Coming of the Rubes.

Is Summer is at hand, and likewise
the annual coming of the city rubes.
.,-Treat them gently, handle them
with care, for though they may not
be marked fragile, they are as babes
in the woods.
Give freely of your store of know
ledge, that they may return to the
abode of innocents with wisdom to
spare, for as we give in this life SO
shall we receive in the one to come.
Instruct them carefully in the fine
arts of the milking of the COW, the
feeding of the fowls and the pitching
of the hay, and smile not when they
ask you to remove the e'thick yellow
scum" from their milk.
Assure them that when the cock
crows at break of day it is not an
alarm Of fire, nor yet an earthquake,
and neither is it a signal for lights
out in the bar room.
Awake them Eat noon for their
morning repast, and warn them of the
bull, and the snakes, and the business
end Of the goat, and of all the spares
that beset the unwary in the field oi
adventure.
Grave is your responsibility. Give
it heed.

The Fourth at Wood.

i As announced in the PIONEER pre-
viously, safe and sane Fourth oi
July celebration was pulled off Of
Wood. A goodly crowd of people
from Cody, Rosebud Valley, Happy
Hollow, Pure Water, Berkley anc
Butte Valley, came to town in the
morning and the new ball was com
fortably well filled. The program
at the hall was one of the best we
have yet heard in South Dakota, anc
it demonstrated the fact that there j;
some mighty good musical and liter
ary talent scattered among our home,
steaders. There was not poor mum
Der on the program and the audience
appreciated the program very much
After the program all adjourned tc
the Hooking ranch just east of town
where in the shade of trees picnic
dinner was spread consisting of all
the good things to eat taat one could
imagine. 1t certainly was "A merry
dinner party and certainly all enjoyed
this feature of the days festivities.

pulled off that provided lot of

Urbin Cashlin of Rosebud NgAey
came out winner in the old mars
race; the Lester boy won the boys
foot race. The ladies of Happy Hol-
low challenged the world for. tug
of-war and the challenge was accept
ted by the ladies of Rosebud Valley.
This was one of the bes, contests of
the day, and the two teams were
pretty evenly matched and it was
some time before the Happy Hollow
ladies were finally declared the vic
tors. Then the Butte Valley men
challenged the men from Happy Hol-
low for tugof-war. The challenge
was accepted and the contest was fin
ally won by the Butte Valley men.
Then the married men and the single
men played a five inning game of
baseball which was hotly contested
and proved to be very amusing. G.
L. Watson, playing with the married
men, made the only score during the
entire game. After the ball game all
departed for their homes, and not a
single person regretting that they
had come to Wood to celebrate the
nation's birthday. 1t was safe and
sane celebration in every sense of the
word, and there was something doing
every minute after the crowd gathered
until they were ready to depart, for
their homes. 1t Was. a celebration
that will long be remembered by.
those who attended it.

WILL TEST LAW

That the effect of the Limited Ship
ping Bill passed OF the last session of
the Legislature of Maryland, may be
short lived is growing more apparent
every day and this week it was under
stood that a concerted effort would be
made throughout the shore to have the
law tested. This movement is due, it
is said, to a recent ruling of the Su-
preme Court of Delaware, which de-
cided that the Haze! law, in force here,
was perfectly constitutional and the
Delaware imbibers could not buy whis-
key from houses within the state. At
the same time the court ruled that the
Hazel law could not interfere with the
Webb-Kenyon interstate shipping law,
which allowed whiskey to be shipped
from other states into Delaware.
1t is understood that no effort will be
made to pick a flaw in the Limited
Shipping Bill, for many contend that it
cannot conflict with the National law,
or interstate Ruling, which allows
whiskey houses in Delaware to ship to
dry territories in Maryland.

Half a Crop Of Peaches

Conservative estimates have it that
there will be only half the usual yield
of peaches, and that the average will
be about the same as last year. While
this yield would be disappointing, if the
prediction Of the experts is fulfilled,
growers are not losing patience and ex-
pect ultimately to be so successful in
peach culture that a normal yield will
be obtainable next year.
DR.. Horace N. Marvin, of the Della
ware Produce Exchange, said he was
confident there would only be half a
crop. He SAID reports from various
districts had assured him of it.
DR.. Marvin estimated that about Is
cars of peaches would be shipped from
Dover and $50 from Wyoming.
1t is estimated that Is cars of apples
have been shipped from Dover, while
200 carloads have gone north from
Wyoming.
About Is carloads Of early apples
have been shipped from here. Prices
average from so to rs cents hamper.
The potato crop will be moved next
week, and it is reported that the price
will be about 85 cents a bushel.

50 Bushels of Wheat to Acre

Smyrna is producing some wonderful
wheat yields and though the continued
wet weather has been much against
threshing, few have tried it out on
some Of their fields. Gilbert Pratt on
his farm formerly the Mrs. w E.
Waters farm at the east end of Smyrna
beats all records ever heard of in
Smyrna. He has about finished the first
field, known as the back field sown with
Leaps Prolific Variety which averages
him the astonishing result of so bushels
to the acre and as some of his best
wheat has not been threshed yet, there
is reason to believe he will even exceed
this average. At first many of our
farmers were wanting to doubt this but
figures don't lie. The field was particu-
larly measured by disinterested third
party and the threshing machine of Mr..
Reed told the 'indesputab.e result =

BOOSTING FARMING IN MD.

Messrs C. S. Hurlock, William H.
Cacy, Isaac Gibbs, J. F. NJ. Woodall
and other well-known Kent County
business men on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, believe there is a bright
future in the development of the land
by arranging for colony of Bohemians.
1t is believed that these people, with
their thrift and economy; will solve the
labor problem. Already steps have
been taken to purchase about two
thousand acres around Massey, Md,
which will be divided into ten and
twenty acre plots and sold to men with
families, who will develop and make Of
it veritable garden. A farmer in a
section elsewhere, which had been
parceled- out as is proposed, says:
"Small farms have been, are and will
be made profitable by men who do not
aspire for big operations. Here they
rear their children. From these few
acres well titled, will come the where
with to feed, elothe and educate the
family, fitting them for active service
in life. What we need is not more
teams and hand labor but more eff
cheney. If men would cut out the
waste time and organize time and
labor, heproblem would soon be solved.
Here is where the efforts of the leaders
may well be directed, rather than to
discouraging those who aspire after:
ga little farm well TILED" Specialized
work on small areas is one of the best
rallying cries of the day. 1t is no get
rich-quick scheme, but he who follows
a decided learning and stays, will soon
find the open door to life of comfort,
plenty and satisfaction Kent News.
