WHERE FLAGS ARE MADE FOR THE
NAVY.

The fag-making plant of the navy is ar
the Brooklyn navy yard, whore some 80
women are employed. The bunting comes
from Massachusetts, and every case costs
the government $3.50. or $l1 - roll. Every
piece must weigh FIVE pounds to every
40 yards and stand a weight test Of 20
pounds to two square inches. 1t is
stepped in salt water for six hours and
then exposed to the sun for another six
hours If strength and color hold. the
fabric is then pronounced fit foreervice.
That General Landon's sentimental
treatment of the Mexican flag had its
basis in custom may be Inferred from the
fact that of the 100 varieties of flags made
for the navy 43 are the colors of foreign
nations, all of which must be carried by
naval vessels of the United States. Sen
timent attaching to the national colors is
one Of the most profound in the human
breast, and it is not surprising to learn
that even a discarded official flag must be
finally disposed of almost with military
honors,
AN INCIDENT or FARRAGUT.

FLAGS NEVER BECOME RAGS
Worn out Ones Destr0ycd by the Cow
crnment-Similar Respect IN raid
TO Flags of other Nations.

a reader of the Transcript writes to in
duire what disposition, official or other-
wise, Is made Of wornout national flags
used by the United states government in
the army and navy. for public buildings
etc. He is of the impression that some
uniform regulation governs thcS DISPOSE
ton and doubts if they are thrown away,
says a Washington correspondent of the
Boston Transcript
The patriotic intuition of the inquirer
comedies with the fact. The government
sets an example to the whole country in
requiring that worn out flags shall be
burned and not permitted to become mere
pieces of waste rag. Whether or not any
special law or regulation governs tho dis
position of the flags, the universal practice
of the army and navy for generations
has been that whenever flag is no
| longer fit for service It shall be destroyed.
When flag used at an army post or on
board naval vessel becomes uuservice-
able, rcqusition of the quartermastcr Is
made for a new one and tho old is burned.
The same disposition is made of flags used
on public buildings in Washington.
Custodians of buildings outside Washing
ton buy their flags outright Of the gov
ernment whether or not they follow the
official plan of dsposing of old flags can
not be stated.
LAWTON AND THE MEXICAN FLAG.
So inErained among military men has re-
spect for the national colors become that
lit is extended i'm a CuiiOuslv formal way
even to the flags of other nations. While
the late Major General Henry w. Lawton
Of Philippine fame WAS nspcctor-genoral
on duty in Texas, a list of articles for con-
Idcmnation submitted TO him included u
Mexican flag. The venerable officer who
tells the story and who was an eye wit
ness Of tho incident says that Lawton
picked out the flag and turned it back,
that it might not be mad" subject to con-
dcmnation and sale rs Gas the other prop
erty on the list
Flags borne in battle are invariably pre-
served. either by the commands which

at Washington. \ whole roomful or bat

The government is little thrifty, how

are maintained with men who repair flags

Scientific Farming at Eureki
Satisfaction

Better farming has shown big re-
turns this year at the Eureka branch
OF the South Dakota Experiment
Station. In that locality there has
been just enough rain to produce
good crops with good methods but
not enough to produce crops with
ordinary continuous cropping to
small grains.
For example, one field which
raised a small crop of flax in 1912
and was put into wheat this year
was almost a total failure, while the
adjoining field which was broken
out at the same time last year but
fallowed, instead of faxed has a
good crop of wheat on it this year.
Hannohen barley has also maintain
ed It's record as a good producer
which it made at Highmore, Weld
ing as high as thirty bushels per
acre. For a rainfall of about nine
inches the previous twelve months.
the crops at the Eureka Satisfaction
promise a fair yield this year

Good Results by Cultivation

Rec Heights Review.-The writer

periments with grain cultivated in

made with wheat, oats, barley and
alfalfa. The alfalfa was planted in
rows, but the other grains grew
among the corn and potatoes.
wherever they happened to come
up.
We hoed this grain three or four
times, and the results were aston
fishing. The grain grew up tall,
|stooled out beyond anything we ever
saw, and altho the summer was dry,
this cultivated wheat, oats and bar
lev never showed any signs of
drouth at any time during the whole
season.
The heads were large and well
|flled, and while we had no. way to
measure the results accurately, we
feel safe in saying that if our farm
ers could arrange to cultivate their
grain, even In a season like this thev
would be certain OF harvesting % to
DO bushels of wheat. 35 to so Of bar
ey and so to 80 bushels of oats per

possible to cultivate many acres of

would not have to plant many acres

REDUCTION In
STATE TAXES
The Commission Fixes Levy Al
One Mill On Dollar

Sioux Falls. Sept, South Da-
Dota's tax levy for 1916 was fixed
at one mill Yesterday by the state
commission. This is exactly one.
fourth the lew made last year by
the state board of equalization and
is based on an increase in property
valuation which is less than that of
last year so that the tax levied for
state purposes will be less than in
1912.
The levy is based on a valuation
of about 81, 800, 900, 900 of property
while the levy last year was four
mills on a valuation of $345, 278, Ala
which is considerably more than a
fourth of the 1913 valuation.
The action of the commission set
ties the fact. as far as the state is
concerned. that the average proper
ty owner will pay less instead of
more taxes to the support of the
state than he did in 1912.
The grent increase in the total
valuation figures of property is due
to the assessment of all property at
its full value as provided by the
state constitution and to the loca-
ton Of large amounts which has
heretofore escaped taxation or been
undervalued.

Southwestern Cattle to Minnesota


Minneapolis Journal. - Farmers
and rural bankers of Minnesota
have asked the Minneapolis banks
for 500. 900 to bug cattle from the
drought stricken Kansas. Oklahoma
Missouri farms and put them in
Minnesota grass fields. Minneapolis
bankers will make the loans now or
in such time as conditions warrant.
Minnesota will have more feeding
cattle on her farms this fall than
ever before, if present southwest
pasturage conditions continue.
Experienced Minnesota stockmen
are making ready to take advantage
of the opportunity that may present
itself. Without concentrated action
or the action of anv organization or
group of men, but as a result of in
diyidual interest, Minnesota will
take thousands of feeder cattle, If
the predicted rush to market from
the dry country approaches later the
proportions that now probable.
