Mr.. Sealock sent clipping which
shows how they thresh out in the
Solomon valley. 1t reads as follows:
We don't know whether it is Of
ten the case to time threshing by the
hour or stack or certain number OF
bushels. Generally threshing rec
ords are spoken of as so many bush
els per day. However, we know OF
a record that we consider pretty
good one and if you know of one
that beats it, we will be glad to
make an account of it. 1t was made
at the George Palmer place south
west of town. George had the Joe
Buck machine doing his threshing
and he told the outfit that he would
like to see them try to beat rec
ord made on his place a year or two
before when the Welch-Wheeler rig
ran out load of about 55 bushels
in nine minutes. The pitchers, six
of them, decided to try to beat the
record by putting the stacks of head
ed grain through the machine, three
men on each of the stacks. They
ran the two complete stacks through
the machine in 38 minutes and the
amount of wheat threshed was 260
bushels, or an average Of nearly 7
bushels per minute. This beat the
other record by an average of nearly
a bushel per minute and it was also
over a longer stretch of time. The
machine is a big one, practically
new, and took the grain as fast as
the men could get it into the feeder
The same rig turned out 1920 bush
els for Carl Caldwell Monday in less
than ten hours.

Cotton ON Wolf Creek

Mr.. r. L. Burcher, who lives on
Wolf creek. in Union township,
brought to this office last Saturday
an armful of real cotton foliage
leaves, blossoms and bolls. Mr..
Burcher, while in Oklahoma last
year, gathered some cotton seed,
which he brought home, and this
spring planted. While we have
never seen field of cotton growing
we are of the opinion that Mr..
Burcher has heavy stand. The
plants he reports as being more than
five feet high. They are heavy with
the green leaves, and have many
bolls and blossoms. The bolls are
as large, or larger than hulled wal
nuts.

OPPOSES CHANGE IN WAY
OF NAMING POSTMASTERS
Civil Service Reform League
Pleads for Continuance of
Merit System.

The National Civil Service Reform
League sees a serious blow aimed at
the efficiency of the postal service "in
the movement for the overthrow of
the merit system in the selection and
appointment of postmasters in the in
coming administration.
H. w. Marsh. secretary Of the
league, in a statement given out to-
day. stated that "the success of the
competitive system for the selection
of postmasters has been demonstrated
in many cases through the operation
of the executive order issued by Pres
ident Wilson on March 81, 1917.
whether or not President-elect
Harding continues that order in force
in it's existing form. the league is con-
f1dent that he will maintain the prin-
ciple underlying the order" Mr..
Marsh continued.
"In an investigation conducted by
the Post Office Department.. in 2,103
cases, where postmasters were ap-
pointed through competitive examina-
tions conducted under the terms of
the aforementioned order a total Of
1.012 appointees were democrats 907
were republicans. 32 were independ-
ents. 10 were prohibitionists, 3 were
socialists, 129 had no affiliation, and in
10 cases the appointees failed to state
their political affiliation.

WHY ASSESS REAL
PROPERTY EACH YEAR

We have often wondered if there
be wisdom in assessing real prop
erty each year. In Haakon county
as in other counties, the assess
ment is made each year at consid-
cradle expense for the assessment,
and listing of such property.
In North Dakota movement is
on hand to provide for the as
sessment of real estate once in ten
years. Ten years is undoubtedly too
long a time to use one valuation
in a growing country, but it is
certainly a waste and needless ex-
pense to provide for assessing the
cost of books and printing, the
The pioneer-review. [volume] (Philip, Haakon County, S.D.) 1920-current, 1921-05-12

clerical hire and extending tax
lists, and the extra time spent in
equalizing assessments every year
is something that should be elm
mated to the extent of one half
at any rate. There is no earthly
reason for assessing our land and
lots every year. The same valua-
tion should apply for at least two
or three years. The amount of
money that is wasted in this as
sessment business amounts to big
figures when a whole state is TAX
en- into consideration. Certainly
conditions are not materially
changed as to valuation of real
estate, but large part of the cost
of assessment viii fall on farmers
who are about as hard hit as they
can be at the present time.

HOW TO DEAL WITH
MIGRATING CITTWORMS

Brookings, S. D.-Migrating cut
worms have maSe their appear
ance in damaging numbers in sew
eral places in the state, according
to A. L. Ford, extension agrono-
mist at State College. This trou-
Die, he says, may become general
before the cutworm season is over.
Most of the damage thus far is to
small grains, and this is as yet
quite small in many places. The
worms, which do not feed during
the day move into the grain 800
or 400 feet each night and take it
clean as they go.
Poisoned bran bait, when pre-
pared and applied correctly, is alb
soIutely an efficient way to stop
these migrating cutworms in their
tracks" says Mr.. Ford. 1T is
prepared and used as follows: Mix
one pound of Paris green or white
arsenic thoroughly through 25 lbs
of wheat bran while dry Dilute
two quarts of cheap, strong molas-
ses in about three gallons of water
and moisten the dry bran and
poison with this sweetened solu-
ton.
This mash is fairly dry and will
break into flakes when trown from
the hand. For migrating cut
worms it should be applied broad
cast to the infested land, in the
evening. Never apply it in the

YOUNG MAN KILLED
BY ELECTRICITY
Allen Boyd, Employed by Local
Light Company Burned To
Death Monday Afternoon

/ Perhaps the most deplorable ac-
cident in the history of Philip oc-
cured Monday afternoon, when the
Allen, the nineteen year old son of
Richard Boyd, was fatally injured
while attempting to repair the
wiring of the Philip Light & Pow
er Company, in the west part Of
town. Young Boyd had just en-
tered the employ of the company
that morning although he had at
different times worked at repair
ing the lines and was considered
an experienced hand at this class
of work.
During the forenoon with c. H
Holcomb he had been repairing
some of the wiring in the west
end and had expected to finish the
work after dinner. When Mr.. Hol-
comb reached the power plant a
bout 2:30 he found that coil Of
wire was gone which they had in
tending using, and thinking the
Young man had taken it he start
ed on his way to where they were
to work. He hardly left the build
ing when he noticed that some
thing was wrong from the sound
Of the engine, and went back.
A glance at the switch board told
him that there was short circuit
somewhere and he Immediately
threw off the switch and started
out to locate the trouble.
In the meantime people residing
in the vicinity of the accident
saw the young man hanging ac-
ross the wires and his clothing On
fire. Aid was summoned, and
ladders secured, but in the mean
time the clothing was almost com
pIetely burned from the body and
those portions of the body where
the wires had come in contact,
we're burned until the bones We're
exposed. 1t required the help Of
several men with ropes to get the
body down from the pole and al
tho this was done in a very few
minutes it seemed much longer to
those who witnessed the catas-
trophe
The body was removed to, the
home of Mrs. Evans just across
the street sand Drs. Ramsey and
Gearhart were on hand to give
every aid in their power, but with
little hope that. he could live. He
died at 2:45 Tuesday morning,
about twelve hours after the -ac-
cident.
Just how the accident occurred
will perhaps never be known, as
he died without regaining con-
sciousness, and there was no wit
nesses. 1t is supposed that he
came in contact with a live wire
in climbing about the top of the
pole and that the shock threw him
across the two wires, in which
position the body was first seen
by people of the neighborhood.
Allen Boyd came here last fall
and while he resided with his
father, he has worked at various
times for the telephone and cleo
tric light companies He was a
young man of good habits and in
dustrious, and was highly esteem
ed by all who knew him.
The body was taken Wednesday
evening to Des Moines, his former
home, where burial will be made
