LARGE SCALE HERE
Hook Plant Will
Undertake Greatest Eff
fort Yet Made in America
to Supply Textile Indus
try of United States.

One of the most ambitious attempts
by American manufacturers to meet the
shortage in aniline and its by-products,
caused by the European war, is being
made by the Benzol Products Company,
near Marcus Hook. The company has
virtually completed a new plant of six
buildings, which will give employment to
several hundred workmen and supply the
textile industry with large quantities of
the highly desirable dyestuff.
the concern, which is slightly more
than four years old, began operations in q
small shop in Frankford. With the in
creased demand for anilne. tract of
45 acres near Marcus Hook was pur-
chased. At the outbreak of the war and
shortly thereafter the demand for anillne
became so great that 1t was decided to
increase the size of the plant, and the
plans were changed to double the capa-
city. Later, as the need for the elusive
dyestuff became most pressing to the tex
tile industry In this country, the plans
were again changed, so that quadruple
the size of the proposed original plant is
now In the course of completion.
Part of the plant has begun operation
and 1t is expected that the entire organi-
zation win be available in two weeks The
principal products produced will be aniline
oils and aniline salts. Benzol the princt-
pal by-product. will be available also. The
concern announces that it already has
contracts for more than four years which
will require the operation of the full
capacity of the plant. From the demoral-
lied state OF the American dye industry
it is predicted that still more contracts
will food the concern as soon as opera
tion actually begins

SOFT CORN E
MAY BE GOOD

Brookings.-N. A. N. of Yankton
county makes the following inquiry:
Can 1 pick corr in the dough stage
and dry it and get seed corn which
will terminate well and produce a
strong plant? (By the dough stage
| mean the condition of the corn the
week preceding the formation of
the dent.("
Reply by A. N. Hume, Agrono-
mist and Superintendent of Sub
stations: After corn is really well
into the dough stage ESQ it will not
squirt under %pressure) it will make
seed, and may be picked (taking
ripest ears first and stored for seed.
Such corn is very difficult to
store. | suggest making hangers
of wire fencing. or using one of the
excellent patent wire hangers. The
ears should touch nothing at any
Loint, air should circulate all
around.
Hang the wire hangers out of
doors in the sunshine while the days
and nights remain warm, and move
them to warm shelter if an early
frost is threatened.
by such careful handling you
can pick a little in the hard dough
stage, when 1t begins to dent pick a
lot of it.
But dry it IN the sunshine and
air, and store it carefully. Then it
will grow"

SOME EARLY CORN
NOW PAST FROST
Maturing Slowly, And Needs A
Few Warm Dogs

The month of September has been
two cloudy and wet to be called
good corn weather. Hence the big
corn crop has approached maturity
very slowly. Some few samples of
matured corn of the small dent and
squaw varieties have been brought
to town the past few days. The
large yellow corn is dented. and
would soon harden up with a few
days of warm, dry weather.
There has been one light frost.
Sept, 20. which touched the corn
leaves, here and there, but not gen.
eral. and no one has reported the
ear injured. The state historical
department at Pierre says the aver
age date of killing frost in central
South Dakota for twenty wears is
October 9Th. At this time it looks
as If the smaller quick growing var
ieties, and the earliest planting will
get through all right, but the late
planting may be soft.

PIERRE RAILWAY
BEING REVIVED
Company Incorporated to Build
From Mitchell to Pierre

A Mitchell Pierre railroad again
becomes a possibility by the incor-
poration of a company. If built
this road would cross the southwest
corner of Hand county.
The Pierre Capital-Journal con-
tains these details in its last issue:
The proposed South Dakota Short
Line Railway. articles for which
were filed with the secretary of state
today contemplates a line of road
from Mitchell to Pierre, a distance
of 100 miles through the counties of
Dawson. Jerauld, Aurora. Buffalo,
HYDE and Hughes, with a tentative
line from Mitchell to Storla. in Jer-
auld county. on to Gam Valley,
Buffalo county. and up through
southern Hyde county to the vicinity
of DeGrey. Hughes county. and up
the Missouri river by way of Rous.
seau to Pierre. The capital of the
road is placed at 81, 900, 900. and the
plan of raising capital is similar to
that used in financing the Paramount
and Veblen Farmers road which was
built in the northeast corner of the
state, the farmers along the line be-
ing asked to take stock to be paid
for when the road is completed.
The incorporators of the line are

Mr. Adams the promoter who has
been over the proposed line declares
that he finds hearty encouragement
among the farmers of the portion of
the state proposed to be traversed,
as they have long been asking some
of the old established lines of the
state to give them rail facilities. but
have not been able to get any move
ment in that direction.

BIG WAR DRIVE
BY THE ALLIES
English and French Claim VIC
ies-Germans Deny These
Claims

The daily papers of Sunday con.
tanned accounts of a big offensive
movemrnt in the European war
started Saturday by the English
and French in France and Belgium.
This is the first great offensive made
by the allies. and they had evidently
been preparing for it for several
months.
They claim to have met with sue
cess in captured trenches, and a few
miles of territory gained at different
points along the 300 mile front, but
the full extent or import of this
movement may not be known for
several days. The reports from
London and Paris sav the people of
these two capitals were overjoyed
at the victories and the fact that
their side was finally taking the Of
fensive. The allies claim to have
captured some 1900 Teutons.
On the other hand the German re-
ports from Berlin say that the first
allied rush has been met and stopped
on the western front. They expect
the allies to continue their greatest
efforts for several days. but claim
the attempt to break through will
fail, because the German second and
third line defenses are stronger than
the first line. The TeutoDs clam
to have captured 1000 prisoners.
Thus the two sides see the results
differently. or at least each colors
its report to its own favor. Hence.
it will taxi some days and fuller re-
ports to get at the actual facts of
the allies offensive movement.
Whatever the result may be, it is
to have an important bearing upon
the future of the war. 1t is the al.
lies first desperate. we'll planed. sys-
tematic effort to crush the Germans.
They never would have been salts
fled until this effort had been made.
1t they show any reasonably con.
tinuous C IN driving the Ger
mans back, they will gain confidence
to pursue the war to the bitter end.
And if this great attempt now under
way fails to route the Germans, it
looks like a blocked war which will
dwindle down into trench warfare
with neither side abe to route the
other-which. as soon as realized,
may bring o%vertures for peace.
