Just as they do in the story books,
Farmer Levi DruTy approached his

So, fortified with more ready, cash

Who Can Show
TaneSt Wheat?

We wonder what man in this
neighborhood can show the tall
est wheat? On every side we hear
remarks about the tallest wheat
that was ever seen. 1t ranges
all the way from five feet up to
seven. Driving through the
country person can see field
after field that is no less than
five feet tall and in some places
the growth reaches an almost
unbelievable height.
Several pictures have been
brought into the Herald Office
during the past week showing
the remarkable growth Of this
cereal.
These pictures will be printed
as soon as it is possible to get
the etchings made. On one
picture you can barely see the
tops of the heads of some men
that are standing in the wheat
and on another photo the wheat
is up to the mans shoulders.
These are actual photographs
and there is no fake about them
in any way.
Some people who are reading
these articles on crops that we
are publishing may think that
We are in the real es ate business
or are being hired by land con.
cerns to boom and noost. ut
such is not the case. We are
simply running these articles be
cause they are a matter of news
and because we would like to
see this country more settled.
Our former home is in Iowa
where they are asking $3.50 an
acre for land and are paying
ST. 90 an acre rent and the far
mers in that part of world have
not near the crops that they
have here. II those people
would only come out and look
this part of the corn belt over
they would no longer attempt to
make farming pay on that high
priced land.

many localities, to permit grain
to become dry enough to thresh
before it is cut. Where this is
the case the use of the combine
may be practicable, but in the
major portion Of the Mississippi
valley summer transforms are of
such frequent occurrance as to
make it decidedly risky to allow
a field of grain to become dry
enough before cutting it. Where
these conditions prevail it is
probable that the combine will
be found unsatisfactory. There
should at least be no rush into
this new method of harvesting
wheat until experience has shown
that it is feasible where the
summer rainfall is considerable.

Prize List In
Hands Of Printers

The prize list for the Inter
State fair is now in the hands
of printers and it will be only a
few days until it is ready for
distribution. The total of the
prizes offered by the fair associ-
alton amounts in the neighbor-
hood of $500. There will be a
prize given for each and every
kind of grain, produce or live.
stock and it is the duty of every
one to exhibit the best of their
products.
The fair is not merely for the
purpose of entertainment but
also to advertise the possibilities
of this great Missouri Slope
country. Everything that is ex.
hibited will tend to make the
fair a better advertisement for
the country and therefore if you
have land in this section there
is no way in which you can
give it a better or bigger boost
than by exhibiting the things
that are raised OD it.
The fair grounds are being
rapidly pushed toward compile
ton and this week a force of
men are busily engaged in erect
ing a seven foot tence around
the fair grounds, The fence
Will lot be built entirely around
the fair grounds this year but
will be built along this noi tn and
west sides.
On Monday night of this week
the fair association signed a con-
tract that will bring one of the
best carnival attractions travel
ing to show at the fair. There
will be enough entertainment of
all kinds ito keep the crowd
amused at all times aud without
doubt the exhibits will be the
best that were ever shown at a
county fair.

moI1istoWn11e Team =
= Fails to''''Appear

The ball game scheduled for
the local pasture on Sunday was
called off on account of the non
appearance of tn Morristown
team. The reason that the team
did not show up was because the
weather did not appear very fa-
yorable until after time for the
ball game and the sports from
our neighboring city did not care
to venture on the 25 mile drive
unless they were pretty sure of
a game.
Their absence was made up in
part by game between two
teams picked from the crowd
that bad gathered to witness the
game. The battle was a hard
fought one and was no ones
game until the last half of the
ninth when the 'other guys"
run in one run after a tie had
been made i'm the first half by
us fellows who ran i'm two.
The final score was II to 10.
If it is possible that il may be
arranged to have the Morristown
boys come down next Sunday
and il they come. Lennon fan
dom can look for a battle royal.
The boys from the reservation
have not gotten over the defeat
of two weeks ago and are certain
to bring the best team that they
can secure.

Bumper Crops
Now Assured

All speculation as to the vol
ume of the crop raised in South
Dakota this season now is at an
end, as threshing machines ara
commencing to tell their stories
in some parts of the state. where
harvesting ended early. The
stories the threshlng machines
are telling bear out previous esti.
mates that the small grain CROP
of South Dakota this year will
in the aggregate be much larger
than during former years.
The harvesting Of small grain
now is practically completed in
the southern half of the state
and in all parts of the northern
section tn he great bulk of the
small gram crop. including spring
wheat, will be in the shock by
the end of this week or the be-
ginning Of the coming week.
The hot weather of the past two
weeks brought on the wheat har.
vest with a rush and farmers
since that time have worked
early and late getting the crop
out of danger from hail or other
severe storms.
The rush with which wheat
ripened found many of the farm
ers short Of harvest help, and
the women of the households in
cludlng wives and daughters,
volunteered by hundreds for SER
vice in the harvest fields. And
to their credit it can be said that
they operated binders and per-
formed other work connected
with the harvest with as much
ability as the men. Without the
efficient aid of the women and
girls many thousands of bushels
Of wheat would have been lost.
As has been the case since the
small grain harvest commenced,
many thousands of South Dakota
farmers worked all last Sunday,
sun.up to Sundown, in order not
to lose any time in getting their
small grain out of danger. In
sections of the state where the
harvesting of wheat will not be
luIIy completed by the end of the
Week harvesting operations will
