Political Meeting
Wataz1ga To-day
Sioux County Voters League Holding
Meeting at Wataaga Today.-Will
Talk County Seat Removal

Martin Swift of selfridgc. prcsi
dent of the Sioux County Voters
League, has called another meet
ing Of the League to be held at
Watausa, SD, August 4th (today
1t is expected that the purpose OF
the meeting will be to decide on
what steps are to be taken to bring
the question of voting on the pro-
posed removal OF the county seat
from Fort Yates.
So far as the Pioneer is concerned
it will welcome a vote on the county v
seat location at the general election.
At the primary election in June a
total of 1913 votes were polled in the
county. 176 votes were cast in Fort
Yates precinct alone. A number
Of voters registered did not take the
trouble to go the polls, but should
the county seat location question
be submitted this fall it is safe to
say to say that Fort Yates precinct
would poll at least 200 votes in
favor of Fort Yates.
AS it takes two-third majority
vote to move the county seat Fort
Yates could hold it without any
outside, help. However, both Solen
and Cannonball precincts would
without doubt return substantial
majorities in favor Of Fort Yates.
The people OF both, these places
have occasion to come to Fort Yates
often on business at the Agency,
and as it is nearer and much more
convenient to come here than so to
Selfridge they naturally favor Fort
Yates as the location for the county
seat.
Ii the county seat question is de-
cided this fall in favor Of: Fort
Yates, vote to move the : county
scat cannot be taken for ten years.
BY all means submit the question
this fall.

Still Time For Bermuda

Feed for the stock twelve months
in the year, Bermuda pasture for
summer and Bermuda hay for win
ter, can be had on any farm. Why
grow more cotton to buy hay when
Bermuda grows so readily every
where? Bermuda is the cheapest
feed that can be grown. Bermuda
is adapted to nearly all soils. 1t
is hardy and very drought resistant.
But above all Bermuda grass is the
richest in feeding value of any grass
grown in the south. Its protein
content is higher than that of any
grass known. Pasture the Bermuda
already on the place and get some
more started for hay. Start it dur
ing April or May. Use pieces Of
sod planted in rows three feet apart
or SOW six pounds of seed per acre.
Start Bermuda and then grow live
stock on it.

Why Not Be Safe

1t will be the part of wisdom on
the part of each and every farmer
in Arkansas to play safe" this year
and grow enough feed for all his
stock and enough meat and veee-
tables for his family for a whole
year. Corn, Clover and Content
ment" and Pigs, Peas and Prosper
ity" will be good slogans. If the
European war continues we can
only market about ten million bales
of cotton, and if farmers grow fif-
teen million bales they may expect
to get about six cents for it, less
than it cost to grow it. Plant a
little more corn, larger patches of
peas, soy beans and peanuts, and a
larger field of Sudan grass, and
another acre of sorghum, and a
bigger garden, and get another COW
or a few calves and a few more pigs
and be safe, and then hold cotton
until December or January, Why
not?
