TIME TO PICK SEED CORN

The selection of good ears Of seed
corn from the field is a matter of
great Importance to all corn growers
says Ralph E. Johnston, extension
~agronomist at State college. The
first half of September is the time
to make plans and do the actual work.
The exact date to begin depends very
largely upon the season and the ma
turity Of the corn.
For the northern third of the state
the week beginning September 5 is
none too early to examine the corn
fields for signs Of the proper time to
make field selection of seed ears. For
the central third Of the state this work
should begin by September 10, and for
the southern section by September Is.
Every South Dakota corn grower
should select a quantity of the best
seed from his W field, and if the
crop is an extra good one of a pure
variety, an extra large supply should
be gathered.
Good field selected seed corn, prop
erly stored after gathering is a valu-
able crop to have and the surplus
above the farm needs will find a good
market. 1t is also well to keep a sup
ply Of good seed on hand for seasons
Of poor seed and for a possible re-
planting"

And 1t was at hat moment that,
clear and distinct through the still

darted forward.

stared dazedly round the room. He

INCREASE WINTER GRAIN

An increased acreage of winter
grains will be planted in South Dakota
this fall, Judging from the inquiries
received by the extension service of
State college, where many letters have
been answered regarding the culture
of these crops and the sources of good
seed. A fall seed list has been issued
by the South Dakota Experiment asso-
citation, an organization of pure seed
growers, with the cooperation Of the
county agents and the extension SER
vice. from whom copies can be OBJ
tanned. This list Is a result of the
certified seed work Of State college
and the information which it contains
is valuable to the grower who wants to
secure good seed Of the best varieties,
such as Turkey and Kanred winter
wheats; Swedish, Advance and Rosen
winter rye. Winter wheat this year
proved the most successful of all small
I grain crops, some yields ran exception
ally high. The dry weather came O
late to affect them seriously.

For a moment Drummond looked at
him narrowly. Was 1t a stupid bluff,
or was the man so sure of his power
of disguise that he assumed with GER

And it suddenly struck Hugh that,

THE COMPLAINERs
Are People Losing Their Fortitude
Over Little Incidents

ooh, God, amt it turribul" a wash
lady remarked the other day, after
a few minutes of laundry work, on
a summer morning. The housewife
had thought it was fairly cool day.
There was more humidity than usual
but as the thermometer registered
only rs, it did not seem such bad
morning. The washlady looked ath-
letic and muscular, but she could
hardly work five minutes without
grunting and fretting.
Little incidents like these are oc-
curing daily, and raise the question
whether people are losing their for
titude. The pioneers of this country
built it up by the hardest kind of
hard work. If they ever stopped
work for hot weather, no record OF
it exists. Most people who were
brought up in the country can re-
call how the farm help used to keep
hoeing corn and making hay on the
hottest days, and very little fault
was found about it.
Of course many people have worn
themselves down by hard work, and
have lost at an early age all elasti-
city of youth. Many women who
have have had to do homework and
care for children, have yet gone out
to do six to eight hours of laundry
work additional to their home cares.
You can't find fault with such peo-
| pie if their motions are languid.
On the other land, many people
since the easy times of war initiation,
have fallen into a loafing habit.
When they felt perfectly secure OF
job, they dawdled over their tasks
and acquired habit of inaction that
must have tended to reduce THEN
physical vigor. Now they fee
burdened and driven if asked
to do good active work on a warm
day.
There are some folks who are
perpetually complaining about theil
tired feelings, or other adverse con.
ditions. The more they fret the
worse they feel, and the more othel
people dislike them. The folks who
achieve satisfactory results in life
make an effort to keep their mouth!
shut about their bad feelings.

Railroad Service to Des Moines

In the July 14th issue of the De-
corah Republican | noticed an article
which was misleading to the public
regarding railroad schedules to DeS
Moines. | am writing this in the
interest of the public partly as they
shoald have the facts in all cases
The article states that the Rock Is
land is now able to give the best
service between DEBORAH and DeS
Moines that has been known in many
years and then gives the schedule
at''if'a. In. arrive in Des Moines al
$50 p. m. Also leaving DEBORAH al
1916 p. m. arrive at Des Moines al
11:15 p. m. The schedule as given
| presume, is correct, but it is not
the best DEBORAH has had for many
years as stated. You can at the
present and have been able to do SO
for very long time past leave De-
corah on the Milwaukee at a. M
and arrive in Des Moines at $3.50
p. M, being an hour quicker than
any other line. You can also leave
DEBORAH at 3:15 p. m. on the Mil
waukee and arrive at Des Moines al
HIS p. M, being 3 hours quicker
than any other line. We have one
hour and thirteen minutes at New
Hampton to make connection, so
there is no danger of losing it.
simply make these statements for
the benefit of all concerned and have
no doubt the article was printed
without looking up any other rail
road schedule, other than the one
referred to.

L. c. BAND GOING WELL
Gave Well Patronized Concerts at
velya and Minot, n. ID.

Minot, N. D., July Is.
The last two days the Luther
College Concert Band has spent in
Velva and Minot, N. d. In both
Of these two places great enthusiasm
was displayed. The Aaker brothers,
formerly of DEBORAH, were among the
pushers of the concerts in both cities.
Unfortunately, the crops around Vel
va and Minot are practically des-
troyed by the heat; in Velva it is
the sixth consecutive failure, And
the farmers are very respondent.
Nevertheless the bands enjoyed the
good fortune of having large addi.
ences both places. In Minot there
were people who came 80 miles to
the concert, and several who came
so. One or two made special trips
up from Bismarck. There the band
played in the High School Auditor
ium, perhaps the largest of its kind
in North Dakota, in spite of the fact
that there was. a Carnival in town
and baseball game between the city
team and a negro team from Cal
gary. The numbers on the program
were applauded 50 vigorously and
persistently that it was difficult for
the band to close the program. The
most hospitable entertainment was
accorded by the members of Rev. t
F. Gullixson's church. Minot is very
enthusiastic about the band and they
feel the same way toward Minot.
In Velva Prof. and Mrs. Sperat
were entertained at the home of DR.
Aaker, who is himself a composer o.
renown. He has composed music tina
has been played by the Symptom!
Orchestras of Minneapolis and Chi
cago. DR.. Aaker, himself a Luthe
College graduate, pronounced tn
band the best college band he hat
heard. Luther graduates every
where are proud of it.
