Drought Threatens Late Growing

Washington, Oct. 4.-Drought cOndi-
tions threaten serious damage In many
parts of the United States, according
to the weather and crop review of the
weather bureau, which reported that
not only were late growing crops ad-
verseIy affected, but the lack Of mois-
ture had slowed fall seeding. Warm
and sunshiny weather characterized
the week in most sections the review
stated, adding that 1t had been very
favorable for the maturity of many
grain crops.
Light rains fell along the Pacific
coast and in some sections along the
gulf, the review said, but continued:
drought conditions prevailed in
most other districts and there was in
sufficient moisture for the proper
growth OF vegetation. Pastures,
ranges, meadows and late truck crops
were unfavorably affected and mols-
ture was needed in many central and
southern states for the termination Of
fall sown seed. The ground was too
dry for plowing and seeding grains In
most sections. The drying weather OF
the last few weeks has practically ma
tured the corn crop in the corn belt.

GATHER IN WHEAT
Farmers Of Western Canada Re.
jolce at Harvest.
Largest Crop In the History Of thu
Fertile Provinces May 30 Con-
sIderej Assured.

Reports of Western Canada's wheat
crop, which may be considered fairly
accurate, as they are made at the
end Of the season, when the crop Is
fully harvested, would indicate a
yield Of between S50,0O0,0O0 and $40.
000. 900 bushels from Il total acreage
Of 2l,471, 600. This Is the greatest
yield In the history OF the provinces
Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta. This Immense yield has only
been harvested through the combined
energies Of all public bodles-rail-
ways and governments. 1t required
the assistance, outside Of that locally
employed, Of upward Of 10000 men.
These were brought: into the country
from the East, the West and the
South, by tralnloads. and rushed for
ward at express speed, to be placed in
the different districts. under the dlrec.
ton Of officials who were kept advised
daily, by wire, of the needs.
AS result Of this combined effort
the largest wheat crop in the history
Of the West was successfully harvest.

almost universally, In every section
Of the country, the grain graded high.
In very few places did rain interfere
with stacking. The province of Mani

time Of writing.
Portions Of Saskatchewan that had
suffered from drought for the past
two or three years reaped crop that
largely made up for past dlsappoint-
ments.
In Alberta there was a strange con-
dltion. In the central district, always
noted for its heavy yields, there was
considerable Of falling Off. Instead
Of the IS and 40 bushel yields the
average ran from 10 to u, while In
southern portions, where drought had
affected the country for some time
past. there were exceptionally high
yields.
Reports Of individual yields In diff
ferent portions Of the three provinces
lead to the impression that when

others 35, and so on. while In some
districts, where In enrly August not
more than 8 or 10 bushels might be
looked for, Is and 1S bushels are re-

brought about by rains that worked
marvels In the appearance Of the crop.

A MEMORABLE EASTER

Easter Sunday was a great day In
the history OF the churches of Brook
ingss. Attendance records were
broken and the services were never
more beautiful or impressive. The
spirit of the day seemed to seize hold
of the public consciousness and
bring them out to worship.
Special music and floral decorations
we're features of the services in each
church. An Easter cantata 1.-THE Last
Seven Words OF Christ" surprising
any ever heard before in the city, was
given in the afternoon at the Presby-
terrain church under the direction Of
Prof. II. l.. Kohler. The solo parts
were taken by Miss Helen Peddicord,
soprano; Lawrence Olson, tenor; Ar
thur M. Johnson, baritone, and Ger
hart Oyloe, bass. A special orchestra,
under the direction Of Prof. Carl Chris
Jensen, along with Prof. w. A. Peter
son at the pipe organ, furnished the
accompaniment.
The outstanding feature of the
Easter services at the Methodist
church was the baptism of 33 babies,
breaking all records in the history Of
the church. Water obtained from the
River Jordan in the Holy Land,
brought to Brookings by Bishop Nit
chell of st. Paul, Mimi, was used in
administering this sacrament. 1t was
also a great day for the Lutheran
church, the Baptist, the Episcopal, the
United Presbyterian, the st. Thomas
Catholic church, in fact all of the re-
ligious organizations Of the city shared
in the good things of the day and felt
the quickening Of Christian faith.

MATHEWS WINS, PARK LOSES

Nearly 1000 citizens visited the
polls Tuesday and expressed their de-
sires in the municipal election. The
question of the city purchasing the
fair grounds for a city park provoked
the greatest interest and was turned
down by the overwhelming vote of
$50 against to 234 in favor. Commits
sioner II. B. Mathews was reelected
for another term ove Fred Young
berg, the only opposing candidate, by
a vote of 557 to 364. Mathews carried
every ward in the city except the
third, where Youngberg received 1903
votes to 81 for Mathews.
A spirited election in Volga Tuesday
in which there were contests for
councilmen in every ward resulted in
the victory of Hillestad owe Eldridge
in the third ward: Torkelson over Will
liams in the second; Nelson over Car
YER in the first.
At Watertown, where the hottest
municipal campaign in the history OF
the city was waged and where thou
sands of dollars were spent in cam

President w. S. Hill reported on the
rust convention conference which he
attended at Washington at which con-
gress was asked to increase the APP
preparation to eradicate barberry
bushes from $147,OO to $500, 900. He
said the committee had recommended
an increase to only 5000, 900, but that
efforts were being made to get it
raised to the amount originally re-
quested. The farm bureau has since
received a wire to the effect that the
senate on Wednesday, by a vote Of
81 to 16, passed an amendment IN
creasing the barberry eradication item
again to $4,000 against the opposi-
ton Of the committee which recon-
mended $500, 900.
The report Of the federation secre-

MAYOR DECLARES
CLEAN Up WEEK
THOROUGH CLEANING CAMPAIGN
WILL BEGIN MONDAY,
APRIL "a
MUCH REPAIR AND PAINT IS NEEDED
Without a Park, B~rookings Must Make
Whole City Like Unto a
Beautiful Park

Know all men, women and children
by these presents:
That, Whereas the national clean
up and paint up campaign has resulted
in many advantages to community life
throughout the United State in reliev-
ing unemployment; in safeguarding
health; in promoting thrift; in further
ing fire prevention; in stimulating
civic pride and in making the Home
and City Beautiful"
Now, therefore, be it known that
plans have been perfected for o thor
ough clean up and paint up campaign
in Bookings, beginning next Monday,
and continuing in a real campaign of
persistent and constructive effort in
cleaning up and keeping it up. In this
worthy movement we urge each citizen
to do his or her part to make our COM
munity clean, healthy, thrifty, safe and
beautiful.
Mayor r. l.. Flittie announces the
annual spring clean up campaign for
Bookings next week April "a to 20.
For four years in ~Brookings we have
done the minimum amount of repair
work. There has been a dearth of
labor and the cost of painting, plumb
ing, carpenter work and other labor
necessary to keep private properties
in first class condition has discouraged
property owners from doing all the
work in this direction that was need
full.
Now that the cost of such work has
come down to nor nearly a normal
basis, the people of the city should
adopt the coming month as a general
repair month. The weather will be
favorable, the costs will not be high
and this policy would put practically
all Of our unemployed at work.
