HIGH WATER UNcovERs COAL

The task of mining Ignite coal in
this section nearly always envolves a
lot of good hard labor in uncovering
the coal but the flood or high waters
in the streams last week did a lot
of good in this respect.
At several points along the Red
water stream the high waters washed
out and uncovered tons and tons of
good Ignite coal and in some places
carried the coal out and left it strand
ed along the river where it was mere
ly matter of going out and loading
it up and hauling it home.
Quite a number of farmers got
busy Immediately to take advantage
of this unusual opportunity to put in
a supply of coal and thus save them
selves lot of hard work by getting
it now. Furthermore the coal would
naturally get slack and go to waste
if not taken care of.-Circle Banner.

CROPS PROJECT LEADER
WRITES TO FARMERS
Farm Bureau News)

As / have been chosen crops pro-
ject leader of Roosevelt county, /
wish to state to the farm bureau
members that I am very busy at home
and cannot put as much of my time
to this work as I would like to. AL
though I am going to do all | can
to carry on this work as | know there
is need of great improvement in our
farming. 1t is too late to do much
for this crop but it will soon be time
to start on the next one.
The two most important projects
to be carried out are breeding up
our seed supply and weed control.
1t is more urgent now than ever since
we are about to enter the new mar
keting plan that we raise pure and
clean grain so that when we conslgn
the first train load of wheat from
Roosevelt county to the United States
marketing corporation it will satisfy
the most particular miller.
The millers discriminate more and
more every day against low grade
and mixed wheat. At the time this
is written, MAY 25) fancy Canadian
wheat is selling at a premium of 44c
and 46c over May contract wheat in
Minneapolis.
Roosevelt county can raise just as
good milling wheat as can any other
place in the world if we only breed
up our seed stocks. We have been
educated to breed up our livestock
but some of us cannot afford to buy
purebred animals. However, the cost
of starting with pure seed is such a
trife that we cannot afford not to
breed up our grain crops.
Very truly,
(Signed) Earl Coin.

BODY OF FLOOD VICTIM
FOUND in WATER HOLE

The body of Walter Hagen, who
was drowned in the flood last week,
was found Sunday forenoon about IL
o'clock after a continued search of
nearly week. The body was found
in deep water hole on Stilson coulee
only about 40 rods from the Hagen
home, on the Andrew Kirgegaard
place, by Carl Voss and Aug. Meyers.
When first noticed they only saw the
back part of his head sticking out of
the water. He was in water hole
about 6 feet across and 80 feet long
and Is feet deep.
The authorities at Glendive were
notified and Sunday evening he was
taken out of the water hole by the
coroner, Mr.. Taylor, assisted by dep
uty sheriff Elmer Martinson and un-
dertaker Lowe. Others present were:
Carl Voss, Aug. Meyers, Fred Nal
kuch, VIM Larson, Mr.. Thompson,

The remains were taken to Glen
dive and prepared for shipment to the
old home in S. Dakota. The remains
when found, we understand, were not
recognizable, but was identified by
the clothes he had worn.
1t was indeed fortunate that the
were finally found, which
certainly will be a great relief to the
5orrowing relatives Banner.

EMPLOYMENT FOR CHILDREN
Must Have Certificates When Elm.
 ployfng Children.

Little Rock, June 28.-(SpeciaD- Employers are urged to comply with the law governing employment of children in this state," says Commis- sioner of Labor T. A. Wilson, mot only because the law should be obey ed, but further for their own protec- tion and the protection of the child. The federal taxing law on child labor and the state law are identical in re- gulatory provisions-the state statute a penal measure and the federal law a taxing measure. The federal law places tax on the earnings of all manufacturing plants and workshops where children are employed in viola tion of the provisions of the law. The Bureau of Labor, State Capitol, Little Rock, will give detailed information to employers relative to the child labor, and in fact, any law relative to labor, upon request; and will furnish en- ployment certificates for children up- on request; provided, the child is over 14 years of age, and it is unlawful for any child under IA to be employed at any time."

First Car of Peaches Bring
 S2.OO Per BuShel at Car

Nashville, July 2-The peach crop of this section has already begun to move, but the first car of the season having been shipped yesterday. Pick ing was started Thursday and the first car was almost loaded that day.
 These peaches came from the small Ter orchards of this immediate section, and were sold at the tracks in this city, bringing the growers $2 per hushel at the cars. A majority of the small orchardists have sold their en- t,re crop at this price. This is an exceptionally good price when it is taken into consideration that the en- tire crop is sold at this price, and that the later peaches will not fall off to almost nothing.
 There has been no shipments from the Bert Johnson orchards as yet. MT Johnson stating that he does not in- tend starting shipments until July II It is not thought the shipments will be very heavy before July 15.
 Cantaloupes will begin moving from this city within few days now, and the harvesting and marketing of the two crops will keep large forces of men at work, both at the local pack ing shed and on the farms.

TO AID COTTON GROWERS
Southern Senator's Seeking Method to
 Extend Credits to Banks,

Washington, June 23-Methods of affording relief to the cotton grow CTS of the South were considered at a meeting today of senators from the Southern states with Secretaries Wal lace and Hoover.
 The situation confronting the cot ton growers was canvassed from all angles and it was agreed that some means of relief must be attempted im- mediately. The two cabinet members agreed to the suggestion by the South ern senators that means be found to enable banks to make an extension on the cotton paper now held and also to place additional credit at the hands of the growers. General opinion was favorable to consideration of the plight of the cotton growers immedia- tely the situation facing the cattle growers of the West having been allev- iaated It was not believed that addi- tional legislation would be necessary and it was thought that action by Con- gress should be avoided in the interest of speed.
 Another conference will be called soon to work out definite plans to af. ford the necessary relief.

60 PER CENT REDUCTION
Only 6O,OOO Acres of Cotton Planted
 in Phillips County.

Helena, June 30.-At a meeting of the Agricultural Committee of the Chamber of Commerce today reports made by township chairman, who have investigated the situation for 30 days, showed that of the 15O,OOO acres of tillable land in the county only 60,- 900 acres have been planted to cotton this year, reduction of 60 per cent of the total acreage, or a reduction of 40 per cent. The remainder of the land either is planted to feed and food crops or left fallow.
 A movement was also set on foot to enlarge the Strawberry Associa- tion Committee to include county producers association, with the view to secure the planting of more pro- duce for the local and other markets.
 It was said that spring chickens sold here recently at prices varying from 65 cents to S5 cents. One negro woman sold a dozen chickens for ST., or 60 cents apiece. The committee thinks organization of an association will serve to stabilize the price of pro- duce, guaranteeing to the farmer a fair profit and to the consumer a req sonable return for money spent.
