APPLE CROP is FINE

Fruit growers in the vicinity Of
Yankton are harvesting one of the
largest apple crops that has ever
been raised in the history of the
county. The local markets are full
of the early varieties and many ear
loads have been shipped from there
to other markets. With the excep-
tion of plums, which were ruined by
the late freeze in April, fruit is
abundant and tame grapes raised by
local fruit growers are already on the
market. Wild grapes are also to be
found in great abundance. The ex-
cellent rains of the past week which
amounted to over ~ inches, We're
the great benefit to late vegetables
and the late potato and melon crops
promise big returns.

RAINS ARE FREQUENT

Favors from the clouds continue to
fall and the prairies that were scorch-
ed by the heat or June and early July
have been moistened and cooled far
below the surface. Since the last
issue Of this paper, there has been a
precipitation of 81 inches, making
2.67 inches during the first six days
of August. The precipitation for
seven months and two weeks of the
year 1911 amounts to 1885 inches and
most of it has fallen during the grow
ing season. But for the unprecedent
ed heat of June and early July
there would have been no crop short
age and heat of that high degree was
never before experienced at that time
of the year.

THE CANDIDATE LINEUP BEGUN

Bat two candidates for governor
have made formal announcement of
their desires, but until present indi-
cations fail, two more formal an
nouncements will be made before the
first of September, being those of
Lieutenant Governor Byrne of Faulk-
ton, and Loomis G. Gull of Rapid
City. While there are other candi-
dates for the governorship mentioned
the probabilities are that these two,
with A. l.. VanOsdel of Yankton,
and George Egan of Sioux Falls wilr
make the list which will go into the
primaries. In the campaign last year
Egan played a lone hand, but the
indications this year are that he will
have a "ticket" running with him,
and in that line he is busy in framing
up the list he desires for running
mates. One of the first in this line
is George S. Xix of Milbank, who it
is said to be the candidate on the
Egan list for attorney general; Issen-
huth Of Redheld for lieutenant govern
or. Others to complete the list are
being looked after, and when the
show down comes, Egan will have an
organization of his own to get into
the campaign with.

oRSTRUCTIoNIsTs BUSY.

One would hardly look to the senate
for opposition to the peace compacts
between the United States and Great
Britain and France, but opposition
has developed. 1t will prevent the
ratification of the treaties during the
present session of the senate and
may eventually defeat ratification.
The first thought in this connection
is that some of the captains of in
dustry who are interested in the
manufacture of guns and ammunition
and battleships are trying to prevent
the ratification of treaties that would
disturb business some soulless cor
porations willing to fatten on the
strife that destroys human life

UNION MAY cHEAPEN LIVING

Yankton Press and Dakotan: The
breaking down of strict party lines
and uniting of all senator's who be-
lieye that there is such thing as too
much protection" may result in the
long hoped for reduction in the cost
of living. The progressive forces of
the republican and democratic organ
lZatlons who passed the wool revision
bill last week, carried the farmers
free list bill yesterday. AS there is
no doubt that the measure will carry
in the house, we will soon have an
opportunity of proving by actual eX-
perience whether it has been the
tariff, the wholesalers or the retail
ers who were responsible tor the high
price of food.

THE CORN PALACE

The people of Mitchell are going to
60 right ahead with arrangements for
the annual corn palace, in spite of
sumors that it would not be held this
year, and It will be bigger and bet
ter attraction than ever. The corn
will be in readiness for the work in
two or three weeks. and this will give
ample time to complete the decora
tions before the palace opens Septem-
ber 25. Most all of the attractions
have been secured, and q good!y num-
ber Of counties have arranged to make

South Dakota has been unable to

LET THE WEATHER REST

Aberdeen American: BY the re-
port Of the weather observer July
gave this part of South Dakota FIVE
and half inches of rain for July for
the most favored state of the union.
Nowhere is there a better showing of
rainfall than that.
Other states hereabouts, Iowa, Illi-
nois, Ohio, are all eager for moisture
but none comes. Here is rain in
plenty and it is doing world of good
to pasture, corn and late potatoes.
The trouble with South Dakota is
that we talk too much about the
weather. A couple of weeks with few
showers and the whole state is crying
for fear there will be crop failure.
The complaint is eagerly seized upon
by states nearby and the tale grows
until the state is stricken by a con-
versational drouth which is declared
to have ruined everything.
Conditions here today are not near
~ so bad as they are in Iowa and yet
before the world it is South Dakota
which is the sntferer. The chief rea-
son lies here at home because we, all
of us, magnify a dry spell into q
calamity.

CANADA'S SENATE

In all the discussions over the fate
of the reciprocity bill in Canada not
word has been said so far about the
Canadian senate, and perhaps few
Americans realize that there is such
parliamentary body in existence.
The members of the senate are ap-
pointed for life and their legislative
powers are limited. The upper house
cannot originate money or tax bill
and cannot amend such bill when
passed by the house of commons.
The Canadian senate is therefore ex-
pected to acquiesce readily in what
ever decision the lower branch may
reach as to reciprocity.

This year the number was 1927 as

twelve million which is milton and
a half less than twelve months ago.
This report is nation wide and GER
tainly reflects a greater stability in

PROFIT IN WOOL

Belle Fourche, Aug. with a
total receipt of 1920, 900 pounds, the
wool season here closed and is con-
sidered highly profitable one. The
receipts are 100000 pounds more
than in 1910, and while prices were
lower and most wool sold on consign-
ment, the grower realizes more
because of the extra weight of the
wool, the majority of the bags run
ming about 400 pounds.
