A CROP OUTLOOK.

From all that can be gathered
by talks with the farmers says a
Pierre dispatch, and general reports
from all over the state the crop situa-
ton is peculiar. Spotted" is about
the only word which will effectually
cover the situation as it appears to
stand. The reports all range from
splendid to failure, and this is not con-
fined to any one particular portion of
the state. Practically all of the rains
have been local" and the crop con-
ditions depend upon where they touch
ed and the amount of rainfall they
brought. There are strips of country
in which the local rains were heavy,
and came at the right time, and the
crop in that section Is in splendid con-
dition. In the same township there
will be another strip in which the To-
cal rains were light, or did not touch
at all, and there the situation Is
shaded off, depending upon the range
of moisture, ranging from the good
down to the practically nothing. The
grass and small grain have been most
seriously affected by this condition.
The hay crop promises to be very short
and light, and the prices will likely
range high for the coming winter. The
small grain, while affected largely by
the rainfall or lack Of it, has also been
affected by the manne Of seeding
Where it IA drilled in deep it has
stood the lack of rain far better than
where it was broadcasted and dragged
in, and the failure is generally in the
shallow sown fields. But where the
showers missed entirely the manner o.
seeding did not help much.
Corn is generally in fair condition
and in many localities in first class
shape. While the situation mean Z
short crop for the state, the situation
is far from what it a in the OLE
drought" years, which affected a large
part of the state. The situation means
that grain for shipment will be fal
below the average for many years.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS.

Governor Vessey has given an Off
cial endorsement to the work Of the
dry farming congress which Is to be
held at Rapid City the IS and 10 Of
the present month. He says: BE
lieving that this meeting is n which

kOta, inasmuch as the same Is to be
given over to the discussion of var
ious subjects Of vital interest to the
state, relating to the general improve
ment Of farming methods, climatic
and soil conditions, irrigation, dry
farming and other germane topics and
realizing that too much importance
cannot be attached to such a meeting,

ton, indorsing the work and manage
ment of the dry farming congress and
urging that as many as possible of our
citizens attend the conventions at Rap
id City, follow its workings, and take

CHEATING

Harry Newcomb, who buys cream
for the Hanford Produce company of
Sioux City, was proven guilty of cheat
ing farmers on the test of their cream
and fined $40 and costs, which amount
ed to $25, before Judge Carter last
Wednesday afternoon.
1t was proven that a can of cream
weighing SO pounds and testing 80
per cent butterfat was brought to
Newcomb by Will Bennett and he
weighed and tested it at SO pounds
and 20 per cent of butterfat. State
Dairy Expert A. P. Ryger made the
first test and then sent Mr.. Bennett
over to the Hanford station with the
can of ream Newcomb made no
defense, but Attorney Warren who ap-
peared for him argued that there
might have been a mistake. The judge
however, did not look upon it as d
joke or mistake and fined him.
This is one of the companies doing
business in the Northwest, and the
method followed here is no doubt the
method by which it and other monopo-
listic concerns have put the creamer-
les all over the country out of bust
ness. A few farmers are at first given
d Dig test 10 get them dissatisfied
with the creamery and secure their
patronage. Through them the neigh
bors are reached. Then the test man.
ipulation is commenced and the farm
err is skinned while the creamery is
killed. After the creamery is gone
the farmers are at the absolute mercy
of the trust, and will have to take
the price and test it gives them or
feed their cream to the hogs.-Flan'

IS ILLEGAL TO
BLEACH FLOUR
SAYS THE JURY IN KANSAS CITY
CASE.
PROF. SHEPARD IS UPHELD
DECISION Is A BIG VICTORY
FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

The jury in the government cases
against the bleached -four manufac-
.turerers at Kansas City last week
brought in a verdict declaring the
-four to be adulterated and misbrand-
ed. There is considerable local inter-
est in this case, as Prof. Shepard, who
is recognized as one Of the foremost
authorities on pure food, was n
of the governments principal witness
es at the Kansas City hearing and his
contentious that bleached -four was
adulterated and injurious to- the hu-
man system were upheld.
A Kansas City dispatch says: The
verdict returned after seven hours
deliberation was a complete victory
for the government which prosecuted
the suit under the national pure food
and drug act.
The government charged that the
-four was adulterated in that it was
bleached by the Alsop process, which
means use of peroxide nitrogen in
bleaching -four.
Misbranding was charged in that
the -four seized was labeled fancy pat
ent -four, and the government contend
ed it was not a fancy patent -four be-
cause it was not made from a first
grade hard winter wheat.
Millers say that the bleached -four
decision will handicap the farmers of
the southwest to the extent of from
$4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 a year. They
say the old differential of five cents
per bushel in vogue in Chicago and
st. Louis markets five years ago be-
fore bleached -four came in will soon
appear again.
They further say that the farmers
of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Nebraska will lose five cents a bush
ell or their present crop and that hard
wheat will soon be selling at twenty
five cents a bushel less than at pres.
ant Already millers are considering
the establishment. Of bleaching sta

LAW CASE.

Judge Garland of the United States
court in Sioux Falls, has taken under
advisement a case which is expected
to determine the cOnstitutionality Of
what is known as the double indemnity
law, enacted by the state legislature at
it's 1907 session.
The suit was instituted by the
United States government, the Chi
cage, Burlington & Quincy Railroad
company being the defendant. The
government seeks to recover from the
railroad company damages in the sum
of S42,793 for the destruction of tim
Der by fire alleged to have been start
ed by sparks from a locomotive be-
longing to the railway company on
its lines In the Black Hills.
The actual value of the timber de-
stroyed by the fire was $20,517.42-
one-half of the amount sued for less
the interest. N. X. Griggs, an attorney
OF Lincoln, Neb., argued the case be-
fore Judge Garland for the railway
company, while the argument in be-
half of the government was made by
United States Attorney E. E. Wagner.
The railway company based its de-
tense on the contention that the
double indemnity law is unconstitution.
al. for the alleged reason that it is
in conflict with both the state and
federal constitutions. Owing to the
Importance of the case it may be sew
eral days before Judge Garland rend-
ers his decision.

are to be fed and the best stage is
when the grain is in the soft dough
stage. Feed with care when first
beginning.
Rye
Winter rye can be sown during the
part of August, or ever earlier,
and if the conditions are favorable
will furnish some late pasture. It's
value, however, is in that it will come
very early in the spring and is greatly
relished by all stock. Sow with a
drill as you would wheat, oats or bar
ley. Winter rye sown at the rate of
five or six pecks is recommended.
Taking time by the forelock cannot
be too strongly emphasized. Now is
the time. This is the critical period
to- prepare for emergency. Do not say
tomorrow but do it today.
Where to Get Seed
Secure seed at the nearest source of
supply; the neighbors, stores or seed

EGAN FILES A PETITION.

George w. Egan, the defeated in
dependent candidate for governor, has
filed a petition with the supreme court
praying for reinstatement to practice
in the courts of the state. In his Pc
tition he apologies to the court for
anything he may have said or publish
ed in any way against that tribunal
or any of its members. AS several
of the members of the court are eth
er taking vacations or preparing to
do so it is not likely that any action
will be taken upon his petition until
it can be acted upon by the members
of the court later in the summer.

attending the entertainments.


A debate ON the question of woman's
suffrage attracted a large audience on
Tuesday afternoon and they were we'll
repaid for their time and trouble.
The ladies side of the question was
defended by Miss Gertrude Won Pet
gold Of London, while Senator Shirley
Gillilland of Iowa, threw cold water
on the suffrage arguments. Both
speakers were a little warm in their
expressions at times, which made the
debate all the more interesting to the
audience. Miss Won Petzold has not
been in America very long, and is
handicapped by a lack Of mastery Of
our language, but at that she kept
Mr.. Gillilland very busy. The out
come of the debate Is a matter of
opinion, depending principally upon the
hearers sympathies with or against
the suffrage movement.
Tuesday evenings programs was
opening by the Tennessee Jubilee sin
gers, after which Miss Rita Rich en-
tertained the audience for a about an
hour with a very pleasing program OF
Indian songs and dances, Irish melo-
dies and juvenile representations. She
was especially good in the latter, al
though all her efforts were warmly APP
plauded. She has a sweet and clear
voice and costumes appropriate to the
different characters added to the eff
feet.
Prof. Voelker, the platform superin
tendent, paid a deserved tribute to
the citizens of Brookings, particularly
so much to make the chautauqua pos
sible and the cheers which he pro
posed for them were given with q
right good will.
One of the best public addresses evel
given in Brookings was delivered a
the afternoon session yesterday b!
Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska
The senator spoke for an hour and
half and held the closest attention O
his audience throughout. Senate
Brown is an orator with few equal
and those of our citizens who faile
to hear him missed a rare treat. Hi
principal topic was the propose
income tax amendment to the constit'
ton, which he introduced in the Unite
States senate and which is now b,
fore the state legislatures for rati1
cation. He explained the amendmel
thoroughly and in an interesting WI
and urged the people of the state
use their influence with the legislatu
to the end that SOUTH Dakota may IA
; fly the amendment. The gentleman W;
introduced by Hon. Philo Hall.
The afternoon program was opene
by NOrton's band and orchestra an
in the evening they were the attra'
ton that drew a big house, havin
the program entirely to themselves
They proved to be we'll able to do a
the entertaining and furnished the bes
music of the week and received man,
deserved compliments. They will ap
pear again on the two programs today
