SATURDAY, Sept. II, 1915.
Rice Farmers Made A Mistake
In Not Backing Rice
Proposition.
Jeanerette Hustler.

The late turning of tho rice mark
OF indicates that the rice farmers
made a serious mistake in not put.
ting into operation the rice mill
which is located here. Perhaps
they were not able to do SO, but
they could perhaps have done
SO by making a supreme effort had
they foreseen tho conditions with
which they have to battle today.
1t is conservatively estimated
that there will be harvested some
10000 barrels of rough rice be-
tween Cbarsnton aud LoreauvilIe
on the Tsche. The proposition
was to raise $4,000 on this crop
which would have meant an in
vsstment on tho part of tho rice
farmers, in the rice mill of some
IA cents per barrel.
Quotations on Honduras which
is the only rice on the market in
any quantity at this time, tho ia.
pan not having ripensd. according
to the latest quotations obtsina-
bls at the of this writing. thoae
Of August 29tb. were rough rice
per barrel of 1872 pounds 1925 to
$40, with tho cleaned product
quoted from 81 90 to $500 per 100
pounds for head rice. Now, We
take the lowest quotation of 1925
per barrel (162 lbs rough andcom-
pare it to the price of clean rice
at the lowest quotation of "a 90.
1t may be too late now to rsme-
dy tho situation. but it certainly
seems to US that il there is a suffi.
cient quantity of rice left which
must be sacrificed at $500 to 1925
per barrel. while the clean pro
duct is maintaining basis OF from
81 90 to So 90 per 100 pounds. it
would pay even at this late hour
to apply the medicine.
II there is anything discourag-
ing in this world it is to have a
product which you know is worth
a dollar and to see some high
handed powerful agency reach out,
take it put it, in its pocket, give
you in return a fifty cent piece,
aud say now, Little Fellow, BE-
darn glad you got that little bit;
for l might have given you b
counterfeit quarter for it, i'll had
not been feeling good.
As to disposing of the cleaned
product you know that every msr-
chant would rather deal with thu
local man so loug as tho prices
aud quality of the product are
right; and that 10000 pockets OF
rice would not supply the local
and surrounding markets very
long.

dam LAKE MADISON
STATE GAME WARDEN HEDRICk
ORDERS A PERMANENT
DAM AT THE OUTLET.

State Game Warden Hedriek spent
the day in Madison yesterday. de-
parting for Sioux Falls this morning.
Mr.. Hedrick's business here was to
investigate conditions at Lake Madi-
son where water is flowing out at the
east end on account of the lake being
unusually high this year. Mr.. He'd
rick found that a stream of water
forty feet in width and an average of
five inches deep is flowing out of the
lake, and the volume would in time
become greater as the channel en-
larged and deepened by erosion.
Hence, the game warden has decided
to put in a reinforced concrete dam
at the outlet which will hold the wa
ter at the normal stage of the lake.
Mr.. Hedrick has employed Contractor
Walter Marquart of this city to do
the work and this morning purchased
cement from local dealers for the
purpose. His business in Sioux Falls
today is TO purchase steel for rein
forcement of the concrete and pro-
vide for a screen which will surmount
the dam. The state engineer will be
sent to the lake to determine the
proper level before the work of build
ing the dam is commenced. 1T is not
the purpose to dam the lake complete
Mr.. Hedrick estimating that water i'm
the lake is considerably above normal
at the present time. The dam will be
constructed at a level which will al
low water to flow over it, which at
seasons of the year will reduce the
stage of water considerably from its
present standpoint. The screen to be
used will prevent fish leaving the
lake at time of high water.
Local sportsmen have been exercis-
ed on account Of the overflow, fearing
that the opening at the outlet would
be the means of bringing into the
lake from the Sioux river undesirable
fish such as carp and buffalo. In or
der to prevent this wire screening has
been placed at the outlet, but this
has not proven satisfactory, in fact.
poachers have been sufficiently law
less to destroy the temporary screens.
Mr.. Hedrick will surmount the pro-
posed permanent dam with a screen
of iron rods a half inch apart, secure
ly fastened, and if at any time the
screen is tempered with prosecutions
will follow if the guilty parties be
come known.
In regard to undesirable fish COM
ing into the lake, Mr.. Hedrick is of
opinion that there is little danger.
He estimates that Brant lake would
need to be raised at least six feet in
order to connect up with the Sioux
49,. ---I r1.- A.
ly to allow the passage of fish from
the river in any considerable num-
bers. Such a rise of water would
food the entire country along the
Skunk creek valley and such a thing
is altogether improbable.
The cost of the material and con
struction of the dam will be paid out
of the state game fund.

CHANGE OF VENUE


DeSmet, April IA regular term
of state circuit court for Kingsbury
county, which will convene here next
Tuesday. will have several important
cases to dispose of. The most impor-
tant of these will be the case against
Il. A. Syverson and Il. p. Syverson,
father and 20 who are charged with
irregularities i'm connection with the
failure some months ago of the Bank
of Bancroft at Bancroft, one of the
thriving towns of K%ingsbury county.
1t is announced that the defend
ants, when their case is called for
trial at the approaching term of court
will endeavor to secure a change of
venue to some other county in the
state. 1t is said attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS have provided themselves
with a large number of a%ffidavits and
other documents, which are designed
to bear out the contention of the de
PENDANTS that because of prejudice
against them they cannot secure q
fair and impartial trial in Kingsbury
county. 1t is expected the prosecu-
ton will resist the motion.
The last public statement of the
failed bank, published only a few
days before it closed its doors, show
ed the institution had deposits of
$82,595. The cash on hand was list
ed at about $4,000. and. including
cash in banks, the bank was claimed
to have cash assets of $14,251. The
bank had $4,000 capital and a sur
plus fund of 1000, according to the
report, with $83,072 in loans and
discounts. 1t is charged that the bank
received deposits up to almost the
last minute before it closed its doors.
and If il can be proven that the de-
PENDANTS received these deposits
while knowing that the institution
was insolvent they are liable to pris-
on terms.
Prior to engaging in the banking
business at Bancroft the elder Syver-
son was a banker of WATERFOWL,
where he was rated high in financial
circles.
