measure. He is unable to disguise the
fact that his sympathies are all with
the farmers, which is good thing for
both parties.
In part, he says: at seems to me to
be wholly one-sided affair. All the
products of the Canadian farmers are
put in competition with the products OF
the farms of our northwestern states,
and there is no compensatory reduction
of the tariff on manufactured products.
If we were getting free lumber out OF
the agreement, would vote for it; but
we are not. Rough sawed boards will
come in free, but our people do not buy
rough boards; and finished lumber of all
kinds, such as they do buy, will carry a
protective tariff We do not even get
rid of the tariff upon coal coming in
from Canada, and Canada has not
agreed to give US free pulp wood or
free wood pulp.

Il have received great many let
tiers from class of people in South
Dakota who have not been in the habit
of writing to me befores ] refer to
actual farmers, who do not care very
much about partisan politics, but who
have become very much worked up over
the Canadian treaty, and they appear
TO be very much against it as against
their interests. For instance, Peter
Holmquist, prominent farmer in Day
county. and on the line few miles west
of Webster; and whom ! have known
for many years, has written me very
strong letter claiming that the Cana
dian treaty will depress the value of
farm lands in South Dakota several
dollars an acre and complaining bitterly
because of this treaty, while it takes off
all tariff from Canada, does not reduce
the tariff upon agricultural implement
articles which farmers must buy. Ii
We can amend it by securing for our
prairie farmers in the northwest free
lumber, ] will be willing to vote for it,
but as it is drawn and submitted to US,
it does Iossl 90 me like a one-sided
affair, in which the American manufac-
turers and the packing industries and
the lumber trust are protected, while
the American farmer is exposed TO free
trade. - FRI slsf

Hit With an Az

Alfred Stinton, of Dell Rapids, was
quite seriously cut on the forehead
with an ak Thursday morning at his
home. He was chopping some wood,
and in some manner the ak slipped or
glanced and struck him on the fore
head between the eyes cutting through
his cap and cutting quite long cash
in the forehead and severing an artery,
which bled alarmingly before physi-
clan could get there and take up the
severed ends. 1t is thought he will
soon be about again, but it was rather
a close call.

MEN MUST CHOOSE
Which way TO GO
REV. A. E. PETERSON PREACHED
STRONG SERMON LAST EVEN
ING ON THE CHOICE THAT ALL
MUST MAKE-UNIoN MEETINGS
STILL GROW IN INTEREST.

Preaching to a house full of the
most interested listeners last evening,
Rev. A. e. Peterson marked one more
step of progress in the union evan
gelistic movement that has been in
progress for the past four weeks. His
audience gave him careful attention
and at the close of the meeting 1T was
said on every hand that the interest
is on the. increase rather than declin-
ing though the meetings will be
brought to a close Sunday evening.
Taking as his text that heroic declar-
alton of Joshua in which he said that
the children Of Israel might make their
own choice, but for himself and fam
lily he chose the one God, the speaker
defined the several steps that make it
obligatory upon mankind to choose
whom they will serve. 1t is a we'll
established fact, said the speaker. that
there is no neutral ground on which
men can stand. There are no on
lockers in the hattie between sin and
righteousness; all mankind are ranged
on one side or the other
Choose We whom We will serve" 1t
must be an active life of christian
service or an active life of upright
eousness, for ceven the passive sinner
by his example becomes positive
force for evil. 1T is one of the great
privileges Of mankind that they can
choose, but choose they must, because
in Gods plan man is a free moral
agent and makes his own choice.
The necessity of choice is impera-
tive, for upon the choice depends a life
-of bliss or eternal woe. The eternal
welfare of human soul is involved
in the choice which may be made. In
human happenings. unselfishness and
goodness inspire the same sentiments
in other hearts. 1ngratitude is one Of
the basest impulses which humanity
knows; why should not gratitude to
God for all His goodness inspire men
Ito faithfully serve Him2
Only one time is given in which TO
make the choice-now. Delay but glad
dens the forces OF evil, but wounds
afresh Jesus who gave himself to ram
som the world. Delay means nothing
but waste and desolation; choose this
day whom We will serve"

MAY RAISE HEMP
IF THEY WOULD RAISE MORE
HEMP AND LESS --, THE RE.
TURNS WOULD BE BETTER
HEMP PROFITABLE AND GREAT
WEED ExTERMINAToR.

North Dakota may some time gain
fame as a hemp raising center. Tests
have been made near Fargo which in
dictate that hemp of the highest quality
can be successfully grown.
Some experiments showed fibre six
feet long and any Of the Red river
valley land will grow five-foot hemp
Aside from the Kentucky hemp, the
Manchurian can also be successfully
grown for seed, but the fibre is not
so long or fine.
The yields per acre are from ten to
fifteen tons of hemp. This will yield
from two to three tons of fibre. This
fibre, If hand broken, is worth from
1920 to $3.50 on the market. If machine
broken the value is some less.
Farmers could raise hemp and break
1t in the winter months inside COM
Portable sheds.
The seed will cost about IS per acre
Even at one ton per acre of flax
fibre, 1t can readily be seen that hemp
would be an immensely profitable crop.
Even half ton would bring returns
far in excess of wheat.
But 1T is not alone as a money MAX
ing crop that hemp is valuable. 1t
shines pre- eminently as a weed ex-
Termination Frequently one crop will
clean the foulest fields, and two will
leave the land as pure as the virgin
prairie soil.
Some people advocate the growth OF
hemp on the mustard and other weedy
fields. 1t towers luxuriantly over the
weeds and strangles and starves the
pestiferous and obnoxious plant life.
