Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-03-04

Ole Tuntland, ST., one OF the big
men and big farmers of Highland
township, was a renewal subscriber
who called Monday.
| Knute j. Hegge had his LEADER
changed from Worthing to Lennox
this week and sent along three dol
lar check for subscription which puts
him in the 1912 list.
| Cornelius Falde has moved up from
Fairview to his new home-the
Ketchum farm north of town, which
he purchased last fall for S95 an acre.
Mr.. Falde has one of the finest homes
in the county now.
Asa Hall got home from Hereford,
Meade county, last week, where he
had been visiting his daughters,
Misses Hattie and Nellie, who have
claims near Hereford. Mr.. Hall built
fine stable for the young ladies and
as their claims join, they use it be-
tween them. They are getting along
nicely and have cattle, horses, hogs,
chickens and everything needed on a
farm.
A. H. Wells, one of the Dayton
pioneers. was a renewal subscriber
who called Monday. Mr.. Wells leaves
this week for Dog Tooth, Morton
county, North Dakota. He and
others of the Dayton party go by the
Milwaukee to Mcintosh, a new town
east of Lennon, and then drive
north into Morton county. His sons
Tom and George, Frank and Ira
Root, Ed Robinson, Lowell Bodie and
others, left Tuesday night taking
along 8 cars of farm and household
supplies. The LEADER wishes them
all good luck and their success is as
sured as they are all young and pro-
gressive huStlerS. There are num-
Der of other Daytonites located near
Dog Tooth and when they get settled
and ready to have picnic next sum
mer, about thirty Daytonites can as
Semble and have real old fashioned
Dayton Hall blow out. This colony
we're all neighbors at home and theil
homesteads nearly all join in theil
new location. Lincoln county has
lost hundred or more hustling young
men and handsome young women who
are located in Wells, Hettinger anC
Morton county, North Dakota, Per
kins, Corson and Harding counties ir
this state, besides fifty or more tina,
are scattered between Oacoma, Pierre
and Rapid City, and another Lincoln
county colony is located at Roundup
Montana. Old Lincoln Is getting q
little crowded and her sons and
daughters that have gone, went tc
secure cheap government land and
make homes for themselves just as
their fathers did in Lincoln county in
territorial days. The LEADER follows
them all and through 1t they keep in
touch with home affairs, and the
LEADER will always be glad to hear
from any of them and record their
progress, prosperity and especially
the weddings.

s'The Seed Corn Peril.

We copy the following article under
the above heading from the Sioux
City Journal, and the Journals alarm
over the seed corn question is not
overdrawn. The question of pure
seed is serious one, and the LEADER
hopes every farmer in Lincoln county
and all over the state will heed the
warning. There is plenty of time
yet, but no man can tell what his
corn will do until he tests it. If his
corn is good he is safe, if his corn is
bad he will have time to find what he
wants. Poor seed means a loss of
thousands of dollars to our farmers,
while good seed means big crop and
plenty of money. No sensible man
will take the risk of planting poor
seed this year. The Journal says:
Test your seed corn.
Iowa newspapers are making this a
Macedonian Cry this year, and with
good reason. The taking Of the ad-
vice generally by farmers means tens
of millions of dollars in Iowa pockets
next winter. General disregard OF
the advice will mean relative hard
times in Iowa next winter. Corn is
not the whole thing here, but it is
the biggest thing in sight.
The special need for seed corn
warning this spring lies in the fact
that last years Iowa crop was away
below the average for productive pur-
poses. The coming of the early
freeze-up in October, without any pre-
| ,iv>o
the corn SOFT In an alarmingly large
proportion of it the reproductive germ
was killed outright. More damage
in this direction was done to corn in
the crib during the abnormally cold
weather of the winter. AS a cOnSe-
qCence an unusually large percentage
of home grown corn available for seed
is worthless for that purpose. This
is not a guess The fact has been
demonstrated in numerous tests un-
der the auspices Of the Ames expert
ment station and by private agencies.
The corn may look all right and feel
all right and yet be utterly lacking
in terminating quality. The only
way to make sure that the corn Is tit
for seed is to test it's terminating
quality and use only such seed as
proves it's fertility.
Ii all The farmers OF iowa SelecUeu
their seed corn on looks it is a practl-
cal certainty that there would not be
half an average crop of corn in Iowa
next fall. The net loss on this short
crop might be more than 800, 900, 900.
The danger is appalling enough in it's
proportions to make any one who is
interested in Iowa prosperity sit up
and take notice.
A little trouble and very modest
expense in securing seed corn that
will grow will purchase absolute in
surance against the threatened short
corn crop in Iowa this year. The
farmer who is not going to this tru-
BILE and expense is committing tnan-
cial suicide.

NATURAL ENEMY OF MOSQUITO
Fish Known as "MiIIions" Relied On to Exterminate the Pest That
 Spreads Malaria.

That the destruction of mosquitoes and the elimination of malaria should be brought about by the greedy ap petite of any tribe of the piscatorial species, seems like a far-otf and i'm probable dream, but such an event is the hope and prophecy of men who have been experimenting with 8 min ute fresh water fish from Barbadoes known as millions" (Girardinus pecil loides), 6 large number of which have recently been presented to the zoo logical gardens in London.
 They are of special interest be cause of their supposed action in preventing malaria. This disease is far less prevalent in Barbadoes than in other West Indian islands. and 1t Is claimed by many that this Is due to the presence of millions" in the fresh water pools.
 The little fish Is very voracious and destroys large numbers of the larvae of mosquitoes that spread malaria.
 It Is proposed to make experiments in the line of introducing this fish into tropical countries where malaria is prevalent,

RIVERS THAT E...l...GtE DAMASCUS
Situated In De-ert, Town Would [; UninhabitabIe Were 1t Not for
 These Two Streams.

The situation of Damascus is re
 markable-she stands isolated on an oasis of the vast desert which every. where hens her in. You may see from Damascus the sunset frs touch with purple the low western hills 25 miles away. These hills mark the beginning of the great desert--beyond them there Is nothing but a rolling waste and the long roads to Palmyra and Bagdad. The permanence and prosperity of Damascus are due to the presence of two rivers, which have converted this spot of the dreary, desolate and uninhabited desert into a smiling and well watered plain. The Pharpar approaches only within seven miles of Damascus, but by means of canals and aqueducts sends its life giving waters to the gardens of the city. The Abana is the stream from which the city's main supply of water Is obtained. Minerva like, it springs full born from the base of perpen. dicular rock at Ain Fijih, in the heart course of ten miles in gorge, large river 20 to 30 feet wide and four feet deep, its waters always fresh and Ice cold, casting out branches every. where, permeating every nook and corner of the city, until. as one has said: Literally, there is scarce street, bazaar. khan, courtyard or dwelling house which has not its mar. ble or stone fountain constantly filled with running water supplied directly by the Abana itself" Thus. the Aba ma, not fruitlessly wasting her waters on that thirsty land, saves them in her narrow gorge till she can fling them we'll out on the desert, and ex- bends all her life at once in the crea. tion of single city.-Biblical World

 Shouting, Back to 'em, Teddy,

 And solemnly bowed.
 He rode in his saddle, and rod, on his head, and he put all the tenderfeet under the bed. He dashed to the East, and he dash ed to the West, and he halted be- fore them, expanding his chest. saying, "Three cheers for Teddy, the pride of the West!" and they took a great pleasure in doing the rest.

SINCE D0 General Grant was a

candidate tor a third term we have heard of the "man-on-horseback" as a fear of what will sometime happen in this republic. The dread has now seized the minds of many people through the evi- dent intention of Theodore Roosevelt to make himself master of the Republican par ty. They fear that he is a candidate for a third term, and if elected-then for a fourth term, and thus gravi- tate to the man-on-horseback. This dread of usurpation by any man should not disturb any sensible person. The pa triotism of the great majority of the American people would rebel against any such at tempt, and any coterie Or par ty who would endorse such a movement would be smother ed under an avalanche of op- posing votes.
 There is but one danger to guard against; and that could only be imminent in conse- quence of a long war with some foreign nation in which a great and successful gener- al would be developed, with out whose efforts defeat would be probable, or if defeat oc- cured he would seize the reins of government in conse- quence of the exhaustion of the civil power following an overwhelming disaster.
 But there are no grounds for fearing such a catastrophe In the near future it is proba- ole that, as the people gain more power, both the army and navy will be reduced in= stead of being increased as the republican leaders have long desired.
 Those timid souls who dread the future, and those who imagine such a vain hing as usurper, can rest lssured that the great mass of the people of the United States will stand firm for the Constitution and the laws based upon 1t and Democracy which is founded thereon.

THE ELECTION IN

greatest victory that the Maine Democracy has had in more than fifty years. The Democrats swept the Pine Tree State electing three Congressmen out of five and an overwhelming Democratic legislature, which insures a Democratic Senator in the next Congress.
 This victory is sure indi- cation of the great Democratic Landslide that will take place in November, as even a close Republican victory indicated in the past, a Democratic vic tory in the nation, as Maine is a rockribbed Republican state.
 It was exactly twenty years ago that the Democratic par ty won it's greatest victory since the days of Andrew Jackson. In 1890 the Demo crats elected 24o members in the house of Representatives and the Republicans elected a little measly So. This was a revolt against the high handed rules of Speaker Reed of Maine, during the Harrison administration. The tremen- dous revolt that is going on now over the country and which will undoubtedly re- suit in greater Democratic landslide in November than that of 1890, is due to a large extent, to the high handed methods of Speaker Cannon in the House, supplemented by the crushing and brutal methods of Senator Aldrich il. ruling the Senate. They even hoodwinked President Taft.
 When a party remains in power for a long time the leaders cease to be merely leaders, and endeavor to be- come masters and remain SC until the people get a good whack at them.
