THE TWO DAKO'TAS.
SOUTH DAkoTAs PROTEST.

Reports of Failure OF Crops In tho State
Flatly Contradicted.
The Chamber of Commerce at Yank-
ton, s. D., has issued the following to
the public:
WHEREAS, Many newspapers Of the country
for the. past year or two have published un-
truthful and damaging statements rs to the
failure Of crops in South Dakota, and espc-
cially SO regarding the counties Of the South
eastern portion OF the STATE, where the crops
have been fully up to the average Of the best
agricultural States in the Union; and
WHEREAS, Such papers persist in publishing
exception in regard to localities, proclaiming
the entire State failure agriculturally, because
few counties in the northern and central por-
tions of the State have suffered from drought
in the past two years; and
WHEREAS, The general average crop Of the
State. according to oil evidence at our com.
mand, supported by the official crop reports
from Washington city, is not surpassed by the
great agricultural States Of Ohio, Indiana or
Illinois. Therefore,
Res0Ued. That we earnestly protest against
the continued publication of these wholesale
falsehoods as they may relate to tue southern
portion Of the State. and especially to Yankton
County, where crops Of all kinds for q number
Of years have averaged fully up to those OF
Iowa or Illinois, and where failure Of crops
has never occurred, rs we are prepared to dem.
onstrate by the sworn statements Of o large
number Of our farmers now in our possession
and which this Chamber Of Commerce is pre-.
pared to verify.
r so,psd, That we respectfully ask the Asso-
ciated Press to do us the justice to publish the
above, thereby giving the contradiction Us wide
circulation as has been given to the inaccurate
and hprtful publications of which VIC complain.

sides, while the bed on which the wate
is to flow is left just as the man with
the hoe or shovel dressed it
It's dry weather. Nobody thinks it
worth while to prepare way for the
water which will come in the spring or
fall. When a smart rain comes and
fills the ditch, little stream struggles
along the broad, fiat bottom of the cul-
vert 1t is spread out in wide sheet.
The leaves it has brought along with it
are piled up here and there, and it
barely trickles through. A heavier
rain brings in some stones. The rough,
fiat waterway gets more and more OBJ
structed each time the water finds its
way under the road. ''Of COURSE" says
the farmer, ''culverts get stopped up"
Yes, and then they are washed out bod.
lily, and the farmer has to pay for build
ing them over again. And perhaps he
has to wait couple of weeks until the
road surveyor ge.s ready to see to mat
ters. When there is a stream flowing
all the time, who ever saw any one take
pains to have clear bed for it under
the road? There is always space am
pie for the flow, but so obstructed with
rocks or stones that, when the food
comes, the stream begins at once to at
tack the sides. Perhaps it rises and
flows over the roadway. Figures to I
represent primitive forms of culverts Of
different degrees of defectiveness, but
all of them may be found in country
roads. Fig. belongs to the ''cordu-
roy" period of road-making. A rough
log is thrown down on either side of tho

pieces are placed across them, to sup
port the planks. Fig. Q is of similar
construction, save that planks are set
up edgewise in place of the logs Fig.
8 is bad and expensive. Fig. is still
more costly, and equally bad in coz
struction at the fundamental point.
Now, lesson from the engineers who
build sewers will cost nothing. and it
may save some culverts next year. It
is lesson that pertains to the bottom,
and not to the top of the culvert, the
waterway and not the roadway. The
engineers have found that when they
want stream of variable size to keep
its course clean, the best form of pipe
or conduit for it is an egg-shaped Sec
.tion, with the small end down, as shown
in Fig. 5. The tiles rest upon planks
properly graded. Much drain-pipe is
made of this form. Then again when
they want water. to flow any
where they give their pipe down.
grade in that direction. The culvert
bottom is usually not only fiat, but
level. Water does not run fast when on
level ground. Where there is brook
to take care of. make its bed smooth in
the culvert, and on the upstream side
remove any loose, round, or other stones
which high water might lodge under
the road bed.
If it is too costly to buy an oval pipe
for the culvert, make a plank bottom.
But do not lay the planks fiat. 1t will

IRRIGATION.

A Practical Effort at Huron-What Will
lss shown vt tho State Fair.
The American Investment Company,
through their representatives. the Con-
solidated Land and Irrigation Company
of Huron, S. D., has just closed con-
tract with Swan Brothers, of Andover,
s. D., for tho sinking of large artesian
we'll for irrigating purposes seven miles
north of Huron, on land owned by the
company. Tho Huron company was also
negotiating with other loan companies,
whom they represent, for other wells.
Irrigation will be given large at
tention at the State fair. Samples Of
grains, showing comparison between
irrigated and non-irrigated products, are
being prepared by Beadle County peo-
pie for exhibition at Aberdeen. This
section of country, always deeply in
terested in the irrigation problem, will
make a strong effort to forward the in.

It Dlstllls . Deadly Perfume Which
Kills Insects and Small Birds.
A magnificent kali mujah, or death
plant of Java, has been recently received
here by Mrs Madison Black. The spec
linen, which is the only living one that
has ever been brought to this country,
was sent Mrs. Black by her brother,
jerome Hendricks, who went out as a
missionary. to the island. The kali
mujah is found only in the volcanic dis
tricts OF Java and Sumatra, and then
but rarely. Itgrows from two to three
and half feet in height, with long.
slender stems armed with thorns nearly
an inch long, and covered with broad,
satin-smooth leaves OF heart shape
and of delicate emerald on one side,
and blood red, streaked with cream, on
the other.
The flowers of the death plant are
large, milk-white and cup-like, being
about the size and depth of a large cof-
fee cup and having the rim guarded by
fine, brier-like thorns. The popularity
of the plant lies in these flowers. which,
beautiful as they are, distill continually

greatly resembles in effect, producing

headache and ringing in the ears,
which gives way to q temporary deaf
ness, often total while it lasts.
Other plants seem to shun the kali
mujah, which might be termed the Ish-
mael of the vegetable kingdom, for 1t
grows isolated from every other form OF
vegetation, though the soil may be fer

seem to avoid all contact with it, but
