THE DAY THAT NEVER DIES

No day OF the Christian calendar
is on a par with that Of Christmas,
but next to it the Fourth of July is
the one most indelibly fixed in the
minds Of all American people
1t signifies liberty, and liberty is
our most cherished inheritance, be-
queathcd to us by our sturdy fore
fathers and maintained by our own
strength and determination
July 4th is a great day for flag
waving, speech making, and general
.jollificat ion. 1t is our method of sig
nifying our undiminished admiration
Of and gratitude to the heroes of 177d
who won impcrishable fame by free
ing our struggling colonies from the
oppressive rule of a foreign king.
Great events of history have become
dim in the minds of men as time flies
on. but independence Day remains
ever green in memory and the deeds
of its creators never die.
Attention, Americans.
Right hand, salute.

Dig Barberries Now and Save the
Wheat From Black Stem Rust

Common barberry bushes in this
section are now rusting. The rust
which affects the barberry now is the
parent rust of the black stem rust
which will be attacking the wheat,
oats, barley and rye later on. The
best way to insure from the rust on
the grain is to destroy the barberry
now, by digging and burning them.
Black stem rust has been called the
"wheat man s burden on account OF
the serious losses which the grain
suffers from this rust. In 1916 $780,
100000 bushels OF wheat were de-
stroyed by the black stem rust in the
United States, while the survey for
1921 shows a loss Of 22,S00,0OO bush
els. The average annual loss Of the
four grains named in thirteen north
ern wneat growing states from 1917 to
1920 was 44,257, $50 bushels. The
eradication Of the barberry means
the practical elimination of these
large losses.
I Once seen the barberry is easily
recognized. Samples OF the plant are
on display in the county agent S Office.

NEWER AND SHORTER ROUTE
TO BLACK HILLS AND PARKS

The opening of the new steel bridge
across the Big White river south of
BcNidcre and the improving Of the
road from Cedalbutte to this bridge
is surely going to pat Mellette county
On the good roads map.
Travel from the eastern part Of the
country can now be diverted at Win
ncr through Witten, Wood and White
River. through Cedarbutte to Belvi-
dcre where connections are made with
the Custer Battlefield Highway. This
new road from Winner to Belvidere
marks the completion Of 100 miles Of
as good dirt road as there is in the
state and is by far the shortest OF
any other existing route from the
points mentioned to the Black Hills
or Yellowstone or Glacier National
parks, a saving Of over % miles alone
being affected by this new route
Omaha is recognized as one of the
leading tourist centers Of the country
and as very large per cent of this
travel is either to the Black Hills or
Yellowstone or Glacier parks, an eff
fort should be made by the towns men
toned above to acquaint tourists at
Omaha with the fact that the shortest
route to these points is through VIM
ner and across Mellette county to Bel
videre, thence west on the Custer
Battlefield HiWay. Another factor
that does not want to be overlooked
is the opening of the new bridge
shortly, across the Missouri river at
Yankton This bridge is going to be
the means of bringing thousands OF
cars through this territory and proper
steps should be taken to see that
travellers are properly informed on
this point.
We have in Mellotte county every
thing that appeals to the person
travelling by auto. Good roads, fine
camping grounds, good garages, real
people and some Of the most inter
esting and beautiful scenery in the
country These things, coupled with
the fact that the road mentioned saves
a good many miles in days travel,
are practical facts that will appeal to
the tourist, and as stated before, it is
up to the towns mentioned to acquaint
the tOurisS with the many ADVANTAGES
of this route over any other and see
that they are properly cared for when
they do come through.-Beckwith' s

Grasshopper Control Work Begins
A. S. Gray, County A.

Poisoned bran mash will be scat
tered over land where infestations OF
grasshopers occur. Last year in some
sections grasshoppers considerably
damaged the seed alfalfa and some
Of the small grain.
Poisoned bran mash can not be
given out in small quantities like
prairie dog poison is being distrib-
uted on account of the fact that the
poison should be spread upon the
ground as soon as it is mixed.
The plan to be followed viii be to
have farmers ins sinfest91 mum.
ties cooperate together, send in the
order for the combined amount of poi
son they will need, mix all the poison
at one central place and then each
man oct his poison and scatter it.
Six farmers on the Cottonwood are
getting lined up to put out poison
soon. Most Of them have left uncut
strips through their alfalfa fields and
on these strips they will put the poi
son.
It is not necessary to poison the en-
tire field in order to get the grass
hoppcrs but by poisoning intermit-
tent strips of land through the field
the hoppers are easily controlled.
Preliminary figures estimate that
the poison can be put out in large
lots at less than four cents a pound.
Ten pounds will do from one to two
acres of land. Any persons interested
should get in touch with the county
agent and get lined up.

BELVIDERE BOOSTERS
VISIT WOOD MONDAY

Monday afternoon about ! 80 some
eight ears of Belvidere boosters, ac-
companied by their l4-piece band, ar
rived in Wood, rendered a few seec-
tions on Main street and distributed
a few sOuveniers and literature among
those on Main street. Wood had Just
about two hours notice of the boosters
coming. There were other cars carry
ING boosters from White River, Cedar
butte and Norris. These boosters
were out to advertise Belvidere, and
especially the big new Bridge Celebra-
ton which is to be held July at
the new stceel bridge that spans Big
White river south Of Belvidere.
There were in all about fourteen cars
in the caravan when they struck
Wood, carrying about A bosters, in
Guiding the band. They were on a
twO-day tour and their original timer
airy included stops at Cedarbutte,
White River, Mission and Rosebud
the first day, with an overnight stop
at Rosebud. But as they were about
two hours ahead Of their schedule
when they got to White River they
phoned us they were coming to Wood,
and from here they went to Mission
via Okreek, thus including two extra
stops in their first day out.
Among the notables on this trip
we might mention the Commissioner
of immigration, Mr. Aldrich, who told
us the crops in this territory certain
ly did look fine. He also acted in the
capacity Of official photographer.
County Commissioner J. w. Beckwith,
that live-wire merchant of Cedarbutte,
County Highway Superintendent F. /.
Terpin, and then a number of the
leading business men of Belvidere.
They were good live bunch, and
were good boosters. Besides boosting
the new bridge celebration they were
also boosting the Memorial highway as
the most direct and shortest route
to the Black Hills, and it is their OBJ
ject to advertise the fact that this
route will save the tourist some 25 or
so miles, besides giving them a short
cut over mighty good well-kept road

little folks were enjoying themselves
playing around the barn. Little Dor

been injured. However the little Miss
