fS'SSS SU
Agriculture under the new govern
ment irrigation project made a great
showing at the two-day celebration
at Newell managed by the Newell
Business Mems club.
The finest yields Of wheat, oats and
other grains ever shown in the Black
Hills were exhibited at the fair and
the product Of the soil under the ditch
was so prolific that that section ex.
poets a boom In the land business next
spring. This was the first year that
this land has made any showing, ow.
Ing to difficulty in getting the water in
previous years, but the project is now
nearly completed.
The celebration attracted several
thousand people from various parts OF
the Black Hills who came to see what
the farmers in that section have &C
complished. Included in the other
features was a statistical talk by Con.
gresham Martin Of Deadwood, who
declared that the farmer can today
get twice as much clothing from the
sale Of a bushel of corn as he could
fifteen years ago.

Seed Corn
How 10 Select and Care for IL by IL,
u. steiner, superintendent ~
Farmers Institutes In
South Dakota.

No one will ever know the loss
that was sustained i'm South Da-
kota thepresent year by planting
poor seed corn. If the loss could
be computed, it would Il up in
to millions of bushels. Ask al
most any farmer why he has such
a poor stand of corn and he will,
invariably, answer you in the
single word-"Cut-worms.'
Well, cut-worms have destroy
e thousands ofacreS of corn this
year but all the poor stands can
not be laid at his door. Poor seed
corn has probably had rs much
to do with poor stands as have
that of cut worms. 1t is much
more easy to control the seed
| than it is to control cut-worms.
For the present [ wish to consid-
err the question of Good Seed
Corn.
The first essential in securing
good seed corn is to select ears
that have gotten ripe prior to the
average time of our first frost.
In the central part of the state
the first frost occur about Sep
TENDER 18th. Seed corn in that
part of the state should therefore
be selected prior to that date. If
it does not frost until October 1st
and seed corn picking is deferred
until that time many ears will be
selected that were not ripeat the
average time of the frost and the
probabilities are that the plants
from these ears will all get nipp
ed by frost the following year.
The tendency is to select the
largest ears. The largest ears
get ripe last and if one waits un-
til after the first frost to select
his seed corn, if frost comes a
little later than usual, he is very
liable to have his corn frost bit
ten.
In selecting an ear of seedcorn
from the stalk, remember that
all the corn from that ear next
year will resemble very closely
the characteristics of the seed
ear. If it grew on a large stalk,
nearly all the stalks next year
will be large; if the seed ear
had a long shank, practically all
the shanks will be longneXt year;
if the seed ear droops on the
stalk, all of it's progeny will
droop. In short the characterize
tics of the entire plant will be re-
Aected in next years crop.
Select an ear that is ripe.
Select an ear that is growing on
a stalk that is just high enough
to husk easily. Select an a
that droops enough to shed water
easily. Selectan ear that is filled
out we'll on the tip end the butt.
The next, and most important
step of all is to thoroughly dry
it. Do not throw it down in a
heap to dry because If you do it
will heat and it's termination will
then be poorer than crib corn.
A good plan is to tie the ears to-
gether with a stout cord and
then hang them in an airy place
where they will rapidly dry out.
But in tying them care should be
taken that that the ears do not
touch each other. There are
many seed corn racks on the
market at this time. They are
all good and serve their purpose
admirably.
After the seed is thoroughly
dry. it should never be allowed to
become damp afterward. Freez.
ing damp corn is what kills the
germ. 1t should be stored for
winter in the driest place on the
premises. Hard freezing will
not injure perfectly dry seed
corn. Light freezing will injure

In practically every joint debato

said George w. Moore, Friday, rthe|
opposition has shouted: What a.
your remedy? What are you going to
dor and some of them go so far a.
to say the municipal ownership peo-
pie are mere obstructionists without
any plan or idea OF solving the prob
lem. Some OF them say 1t is ques-
ton between a definite plan proposed
by Mayor Thompson and no plan at
all.
Well, here Is my answer:
The road to municipal ownership
Is now clear. The supreme court has
held that under the constitution the
city can own and operate its street
cars and that the city can acquire
the power and authority to own and
operate by revising, not amending.
It's charter. The movement for revi-
sion has already begun. The board
of street railway commissioners can
be elected at the time the people vote
on this revised charter. In the abb
sence OF the special election we can
vote for the new charter and the
board of commissioners at the next
fall election. The commissioners as
soon as elected will determine what
recommendation they will make to
the people. If the ID. u. r. will sell
at fair price or will offer other sat
isfactory terms the commissioners can
submit any proposition they see At
TO popular vote, to become effective
as soon as approved.
"If no agreement Is made or II the
agreement made Is rejected the peo-
pie can authorize the commission to
institute condemnation proceedings
and the commissioners can within 20
days bring every stakeholder and
every bondholder OF the ID. ". r. In
to court and proceed at once to Inn
panel jury. The ID. U. r. stockhold-
ers are brought In, Of course, by
bringing in the d. u. R.; the bond
holders are brought in by bringing in
the trustee Of the bonds. The case
can be tried substantially as quickly
as a grade separation case and the
proceedings are under the same stat
ute. An appeal lies to the supreme
court but that court acts promptly
and the only substantial question that
could be raised there would be the
amount OF the award and the court
would doubtless pass on that without
ordering a new trial. II a new trial
is ordered It would begin at once.
Grade separation cases are generally
disposed of within the year and con-
domination proceedings II begun with
reasonable vigor. could be disposed
of in approximately the same time.
when the verdict Is confirmed the
city has the right to pay the money
and take over the property free and
clear of bondholders' or any other
liens. e
The supreme court of the United
States has held on numerous occa-
sions that a franchise can be con-
demned just the same as physical
property. And IL has also repeatedly
held that a city can condemn u ,
property of public service corpora
ton simply for the purpose of con-
verting the plant from private to pub
lie ownership"
