YAVKTON COUNTY
FRUIT PRODUCER
APPLE AND PLUM PRODUCT
ALONE RUNS TO MORE THAN
10000 BUSHELS EACH.

Yankton, Aug. 23-More than
10000 bushels of first grade apples,
produced in Yankton county in en-
cess of local needs, have been ship
ped out of the county so far this sea
son and probably half the surplus is
gone, according to figures CLEANED
from survey just made.
Apples and plums lead the list of
fruits produced in Yankton county,
with pears and peaches following
not far behind. This is not much of
a peach country yet, but pears of
the varieties developed by Prof. N
=. Hansen, of State college, are
proving as profitable and safe as ap-
pies in Yankton county.
Wealthy apples are the most suit
able and profitable here, it has been
found after years of experimenting,
but half a dozen varieties are pro-
duced here in large quantities. The
Yellow Transparent, which begins to
mature about the middle of July,
and the Duchess, which ripens

leaders. Picking of the Weaithies
usually starts about August 10, and
it is the most successful apple for
this section. 1t Is more productive

all apple uses.
There are some score of orchard
owners in Yankton county who are
making good profits on apples, it il
said, and the number is increasing
each year. Crab apples are equally
as profitable. 1t is said, and are
raised in abundance in the county

SUGGESTS SEVERAL
LAW CHANGES
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT LISTED
AMONG THE NUMBER.

Sioux Falls, Aug. Reinstate-
ment of capital punishment and
abolishment of the right of appeal
were urged by L. E. Waggoner,
states attorney for Minnehaha coun-
ty, at the annual convention of
county commissioners of South Da-
kota, held at Hot Springs last week.
Mr.. Waggoner also recommended the
appointment of a prosecuting attor-
ney for each judicial circuit and also
urged that a detective be named for
each county.
That capital punishment is much
more effective preventative of crime
than prison sentences was the asser-
tion of the speaker. A prison SEN
tence for a man who has already
served one term, holds little terror
for such convict, he continued.
The appeal should be a matter of
judicial discretion and it should be
granted by the supreme court, Mr..
Waggoner said. The speaker also
declared that all convicts be con-
fined pending an appeal as this
would tend to expedite this action.
The prosecuting attorney, as pro-
posed by Mr.. Waggoner, would be
an official who would be appointed
by the attorney general and who
would hold his office permanently.
This would enable each circuit to de-
velop a prosecutor who would be
able to cope with the trained and
efficient criminal lawyers. Under
the present system the average
states attorney holds office for a
brief ter mand does not obtain the
proper training for his position, he
continued.
Under Mr.. Waggoner's plan the
office of states attorney would be
retained, but would be made SUBJ
sidiary to that of county prosecutor.
He would handle the cases of minor
importance
Following the completion of his
address, Mr.. Waggoner was request
ed to put the contents of his address
in the form of a recommendation
The recommendation was passed
and the legislative committee was
INSTRUCTED to work for these meas
ures at the next session of the leg
islature.

CLAIMS QUAIL
MULTIPLYING
DIR. PARDEE GREENE, AFTER A
TRIP THRU COUNTY, Salts
FLED WITH SPORTSMEN'S
EFFORTS.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 23-Dr. Pardee
Greene, one of the real sportsmen of
Sioux Falls, took drive through
the county Sunday to investigate to
the best of his ability the success of
the efforts made last spring by a
number of Sioux Falls sportsmen to
once more stock this county with
young quail.
1t will be remembered that
through the contribution of the
sportsmen, money enough was raised
to purchase As pairs of quail which
were brought from Texas and liber-
ated in different parts of the county
DR.. Greene was one of those who
contributed to the purchase of the
quail and also distributed several
pairs. Sunday he interviewed farm
ers on whose lands the quail turned
over to him were liberated.
He was more than pleased with
the news of the success of the ven
ture, which he secured on all sides.
He found six covies which numbered
from IL to 16 in each ocvey, and
while he did not see any more covies
himself he found a number of farm
ers who claimed that there were
covies on their places.
Out of the 40 pairs of quail re-
leased If each brought out covey
of 10 birds that would mean 450
birds, a handsome start on the road
for building up quail in this county.
AS there is an indefinite closed
season on quail, If enforced and the
bridgs do as well as those of last
spring, 1T will not be long before the
country will have plenty of quail.
The closed season on quail is indef-
mite, and many of the local sports
men, aomng them DR.. Greene, are
in favor of retaining that section OF
the law and seeing to it that it il
rigidly enforced

Last Saturday Company H returnz
ed from their two weeks encamp-
ment at Edgewood Arsenal. With the
exception of mosquitoes and jiggers
Edgewood was a very attractive place
for a camp. All necessary conven-
fences and many amusements were
available. The work was not arduous;
the morning being devoted to instruc-
ton and drill, the afternoon to SUI
pervised athletics, and the evenings
free, with the exception of an occas-
ional parade or night maneuvre. The.
athletics included base ball, volley
ball. and swimming and while every
man was required to participate In
one of the above sports, yet this duty
was really a pleasure. ".sF
On Wednesday, August End, Generah
Pershing was present and reviewe6
the Brigade. His comment on the ap-
pearance of the troops and the review
were gratifying. The following day
Governor Richie and many notahles
were in camp. Another review was,
held and the remainder of the after
noon devoted to athletic and military
contests One of the events was con-
test beween picked squads from every
machine gun company in the Brigade,
six in all. Company H brought glory
on itself by winning the contest beat
ing the picked squad from the Fifth
Regiment so badly that they quit.
Special mention is due to Private
Medford T. Graham, the. gunner.
whose work as such was uneKcelled
and above criticism, and Lieutenant
Shiplev who coached the squad. A
beautiful silver loving cup was award
ed as a prize, and is trophy OF which
we can we'll be proud. Sergeant Nus
baum, working in the pitchers box,
was largely responsible for our vic
tory over Company G In base ball!
Taken altogether Company H made
itself quite a reputation which the CIT
-izens Of Westminster and the county
should not be slow to recognize. We are
gradually rounding out a well trained
body of Young men who will be ready
to meet any emergency at any time.
These men will be ready to protect
your homes and families should the
occasion arise and we want,t the people
to appreciate this fact and give the
Company their support. Visitors are
always welcome. Come around on
Monday nights, watch US drill and
give a word of encouragement.
