PLOT TO BURN
DAKOTA ELEVATORS
Scotland Citizens Aroused by
Belief Incendiaries May
Be at Work.

Scotland. S. d., May 1.-The fact that
a suspicious character was seen in
Scotland apparently making al inspec-
ton from a distance of the grain ele-
vators OF the city has given rise to the
belief in some quarters that German
spies or others are about to inaugurate
a campaign having for it's purpose the
destruction of grain elevators through
out South Dakota to prevent the grain
falling into the hands of the allies i'm
the European war. 1t is known that
many OF the elevators of South Dakota
are filled to the brim with grain be-
cause of a shortage of grain cars in
which to ship it to market and because
Of This condition it is feared by some
persons hat nile grain elevators gen
orally are guarded they are liable to be
destroyed by fires of %incendiary origin.
Tho destruction of elevators and flour
ing mills in other states has added to
The belief that South Dakota may come
within the field OF operations of the
incendiaries. Many of the elevator men
of the state accordingly will lake pre-
cautions to have their elevators
guarded.

FARMERS ASSURED PLENTY
OF HELP TO HANDLE CROP

Pierre, S. D.. May 5.-The following
report is made by the immigration
commissioner concerning the labor
question here:
h state has been received by the
South Dakota Industrial commissioner.
1t shows a general need of farm labor
which cannot be supplied from outside
at present. A report from the schools
shows that practically all the boys are
needed In the home communities.
Many farm hands are coming but
likely not more han are going out for
military service. The cities are send
ing some promising considerable
soon though how many or how
enlclent cannot be told. The selective
consumption passed by congress is 60
ing to help. The government depart
ments and voluntary organizations give
up promises.
~ seems safe to assure farmers of
suIIlclent help in harvesting all crops
s,ley can get in no matter how much
they stretch their acreage and ever
after summers hot sun has wilted the
Town mans bouyant spring enthusiasm.
OF course timing the work may be
made to help like following ",e regular
grams with grain and sweet sorghums,
mlllets. beans, potatoes. sweet corn.
root crops. etc. In event of short wheat
some rye. sorphums and millet might
help corn to substitute for it. Some
sorghum will look mighty good if sugar
cannot be secured in our market.
Perhaps this year is the time for our
to consider some of the smaller
things as European farmers have all
done. Any food for man or meat
animals will find a keen demand.
fnfIhefmore the all year round system
OF farming with productive work for
every day will benefit some sections
of our state greatly.
