OPPOSING SITES
NOW BIG ISSUE:
FOR MISSOURI POW.
ER PLANT TO STORM NEXT
LEGISLATURES IN FIGHT
FOR LOCATION.

Pierre, Sept 24.-The indications
are for a warm contest at the regular
session of the legislature over the To-
cation of a hydro-electric plant on
the Missouri river.
The engineers who made the sur
vey pointed out the site near Mo-
bridge as the one which could be put
in at the lowest cost, and the one at
Mule Head, near old Wheeler, in
Charles Mix county, as the second in
cost.
The boosters for the Mule Head
site are putting up the plea that
their location would be nearer to the
greatest number of people of the
state, which would offset the differ
ence in cost at the Mobridge site.
The boosters from the northern
part of the state put up the initial
cost as the issue on which the loca-
tion should be made at that place.
and both forces will be on hand to
fight out their claims before the leg
islative session.

Farmer Finds Still
In His COrnfield

washington. Sept. 24.-Sunday
morning when Joe Pierce was riding
through his corn field inspecting the
crop, he accidentally ran across a
fully equipped whisky still which
had evidenally been in operation for
some time. There were a couple of
large cream cans, one filled with d
sour mash partially fermented.
There were also several jugs, but on
ly trace of liquor in each of them.
The sheriff of Hand county was inn
mediately notified and came down
from Miller, accompanied by the
states attorney, and took possession
of the entire outfit. No trace could
be found of the operators. There has
been considerable liquor dispensed
around washington during the past
several weeks, and this still was
probably the source of good share
of 1t.

FARMERS ARE IN
NEED OF HELP
ASSISTANCE MUST BE HAD IN
TRANSPORTATION, FINANCE
AND LABOR SAYS A STATE
MENT.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-The American
Farm Bureau Federation i'm state
ment last night summarizing its in
vestigatiOn into business and indus
trial and agricultural conditions de-
clared that America sis facing an
agricultural economic condition
which. if not intelligently dealt with,
will lead to consequences so grave
as to affect all industry to the point
of imperiling the social ORDER
The statement says farmers must
be given immediate help in trans
portation, finance and labor. and rec
ommends the following as remedial
efforts:
Preferential treatment in trans
portation to all farm produce held
for shipment and to all goods con-
signed to farmers which are neces-
sary to conduct the business of farm
ing.
More profits for farmers, better
distribution systems which would
tend to eliminate middlemen and
stabilized prices.
"Ample finance with rural banks
assuming the obligation Of financing
the farmer with long and priority
credits.
Protection from wild cat invest
ments, which are said to be taking
millions of dollars from farmers an
nually.
Equalization of agricultural and
industrial labor wages, which the
statement declares can be accom-
plished only by lowering industrial
wages or increasing farm wages.
"Encourag agement of immigration. ;"

WORM
DAMAGE NEXT YEAR
STATE COLLEGE EXTENSION EN-
TOMOLOGIST GIVES SOUTH
DAKOTA FARMERS GOOD
ADVICE

Brookings. Sept. 24--Now is the
time to keep the cutworms out of
next springs corn land. A little ex-
ira effort now may save replanting
the corn in the spring. suggests A. l..
Ford, extension entomologist at State
college.
Injurious cutworms hatch from
eggs laid by the ordinary cutworm
moths. usually in September. The
worms become half grown before
winter, when they go deeper in the
soil for Information. In the spring
they again come to the surface and
resume feeding. This is the stage
that is so injurious to young corn.
Cutworm moths always lay their
eggs in grassy, weedy places during
the early fall. Should the vegetation
be removed from this land during
this early fall laying period, the
moths will hunt for favorable places
to deposit their eggs elsewhere, the
result being that the land free from
vegetation will be practically free
from cutworms the following spring.
Every farmer who has decided on
his corn land for next spring is urged
to early fall plow this land if pos
sible. If the vegetation on. the land
in question can be destroyed and the
land kept bare during the early fall
by disking, it will serve just as well.
Next springs corn land treated in
this manner this fall will be practic-
ally free from cutworm injury in the
spring.

WOOL PRODUCT
SENT TO MARKET
GROWERS OF STATE ASSEMBLE
ABOUT 100000 POUNDS IN
POOL AT CHICAGO.

Brookings, Sept. 24.-Wool grow
ers of South Dakota have shipped-ap-
proximately 100000 pounds of
wool to Chicago up to date to be sold
in the state wool pool. The wool
market has been in a dormant con-
dition since early May, but local buy
ers were offering as much as 45
cents per pound in Iowa for good
wool, in the country, coukle of
weeks ago. This is 10 to Is cents
per pound more than was offered in
July and the first part of August.
The various state associations that
have pools in Chicago are in no hurry
to sell as the market seems to be a
waiting one and national federation
is in process of formation. which
will assist the selling agencies in
stabilizing the market.
Wool growers shipping wool by
local freight should be careful to put
their name and address, not only on
shipping tags, but upon the sacks of
wool, with lamp black. There are
few sacks of wool in Chicago now
without a trace of the owner
Anyone having such lot and not
having heard from it after ii has
been out 80 days should either write
the consignee or the secretary of the
South Dakota Sheep and Wool Grow
ers' association at Brookings.. Every
thing will then be done to prove
identity of the wool and get it re-
leased to the proper parties. and stop
demurrage.
