Andrew Smith of Beach was re-
cently elected to the position of
president of the North Dakota Crop
Improvement & Seed Association
(NDCISA).
Smith previously was a south-
west regional director on the ND-
CISA board. NDCISA is supported
by the North Dakota State Seed De-
partment, the North Dakota State
University Extension Service, and
the North Dakota Agricultural Ex-
periment Station. The organizations
together contribute to North Dakota
agriculture in the area of pure seed
and commercial crop production.
Smith said he has been a member
of the NDCISA for the past eight
years.
"Anytime a (new grain) variety is
released through NDSU, it comes
through the North Dakota Crop Im-
provement & Seed Association,"
said Smith.
........ New" VariEtieg a~"~- introduced
every year, with the number of vari-
eties depending upon the pace of the
regearch, said Ashley Krause,
Golden Valley County extension
agent. This past year, five varieties
for three crops were released.
Having Smith as president of the
board adds to the recognition that
southwestern North Dakota is also
an area of the state for very good
seed producers, said Krause.
The organization also sponsors
youth activities such as the 4-H
crops judging contest at the North
Dakota Winter Show, and sponsors
scholarships to the NDSU College
of Agriculture. NDCISA also can be
involved in legislation relating to the
production and marketing of their
commodities.

MEDORA - Major repairs are
under way at the Chateau de Mores.
The Marquis de Mores built the
chateau in 1883 as a hunting lodge
and summer home for his family and
guests. Repairs have been made to the
building over the years, but it's been at
least 20 years since it has had new
shingles, said Dee Linn, supervisor of
the Chateau de Mores State Historic
Site. Leaks had developed in two parts
of the building.
Some pieces of the building's
wooden siding have also been re-
placed. The building was scheduled to
be repainted starting Monday of this
week. The colors will continue to be
gray and red. The color scheme comes
from a painting of the home that was
created by the Marquis' wife, said
Diane Rogness, western regional
manager for the State Historical Soci-
ety.
Cedar shingles were used on the
roof. The contractor nailed them into
place by hand instead of using a nail
gun in keeping with the building's his-
torical character. The roofing cost is
$47,000.
