How to Keep the WeeyiIs Out Of
COwDeas.

Secretary F. O.. Conant, of the
Board of Trade, has received the
following letter telling how to de-
stroy weevils in cowpeas, same
being from the U. s. Department
of Agriculture:
Dear Sir:: Your letter of Sep
tember 8. has Just come to hand
Weevil in cowpeas is best controll-
ed by the application of bisulphid
of carbon. after storing the cow
peas IN a tight bin.
The bisulphid of carbon should
be applied at the rate of three
pounds to one thousand cubic feet
Used at this strength, it will de-
stroy all the weevils which are ir
the cowpeas at the present time,
and prevent their breeding to {
second or third generation in the
peas. Weevils which attack COW,
peas. first gain access to the peal
| in the field where the eggs are
deposited upon the pods.
The insects. however. are capable
of breeding to several generations
in the stored product. depositinl
the eggs directly upon the peas. II
is to prevent the succeeding gen,
erations that the peas should bs
fumigated after being gathered ii
the field. and possibly again early
In the spring.

MORE ATTENTION
GIVEN BY FARMERS
TO STUDY OF CROPS
Good Season In Prospect With
Increased Acreage-Corn
and Alfalfa.

Huron, S. D., April l.-Soil conditions
are not so favorable for farm work as
last season, but there Is no complaint.
There is ample moisture In most places
for the proper prepare ton of fields for
seeding. The snow all Of the past win
ter was unusually light and there were
no heavy fall rains. The precipitation,
however was will distributed, and
with the moisture from melting snow,
penetrated the, earth and was enough
ito put the fields in favorable condi-
!tion for spring work. Fair weather dur
ling February permitted farmers TO be
,afield early. but little of any seeding
twas done till the second week In
March, except, possibly, on high
ground.
More than the usual amount OF
blowing was done last fall, and disc
ling of corn ground for small grain
sowing began early. Much of the
seeding up to this time has been done
Ion land planted to corn last year.
Not few farmers contemplate, break
ing large acreage which will be sown
ITO fax if seed can be had.
1t is more than likely that the corn
will exceed that of last year
quite noticeably; this is due to the
fact that no small attention Is being
given to the study Of this crop by.
farmers generally; they are making in
designations as TO seed and prepara-
tion of soil. and the result of their
study is likely to be shown in the
present years crop.
Comparatively little attention has
heretofore been given to growing of
alfalfa by farmers in this part Of the
state; now, however, they are quite
enthusiastic over this crop, and the
present season will see q multitude of
alfalfa fields in this part Of the Jim
river valley. While farmers i'm this
section are welded to wheat and corn
as their favorite crops, they are not
inclined to allow these to monopolize
all their lands but will sow other
small grain and thus reap rewards.
from each particular crop.
So far as known there liz no scarcity
of grain for seeding in this part of
the state, and there is also plenty Of
farm help.

INCOMING SETTLERS
FORCE PIONEERS TO
ABANDON THE RANGE
Intensive Method. of Farming to
Be Applied to Western
South Dakota.

VVhitewood, S. D.. March 31.-With
the passing of the range and the adop-
ton OF the herd law. many farmers
who have been deriving a part of their
living from the range cattle business,
must turn their efforts into another
course. 1t has long been recognized that
the herd law for the whole state was
but q question of time, yet some or the
old-t time ranchers were loath to give
up the range as long as the last vestige
of it survived, and chung to the range
cattle business as to other fast vanish
ing customs OF the old-time west Now
they are forced to change and those in
position to know, declare that 1t can
but result in general benefit to the
works his land on the intensive plan
almost invariably gets larger profits
and picks up the loose ends.
More Small Farming.
Hereafter the rule in the northwest
part of South Dakota, where the range
advocates have been the last to give
up is to be small farming, more of 1t,
and high grade stock. Towns spring
up each week, and the influx of set
tiers, which commenced early this year,
Is exceeding all expectations. More
than 160 carloads of immigrants goods
have passed through here for Nisland
and Newell the two new towns near
Belle Fourche, in Butte county.
Farmers are everywhere busy. Sixty
per cent. of the ground was plowed last
fall, but the other 40 per cent. is being
broken and plowed this spring. The
farmers generally predict wet spring,
and base their prediction on natural
signs.
These farmers are all figuring on
planting more alfalfa than heretofore,
and are commencing to realize it's
value. An alfalfa -four mill is to be
erected here this spring. Mich cows
and hogs are to be raised in much
larger numbers, the butter fat finding
its market here and In the larger towns
of the Black Hills. Thoroughbred
horses are also coming in for their
share of attention, particularly a high
grade of saddle horses. Sugar beets
also are being sown this spring to some
extent at both Whitewood and Vale.
and farmers declare that conditions are
especially favorable for this vegetable.

WOMAN is DRAGGED
UNDER A DISC HARROW

Washington, S. D., April Mrs.
Theodore Merritt, wife OF well known
farmer living near here. had thrilling
adventure while aiding her husband
with his farm work and narrowly es-
capped meeting a horrible death. Her
husband had been operating a pulver-
izer but, desiring to drive some cattle
our of the field. he asked his wife to
drive the pulverizer until the cattle had
been cared for. In some manner Mrs.
Merritt dropped one of the lines and in
STOPPING over to recover II she lost
her balance and fell behind the horses.
This frightened them and they ran
away, dragging the disc over her. Her
hair caught in the machine and in this
way she was dragged some distance,
expecting that every moment would be
her last. When released from her dan
gerous position 1t was found that she
had been cut and badly bruised, but the
worst injury was the straining OF the
cords and tendons in her neck and
shoulders.
