Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-01-31
A Satisfactory Report.

A meeting was held last Tuesday
afternoon to discuss means Of putting
the X. A. G. club right in the eyes of
the public, and to plan for the con-
duct of the club in such a way as to
avoid criticism for the future. This
meeting was attended by Rev. Evans,
MI. Bennett, Floyd Cooper, Mr..
Thorson, MI. WOODBURY., Mr.. Ruster-
holz, Mr.. Haw and members of the
club. OH
The signed notice in last weeks
paper was discussed and it's purport
explained to the satisfaction Of all
present. Mr., Evans took occasion to
clear up the misinterpretations which
had been put upon his remarks of
Sunday night. The boys then took
up the various rumors ~ by IN and
showed that the most vicious Of them
had no foundation and that those
that had any basis had been greatly
exaggerated. Several were traced
clear back to their source and were
shown to be baseleSs.
The policy of the club has been one
of openness to any n concerned and
to emphasize this they desire it
known that the fathers, guardians or
other interested parties will always
find the doors open to them, and they
desire that If in the future any one
has criticism to make, it be brought
to the attention Of the clubs officers
and not made into irresponsible
rumor.
The meeting was held in the best
of spirit on the part of all concerned
and it must have good results for the
future of the club,

steamer Kabinga, Calcutta to Bos-

clouds suddenly appeared and a shrill
Whistling could be heard. which told
Of an approaching wind. The heat
became oppressive. The entire roof
Of the Sky seemed to split open and a

Then like the crash of a hundred
siege guns came the clap Of thun-

The waves became like cliffs and
the ship was tossed from one to an
, other. The rain fell in big drops that
We're so hot as to almost scaId those

The roar of the thunder and the
flash OF lightning were almost con-

warning the hot rain changed to- hail
that sounded like the breaking Of
plate glass as 81 fell.

that it became loosened without
breaking the glass, and the infant
corpse was revealed to those about
the grave. The child's teeth, and
all Of the facial features, as Wen as
the body We're preserved with the
exception Of being very dark.

THE SEASONS APPLE CROP.

Twenty-Five million barrels. or co.

yield Of apples this season, accord
ing to reports received by Harry ].
Nicely, secretary of the national apple
show Of Spokane, from 5000 grow
ers operating in the various belts in

The returns show that while
drought, excessive rains or pests
wrought havoc in many districts in
the middle western, eastern and sew
eral southern states the entire crop
is fully as large as in 1907, and il is
better distributed. Prices also are
higher than last year However, the
domestic supply is smaller than at
any time since 1895, for the reason
that the demands Of the export trade

A PLAGUE Of LOCUSTS
Vast Areas in South America
Rayaged by Them.


Swarms o. Them Are Sometimes Six
ty SiiIes long and Fifteen Miles
Wide Fines Imposed on Settlers
Failing to Report the Presence Of
Locust Swarms.
Vast regions in South America are
being devastated by locusts This is
Ithe third successive season in which
they have appeared in countless
swarms and every yestige Of yegeta-
ton on which cattle and sheep sub
sist is being destroyed The coun-
tries chiefly affected are Argentina,
Bolivia, southern Brazil, Paraguay
and Uruguay. In these countries the
swarms have been steadily increas-
ing for a number of years. They are
supposed to originate in the south
erly part OF the Amazon basin and in
the Chaco Of Bolivia and of northern
Argentina. They come from the
north in clouds that sometimes dark
en- the sun and some OF the swarms
nave been estimated to be 60 miles
long and from Il to -, miles wide
But these billions Of flying insects
are only the forerunners Of the
greater mischief to come.
They make desolate the area in
which they settle, but often jump
wide areas in their fight Before
they take to the wing they lay mil
lions Of eggs in the warm earth,
which in a few weeks become hop
pers. 1t is this young, voracious
brood, before it can fly, that utterly
strips the land of everything green
as though it had been burned over
Government Fighting Them.
All the governments are fighting
the evil. Two years ago the Argen-
tine government organized a com
mission for the destruction of the
locust. Last year the Argentine
congress placed $450O,000 at the
disposal Of this commission Sub
committees represent the general
commission in every department ex-
posed to these .iuvasions and they eX-
tend from the northern limit of agri-
culture in the republic to the Neu-
quen river, almost to Patagonia.
Everything possible is done to mini
mize the damage.
A fine Of 100 pesos is imposed

How They Are Trapped.

In front Of them a trench is dug
about six feet deep ana wide and 100
20 200 feet long. From each end of
the trench pieces Of sheet tin about
Is feet long and d foot and a half
high are stuck into the ground, form
ing two lines Of fence spreading fan
ike from the ends OF the trench.
But such work as this spread over
several countries is enormously ex-
nensiye and is only a palliative Of
the terrible evil, not remedy for it.
A remedy has not yet been found.
Can the plague Of locusts be quench-
ed if attacked at its head sources ?
Is there any parasite or natural enc
my Of the insect that can be intro
duced to quench the plague or miti-
gate it? Such questions as these are
now being anXiously discussed in
South America

EDUCATION BOARD
Anxious For Supplies That Fx.
coed the Appropriation.

There is the deuce to pay be-
tween Mayor Thoms, Comptroller
Russell and the department OF edit
cation regarding expenditures for
school purposes. Already some live
ly tilts have taken place between
them and the end is not yet. With
a view to keeping down expenses
and being in position to post the
department of finance as to how the
money is holding out, Mayor Thoms
has appointed committee consist
ing of the chairman of the board
of aldermen and Commissioner Nc
Elligott of the board of finance to
look over items of expenditure out
of the ordinary and charged them
to see to 1t that nothing is pur-
chased which will tend to exhaust
the appropriations before the end of
the year. The city attorney has been
asked to give an opinion on the mat
ter and 1t appears that he doesn't
think that the paper turned over
to the comptroller does not call for
an opinion from him, but the COM
missioners of the department of ed
ucation speak as if they have no
ton that the law is all on their side
and that the city attorney will so
decide when requested to do SO.
Meanwhile the committee APP
pointed by the mayor is keeping a
close watch on the movements of
its wards and it is said that the
board Of education cannot buy a
penny pencil without their knowl-
edge. Altogether 1t is apt to get
into peck of trouble, for there
appears to be a well-founded rumor
that in case they approve anything
not warranted by the regular appro-
priations the mayor is bound to hold
it up and compel tn immittee to
foot the bills themselves This has
set the committee thinking and it is
probable that they, too, will want. to
have heart to heart talk with the
city attorney and find out from him
where they are getting off in case
the worst should come.

STRICKUS MUST PAY
Borrowed 500 From LaDdlady
aud Wouldn't Return II.

Adam Strickus would rather fight
in court than pay his just debts. A
year ago he borrowed 500 from his
landlady, Mrs John Link of Green
street, to send to the old country,
and when time came for paying 1t
back he advised her to sue him so
that she would have the opportunity
of buying few plush chairs for her
lawyer" He would never pay the
money, he said, SO she engaged the
services of Attorney e. G. Bobbin
and suit was instituted. Stokes and
Blansfield handled the case for
court and to-day Judge Peasley gave
judgment for Mrs Link to recover
the full amount Of the loan.
Another case in which the same
lawyers figured in the same relative
positions was a suit for board bill
of SIS, Ursula Kibur being the plain
tiff and John Smith the defendant.
The man was called Smith because
no one in court could pronounce his
name and Smith was as good as any
other. Smiths peculiar ideas about
American liberty got him into this
predicament. He was what is called
the star boarder, for on his own adj
mission on the witness stand he paid
$3.50 week while the other board
ers paid $3.50 a week. Because he
was out of work he had IN idea that
the laws Of the country made him
immune from the bad debt collec-
tor. But Attorney Bobbin convinced
him to the contrary, having secured
Judgment for the whole bill, $25.
