He was highly esteemed by a large

his o%penhearted generosity and ster-
ling honesty. He was a man of strong
convictions and always earnestly ad-
vocated the rights Of the people as

A small boy with a gun brought
sorrow to two families in Sioux Falls
last week. Three little fellows went
out to shoot gophers. One of them
took aim at a gopher and another ran
in front Of the boy about to shoot and
was killed, then the other two ran
home leaving their little companion
to die. His body was found about 9

| fire arms from children. The little
fellow who was killed was 9 years old.
Mrs. Sadie Eastcott left for Mitchell
last Saturday evening where Mr..
Eastcott is cashier of the freight de-
partment Of the Milwaukee road.
Mr.. Eastcott'S new position is a pro-
motion from Canton and his Canton
friends believe Tom will keep on ris-
ing higher and higher. He is faith
full and reliable and just the kind Of
a young man that will climb up in
the railroad service and the Milwau-
kee is lot slow in recognizing merit.
Joe Chopper was in Sioux City last
Saturday and the Sioux City Sunday
Journal has this to say Of him. Joseph
Chopper, grain buyer for the South
Dakota Grain com pany, was in Sioux
City yesterday from Canton, S. d..
Mr.. Chopper said the spring and win
Ger wheat throughout South Dakota
never was in better condition than at
this time. The grain has formed a
mat, has a healthy color and has been
coaxed to grow under the most favor
able conditions.
Ben Cole of Sioux Falls was in Can
ton last Friday looking after the
heating plant contract for the East
side school house. Mr.. Cole is a
member of the M ms Powers Com
pany of Sioux Falls, and is one of the
best mechanical engineers in the
state. Ben is a master workman and
knows everything about plumbing,
steam filing and engineering. He was
engineer at the Soldiers Home when
the writer was on the board of COM
m%issioners, and we know whereof we
speak when we say he is a Master in
his profession. He put in a new heat
ing plant at the Home and erected a
new smoke stack, and in the whole
transaction saved the state nearly
three thousand dollars as compared
with bids to do the work, and the
Home has today one Of best heating
plants in the state.

The best stage OF maturity at which
this sorghum should be cut for high.
est feeding value is just before the
plants have headed out and after they
have made a good substantial growth.
This stage is happy medium between
the time when the seed is formed and
the stalks have become woody, and
on the other hand the stage at which
the stalks are very soft. without any
sugar content and too green TO have
any substance as forage for stock.
As TO the best method OF curing a
field OF the kind you have, It should
be moved in the morning and allowed
to cure until II has become wilted,
say until the afternoon OF the follow.

and put into small shocks and allowed

On general principles it would be
advisable for you to give this land a
change from the cultivated crops
which tend to wash the soil to a shall
low rooted crop like the grasses or
small grains which not only feed clos
er TO the surface, but cover the land
and thus prevent washing and leech.
ing in the soil to some extent.
On this upland. which you describe
II would be well TO plant about "
TO " bushels per acre depending up
on the strength Of your seed, and in.
asmuch as the ground is free OF weeds
you will find II unnecessary to plow
the ground at all Wheat prefers
clean, firm seed bed with a good tilth
on the surface. II you viii cut these
cotton stalks down and then disk the
soil, narrowing It later, you will have
very good seed bed.
