I've had a few folks comment to
me on my little statement of welcom-
ing the sirens back to Sentinel Butte.
I shouldn't have said that everyone
welcomed them back. except for
myself. And let me explain why:
When I was little, the sirens always
fascinated me in that we didn't have
such a thing going on where I ew
up in Iowa. I thought they were neat.
Hey, I was little, what did I know.
Then many, many, many years later, I
came home after spending 5 ½ years
in Las Vegas, where police and
ambulance sirens seemed to be going
continuously, warning the citizens
that someone had been hurt. or more
often than not, that there was a dan-
gerous suspect on the loose, and
praying that some such person was
not coming to break ihto my home to
do major bodily damage, or worse, to
me.
Then "in Sentinel Butte, I once
more hear what I named, (only to
myself) the friendly sirens. No
announcements to "'lock yourselves in
your homes: there's a dangerous felon
on the loose!" They only announced
that'it was "breakfast time," (or time
to rise and shine), lunch time, supper
time, and "good-night, folks; I'm
going to bed now." Or in those anx-
ious moments when you knew it was
the wrong time for any meal; there
wa a fire somewhere, and our volun-
teer fire personnel are racing to
answer the call for help from someone
in need.
When I hear the Sentinel Butte
siren go off, I know I don't have to
fear for my life: that someone has
assaulted, maimed, or killed someone
and that I should hide in fear. The only
fear would be if my house is on fire.
But then I know that those wonderful
firefighters will be there to help save
my home in a matter of minutes.
So to any or all who told me that
they don't, and never did care for
those blasted sirens, I apologize. But
only because I included you in my lit-
tle "welcoming committee" when I
shouldn't have, So from me alone,
welcome back sirens - I missed you.

Sept. 7, 1961:
County Fair to be Sept. 15-16
The Golden .Valley County Fair
Board is busy these days making
plans for the 1961 Fair, and urge
that you, too make your plans for
the big event.
Fair dates have been set for
Sept. 15-16, with entry clay on
Sept. 14.
They urge that livestock men
begin planning their exhibits now.
Showing of purebred livestock has
dropped off during the last few
years. The board hopes that this
important and interesting phase of
the fair will build up again. Fat
classes of both cattle, sheep and
hogs will be on the premium list.
As the. canning season
approaches, the board encourages
housewives to remember the fair
as they do their preserves and
canned goods.
Numerous trophies are again
being ordered for the various divi-
sions in addition to the cash prizes
and ribbons.
Booth space is available and
may be reserved by contacting
Cart Davis, chairman of the board,
or the county agent's office.
Saturday snow follows heat
Slightly cooler temperatures
last Saturday saw local residents
donning light sweaters or other
wraps, which proved not quite
adequate for the sudden pelting
snowstorm that arrived just a few
minutes before noon. dropping the
mercury to 33 degrees F. in less
than five minutes.
The storm probably headed this
way, after leaving deep snows in
Montana and Colorado, and
Golden Valley County got the
fringe "'benefits" from it. It began
with rain, suddenly turning to the
white stuff, that clogged wind-
shield wipers, and sent pedestri-
ans searching for warmer clothing
in a hurry.
The snow melted fast, however.
with more rain following it in the
afternoon, Beach netting a total of
.31 inches of precipitation.
XGIs praised by colunmist
Bea Peterson. who writes the
colunm, "The Rural View," in the
Bismarck Tribune, apparently is
one of the Beach XGI Drill
Team's staunchest admirers, and
doesn't mind saying so. She was
one of the thousands of persons
who attended the annual
Champions Ride Rodeo at Home
on the Range, at Sentinel Butte, in
torrid weather.
Bea noted in the Aug. 26, 1961,
edition tllat the XGIs looked very
trim in their uniforms, and parked
the thousands of motor vehicles
with speed and dispatch, and
never once seemed to acknowl-
edge the heat by pushing their hel-
mets back to a cooler angle, or
loosening a collar. The XGIs were
on the job when the rodeo ended,
to see that the crowd of over
11,000 got safely on their way
home; and were just as poised
then as when the event started
hours before.

"'Besides the unplanted acres, the
compiled acreage reports show us
the current trends in crops," Krauter
said. "If you look at corn, just 10
years ago there were about 850,000
acres of corn planted in the state.
This year, even with the wet spring,
Harvest
(Continued from Page 1)
there were 2.1 million acres planted.
Barley, on the other hand, has gone
from 1.3 million acres in 2001 to just
358,000 acres this year."
Agricultural producers who
participate in FSA's voluntary
programs are required to report
and. certify their acres at their
local FSA office annually to
maintain program eligibility. In
North Dakota, FSA estimates that
o,er 90 percent of agricultural
land in the state is certified annu-
ally.
