Some Farmers Waste Money
Buying Seed Corn

Probably the best seed for next years
planting will be the bome grown, care.
fully selected and tested seed Thous-
ands of dollars have been wasted 10y
farmers in the state of Nebraska by
buying seed from distance. IL may
look better, may even take prizes at
some of the shows, but when 1t l.
tested with carefully selected haove
seed does not always give the yield.
The Lincoln Experiment Station in
bulletin 126 reports tests of native
grown seed and seed not native 1t
was found that on an average the na-
tive grown seed carefully selected yield.
ed six bushels more per acre than care.
fully selected seed brought from dis.
tance. In testing some prize samples
secured from the National Corn Show
it wss found that carefully selected
native seed yielded nine bushels per
acre more than the prize corn. With
these facts in mind it would seem that
we should select home grown seed,
even II it does not look SO we'll. The
stalks this year which have produced
seed in spite OF the dry weather should
give high yielding strains.

SUPT. NC CABE RELIEVED

Mclaughlin, Sept. 22.-Accord-
ing to word that has been received
here, which is believed to lie reli-
able, superintendent McCabe of
Fort Yates will be relieved on Oct.
l, and Inspector Albert II. Kneale
will be made superintendent of
Standing Rock reservation in Nc
Cabe's place. The report does not
say whether Major McCabe will re.
tire from the Indian service or not,
but it is believed in this section of
the state that the department will
retain his services in some other
capacity, if possible, as men so fa-
miliar with the Indian service as
McCabe are hard to get. J. A.
Councillor. chief clerk under Ma
jors Hamilton and McCabe, has
been promoted to the treasury de-
partment at Washington and left
Fort Yates for the national capital
last week.

Unwarrantei Attack.

In the last issue Of the Bulletin
Edit II Wier makes what we con-
slider a very unwarranted attack
upon Atty. w. NJ. Potts of this
city. The article referred to bears
little, if any resemblance to the
usual Weir writings. Sounds more
as though written by other parties
in this city, who have a grudge
against Atty. Potts, and fathered
by the publisher of the Bulletin.
That Mr.. Potts is sincere in his
stand regarding the operation of
sporting houses in this city we do
not doubt. Ard we also know that
there is large number of citizens
who agree with his opinions and
action in the removal of the houses.
Many people who do not agree with
Mr.. Potts views openly express
their disapproval of Wier's attack.
Weir undoubtedly is we'll aware of
this fact at this time.
After reading the article in the
Bulletin, whether original or con-
tributed, about the only conclusion
to reach is that the publisher Of
that sheet, who should stand for
the good and not the evil, is en-
deavoring to pose as the champion
defender of vice.

Advertise Yellowstone Trail.

The following letter received by
Secretary of the Commercial Club
p. b. ROsenberger from F. A.
Finch of Lennon, secretary of the
Twin City-Aberdeen Y YellOwstone
Park Trail, contains lot of inter-
esting facts that we think will
prove of interest to Mobridge peO-
pie:
Dear Sir:
We are now in the last half of
the automobile tourist season and
today nearly 400 automobiles have
crossed the Missouri river at Mo-
bridge on the Trail.
This is very encouraging, but by
no means as many as there would
have been had the proper amount
of advertising been done.
We find that the Black Hills
route has had at least FIVE times
the number of machines that the
Yellowstone Trail, along the line
of the Milwaukee road, has had.
We must sit up and take notice
and begin at once to plan our cam
paign for next season.
We find that our weakest point
is in the Twin Cities, where we are
evidently unknown. We must
make arrangements for publicity
there with the hotels and other
places that will advertise the ad-
vantages of our trail and mark the
way out of the city.
am pleaZed to say that a great
amount of wo.k has been done on
the Trail, but in many places there
has been no activity
We realize that many counties
are up against proposition in
that they have no funds to work
with, but as conditions improve
we trust that work will become ac-
tive all along the line.
We are going to hold a meeting
in Minneapolis on October 24th
and 25th and want good repre-
sentation from cities and towns all
along the Trail. AS many auto
clubs and commercial clubs as can
should send at least one delegate.
This will be an advertising meet
ing and we want each delegate to
come ready to make a good report
of the work done and to be done.
Kindly take this matter up at
once and kindly report to me by
October 1st, if your club can send
at least one delegate.
Yous for a better Trail,

Thousands Of tons of salmon are now

ton Of the Ice jackets and the frozen
meat has been found to keep the fish
from becoming tainted. After the salm-
on are bled they are kept at a tenn
perature Of zero, or near there, for
forty-eight hours and are frozen hard
