NO SCABIES IN HAAKON co.

There have been reports recent
ly to the effect that scabies had
developed among cattle in one Oh
two localities in Haakon county
So far as we can learn there is nc
foundation for this report. The
disease seems pretty well scatter
ed around US in the neighborinY
counties, and it is well to keep q
sharp lookout for the symptoms
but so far no cases have developed
here.

Meade, Butte, Jones and Stanley
counties where defined infected
areas have been located the work
is being given more attention, and
all that can possibly be done will
be carried out in an attempt tt

HAAKON COUNTY TAKES
LEAD In THE STATE
Was First South Dakota County
To Secure Its Quota OF
Red Cross Members

Minneapolis, Nov. 26th- Reports
received by the Northern Division
Headquarters of the American Red
Gross from many counties in the
Division indicates that the Red
Cross membership enrolment will
be as large in Minnesota, Montana
North and South Dakota during
the Fourth Annual Roll Call as
in previous years.
Counties that are able to re-
port Roll Call statistics are CO..
thusiastic over the outcome" said
E. C. Moeckel, Fourth Roll Call
Campaign Manager. But because
of bad weather in many localities
reports have been held up. Kittson
County was the first Minnesota
county to go over the top; Logan
was the first North Dakota county
to reach it's quota; the Dawson,
Garfield McCone Chapter was the
first to GO over the top in Monta-
ma; and Haakon was the first
South Dakota county to reach it's
quota. The Duluth Chapter ex-
poets an especially large enroll
ment this year, and is planning to
build a Red Cross Health Center
in Duluth"
Editorial Note: Wide publicity
has been given this week by all
the newspapers Of the Northwest
to the fact that Haakon was the
first South Dakota county to se-
cure it's quota of five hundred
members this year for the Red
Gross. Milesville was the banner
branch in the county reporting
over $50 members. Others have
been slow reporting the results of
their campaign, still others are a
bit slow in getting the work un-
der way. Local officers at Philip
hope that the membership will be
well distributed over the county
this year and that committee viii
not quit until they have good
showing.

A BASE LIE NAILED TO THE
WALL.

"Ad of hospital in Philip,
South Dakota: Maternity hospital.
Female patients only" F. P. Ad-
ans in New York Tribune, Gridley
Adams in Everybody's Magazine
for August 1920, and other smart
columnists in various journals.
This thing has been going the
rounds of the newspapers and mar
gazines of the forty-eight states
during recent months, and we have
meant to call it to the attention
of our readers before this. 1t is
intended to be a joke. When your
eye falls on it you are expected
to double up,turn purple in the
face, fall over, and die of laughter.
That the mortality has not been
larger is no fault of the authors
or circulators.
1t is in fact, a mean low-down,
lie. 1t never appeared In a Philip
newspaper. 1t just grew in the
brain of an unscrupulous New
York newspaper man, and was
published with 8 deliberate inten-
tion of injuring our town in the
eyes of the world.
Philip does not discriminate be
tween the sexes in this matter,
and never will. All people contem-
plating maternity are cordially in
vited. No questions will be asked
concerning color, previous servi-
tude, or sex.
Somebody is likely to get hurt,
if this misrepresentation of our
civic spirit goes much further.

PUTTING THE CHEYENNE BACK

It will be remembered that the
last time the Cheyenne river went
on a rampage it climbed out of it's
banks this side of Wasta, plowed
its way through the Northwestern
grade, floated the tracks on its
troubled bosom, and made an en-
tirely new channel for itself, leav-
ing the railroad bridge, which
cost the company a couple of mil
lion dollars, stranded on dry land
There has since that time been
more or less speculation as to
whether the company would con-
struct a new bridge, or attempt to
throw the river back in its old
course. It has decided to follow
the latter plan, and for several
weeks 4 large crew of men have
been busy constructing long dam
or dyke to put the Cheyenne back
where it belongs.
Work on the dam, or boom, al
ong the east side of the rive.-, just
above the bridge, is progressing
rapidly. A narrow guage railway
has been built from the main
track to the fork, for the use oi
the pile-driver and crew, and the
riprapping along the boom and
track are also being pushed.

LET NEXT LEGISLATURE
CONSIDER GRASSHOPPER

We take the occasion early to
call the attention of the state
senator and representative from
this district to the grasshopper
pest. Let other legislators from
neighboring counties come to their
aid, and consider what may be
done, Certainly we can have some
legislation that will help relieve
the situation where now there is
none. Be assured that the pesky
grasshoppers in both Haakon and
Stanley counties, as well SIS among
our neighbors, are becoming a
dangerous nuisance.
South Dakota has no legislation
covering the suppression and con-
troll of such insects as grasshop-
pers and army worms. while Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado, North
Dakota, and other western states
have legislation covering this
point. The reason for the lack of
such legislation in South Dakota
must be due to one of three things
First, because we, as state, have
neglected this point; second, be-
cause this sort of legislation in
South Dakota is unwise; or third,
because we have no need for such
legislation.
Grasshoppers alone have caused
western South Dakota an annual
loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars. In, fact, every year this
pest actually threatens the entire
alfalfa crop tboth hay and seed)
in the western part of the state.
Not only this, but enormous losses
have occurred in small grains, corn
and other crops. There is certain
ly ample need for some sort of a
movement to cut down this enor-
nous annual loss in South Dakota.
Several western states have wag-
ed concerted fight on grasshop-
pers with the aid of adequate leg
islation for several years. 1t has
been tried out on the large scale
plan and has been efficient. Be
cause Of this, the grasshopper
damaged sections of this state
feel that South Dakotat should
come into line with the other
states.
If we should be confronted by a
bad general outbreak of grass
hoppers in South Dakota, and the
chances for it are favorable, a
minimum amount of good would
be accomplished without legisla-
tion. Only small groups would be
working together and many not
working at all to stamp out the
pest. There would be lack of co.
operation which is once of the
very big things in every pest
fighting campaign. Most of the
material would be purchased ioc-
ally in small amounts at maxi
mum price. This same situation
where adequate legislation exists
could be handled in an efficient
way. Infested townships could be
organized and the, materials pur-
chased in large amounts at whole
sale price. The pest menace in
South Dakota must be met sooner
or later.

These objects are in process of at

been pushed by our agents, larger
yields have been obtained, better pigs
have been raised and finer cattle, both
dairy and beef, have been grown. The
motto of the clubs is ITO Make the

now common where only few years

a systematic effort to Gull out scrub

The average yield per acre made by

FOOD SHORTAGE TO CONTINUE
Condition Exists as Result Of De-

Scarcity Of Labor.

Food supply surveys recently made
give conclusive evidence Of more dis
astrous food shortage than during the
war period. This condition exists as
a result Of a decrease In production
due to the scarcity and high cost Of
labor. To help overcome such con-
klItion and to guard against the dias-
trous results that will naturally fol-

vegetable garden and begin at once
to prepare to grow the needed supply
of fresh vegetables and surplus for

The rapid dispersion of the adults
Of this species makes 1t vitality impor-
tant that control methods should be
taken up by community action rather
than by the individual. The following
control measures are suggested:
Standing alfalfa and red-clover
plants along fence lines and waste
areas should be burned over in au-
tumn to destroy alternating larvae.
Cultivation Of alfalfa seed fields
during the winter is of much value in
covering the infested alfalfa seeds
containing alternating larvae.
Whenever possible, the alfalfa seed
grower should do most of his irrigat-
ing in early spring, or before the seed
crop is grown.
Every farmer in an alfalfa seed
growing district should cut ali of the
standing alfalfa along fence lines,
ditch banks, and other waste areas at
the time of cutting a hay crop and be-
fore a seed crop is grown.
Hay crops should be cut carefully
So that no stems will remain standing
