A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with us are kept in such
condition to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require a thorough overeauling occa-
slonaly If the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least year. and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.
the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton experiencing trouble with their service we
will appreciate their talking the matter with our
Manager or writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line

FARMERS ADVISED TO
CHECK GRASSHOPPERS
Plague Possible Next Year I'm
less Measures Are Taken
to Destroy Larvae

Stockings, S. D.. Oct. 23.-''1t is very
important thai farmers who We're
sroubled with grasshoppers this season
should tax immediate steps to de-
Itroy the g~rasshopper eggs in their
fields" says Prof. II. c. SEVERN, state
ntomologist at State college, because
here are many conditions which favor
an outbreak Of grasshoppers next year.
TWO of the most important OF these
conditions are: % a lack OF parasites
Or predictions animals, and CD dry
weather during the early life of the
hoppers. We know through an exam
nation Of the alfalfa fields hat the
parasites and ~predacious animals are
not sufficiently abundant to control the
present g~rasshopper outbreak and we
cannot predict the kind of weather
We shall have during the early life OF
the g~raSshopper next year"
Professor SEVERN states that grass
hopper & may be destroyed by
blowing. %discing, narrowing or Guilt
waiting grasshopper infested fields. The
depth to which the soil need be stirred
is only two inches. and which Of the
foregoing methods of eradication is
used will depend, first upon the farmer
and his tools and. second. upon the
location of the grasshopper eggs. The
object of ~cultivating, narrowing,
discing or shallow blowing is to crush
the eggs or to break open the egg
masses and thus expose them to the
drying action of the sur and wind, to
frost action or to the attacks Of molds
and animals.
Whatever implement is used to de-
stroy the grasshopper eggs" states
Professor SEVERN. "a thorough job
must be done and the implement should
be run not only lengthwise, also
crosswise over the fields, after the
gr~asshoppers have deposited their
eggs CATER the middle of October in
1870 and if possible repeated in the
spring. South Dakota alfalfa owe
nave found a spiked toothed disc or
renovator desirable because it DESTROYS
the s~rasshopper eggs with less injury
to the alfalfa than an ordinary disc"
PROFESSOR SEVERN tates that alfalfa
cover and others whose fields were
bothered by grasshoppers should

Eggs. looking for them not only in the
rleids but in the narrow strips of land
bordering alfalfa fields. No great num-
Der of ~grasshopper eggs are laid in the
native prairie land, except in the mar
row strips of land bordering alfalfa
and corn fields.

VOTERS SKEPTICAL ON
FAIRFAX WITHDRAWAL
Burke Boosters View 1t as Plan
to Cause Deadlock In Coun-
ty Seat Contest.

Burke, S. D., Oct. 25.-If actual con-
ultions conform to surface claims.
something entirely new in county seat
fights has happened in Gregory county.
The town now holding the county seat.
Fairfax. processes to have dropped out
OF the contest, announcing that its IN
fluence will be thrown to Herrick. one
OF the two opposing Ihere
are some angles to the situation, how
ever, which make 1t possible that this
move by Fairfax may be directly de-
signed to hold the honor which it thus
processes to r~elinquish. The new move
has been a real sensation and has set
the county politicians agog.
Before the rcputed withdrawal OF
Fairfax, there were three ~contending
towns: Fairfax, present county seat,
located near the extreme eastern edge
of the county. Herrick, located near
the center of the county, but u few
miles to the east; Burke, located near
the center of the county, but a few
miles to the west.
There has been no question of the
desire OF q majority of the voters to
move the county seat nearer the cen
ter of the county,, but in previous con-
tests the division OF strength between
Burke and H.errick enabled Fairfax to
hold the balance of power-and the
seat.
In the campaign this year the voters
in the western part of the county, and
in the central eastern part. sanX-
TO get the case settled, have set
tied on Burke so unanimously that its
success at the polls seemed assured.
Now the alleged Fairfax withdrawal
seems to give Herrick a chance and
will draw to the support of that town
many voters in the central area who
were aligned with Burke. Then, if the
people of the Fairfax territory quietly
support their own town, as generally
the election will fail to give
any town the required majority, and
will hold the county seat.
1t is an unusually interesting sit
and supplants all other election
in this county.
