WORK GOES
ON UNDER BEST
OF CONDITIONS
Indications Are Jefferson
Farmers Will Grow Most
of Their Needs.

Although there will be more cold
weather before the real growing sea :
son arrives in this vicinity, the I'M
Usually favorable conditions which
rave prevailed in this section since
the subsistence of the flood waters has
allowed the farmers of the Pine Blufc
territory omake a considerable ad-
vance in their spring work, and tne
conditions at this time are said to be
far more favorable than has been the
case for number of years.
In all sections of the county, spring
blowing has either been completed or
is rapidly nearing that stage. Much
planting is said also to have been
done, while many farmers report they
are considerably ahead of previous
years, in their work.
So far. as has already been ye-
ported, there is reason to believe the
acreage in cotton will be slightly re-
duced. although the farmers as a rule
are said to be arranging for an jim
crease in the acreage of other crops,
the preparations for a further follow
ing of the Give at hime" and "safe
farming" propaganda being general in
all sections from which information
has been received.
There is, reason to believe Jeffer-
son county WILL produce another large
quantity of Irish and sweet potatoes,
this year, arrangements for the plant
ing of many acres of these having al
ready been completed by number
of farmers. Last year. these crops
were success in every way. Pea
nuts also will be grown in increased
quantity this year. 1t is understood
that if the Spanish white peanuts are
grown, the farmers are assured a
market for all they raise, at reason
able price. from the mills which are
grinding the nuts for the oil. Quite
number of cotton seed oil mills Of
the south and southeast, in particu-
lar, have undertaken this new venture
on large scale. and it is said these
mills are in the market now for
great quantities of peanuts, although
the white nuts only are wanted for
this purpose.
Many of the country schools are
soon to close their seasons work, fol-
loving which the boys and girls OF
the rural communities will devote
much of their time and attention to
teeir club work, the girls at growing
and canning tomatoes, beans, beets
and other such stuff. and the boys III
growing corn. raising hogs, and
kindred pursuits. Already a number
OF the club boys and girls have pre-
pared plans for a record-breakins
season, in output.

Minor Earlier Action.

Immediately after the ordinan &c

fered an amendment, that no business
be taxed more than $50 per year
There was no second.
Alderman Simpson moved thai
bankrupt sales, fire sales, ETC., be
classed under "Schedule Al There
was no second.
Alderman Bahlau moved that all
general contractors be taxed $25 per
year and all sub-contractors be taxed
SO per year. There was no second.
Alderman We'll suggested this be COW
cred in separate ordinance, thus to
avoid delay. Alderman Bahlau an
ncunced in reply that he would OPP
when it was put on passage.
Alderman We'll moved to amend, by
making the taxes payable on April l
and October /. This was seconded bv
Alderman Simpson and carried.
Alderman We'll moved to amend, by
making the tax on bankrupt, fire, or
other such sales, where the stock is
not over $4,000, $50 per $1,000; more
than $4,000, $3.50.
Alderman Bahlau innocently started
the pyrotechnical display at this time
by stating a committee from the
chamber of commerce was present
and he would like to see the commit
teemen given the privilege Of the
floor. to discuss the matter.

We'll and Simpson right on what the
chamber of commerce has done.
I'VE should not be blamed for a
newspaper article,T he said. "The
mayor has letter setting forth clear-
ly and specifically that the chamber
Of, commerce desired only to confer
and counsel with the council, in this
matter.
II do not believe the council or any
body else should blame the chamber
or commerce because of the headl mes

which, [ believe, is the matter to
Which they have made reference, in

Mr.. We'll insisted on his OBJECTION
saying also that after The occupation
tax ordinance was out of the way he
would be glad to hear the members
OF the committee discuss anything
tending to the good of the city,
Ordinance Is Tabled.
Mr.. Franey moved the ordinance,
which had received it's second read
ing, be placed on the calendar. There
was no second.
Mr.. We'll moved the rules be sus-
pended and the ordinance be placed
On third reading. There was no sec
ond. d
Mr.. Franey moved the ord nance be
tabled. Mr.. McGibonsy seconded the
motion. The roll was called, result
ing as follows:
To table-Aldermen Bahlau, Franey,
Johnson, McGibbony and Niven.-5.
Not to table-Aldermen Simpson
and Weil-2.
Mr.. Franey explained his action in
the matter, stating he was satisfied
nothing tangible would result at the
sess on on the ordinance. He regret
ted exceedingly what had happened,
and especially the fact that the news
papers would have to write it up He
felt, he said that the "notoriety"
would interest very many more people
in the measure, heads wo1ld be put
together, and some beneficial results
would be obtained later on.
Mr.. We'll said he was finished with
.the ocoupat on tax ordinance. He had
felt it was his duty as chairman of the
finance committee to make an attempt
to increase the city's revenues, thus
to avoid the growing deficit. If the
council felt that it was all right not
to pay it's just Indebtedness, Il was
all right with him. He felt he had
done his du,y, and was now absolved
from all blame in the matter. He had
devoted much time and thought to the
occupation tax matter, and was now

that the chamber of commerce is al

the progress and growth of the city. it

felt it had right to be heard.

Alderman Simpson stated that he
felt somewhat as Mr.. We'll felt, al
though Mr.. We'll had put his objection
in sons what different language than
he would. Mr.. Simpson sad he also
had read in the papers what the
chamber of commerce mad decided TO
do, and he also felt that he did not
want ODE dictated to.

Brookings has a vast trade territory
worthy Of careful and thorough cuIti-
walton by the merchants and business
men of this city. The territory has
greater possibilities and there seems
to be no reason why the business men
cannot get together in a trade draw
ing campaign. With but an exception
or two the merchants of Brookings are
on friendly and intimate terms. Some
OF them are as intimate as A. L. Davis
said they were down in Nebra. ka
where he came from. Mr.. Culhane,
president Of the Commercial Club, has
many valuable ideas on trade building
and the best part Of it is-they are
workable.
