There are large areas in the state
where the grain crop this year will be
less than half and in many cases a
total failure; largely because we have

them Mr.. Peterson recommfSds, and
others he has placed on the black list
as not adapted to our conditions. The
fieids OF clover, alfalfa and other
grain fields were studied by small
groups Of farmers under the direction
of Messrs. Hume, Chamberlain, Hall
and Palm. A large number of the
trees were labelled and even then Mr..
Peterson was kept busy answering
questions regarding varieties we'll ad-
apted to C~odington county. At noon
the crowds gathered meath the shade
OF the beautiful trees where 80 years
ago a prairie fire swept everything
off the ground, and today the ground
is nicely shaded and hundreds of birds
make their summer homes among the
branches and each morning make the
echoes ring by their jubiIant festival
of music. That the good women of
CodingtOn county can cook was well
demonstrated at this time, because
S'0iy ohe was well leu dnu nappy,
There was plenty of lemonade for the
crowd not only at the lunch hour,
but all afternoon long, the thirsty
would assemble at the giant jar filled
to the brim with cool, refreshing
lemonade, with water right fresh from
the garden we'll, and lemons furnished
through the courtesy of the business
men Of Henry.
The afternoon was spent in the
discussion Of problems relating to the
life on the farm. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Chamberlain and
Hume, Mrs. DeGroff and a reading
given by Miss Lota Underwood.
DR.. A. N. Hume spoke on soils and
crops. The doctor, being the agron-
omist at the state college Of Brook
ings, had a lot Of good things to say
regarding the possibilities of farming
in this section Of the state. He be-
lieves that m Of the important steps
TO take in the management of our
farms is the matter of rotations, that
it, to have at least one-third of the
farm in a cultivated crop each year,
one-third in a Iegume and the rest in
small grain. Through this method
the nitrogen content of our soils can
be maintained, while by practicing
a one crop sysetm and selling the
crops through the elevator the nit
rogen content is being decreased each
season to a marked extent.
Hon. A. e. Chamberlain was at his
best and for an hour spoke on "a
Better Codington County" His ad-
dress was along practical lines of
making the farm a more revenue
and at the same time make a good
home for the boys and girls growing
up on them.
The other speakers were good and
only the highest words Of praise were
heard from the auditors at the close
of the meeting. When the crowds
departed for their homes they all felt
that they had been in a beautiful spot
because the groves We're Gods first
temple"
The "out at the lake" meeting was
along the same line as the day be
fore. The speakers were DR.. Hume,
A. E. Chamberlain, w. M. Fuller, E..
NJ. Hall and Miss Lota Underwood
They were all good and why pick
when the entire corps was a
grand constellation.
Better Farming was the program
all the way through and it surely res
an impetus, No doubt other
meetings of a similar nature will be
held right out in the fields and if1
you ever have a chance to attend one,
miss it, because they are good.

with absolutely no waste"
Parker, S. D.. June 20, 1871.
". Parmley, Ipswich, S. D.-Dear Sir:
| am engaged extensively in farming
and stock raising in Turner county.
About one-half of my land is planted
to corn and results have demonstrate
ed that this is as good a corr country
as the states further east and south.
Heretofore feed in the corn fields has
been going to waste after the corn
was picked with the exception of
what little the cattle got out of the
stalks. During part of the summer
season Jul over-fed pastures dry up
and we have been at our wits end for
feed to tide us over and many in,
stances farmers have been obliged
to sell off their stock at a. great sac
rihce.
Trying to solve these problems we
put up a silo 16x30 and filled the same
the past two seasons with corn. |
feel the problem has been solved and
am enthusiastic over the silo. | will
make another this year for the pur-
pose of using the same when the pas
lures are gone. | do not believe any
better investment can be made by a
farmer, on high priced lands than to
build silos to the full extent of his
stock raising operations. 1t is GER
tainly a great feeling of security a
mar has who has "a large stock of
cattle, hogs and horses to know that
he has a feed secured to tide him over
a hard, cold winter and a dry, hot sum
mer. all made largely from crops that
have heretofore been wasted. Res
pectfully,
William Eichel."
Testimonials could be continued in
definitely, but l forbear There is not
a ~discordant note in all l have gath
cred.
1 am not advocating any particular
kind OF silo. I believe all silos that
answer the purpose of a silo are good
but as is said Of some Kentucky pro-
ducts, Some are better than othersn|
Much has been said of late in regard
tc the underground or pit silo. Its
cheapness and immunity from wind
and frost appeals to the practical
man, When building l went into the
ground five feet, put in a twelve inch
concrete wall extending above the
ground one foot and on this erected
a thirty foot staye silo. l had a ma
son whose reputation as a builder is
not circumscribed by county lines
and in addition / was there. We used
good sand and supposedly the best
cement, mixing it five to one. The
silage remained therein from OctoberI
1911 until June 1913. When we got|
down below the line we found the
concrete crumbled. The cement had
eliminated, leaving only sand
and gravel which could be scraped off
with the hand. The si,aea was 80,
ed for a distance Of four a. Ave ,nahas
from the wall. The wall above the
ground was still as hard as stone. II
have consulted many antbo,ities
the only solution | get it that undoubt-
eddy the aIkali or salts i .sa
we're responsible for this disea / ). ~

Man Who Thought Work Was More

Sent to Jail.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. July 2e.-,when
a steam shovel interferes with the
Allegheny courts the steam shower
must cease operations, and when The
superintendent in charge indicates
that. in his mind, the removal OF

Jail.
These principles were laid down in

r. A. Kennedy. who was annoyed by
the putting of a steam shovel engaged
in excavation on a street near the
courthouse. He ordered the shovel
stopped and when the noise continued
he issued a warrant and held the
crew brought into court. The su-
perintendent in charge was asked by
the judge whether it would be better
to stop the shovel or stop The court.
The superintendent is sail TO have
replied that if they inte::ered, the
court should stop and was promptly
sentenced to Jail for contempt. The
remainder of the crew were released
on their promise to do no work while
court was in session.

ITALIAN COLONY MAY
ERECT A NEW CHURCH
Building TO Cost I'm NeighborhoOd OF
2O,OOO-SeveraI Sites Have
Been Inspected.

ELKHART. Ind. July 29.-Elk-
harris Italian colony. comprising more
than 500 persons. are contemplating
the erection Of a modern house Of
worship OF the Catholic denomination.
at a cost Of about $4,000.
Since the coming OF Rev. Father
Vincent Delesitti TO act as pastor 10
the Italian membership Of ST. Vim
cents Catholic church. the movement
which was started a year ago has
been given an added impetus.
A committee headed by Angelo
Dente. padrone OF the Elkhart colony.
has looked over many prospective
sites. but the one said 10 be most fav-
ored is the L. c. Nanderlip place at
No. 410 Harrison st. Nearly so fami-
lies live in the immediate vicinity. 1t
is said that an option has been taken
with the purchase price set at $4,000.
A mass meeting of the colony Will
be called during the latter part Of the
week. when IL is expected the project
will have assumed definite form. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Denies plan each Ital-
ian will be asked TO make a substan-
tial initial subscription and then pay
a maintenance fee OF 81 month
beginning at once. Until the edifice
Is erected the maintenance fees will
be diverted to the building fund.
Many OF the colony are in favor Of
appealing to outsiders for aid while
others declare that the project should
be an exclusive Italian affair and have
expressed a willingness to bear the
burden OF expense
The proposed new edifice will be a
small model OF the Cathedral Of St.
Mary Of CARMEL in Milan and will
probably bear that name.
