HARVEST BEGINS
Farmers Now Cutting Their Rye,
Barley and Oats Crop.

Huron, July 13.-Harvesting OPP
erations have commenced in South
Dakota, farmers in numerous local
tiles now being engaged in the work
of harvesting their rye, barley and
oats crops, which, under the inlu-
ence of the warm weather of the past
week, have ripened very rapidly.
Right on the heels of the harvesting
OF these crops will come the wheat
harvest, which Is expected to be gen
eral in about ten days or two weeks.
For the next month the farmers of
South Dakota will be very busy, and
every hour of every working day, and
perhaps Sundays as we'll, will be util-
lied i'm getting their crops beyond
danger of damage by hail and other
severe storms.
| Reports as to the character and
volume of the general crop raised in
South Daho'a this season continue TO
be of the most encouraging charac-
ter. Only a few localities report a
lack of sufficient rainfall to make the
small grain crop as large as 1t was
| expected Ii would be. But in the
| state at large all kinds of small grain
promises TO yield abundantly.
The weather this week has been
ideal for the commencement of har-
Wrestling operations. and the clear and
bright weather also has been bene-
| fetal to fields of small grain in some
| sections of the state where red rust
had appeared. Had the rainy wealth
+ err continued it is probable this would
have developed into black rust and
that extensive damage would have
been done. But the clear and warm
weather has allayed all fears of ex-
~tensive damage by rust and has pre-
vented its spread.
Corn continues to do we'll in all
parts of the state. The rainy wealth
er of June pushed the crop ahead
very fast, and it continues to be
about ten days or two weeks further
advanced than customary at this
| period of the growing season. 1t is
the general expectation that South
Dakota will this year produce the
largest corn crop in its history.

Outline Education Needs.

The committee on education OF the
Farmers Union embodied In the re-
port submitted to the convention a
recommendation OF a definite system
Of cooperation In education, modelled
after the report recently adopted at
the national convention held at Fort
Worth, Texas. The report. which was
submitted by Prof. ]. j. Dawsey OF
Harrison county and unanimously
adopted, was as follows;
1--WE believe the time has come
when we can outline the kind Of edu-
cation that the Farmers Union stands
for--we believe in that practical and
useful education that will prepare our.
boys and girls for the active duties OF
lif~e-teaching them in terms OF their
life's work. We stand for that great
system OF education worked out by
our leading educational men In the
Farmers Union.

ing a better and a graded school, bet.
ter school buildings, which will not
only be the center OF social life, but
the center Of community activity, in
citing pride in the community and
making for the uplift and betterment
Of rural life. These school houses to
have an auditorium. where the farm
ers could meet in their locals, and
where the people could meet to hear
lectures or to have entertainments, or
even picture shows; this Is only edu'
cational cooperation.
"We stand for the building OF agri-
cultural high schools in every county
or district, with a farm attached.
where the boys and girls can be

dition to their literary education.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN RE-

Body Of Opinion That Measure Adso'
Gated Would ESterminate Boil

tunity to Use oyersupply.


After holding two lively and interest.
ing sessions, the convention OF Missis-
sippians, called together to take steps
to handle the cotton situation at pres.
ent existing, adjourned. The conven-
ton, by a practically unanimous vote,
adopted the report OF the committee
on resolutions, which, among other
things, aims to curtail entirely the pro-
duction of cotton for one whole season,
as a most effective means Of extermi.
mating the boil weevll.
II was further resolved that the gov.
ernOrs OF all the cotton.growing states
meet as soon as possible and agree on
a bill prohibiting the growing OF cot
ton during 1915 and that such bill or
bills be submitted to called sessions OF
their respective legislatures.
II was the sense Of the convention
that in taking this step all the states
should act together and that Gov.
Brewer be requested to urge such ac,
ton on all cotton states governors.
1t was strongly urged that by drop
ping cotton cultivation for a year such
a step would tend to create a greater
degree Of independence among farm
ers, would promote a higher and more
intelligent application OF the spirit OF
diyersification, while it would give the
world an opportunity to consume the
present o~yersupply Of cotton.

Are you immoral or immoral? Do
not answer too quickly, for II you are
only immoral we may be able to over
look 1t, says L~ippincott's. Immoral
stands to immoral in much the same
relation as unregenerate stands to de-
generate. If you commit some act OK
which the arbiters of ethics disap-
prove, the category that you go In all
depends on whether the arbiters have
previously brought the ethical consti'
tuition and bylaws to your notice. II
they have already told you that a GER
tain thou shalt not exists, then you
are immoral il you disobey 1t. II,
however, you are still in an untaught
state Of sheer savagery, then you are
merely immoral, and, instead OF be-
ing the victim Of ~execration and con
tumely, you are entitled to all the
emoluments and %perquisites of any
other savage. Ignorance Of the civil
or criminal laws cus no one, but
ignorance Of the moral law does count
for a little these discriminative days.

Zeim knew nothing until his picture
vas completed and his door unlocked.
Another French artist, Gericauld, was
equally determined to allow no dis
traction to interfere with the painting
of his great picture, The Wreck OF
the Medusa." He had his head shaved
and vowed that he would never allow
his hair to grow until his work was
done. The yow he religiously kept,
in spite of strong temptation to break
1t, and the reward Of his heroism was
the most perfect painting Of his life.
