WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW

New York. March -o.-Thc cotton
market has shown no important
change during the past week. and
trading has been quiet enough to sug-
gest either a disposition to await "A
nearer view of the new crop, or the
restricting influence Of the Easter
holidays. The severe storms OF last
week were followed by three or four
days OF dry weather in the belt. but
conditions became unsettled again
before the end of the week, threaten
also inspiring some rev complaints of
washed out fertilizers. Generally
speaking, however. the season is not
yet far enough advanced to modify
expectations as to the start of the now
crop. upon which go much is supposed
to depend in determining tho future
course of the market. Meanwhile,
neither the census report on supply
and distribution, which was published
on Monday or the final ginning report
of the season, issued at the opening
this morning, seems To have altered
prevailing sentiment as TO the merits
of the ola crop situation. The supply
and distribution figures showed a
continuance of rccoro- breaking activ-
ity during February and indicated a
domestic mill consumption of 2,S67.000
bales for the first S;X months of the
season, thus suggesting total con
sumption for this season of about
SRA. 900 bales, comparing with 5,367.-
900 last season. Mill stocks. as of
March !, on the other hand, were re-
ported of 1.957,000 bales. against
$4,000 last year, ma the showing
AS "a whole seemed to he without inn
iofr IN al "a
ish or bullish standpoint. The ginning
figures were somewhat similarly re-
ccivcd. indicating total growth of
the season, including lintcrs, OF H.
O67 900 bales, they were just about in
line with expectations. and while
some regarded them bearishly OIL the
ground that they ine;catcd nearly as
much cotton remaining in the South
rs al this time last year, when the
crop was 100000 bales larger, others
were inclined TO emphasize the larger
proportion of lintcrs as reducing the
supply of spinnablc cotton to figures
nsidcrably under the estimates Of
last December

ducing state, it can be easily seen
where such statement places South
Dakota Since then the state has
been living up to the reputation that
Prof Center gave it, and this years
exhibit at the corn show will without
doubt, enable Prof. Center to en-
phasize his statement of two years
age.
1t has taken long time to impress
the farmer with the idea that there
was some science in the production q: 81
corn on heavier basis than had been
the case in years past, where the corn
was planted in the spring without
first having been tested. Under the
present conditions the farmer who
will plant his corn without first know
ing what PERCENTAGE of it will ger

ing the best and safest methods of

The Annual Corn Show.

During the middle OF January the
annual convention Of the South Da.
kota Corn and Grain Growers asso-
citation will be held in this city, the
dates of which are from the 18th to
the 18th. Combined with This will be
the annual rn.show and corn school
which will be conducted with the
best possible instructors obtainable.
This corn show and corn school has
been the means of placing South
Dakota we'll up in the corn states OF
the country, for the ideas obtained
at these annual sessions have instilled
new thoughts and new methods in
the minds and activities of the farmer
until goodly proportion of them are
giving a closer heed to what they
learn at the corn school, and the
natural result has been larger crops
and better variety.
The corn produced in South Dakota
has been highly complimented by
competent judges. Two years ago
Judge Center, from Illinois, scored the
corn in the show in this city and he
made the unqualified statement that
the corn he judged here was better
than any corn that he scored in
Illinois. Taking Illinois as some
thing of standard for a corn pro-

loser when he comes to husk his corn
in the fall.
At this meeting of the corn and
grain growers some Of the best men in
the country, who are specialists In
their line have been engaged to de-
liver addresses, to set forth the best
ideas for farm work In practically
every department., and the farmer
who fails to attend the big conven-
tion will make the mistake Of his
life. Ninety per cent of the farmers
within radius of one hundred miles
OF Mitchell by attending this show,
and following the ideas taught there
will three times over make his ex-
pense money, and be prepared in the
future years to cope with the crop
problem on the best possible founda-
tion.
Secretary Hume and President
Dawes are both working hard In the
preliminary arrangements to make
the show success and every indlca-
tion points TO a fine exhibit and q
large attendance.

A Change At the Court House.

John Quien, the popular sheriff that
has just stepped down from otficewas
perhaps one of the most popular
county officials that ever acted In that
capacity. John has been the fear OF
all evil doerS in and around Lincoln
county and has arrested and put more
criminals behind the bar then any of
his predecessors as well as collected
more old taxes Johns ability to
handle the Sheriff's Office will never
be forgotten.
Charles Kundert the newly elected
Sheriff is man we'll suited for the
office and his friends, which are many
are sure that he is the right man.
George Olson, our former clerk of
courts steps down from Office with a
long term of years in service that
were all to the good in his office.
George has served his county we'll and
his friends are we'll satisfied with his
efforts.
Ernest Madden who takes the place
of Mr.. Olson is one of Lincoln Coun ty s
most popular young men, veteran
of the Spanish American war and a
friend OF all who know him. He Is in
every respect, thoroughly capable of
carrying out the duties Of the clerk of
Courts office.
William b. Mallory, the new County
Judge comes highly recommended and
Is man we'll suited for the flee.
The rest of the county officers re-
main the same and better lot could
not be picked in days travel. They
duties well and will always continue
to do 80 as long as they are in office.
