f ro m Minneapolis, Davenport,
Waterloo. Webster City, Iowa
Falls and other points in Iowa

several days in a tour of inspec-

to our east.
With the exception of some
parts of Hamilton county, Iowa,
no place that was visited could
show a field of corn that COM
pared with the corn that we
have here. Very little of the
corn will mature there and hun
dreds OF acres are absolutely
worthless because of the heavy
frosts that have visited these
territories.

Yellowstone Trail
Calls More surveying

A. S. Tubbs returned to Lem
mon Saturday last, having spent
some three weeks in Bowman
county surveying several roads
for that county.
Bowman is alive in the matter
of improved highways and the
Yellowstone Trail which passes
through the county and town of
Bowman is said to be the best
improved of any of that popular
road west of the Missouri river.
A direct mile of the trail COM
pletes a mile of main street for
that city which the enterprising
businessmen of Bowman have
marked at each end Of the
street with beautiful solid ce-
ment blocks some seven feet in
height and gradually tapering to
the top which is crowned with
fretted work upon which is
inscribed the year the trail was
completed through that county.
The Yellowstone Trail has call
ed out the best material in both
the country and different towns,
for the upbuilding of a gigantic
piece of roadwork which will
each year be supervised and
looked after until it is placed in
the condition necessary, to be-
come known as the best trans
continental highway from ocean
to ocean.

financial mechanlsms were ere

order to enable the United States

is explained by the fact that,

The Federal Reserve Act
Portions of John H. Rich's South Dakota
Address on The Federal Reserve
System

Some days ago an executive
of one of the New York reserve
banks of a southern district was
reported as having said that 1t
was possible now to issue three
times the volume Of the emerg-
ency currency that went out last
year.
A recent address by John H.
Rich, chairman and federal re-
serve agent of the reserve bank
of the ninth district, Of which
Minneapolis is the center, con-
tains earnest monitions against
the spread of any disposition un-
duly to expand the currency.
Mr.. Rich said that while the is
sue power is ample, nevertheless
| it should be held steadily in re-
serve until we need it. In the
spring, one of the leading inter-
national financiers, possibly the
best informed of all of those
who have relations with the
great movements of finance back
and forth across the sea, SAID
that there did lurk danger in
the federal reserve system. 1t
was the danger Of overinhation
due to overspeculation. That
opinion, Benjamin Strong, Jr.,
governor of the federal reserve
banks of this district, voiced in
an address delivered to the bank
ing association at Saratoga.
Some of those in authority
over the system in Washington
have been free to HAT that
danger of this kind d does ex
ist and that there should be con
slant watchfulness. That view
is also taken by Frank A Wander
lip president of the Na,icna
City bank. All of these author

Crop Reports
The Past Week

opSSiol otdtS NStoSlOlOS lSt
M. E. Blystone has issued the
following report on weather and
crop conditions for the past week:
The weather during the past
week was cool and rainy, with
deficient sunshine, these condi-
tions being more pronounced
during the latter part of the
week. Threshing an d haying
were interrupted by the rain. al
though some progress was made
with this work.
The week has been too cool
and rainy for corn, checking it's
advancement and lessening the
prospects for good crop. While
some fields are nearly past the
point of danger from frost, the
greater portion of the crop is re-
ported as requiring from on e
to two weeks of favorable wealth.
er to place it beyond such danger.
Pastures are fine. and stock
continues in good condition.
In some localities plowing and
seeding of winter wheat h a S
commenced.

ceived from different sections,
the corn was not greatly damag-
ed. The leaves show some eff
fects of the frost. but farmers
claim that this will not inj lure the
crop, as there is sufficient nour-
ishment already in the stock to
mature the crop.

Perkins Makes Good
Showing at State Fair

The Perkins County Exhibit at
the State Fair, just closed at
Huron, ranked we'll with exhibits
Of the other and older counties
If the state, as demonstrated by
the score and position accredited
to it by the judges.
Every year sin ce Perkins IN
county has been making exhib-
its at the State Fair has seen
her outclass all the other count
jos west of the Missouri river,
and score very close to some OF
tho eastern counties who were
ont after the money. Being
new county, it has always been
hard to compete with the older
counties. because they had all
tbe advantage in being able to
locate and secure samples from
tho various varieties needed to
to make complete exhibit. In
addition they got on the )oo
and planted much Of the stuff
which they expected to use, and
TINS were able to obtain a SAM
ple when it looked the best.
This is the ideal way in which
to make and prepare an exhibit
and until some such plan as this
is followed, Perkins or no other
county can reasonably expect to
win a top position with the com
petjtion as keen as it usually is,
when such counties as Brookings,
Spink, Yankton, Dawson. Clay
or Hanson go out to win. Times
past have seen all of he G
counties at the State Fair, with
exhibits that kept the Judges
busy foc considerable time de.
Gliding the matter, and when the
score was announced, not to ex'
ceed 30 points separated tn G
lowest county from the highest,
and the winner was barely ;
points ahead of the nearest com
netitor, Perkins county will ye'
win first place at the State FAN
and bring thathonor to the Wes'
side Of the river for the first time
in the history of the Fair.
1t takes time and experience
; to do these things and it als'
costs money and with the pas
few years experience, it will no
be hard to raise the money il
the future,
Messrs Finch, Hoffman an
SeidschIag have done we'll thi
year and will do better next.

of the people are eager to learn
all that can be taught about the
operation Of the new federal re-
serve system. 1t was for this
reason that Mr.. Rich was in
vited to speak before the South
Dakota Bar association at Water
iowa, S. D., on Sept. 2. He OBJ
served great interest among the
people of the northwest. and es-
pecially in what New York re-
CARDS as faraway South Dakota.
The people want to know why
a change in onr federal banking
system was necessary and what
was sought by those who draft
ed the federal reserve banking
system bill.
Mr.. Rich told his hearers that
the foundation for the whole
movement of banking reform
was the desire to enable t h e
commercial banks of the United
States efficiently to serve the
need of commerce, agriculture
and industry. Those who heard
Mr.. Rich may have been a little
astonished to hear him say that,
while he is a firm believer in the
new system, nevertheless he is
not blind to the fact that time
and long experience are neces-
sary before it is developed into
a thoroughly efficient piece of
financial machinery.
Occasionally it has been re-
ported that the United States
could not have given to the al.
lied nations and to the world the
stupendous financial aid it has
given had the federal reserve
banking act not been in opera
ton. But, in Mr.. Rich's view
it would be hardly fair to sa!
that the federal reserve act il
the sole cause that is leading tn
great nations of the far world t
turn toward the United State
for financial aid.
On the other hand. it is rea
, sonable to take the view tina
as these demands increase, as
{ they are sure to increase, tn
federal reserve bank system wi
provide the machinery by mean
, of which we can much more ef
, fectively handle the foreign an
, domestic situation than woul
, have been possible a yeas agt
