grimson, who later gained national recognition while investigating the death of a North Dakota boy in a Florida work camp.

Three years later, Stefansson was forced to leave UND for allegedly inciting a student protest. He transferred to the University of Iowa, and upon receiving his degree, he was offered free tuition at Harvard Divinity School to become a Unitarian minister.

Stefannson soon lost interest in theology, however. He was more interested in learning about other cultures, and in 1906 he joined the Anglo-American Polar Expedition. He spent the next two years in the Arctic, spending the winter months with the native Inuit of Tuktoyyaktut.

In an early example of his independence, he failed, at times, to stay in contact with his colleagues.

Upon returning in 1908, Stefansson immediately went to New York’s American Museum of Natural History to ask for funding to conduct a second expedition. With some financial help from the Canadian government, the Stefansson Anderson Expedition set out for northern Alaska

to continue the study of the native cultures.

Stefansson became particularly interested in a remote group of primitive Inuits during the next four years.

The tribe had strong Caucasian features, and it was speculated they descended from Vikings.

Of one experience during this expedition, Stefansson wrote, “... the group was short of three things: ammunition, which we all knew was a necessity, and tea and tobacco, which the Eskimos believed were necessities. When we reached the mouth of the Horton on our way back to camp, we divided our party in two (and our) troubles began. It took us thirteen days to get to camp. We were delayed by blizzards, and found the hunting poor along the way. There was not enough food for the six of us,” he went on. “We ate what we could, including the tongue of a beached bowhead whale. Four years dead, the carcass would have been hidden in the snow except that foxes had been digging into it...

The pieces we ate were more like rubber than flesh.”

The Stefansson Anderson Expedition concluded four years later, and arrangements were immediately made for another – the Canadian Arctic Expeditions – which took place from 1913 to 1918. Stefansson’s findings were now being published in scientific journals and literary digests, and he also published a book titled, “My Life with the Eskimo.”

Stefansson’s success unfortunately became laced with controversy, but that’s a story for another time…

He wouldn’t

bowmanextra.com

go inside until he was certain that all the wagons were in and every horse properly tended, and he ended up catching pneumonia. It was a hard thing for Enger to be slowed down by illness – the 6' 4" farmer was legendary for his size and strength and had always done the work of two men.

Enger was born in Norway in 1846. Early in 1872, he left Fargo with two other men to find land in the Goose River area. According to historian Erling Rolfsrud, each man carried an axe, a gun and a knapsack. By the time they chose homestead sites, they were out of food and were lucky to share fox stew with a hermit known as “Gamle Erick,” or Old Eric.

The men took turns helping each other build their 16' x 16' log houses, with Enger’s being the first settler’s house built in Steele County. They used no nails. Instead, they used wooden pegs and had roofs made of bark covered with sod.

Once they were finished, Enger knew he could make more money in town, so he hired a neighbor to break his land and headed back to earn enough to buy farm equipment and more land.

In Fargo, Enger cut firewood in what is now Oak Grove Park.

He rarely tired, starting early in the morning and chopping into the night by firelight. When loading river steamers, he would sling bags of wheat or flour over each shoulder when others could handle only one.

Within three years, Fingal found the “right girl,” Gjertrud Nyhus, but the two had to wait for a minister to pass through before they could marry. Rolfsrud writes that when the day finally arrived, the couple almost missed it, because a cow got out, and Fingal had to find her and then repair the fence. The service was nearly over by the time Fingal and Gjertrud walked the five miles to the church... Fingal was married in his overalls.

By all accounts, Enger was a religious and very generous man. Education was important to the Engers; they had nine children – eight boys and one girl – and Enger wanted them to be able to speak English while still retaining their Norwegian heritage. When a college-educated man filed a claim nearby, Enger talked him into teaching school in Enger’s home, then got the neighbors together and built the young schoolteacher a house.

Enger also helped start Oak Grove Seminary in Fargo, helped establish Augsburg College in Minneapolis and was on the executive board for the Grand Forks Deaconess Hospital. He helped many people with loans and gifts, and he was legendary for his kindness to animals. He bought the first threshing machine in the area, was twice elected to the

state senate, invested in grain elevators and was the proud owner of a Percheron stallion from France.

By the time Enger lay dying of pneumonia, he was the largest single landowner in the state, with 73 quarters. He called for his attorney and representatives of the schools and hospital he had helped, and they arrived on this date in 1913. Fingal asked them to put in writing how many thousands of dollars he had promised them, so he could sign. The men left the room to draw up the papers, but Fingal died a few minutes later. Gjertrud died 3 months later.

The Steele County Historical Society has gathered the remains of Engers’ log house, along with its additions, and rebuilt it next to the County Museum in Hope. It’s definitely a worthwhile tour.

The refuge encompasses 4,385 acres northwest of Medina and is one of state’s largest surviving blocks of native prairie. As a wilderness area, no motor vehicles and no roads are allowed, leaving the area almost identical to pre-settlement days.

The refuge is home to at least 230 bird species (some of them rare), 35 species of butterflies and untold numbers of wildflowers.

Chase Lake has also been home to the largest nesting colony of American white pelicans on the continent – approximately half the North American population. This June, however, scientists were baffled when approximately 29,000 pelicans disappeared from the refuge in a matter of days. Experts have no concrete reason for why the birds suddenly abandoned their eggs and hatchlings… no indication of disease or undue disturbances of nesting habitat. Some theorize the cold, wet spring altered the pelicans’ food supply, and others believe this may be a “natural population correction.”

They are optimistic that the birds will return next spring.

Ronald Davies was born in 1904, and his early education took place in Crookston, MN, Fargo, and Grand Forks. He was the son of a newspaperman, and two of his uncles had newspapers, too.

“I don’t quite know how I escaped the smell of printer’s ink,” he later said, “but I told my father and my uncles almost from the start that I wanted to be a lawyer.”

Davies went to UND, paying his way by selling newspaper subscriptions.

He was athletic and sports-minded, but because he was on the small side – 5' 1" – coaches didn’t take him seriously. Showing the determination and tenacity for which he would become known, Davies built up his legs and stamina by plodding through deep snow – and won a varsity letter as a sprinter.

Davies graduated in 1927, earned his law degree from Georgetown University, and then hung out his shingle in Grand Forks. “I was in general practice,” he later said.

“Criminal, civil, probate – anything any misguided client would retain a young lawyer for. It was tough going.

So in 1932, I ran for municipal judge and was elected. You see, I didn’t like to get out of the habit of eating.”

He was only 28 years old when he ascended to the bench, and he was appointed to the North Dakota State Board of Pardons eight years later.

World War II interrupted his career in 1942; he was discharged in 1946 as a Lieutenant Colonel.

Davies went back to private practice, and then, in June 1955, President Eisenhower appointed him United States District Court Judge for North Dakota. Two years later, on August 26, 1957, Davies was asked to temporarily fill a vacant seat in Arkansas’s Eastern District.

He wasn’t aware that he was walking into a minefield.

The Deep South was struggling with desegregation, as it had for many decades. Arkansas was considered the most progressive of the southern states, and it was in Little Rock that the first integration of a secondary school was about to happen. Nine black students had made the courageous decision

The Bowman County Pioneer

to attend Central High School in the “Plan of School Integration.”

When Davies arrived, he was immediately given a case called Aaron vs.

Cooper in which the “Mother’s League of Central High School” had won a temporary injunction to block the school’s integration, charging that it “could lead to violence.” Davies was there not only to interpret the law, but also to see to it that it was carried out. Brown vs. the Board of Education was the historic case in which school integration was slated to take place “with all deliberate speed.” Davies believed in “less deliberation and more speed,” and four days later – on this date in 1957 – he nullified the injunction and ordered Central High School to integrate the following week.

Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus had no intention of letting that happen. Claiming he wanted to avoid bloodshed, Faubus called up 100 armed National Guardsmen to surround the school when the young African Americans arrived.

The Guards barred their entry, and a mob of 400 white extremists surrounded the teenagers with threats of lynching. The students were forced to leave.

Faubus’s defiance of Judge Davies’ court order was the first major test of Brown v.

Board of Education.

Tune in tomorrow to learn what happened next.

Laboratory analysis of forages typically will cost between $20 and $40.

“These tests are inexpensive when considering the importance of hay quality to your bottom line,” Block says. “A forage test early in the season will help producers determine the quality of the forage base and whether supplementation will be necessary to meet livestock requirements. The bottom line is it is best to test rather than try to guess how the unusual growing conditions this year may have affected hay crops.”
