TO AID CORN GROWERS
Corn Convention Will be Held at
Mitchell Sept. 90, During
Week of Corn Palace.

Corn production is looking up in
South Dakota. It's area is extending
every year. The time vas not long
ago when it was thought impossible
to grow the grain much farther
north than Yankton. Now its being
grown successfully within a safe
season considerably over half way up
the state. The northern border
counties are growing it to some
extent but they are not making the
speciality OF. it that is being done
farther south. but it is gaining
ground up that way.
a. e. Chamberlain. of Howard,
the superintendent of farmers insti-
tutes. when he was in this city
several weeks ago, talked the mat
ter OF Il COIN growers convention
f0r MilchGll during the week of the
com palace, and it met with a
hearty response OH the part of the
business men. who offered and
agreed to do all i'm their power to
make the convention a success. MIR.
Chamberlain expressed the opinion
at the time chat o attention
should be paid to production OF
On q scientific basis, and get
all there was out of the soil. III .as
his idea that corn is not being
produced IN a proper manner in
Sou y Dakota and he believes that
a convention held annually would
result in the dissemination OF much
good inform alton Tor t8ose VIC are
engaged in the business. Acting on
this idea Mr. Chamberlain has issued
a call for a corn growers conven-
tion, which reads as follows:
At the solicitation of numerous
corn growers lie different parts Of the
| have concluded to call a
meeting at Mitchell. S. d.. on Sep
TENDER 2S, at 4 O'Clock p M, for the
purpose of organizing an annual corn
show and corn growers convention
for the state of South Dakota. All
growers Of corn are cordially in

vited to be present at this meeting
and assist In the organization OF an
association which l believe will do
more good to the state than aEy
other organization that could be
formed at this time. The details OF
the organization and the corn show
will be worked out by those present.
The Commercial club Of Mitchell
has agreed to put up. in cups and
cash $500 annually Tor three years,
to pe competed for at the show to
be held by the association. In adj
dltion to this we expect to be able to
procure a large number OF premiums
In the way OF corr implements form
manufacturers, and to present IL
premium list which list is not eX-
celled by any other state in the
Union.
There is no doubt but what South
Dakota is farther behind her posi-
bilities i'm the production OF corn
than along any other line and we
hope by the organization Of this
association to create more interest
in this line OF South Dakota fam
ing.
The date selected for this meeting
is during the corn palace week, when
there will be very cheap excursion
rates from all .points. ami special
trains from a large portion OF lelii-
tony tributary to Mitchell.
We nope for a lar.e attendance AT
this time. Respectfully.

Supt. Farmers Institutes.

WILL RESIGN Passionate
Rev. Mr.. surbeck Has Given Notice
That He Will Retire From
Presbyterian Church.

Rev. j. S. Surbeck, WHO has been
the pastor of the Presbyterian
church for the past three years
rather surprised his congregation
Sunday morning when he announced
that lie gave notice of his intention
to resign from the p%astorate of the
chnlch. His resignation will be
made formally before the church
body Sunday morning next.
Mr.. Surbeck gave as his reason
that he had been with the church
long enough and that he had accom-
plished as much here as ..le could do,
and for that reason preferred to
give up the work under successful
circumstances, and he feels that he
has worked hard for the betterment
of the church, both in a financial
way and in the matter of increasing
the membership Of the chu1ch. He
recently returned from his two
weeks vacation trip and reached the
conclusion of resigning after his re.
turn.
At the present time Mr.. suIbeck
stated that he had no definite open
ing for a pastorate. but that he was
in correspondence with several
churches which are in need of a
pastor.
