Last Sioux Buffalo Hunt and a Ceremony at Standing Rock
In mid June 1882 at Standing Rock, Sioux leaders led a final buffalo hunt after years of pressure from U.S. policy.

Flood irrigation proves value near Winnett farm
The Elmer Eager farm near Winnett demonstrates flood irrigation advantages with a four method water spread system. Three years old, the 80 acre field yields about 20 000 pounds of alfalfa seed, and the approach allows rapid watering of up to 30 acres in six hours, with low ditch costs but erosion risk on uneven ground.
