The crop was entirely out OF danger
by October, having passed the point
where frost could do it any further
damage and the ears are said to be
as hard as any found in the neigh
boring states east or south.
The truth is instead of being
ruined by frosts as the lying reports
bad it, South Dakota now has in her
fields a bumper crop of first class
corn. 1t is nearly tw ice what it was
two years ago, when the yield was
S2,725,000 bushels. The state also
shows a splendid advance in wheat,
which this year amounted to $4,000,

100000 bushels of oats and other

SLANDERING THE NORTHWEST
How South Dakota Has Refuted
of Injury to Crops by Early
FrOsts.

The Western Farmer, of Indian
apolis, has the following good article
in regard to the false reports con-
corning the crops of the northwest,
and particularly of South Dakota:
If Jack Falstaff were alive today
he could repeat with even greater
gusto than he did when carousing
with his tavern cronies: ooh how
this world is given to lying!"
While the tendency to falsify is a
universal human failing, it seems
that there~is a special weakness for
lying about the crops and weather.
Much of this, doubtless, is due TO
the spectators, who send out favor
able or unfayorable reports for the
purpose Of effecting the markets,
but much of it is due to fondness for
the sensational and the irresistible
tendency of some people to "go off
half cooked" An instance in point
is that famous crop scare about the
middle of September, which was due
to reports that a severe and untimely
frost had about done the business
for the corn crop in the northwestern
states and inflicted untold damage
upon the agricultural interests Of a
widely extended area.
AS is well known, a lie once we'll
started is v overtaken by the
truth which comes trotting along in
heavy shoes far behind the fleeting
jackass rabbit that is running ahead
away out Of sight, Thus, the real
facts about that September freeze
are just getting in by slow freight.
but it is interesting to note how com
pletely they contradict the original
scarehead. South Dakota; which was
a chief sufferer by the false report,
is to the front with q grand remons-
trance against the damage it caused
to its adaptability for agriculture
and1its splendid showing of farm
products for this year. "The great
fall of snow" reported in the dis
patches took place in the Black
Hills, where there are no crops to be
injured. 1t is the eastern counties
OF the state that are devoted to
agriculture and the fine crops grow
ing there were not touched by the
snowfall. AS to the damage from
frost that followed the storm the
reports were greatly exaggerated.
The color Of the corn leaves was
turned in sections where there was
frost, but as a rule the stalks and
ears were left unframed. Three
fourth's of the states crop was safe
at the time of the frost and it is
claimed that four-ffths OF the corn

happy one.


The people of this city were very

HI. Belts early that morning. While
Mr.. Belts had been III poor health for a
number of years, yet he never com
planned and was so frequently seen on
our streets that few knew of his physi-
cal infirmities. About three weeks ago
he was taken much more serious and in
spite of the best medical attention grad
ually failed until death came Co his
relief Monday morning.
Edwin H. Belts was born in Deer
field, o., May %, 1890. At an early
age he moved to Illinois, At Wood
stock, ILL.,, he was united in marriage
Oliy> e. Rogers, who with a son, A. G.
Belts, of Cresco, Iowa, and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Clara Blanks, of Pleasant
Hill, Tenn, and Miss Eyangie Belts, OF
this city, survive him.
In 1880 the deceased came t o this city
located the claim which was his home
at the time of his death. The family
followed in 1888.
Mr.. Belts was a conscientious and
consistent Christian having united with
the Christian church at an early age, he
remained steadfast to that belief and
died in that faith. His was a loving
nature. For him There Was No Place
Like Home" aud in his home he was a
kind and affectionate husband and
father. lie was a good neighbor and
an honorable man.

Save The Forests.

Apparently there is only one reason
for the terrible floods and droughts
which alternate in spreading desola-
ton throughout the Mississippi val
ley. 1t is that arch enemy of every
body-the destroyer of trees If the
vast forest lands of the West and Mid
die West had not been denuded of
their natural covering. scientists tell
us we would not have the record
breaking flood which has wrought
ruin in several states. And, two
years ago, the same scientists told us
that if the forests had not been de-
stroyed we would not have had the
terrible drought that burned millions
of dollsrs' worth of corn on the stalk.
And there is no doubling the scien-
fists in either case. Forests are the
protectors of mankind. They not
only attract rainfall. but they proper
" absorb the moisture. They pro-
tect the SHOWS of winter and thus
guarantee a steady flow of water at
the sources of streams. But, in spite
of these things, the American people
have stood idly by and watched the
Unsuitable sawmill cut its way through
forests that have stood for ages No
thing has been done toward reforestra-
tion, and III consequence, when the
people have finally walked up to the
serious nature of affairs, the damage
has been done.
There is no country in the world
where the tree destroyer has fiourished
as he has in America. In Germany,
where forestry is little short of an
art, man with portable sawmill
would be quickly dealt with as pub
lie menace. But America, seeming
ly, has not realized the value of her
forests until they have been all but
destroyed
The lessons of the drought and
flood seasons have been bitter ones,
but doubtless there will be more to
come if the present destruction of
timber goes ON, and if greater head
way is not made in the work of re-
forestration. Denver Republican.

The Floods.

The flood weapon is the one that is
being used from one end of the coun-
try to the other this year by the De-
stroyer Until Sunday calamities of
this character had been confined to the
middle west, the east aud the south,
but the disaster that has practically
wiped out the little town of Heppner.
in Oregon. brings to the people of the
west a realizing sense of the greatness
of such catastrophes.
With almost no warning whatever
a wall of water rushed down the can
yon upon the people of Heppner. They
had no opportunity to save their be-
longings only few were able to save
their lives People. homes. business
houses. livestock. all were swept along
with the resistless wave. 1t will
probably be many days before we have
accurate knowledge of the number of
dead and. what is of far less import
ance, the amount of property destroy
ed.
The sympathy of the people of Utah
and other western states as well as
the sympathy of people generally,
will 90 out to the Oregon sufferers.
Theirs is sorrow into which the ray
of hope can shine but feebly. Sur
rounded by their dead and the desola-
tion that marks the spots where only
a few days before were happy homes,
it will not be surprising if. for the
present, their faculties are paralyzed.
