Advice to Farmers From Or. S. A. Knapp

The following circular letter to
farmers of the country has been
issued by DR.. S. A. Knapp, special
agent in charge of the Farmers
Cooperative Demonstration Work,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
Washington, ID. c., and is of pc
culiar interest to every cotton plant
er at this time, owing to the heavy
and continuous rains that have fall
len i'm this section the past few
weeks:
u. s. Department of Agriculture,
Bureau of Plant Industry,
Farmers' Demonstration Work. J
Washington, ID. c., June >, 1909.
To Agents in Boil Weevil Territory:
Dear Sir-Reports have reached our
Office covering the effect of the recent
heavy rains on cotton in boil weevil dis
tricts.
OF course the heavy rains have been
favorable to the weevil, and nothing else
could have been expected in weevil ter
ritory than that the weevil should APP
pear and be rather plentiful on the young
cotton. But our experience in this boil
weevil fight is that it is far better TO have
q wet period at this time than later, when
the plant il much larger and the squares
more numerous. The farmer is inclined
to look at the dark side of things This
early rain is rather favorable symptom
than otherwise because, in all probable
ity, il will clear off and be warm and
dry. In 1907 we had just such period
OF rain trifie later than this 1t cleared
off and IN a few weeks nine-tenths of the
weevib so far as reported, had disap-
peared. The man who theoretically clears
out his cotton as soon as the weather per-
mits and strictly follows our plan of in.
I tensive cultivation, will be quite sure to
make fair crop.
We are not afraid of these early rains
it is the late rain, because il the planter
now follows our plan and picks up the
squares for month, the weevils will bt
pretty nearly exterminated. In fact, il
everybody would do it the weevil would
do very little damage. But when there
IL q period of continuous rain after the
plant has nearly matured, it is much
more difficult problem to handle. The
: sun has less access to the plant and it il
more difficult to secure all the faller
squares.
The greatest problem with which W,
have to deal in boil weevil territory il
the hopeless view of the farmer. He wants
to pillow up his cotton and put in some
thing else, or he refuses to give hi
cotton the attention which it requires
What he needs now is more energy anC
determined purpose to make cottoI
crop. If he follows our plan thorough!
he will succeed, and in future will maxi
his crop hopefully as he did before tn,
boil weeyil appeared.
We are sending you % copies of Circu
lar No. "A"5l, a. per sample attached

Very truly,

Warning to Farmer.

This is the season of the year
When the farmer begins to plan
about his crop and is probably now
figuring on getting his fields ready
lof the plow. In a great many cases
straw piles dot the stubble fields
and are in practically the same con-
dition as they were when the thresh-
err pulled away from them last fall.
A great many farmers, especially i'm
the northern part of the state do
not keep stock enough to work the
straw up, their only means of dis
posing of these straw stacks is to
burn them. Their fires a be seen
from nov until seeding time every
night in every direction.
Mr.. Farmer, before you apply a
match to a straw pile just stop and
consider:
LIST, that the fire you set may lay
and shoulder for a week or ten DAYS
before a high wind springs up and
fans the s%mouldering embers into a
blaze which may spread to the stub
BILE or grass and do a great amount
of damage for which you are liable
to your neighbors.
End, 1t is a misdemeanor, punish
able by a fine and Imprisonment or
both. at the discretion Of the court,
for setting a fire without SO feet of
fresh blowing completely surround
ing the straw stack or stubble set on
fire.
/. Several farmers nave recently
been arrested by the state fire mar
shall and when brought before the
court have received fines and
some of these same men have been
sued in a civil action for damage
done to neighbors buildings and
crops.

given the opportunity to have the
one chance of voting on the ques-
ton, and to have it carried will re-
quire an immense amount Of work.
This will be largely due to the in
difference of the women themselves
and it is believed they will have to
work out their own salvation in this
respect. They will undoubtedly have
the assistance of many men who be-
lieve in ONE voting on all ques-
lions, but we doubt If the men are
in the majority along that line. 1T
seems that there is a movement on
foot for the club women of the state
to band together on the question and
promote it in a very earnest manner.
generally understood, has been that
the majority of ome were not
particularly interested in the move
ment, that it was left to the few to
work in it's behalf. If the women
leaders can get the rank and file of
the women to take more than an
apathetic interest in the question
there is a possibility of it's being
carried and incorporated into the
constitution. otherwise the men
will continue to do the voting and
the minority women will have to
continue their campaign work of ed
ucation to inform their benighted
sisters of what they are missing in
not being permitted to cast the free
and untrammelled ballot.

The city of Watertown is looking
ito the proposition Of having a paid
Are department. A committee of the
city council there has been making
some Investigations of the additional
expense that the city would be put to
have a certain number of men on
duty all the time. The committee
reported to the council that a paid
department consisting Of three e g
ulars and five volunteers sleeping at
the city hall could be maintained at
a cost of $3.50 more than is now
paid the full volunteer department.
This would enable the department to
have eight men at the building when
the fire alarm was turned in at night
and three during the day time, ana
would result in a big saving to prop
erty to get an early and prompt start
to the fires. The Watertown council
will continue the Investigation and
either reject or adopt the proposition
at the next meeting Of the council.
Mitchell made a move. in the same
direction when it established a chem
teal wagon service and secured a man
to remain at the department build
ing all night. 1t would only take a
little more money to make the de-

and although hundreds have been
erected in the past six years the num-
Der is constantly limited. At the
present time five new houses are un-
der construction. The larger enter
prises this year will consist OF the
new high school building on the east
side Of the city, the completion of
the federal building, which ought to
be done about the latter part of Aug
ust, the Elks building, the basement
walls of which are done and waiting
for the superstructure, and the Mil

The sum total of building for 1909

but it will cover a wider range and
add much to the home proposition

The Commercial Committee is not
overlooking the wholesale grocery
proposition simply because we hav-
emit one located here as yet. Mitch
ell has the advantages in every pos
sible way for a company to be estab-
.lished and step into a trade territory
that is unequalled in the northwest.
1t is all supplied from points IRON,
$50 to 800 miles distant, and the
business men within a radius of 100
miles of Mitchell ought to buy their
goods at closer quarters. Situated
right in the heart of practically the
most prosperous section of the
state with the largest population
within the same area, it does not
take a very discerning eye to see
that the wholesale grocery PROPOSE
ton ought to be a winner right from
the start. Commissioner Ness, in his
report to the Boosters banquet, made
a valuable suggestion when he pre-
sented the idea of forming a trust
company to handle some of these en-
terprises. He mentioned several in
situations which were ready to come
to the city if they could secure a GER
amount of local support. OF course it
is not to be expected that Mitchell
business men can turn their money
into other business affairs and hope
to keep some for their own business.
The trust company is utilized by
many other cities for this very pur-
pose and an investigation into it may
serve Mitchell fully as we'll as some
other community.

In conversation with a business
man the other day, we asked him
how his business had prospered since
the saloons of Mitchell had been clos
ed. The gentleman spoke ve.y
frankly when he said that he feared
his business would suffer with the
saloon gone, as he had always held to
the idea that the saloon was a great
aid to business, and while he did lot
care particularly for the experiment
to be tried, yet now that it had been
forced upon him, he was ready to
admit that he did not consider the
saloon as an assistant trade getter.
He found that his business was bet
ter, that there were fewer bad debts,
and that his cash trade had increased
to a very satisfactory extent, suff-
GENTLY so that he did not care to
have the saloon back in Mitchell.
This is not an isolated case by any
means in Mitchell and we are inclin-
ed to the belief from some investi-
cation along that line that the major
ity of the business men have done
as large eve a larger business since
the saloons were closed in Mitchell.
The saloon has been counted a bust
ness factor, and it is practically prov
en- that it is not. Let Mitchell keep
along the same way hereafter.
