KILLING WILD MORNING GLORY.
A study of the best methods Of the

A study Of the best methods Of the
eradication Of the bindweed, or wild
morning glory, has been made BY the
department Of agriculture. and the
data collected have been published as
farmers bulletin No. 366. which may
be had by making request Of the de-
partment. Three methods are recon-
mended ~ practical for the eradica-
ton Of the weed, which, like the
quack grass and Canada thistle, Is 80
serious because Of its propagation
through underground root stalk sys-
TENS. The hrst method is clean cul-
tivation every week or ten days with
some knife cultivator during the en-
tire growing season of the plant.
which extends from the spring to the
fall frosts. The second method Is by
seeding an infested neld to alfalfa.
The benefit Of this method lies in the
frequent cutting, which weakens the
vitality Of the morning glory. while
the dense and rapid growth of the
alfalfa exerts q smothering effect. A
cultivated crop should follow the al
falfa and any remaining plants killed.
A third method which has been found
successful Is the fencing OF Of the
infested spots and turning In drove
Of hogs, whose ration of feed should
be reduced while they are at work on
the weeds. They not only browse the
tops close to the ground. but II they do
not have rings in their noses will dig
deep for the roots, which taste much
like the sweet potato and Of which
they are very fond.
While the hogs may be turned into
morning glory fields as pasture
quicker and more satisfactory results
are obtained II the field is plowed and
the hogs then turned In. The blowing
loosens the roots and makes them the
more accessible. Conditions may rem
der . second or third blowing during
the season advisable. For small
patches Of the weed artificial smother
ing material, such a. building paper
manure, beet pomace or straw, may b<
used effectively. but with these ma
terials care must be taken to see tina
the covering is as nearly air tight Al
possible.

le Johnston
)rn Binder
In these times Of excessively high prices for
hay and all rough feed II becomes necessary
for the farmer to determine just how he can
best save the real food values that he knows
are present in corn fodder.
But to get these values at their best he must be
able to harvest the corn when il IS ripe, to cut
the fodder just at that time when II IS neither
too green nor too dry. And to do this he must
rely upon some other methods than the old
fashioned cutting by hand.
The Johnston Corn Binder IS the result Of this
demand for something that would enable the
farmer to harvest his corn quickly, economical
" and surely. II is a perfected corn binder; Il
has none Of the poor points that have made
other binders Of uncertain value.
It light and compact, yet strongly built N ev-
cry particular. The frame, the wheels and sup
porting beams are Of strongest steel, It IS Of
light draft and there is no neck weight to bur-
den the horses. Two horses are ample for its
operation.
It is well balanced and can not tip over on
steep side hills; its moving parts work on roller
and brass bush bearings; il runs smoothly and
evenly.
The corn is bound in an inclined position. Eth
er a horizontal or vertical position is unnatural
and can not produce the proper binding. Il
has no packers to twist and tangle the corn
and knock off the ears.
II works perfectly IN tangled and down corn; Il
picks up the Iow-Iying stalks as well as The
straight standing ones. II has automatic con-
veyor fingers and automatic gates. The cut
ting apparatus consists Of three knives and
one center plate; II does It's work as no other
cutter ever has.
It's the machine Of results, not claims: L Is tie
machine that does as well IN the field q 4 does
on the printed page; It IS the machine that win
prove a real corn fodder saver.
Iii the machine for you. Come and see i and

RAPID CITY, SOU TIL DAKOTA FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER
Power for Mining Purposes

Mr.. Paul M. Lincoln. of Pittsburg,
Pa, one of the consulting engineers
Of the Westinghouse Electric & Man.
ufacturing Company, Of East Pitts.
burg and member of the American
Institute Of Electrical Engineers,
was registered at the Kleemann
House Monday. His visit here was
for the purpose of determining the
available power obtainable in this
district as well as that required by
the Westinghouse e. 81 M. Company
in it's mining operations here and if
sufficient to warrant the construction
of an electric transmission line from
Pactola. where the power plant Of the
Dakota Power Company is situated
Mr. Lincoln came to Custer at the
instigation of Judge McGee, of Rapid
City, who had advisid Mr.. Grantham
of the intended visit and was met at
the train by several business men of
the city. He was then turned over
to the care Of L. M. Mcbride, also a
member of the American Institute
Of Electrical Engineers, to place be-
fore him the possibilities here for
power.
A trip was made to the New York
mine in w. M. Lovett's automobile
the party consisting Of Mcbride, Lin
coin, Menger, Haxeltine and Lovett-
where Mr.. Lincoln was shown about
the mine by Acting Superintendent
Harris, in the absence of Superinten-
dent Joseph Pyne, after which he
was supplied with data by Mr.. Nc
Connell concerning the power required
at the various mines Of the Westing-
house 3 & M. Company, cost of fuel,
etc. Mr.. Lincoln also discussed the
possibilities of this district with r.
w. Delicate, w. w. Olds, Henry Way
and others.
The transmission line, if constructed
will cost approximately 100000 and
will transmit power at $4,000 volts,
three phaZe, Alternating current.
The total power consumed in this
district at present would amount to
about 750 horse power or $50 kilowats,
about 4S5 k. W. of which would be re-
quired by the Westinghouse mines,
so k. W. for lighting our city and the
balance for various mining operations
The transmission line would come
through by the way of either Hill
City or Keystone and distribute power
for mining purposes in these districts.
In the event Of this project going
into effect, it will mean plenty of
cheap power for mining in this dis
trict and which is one of the princi-
pal disadvantages to the development
of the mines about here at the pres
ent time.-Custer Chronicle

The Best Results

The Ohio Retail Shoe Dealers asso-
citation which has just adjourned at
Sprintield, Ohio, in it's resolutions de-
clared that newspaper advertising
was the best trade-bringing medium
for its business, and all members
were urged to contine their advertis-
ing to that form. Many members de-
clared that they had tried other
forms of advertising but they declared
that the results from newspaper ad-
vertising overshadowed all other
kinds. 1t was also decided by the
convention to dispense with bazar
contributions and program advertis-
ing as pure waste.
The action Of this important bust
ness association is noteworthy be-
cause it's members have made various
experiments in advertising, and as a
straight business proposition, they
have decided that these experiments
90 not pay. When advertising is put
into a newspaper, it goes into the
home in the same medium that car
ries the news OF the world, and peo-
pie can read the news without at
least glancing at the advertising.
After while many people learn that
the advertising columns of news
paper are among it's most interesting
pages, and those advertisers who thus
secure reading clientele are
those who get the big results from
advertising. The true secret of sue
cess in the line of advertising is to
keep everlasting at it, to devote as
much care to advertising selection as
the choice Of clerks or the purchase
OF goods, and to make good at the
counter the offers made to the public
in the advertisement. Those who do
this will make an advertising invest
ment pay big returns. These who
fail to do this are pretty likely to be
wasting their money.-Argus Leader.

much of shock as Republican VIC

The Ten Commandments of
Dry Farming

lie who obeys these precepts shall
reap abundant crops. He who vic.
lates them shall be punished by de.
creased yield in proportion to the
transgression."
|. Thou shall plow deep.
Deep plowing permits rain to pene-
trate the soil easily and without run
ming off, also provides more feeding
space for plant roots and makes avail
able more plant food.
IL. Thou shall keep the. surface
soil loose.
This prevent soil moisture from
evaporating and conserves the rain
T. Harrow grain after it is up two
Inches or use Weeder.
Ill. Thou shall cultivate level.
Level soil afford the least exposure
TO the air and will take in rainfall
faster than ridged soil.
lV. Thou shall summer fallow.
This should be practiced in all dis
trlcts where the annual precipitation
is less than Is inches, as it conserves
two years rain for one crop and kills
weeds and plant diseases; land should
be cultivated. Where the yearly
rainfall is more than Is inches corn
is as good preparation for crop as
the bare fallow.
Y. Thou shall add organic matter
to the soil.
This holds moisture and plant food,
improves mechanical condition of the
SOIL and lesson washing, drifting and
blowing. Stable manure is the best
form, PloW weeds under while green.
vi. Thou shall keep down the
weeds.
Weeds consume moisture and plant
food, crowd plants, shade crops, re-
tard plant life and make land work
harder.
VII. Thou shall grow early matur-
ing crops.
Conditions for growing are best in
the early summer; winter grains are
better than those sown in the spring.
VIII. Thou shall grow corn every
three to five years.
The cultivation required for corn
saves moisture, kills weeds and plant
diseases. Corn is the best prepara-
fion for a grain crop: it produces more
food and fodder per acre than other
crops. DO not hill up the corn, as
this wastes the moisture.
TX. Thou shall grow clover or al
falfa every few years.
Rotating with these grasses adds
fertility and organic matter to the
soil; kills weeds and diseases of plants
and produces an excellent hay and
valuable seed crop.
X. Thou shall keep stock.
The most profitable way of market
ing grain and fodder is through stock,
which produces the manure necessary
to the soil and bring prosperity and
plenty to the dry land farmer.

James j Hill At the Corn
Palace

Mitchell citizens are congratulating
themselves upon the fact that James
}. Hill has promised to appear on the
opening program at the Corn Palace.
Monday afternoon, September 26th,
at which time he will deliver an ad-
dress, the exact subject of which has
not yet been Indicated.
Mr.. Hill has great many demands
upon his time, and on occasions his
business affairs, which naturally have
the preference, take him away from
home and the possibility of such a
condition is the only string attached
to his promise.
1t is safe prediction that Mr.. Hill
will have something of exceptional
interest TO say to his audience on this
occasion and it is our opinion that
the Corn Palace management has
been exceedingly fortunate in obtain
ing his consent to appear, and that
those who go to hear him will not be
disappointed.
Judging from reports as we'll as
from the advertising the Mitchell
people are putting out, Corn Palace
visitors this year, will get their
moneys worth several times over and
Mitchell has once more demonstrated
her ability to make good. Incident
ally, it is quite pertinent to comment
right here, on the fact that there is
one price, only, at the Corn Palace.
Fifty cents admits you to the whole
show.
In other places this is only the be.
ginning OF the cost for show OF
equal merit.
