South DakOta'S Fair.
Biggest and Best in History Of
the State.

The editor had the pleasure of
visiting the South Dakota state fair
this year, making the trip by auto.
the roads being in good shape for
most Of the distance.
In past years many Of our people
who have desired to visit state
fair have found it more convenient
to go to the Minnesota exhibition
because of railway accommodations,
but with the roads in good condi-
tion the trip can be made by auto
to our own state fair just as we'll.
The South Dakota fair has been
getting to be a bigger event each
year, and this year the attendan nee
was more than forty per cent larg-
er than that of any previous year.
The display of live stock and agri-
cultural products could hardly be
excelled. The fine bred hogs,
cattle. sheep and horses. were posi-
tive evidence that South Dakota is
great live stock region, and that
the farmers and breeders Of the
state are satisfied with nothing less
than the best. There were several
fine displays from all Of the Indian
reservations and a number Of the
counties. Grant county's only dis
play was a showing of fruit from
Big Stone, which was very credit
able, and number of prizes were
awarded the exhibits, but the dis
play was not we'll looked after, as
when we saw it there were some
apples there that should have been
removed before.
A fine showing of corn from all
the different sections Of the state
was made.
Among the prizes awarded were
the following:
E. j. Hublow Of M;lbank took
lst prize for white dent corn.
Big Stone City Creamery was
given lst prize on creamery butter,
and the Troy cheese factory receiv-
ed second premium on cheese.
A sweepstakes pre- MUM was
awarded the Wealthy apples in the
Big Stone fruit display.
John Nord, jr.. was awarded frs;
premium in the boys live stock
Judging contest. which entities him
t. free transportation to the fair at
Sioux City.
The Grant County Girls Canning
Club was awarded second premium
and Miss Winnie Heath received
, first premium for largest amount OF
canned goods.
The big crowd at the fair taxed
the accommodations of Huron to
the utmost, and hundreds of autos
had camping arrangements with
them and parties camping.
On the return trip from the
south we came by way Of the King
of Trails. The road was fairly
good until we reached the northern
part Of Deuel. county, and the worst
part of it was after we had crossed
the line into Grant county. If we
wish to keep this trail on the South
Dakota side of the state line the
section Of the road south Of Labolt
will have to be put in better condi-
tion than it is at present

The COAL

We have been duly informed thai
the United States faces a fuel short,
age next winter. This is due to de
creased production for one reason
or other we are told. Shorter work.
ing hours and Insufficient labor are
the main factors.
Now comes a report from Europe
that western and southern Europe
is badly in need Of coal. England
in prewar days supplied around So
100000 tons and production there is
much below normal. 1t is estimated
that there is a deficiency of 10000
600 tons that can only be ~,upplied
by America. In the face Of this ex-
port demand America is not produe-
ing like IL could nor is America sup-
piled with shipping to take care Of
the business.
Ii would seem that it va. time to
stop fiddiine and get down to real
business, not alone in fuel produe-
ton but along the whole line. Mere
ly raising prices Of food and other
neoessaries Of life and give wage, a
hoist to offset thi, increased cost
OF living, gets the country nowheres.
This circle business Of raising prices
every few days gets the country
nothing. Expansion Of production
and extension Of commerce must be-
come the order Of the day.

PREPARE FOR FALL WHEAT

The winter wheat harvest is later
in eastern New Mexico and in con-
sequence the preparation of land for
fall sowing is being delayed. But
this all important element in sue
cessful wheat growing, must not be
sighted because of present very
favorable moisture conditions.
Growing winter wheat, kafir, milo,
and other grain and forage sorghums
successfully year out and year in on
the plains of New Mexico, depends
on proper preparation of the land.
The land must be plowed or listed
as early in the season as possible
and thereafter kept free from
weeds. The disk and the harrow
follow every rainfall to store mois-
ture
The season Of 1917, which was dry,
demonstrated that well prepared
wheat land produced a good crop
with very limited rainfall. In Curry
County were well prepared fields
that produced more than twenty
bushels of wheat with a rainfall of
six inches after the wheat was sown
in the fall of 1916. The 'hogged in
wheat yielded only a few bushels.
Conditions now are exceptionally
good. But no one can predic. that
the rainfall next pear will be as
heavy, There is plenty of moisture
in the soil now. By careful and early
preparation enough moisture may
be stored to carry the crop through
successfully, even if next winter
should prove dry.
Attention should also be given to
the selection of the best seed wheat
possible at this time Better seed
may result in heavier yield. An ex-
ira bushel per acre will be pure
gain.

THE WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

The investment feature of the war
savings stamps needs to be stressed.
1t is the only form of investment
designed for the little investors that
has ever been offered in the United
States by the government. The
system is simple in the extreme.
The stamps may be bought at any
postoffice, at banks, and other bust
ness places. The transaction is as
simple as buying a postage stamp.
IL begins to draw interest at once
II may be registered if desired which
protects the owner against loss. The
stamps may be cashed at any time
on ten days notice. In other words
it is a safe, convenient, and readily
cashed government security. No red
tape at any stage of the proceed
ings.
