Is Anything Worse


An Iowa paper published the
following letter from one of it's
farmer subscribers:
IF you don't want lots of
trouble don t SOW alfalfa. Along
in the middle of June, when the
corn needed cultivation the most
we had to stop and cut that darn
ed alfalfa patch. 1t was ia

to haul in twenty loads Of it.

We're glad when they got my card
announcing that we could not

blame alfalfa patch again. Gee it
was hot hauling in that hay.
"Worser still, | was fooled
enough to go to work and and SOW
more bushels OF alfalfa seed.
The on y rest | will get
hereafter from hauling in alfalfa

1t got raining again in Sep

was three feet high and all in
bloom. 1t had to have another

Bailey's 5 circus came to town,
and darn my buttons if | didn

first time in ten years. | got
mad then, turned the pigs and
COWS and calves in it, and still
the blame stuff kept growing to

fat on it.

The Dope Hobo

Among the harvest hands who
have been drifting through the
town for several weeks past and
moving on, there are all kinds
Of characters. One of these,
unkempt and dirty, last Mon
day was dodging in and oat
Of stores and Offices endeavoring
to collect enough menev to get
him "shot' OF morphine or CO.
caine. La printing office he
represented himself to be a
printer in hardluck aud in the
harness store he was harness
maker, when asked to do the
simplest kind of work he wonld
excuse himself and say that he
would have to down street and
get cup Of coffee before he
could start in, and ne would for.
get to come around again.
This same individual was at
several of the doctors offices and
drug stores IS soon as he had
made q collection of q dime or
two begging for a few grains of
the drug that would quiet him.
His arms were complete mass
Of sores from injections in the
past. It is question whether
such characters should be per-
mitted to roam around at large
as sooner or latter they are pret
ty certain to be impelled to com
nit some scrime. However. un-
til people stop giving even small
amounts to these parasites on
society their number will tin

Yellowstone Park Trail association,
from Marmartb, n. D., as the trail

The disappointment was due to the
small number OF automobiles in the

Aberdeen or intermediate points. Mr.
Parmley reports the trail TO be in
good condition, far ahead of expecta-
tions, and says that the people are

Fight Rates
Express Companies Rebel Against
SOnth Dakota Tariffs

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 3 -Ano-
ther step has been taken in the South
Dakota express rate litigation With
filing by the Wells Fargo ENpres 3
company of an amended and slpplI-
mented bill in the United States su-
preme court here in the suit brought
to restrain the railroad commission
ers from enforcing the present state
rates.
BY this action the express compas
les have come to the aid OF Sioux City
Iowa, in the fight against south Da-
kota rates, basing the new bill on the
supreme court decision in the Shreye-
port, Ala, case in which the Texas
state rates, lower than the Texas in
terstate rates, were held to be discrim-
inatory and illegal
The suit ia which the new bill is
filed was brought in 1911 and a appli
cation to enjoin the railroad commits
toner's from putting the present rates
into effect was denied by the late
Judge G. A. Willard of Minneapolis
1t is understood that similar bills
are in preparation and will pe filed
within the next few days by the Ameri-
can Express company, the Adams EX
press company and the Great Nor
thern Express company. These are
now the only companies transacting
business in South Dakota, except the
Western Express company, which has
bnt three small offices in the northern
part OF the state and is not materially
affected by the South Dakota rates.

The Live Stock Industry.

In his appeal to the farmers of
South Carolina to plant more grain,
Mr.. w. W. Long, State agent and di-
rector of extension, gives this as one
of his reasons: "Oats will pave the
way for more live stock in the fu-
ture." We have heard a great deal
in recent months of the advantages
the South offers for nearly every
kind Of industry, and now, While it
seems absolutely necessary tiat We
get away from cotton, any expert
testimony is worth reading, w F.
Ward, Of the United States Agricul-
ture Bureau, after a painstaking in
vestigation, makes the following OBJ
servaHons on the south \as place to
raise cattle:
There is no section of the coun-
try which can produce cattle more
cheaply than the South, for the lands
are still cheap, the grazing is good
the pasture season is long, feed can
be produced at a minimum cost and
inexpensive shelter only is required
for the animals during the winter
months. The native cattle through
out this section are poor in quantity
and small in size, but they are also
cheap in price. They are not worth
less, however, and their cheapness is
their redeeming feature, for they are
good foundation stock from which
may be produced an excellent herd of
beef animals by judicious selection
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1914-09-18

and by the continued use OF pure
bred beef bulls.
Cheap lands combined with cheap
COWS for foundation stock make it
possible to start in the cattle busi-
ness in the South with an outlay of
far less capital than in most other
sections OF the country. The only
shelters required are open sheds fac
ing South, under which young cattle
may take shelter from cold, rain or
wind. Mature beef cattle usually
need no otter protection than that
afforded by trees, hedges, under
brush, canebrakes and other natural
Shelters,
Corn grows we'll throughout the
South and is the principal crop
grown for grain for feeding purposes
and is more generally used for silage
than any other crop. Because OF las
adaptability to almost all soils, the
wide variation of time during which
it may be planted and its luXuriant
growth in southern latitudes, it is
considered the most important silage
crop. SWEET sorghum can be planted
later than corn and often makes a
heavier yield. The cost of growing
sorghum and corn is about the same.
A combination o.: corn and sorghum
makes a silage that is greatly relish
ed by cattle.
Two or three years ago the aver
age farmer would not have paid
much attention to such statements as
the above, but We believe that the
time has arrived when he is forced
to take notice. Several progressive
farmers in Greenwood county have
started the ball 10 rolling. Our fair
next month should give the live
stock industry further impetus
Byt the way, now would it do for
the directors to bring that car of
fine cattle here and have it sold at
auction during the fair?
