condition SO far as they could see.
They had gone only a few blocks on
their way homeward when the alarm
was sounded.
The loss is a severe one not only to
the owners of the plant. which was
doing an immense business, but to the
town as well, for it throws between
thirty and forty employees out of work
in the winter time.
1t is hard to estimate the loss, as
the building was filed with valuable
machinery and a big stock of engines
and materials. 1t was estimated last
night that the loss would reach $4,000
or $4,000. The company carried some
insurance, but not up to the limit, ow-
ing to the high rate on the risk. The
loss on the main building and contents
is total.

HOW TO con-
SERVE MOISTURE
Theme OF Conservation Congress
How to Grow Crops In
Dry Weather

Pierre, June 27-The main theme
of the conservation congress seems
to be shaping itself largely along
the line of conservation of the moist
ure in the soil which must lead to
the development of the dry farming
proposition in South Dakota agri-
culture.
South Dakota has an average an
nual rainfall of more than twenty
inches for the state at large, but
more than half of the state has not
more than seventeen inches annual
ly. OF this twelve and one-half in
ches falls in the months of April,
May, June, July and August and in
the average wear these rains come
seasonably and with proper dlstribu-
ton so that agriculture is successful,
but there are occasional years when
crops are much injured by the fail
ure of rains at the right time. In
this respect the western portion is
little more affected than is the Sioux
valley; in fact in a recent year while
a bumper crop of corn was grown in
the west it was much injured in the
southwestern part of the state. At
Aberdeen the average rainfall since
the settlement of the state has been
greater than in any other section
except on the Panhandle near Sioux
City, and this section with its abun-
dant rainfall has its seasons when
moisture conservation is imperative.
What the average farmer must be
taught is that there is no secret
about the method, or any difficulty
which precludes him from employing
it with profit anywhere west of the
Mississippi River, or east of it too
for that matter, that it assures the
best crop possible in any year and
robs the droughty year of its ter
rors. One important function of
the coming congress will be to inn
press this truth upon the west and
especially upon all of South Dakota.
The general adoption of methods
for the conservation Of the native
moisture in the soil will add many
millions to the already vast agricul-
tural wealth of the region. The
plan produces progressive benefits.
The first year of its application bet
ter results are attained and which
r increased each year it is follow
ed up.

President Makes Good

New York Sun-People are OBJ
serving a considerable change dur
ing the last month or two in the con-
temporary estimate of MIR Taft's
personal efficiency as an executive.
This change is no more to be ignored
by any candid citizen than the fact
that last week was cold and rainy
while this week has been hot and
dusty. Out Of the turmoil in con-
gress. with the assistance of note
worthy leadership in the senate and
an adequate support among the
more forceful and sensible of repre-
sentatives, the president has brought
about a situation for the republican
party in the political sense and with
reference to the coming vote in
November which could scarcely have
seemed possible to his most optimis-
tic forethought a few weeks ago.
