MULCHING STRAWBERRIES
EARLY MAY CAUSE HEAVING

Brookings, S. D.-Not until the
ground is frozen enough to hold mp
a team and wagon should heavy
mulch be applied to the strawberry
bed, under South Dakota conditions,
suggests A. l.. Ford, extension spec
ialist in horticulture at State Co
lcge. A light mulch supplied before
the ground freezes may aid III pre-,
venting fall heaving, but this is IN
unimportant factor under conditions
prevailing in this state, he says. 1t
is late winter and early spring hear-
ing that usually does the damage.
South Dakota Strawberries should
be mulched during the winter months,
not to protect plants from low temp
eratures but rather to eliminate alter
nate freezing and thawing of the soil
which will cause the roots to be torn
loose and the plants TO De pushed up
ward. During some winters straw
berries come through in excellent
shape without mulching, but often a
large percentage Of the plants are
killed. Because Of this, every owner
of a good healthy strawberry patch
should mulch every winter and avoid
chances of his plants being killed
out. Heavy mulching III early fall,
however, may tend to encourage the
very thing to be guarded against,
namely, heaving.
Good clean straw, free from chaff,
makes an excellent mulch. Corn
stalks overlaid by straw is also good.
The mulch should be three or four
inches deep after it has settled. 1t
is not advisable to use fine material
for mulch, as this may smother the
plants.

PRECINCT PROPOSALMEN
WILL BE ELECTED TUESDAY

Next Tuesday, November 13, is the
date for holding the precinct proposal
election in each voting precinct in the
state, at which time three proposal
&en and a precinct committeeman
will be chosen. This is really the
most important of all the many pro-
posal meetings and elections to be
held between now and the November,
1924, election. The men selected on
next Tuesday will first meet at the
county seat on November 20, and
name three proposalmen to attend the
state proposal meeting to be held at
Pierre, December 4, al which time the
state, congressional and senatorial
candidates will be proposed. Then the
county proposalmen will meet at the
county seat again on December 26 to
ratliy the action of the state proposal
men and also to propose candidates
Tor county Office to be voted for at
The primary election. 1t appears to
rs that the meeting next Tuesday is
Of most vital Importance, and every
voter should turn out and see to it
that good men are chosen to represent
their precinct in this very important
pest of county proposalmcn.
There are number of candidates
for governor and senator in the repub-
hcan camp, and the state proposal
meeting at Pierre on December 4
promises to be quite a battle ground
Tor the numerous aspirants for pub
lie favor. There has also been some
stir in county political circles aod the
prospects are that there will DC ~
dearth OF candidates for county Offices
when the proposalmen meet at White
River on December 26 to name the
county ticket.
Most of the stir at present seems to
be III the republican camp, while the
democrats seem to be playing wait
ing game to see what the pgblicans'
are getting ready to do.
BE sure and attend the precinct pro-
posal election next Tuesday.

Red Gross Nurse Visits Wood Schools

County superintendent Of Schools
Helen M. Fridy, accompanied by
Marie Kendall, the nurse sent out by
the South Dakota Public Health asso-
citation visited the Wood schools,
edncsday afternoon, and examined
the children as to their general
health. Nothing very serious was
found wrong with the children of the
Wood schools, with the exception of
heir vision, which is partially being
impaired by the rather poor and in
flicient lighting system Of the school
rooms. Miss Kendall informed us
that at present an epidemic of Dip
iberia is breaking out among the
,hildren Of the state and she rccomr
nends that the mothers of the child
on Of this community see to it that
the children galgle with a salt water
solution every morning as a prevent
ltive Of the disease She also said
hat rash Is breaking out among the
.hildren in some OF The schools of this
county, which resembles measles or
hickcn pox.
Miss Kendall's visit to the county
was brought about through the sale
IF Christmas seals last year, and while
her stay here this year was limited to
en- days, she hopes that the seal sale
the coming holiday season will be
large enough so that the county will
be entitled to a public health nurse
for at least thirty days next year.

MELLETTE COUNTY GROWS
MILLION.BUSHEL CORN CROP

Corn is king in Mellette county in
the year 1923, and this years crop
is conservatively estimated at $780,
200 bushels. There were planted last
spring 24,9S0 acres to corn in this
county and it is yielding all the way
from 30 to 90 bushels per acre, ac-
cordlng to reports coming to this OF
flee. All the corn is we'll matured and
is OF exceptionally good quality
In making our estimate we have
figured the average corn yield in the
county at 40 bushels per acre, and
this is certainly conservative esti
mate of the average Weld. The crop
is worth about 80 cents per bushel
on the farm right now, SO the corn
grown III Mellette county is worth
1919, ,60O.OO-mOre than Il half million
dollars, 60 net return for every acre
planted to corn of $40 per acre, which
in practically every instance would
pay for the land it grew on. In 1919
Mellette county had bat l2,G4l acres
planted to corn, the 1923 acreage
shows a net increase OF 976 per cent.
When Mellette county is assured OF
proper railroad transportation this
acreage will be increased at least five
fold within a year and our annual
corn production will be near the
5000, 900 bushel mark annually, be-
sides our other crops OF small grains;
alfalfa, alfalfa seed, hay, poultry,
hogs and dairy products will also show
q marked increase. Mellette county
needs more real honest-to-gosh farm
ers, and we also need a railroad or
two, and either one will bring the
other We must all strive to increase
our farm population and at the same
time keep pegging away at trying to
induce the railroad people to build us
a railroad out this way, and by pre-
severance and plenty of pep we are
finally going to accomplish a great
deal and attain the goal we are seek
ing.

DAY ADVOCATES
BOND ISSUE TO PAY
COUNTY WARRANTS
Dear Mr.. Kirch:


note your article of the 2nd inst
IN the Pioneer on county finances.
The condition depicted is one that
heavily handicaps the prosperity of
the county.
tlrst-that it is impossible to get
the county work done with a reason
able degree of economy, when paid for
with warrants that have to be sold at
heavy discount.
Second-that the showing acts as a
serious handicap to the development
OF the ecounty by discouraging immi-
grafton to the county by people who
would wish to improve and develop
It's vacant lands, and creates condi-
ton that tends to reduce the value Of
the lands already under cultivation.
AS to the remedy-it would seem in
the first place necessary to persuade
the county commissioners to balance
their budget and keep the expense Of
the county enough below its receipts
70 leave balance, however small. for
the reduction of the debt. Such ac-
ton may seem drastic, but the finan-
cial condition Of the county makes it
imperative.
Next, to vote an issue of bends to
pay outstanding warrants. If not an
amount large enough to take up the
whole of the outstanding indebted
ness, then for such an amount as can
be floated.
1t would seem as though at least
part Of the $63,00000 now on hand
should be applied to reduce the debt
of the county. | believe that "strict
economy" (if anyone remembers the
meaning of the term) coupled with
careful and businesslike management
will put ouls counts dp its financial
feet again and make the srm of pros
perity shine over the community once
more. Yours,
II. G. Day.

The Holly chieftain., 1923-06-07

There are many ways in which the
ordinary type Of telephone transmitter
or microphone may be used along with
ones regular radio apparatus. It is
possible to set up very simple tele-
phone circuit between two neighboring
houses or to put these microphones
into service for relaying radio broad
casting over wire to friends house.
A few suggestions are given in the
accompanying sketch for hooking up
microphones with other radio appara-
tus which the fan will recognize as
legal. The simplest form Of straight
away phone circuit Is shown on the
top. 1t will be noted that two micro
phones. two sets of radio headphones
and three or four dry batteries are
connected In series. Between the two
is run connecting wire which need
not necessarily be Of copper. Ordl-
nary galvanized iron wire can be sub
stituted with equal success, provided
there is no actual contact with the
ground. The return Is by means Of
the water supply system, thereby ef
LecllHS an economy IN wire.
The objection to such method is
that the battery is used continuously
unless switch is inserted to discon-
meet It. Then 1t becomes Impossible
to talk to the other station without
sending notice beforehand. A some
what better circuit is suggested and 1t
will be noted that there is battery
at each station. #
A point to be called to attention is
that the batteries are connected In
opposition. There Is very good rea-
son for this. When the microphone
at one end is spoken into the fluctu-
ating current travels not only through
the telephone head set located there.
but also through the line and ground

Mounting Of Panels
on Aluminium Angles

Amateurs often experience difficulty
In mounting unit panels. The usual
way to mount them is on large board
with spaces cut out for each panel.
but this is very troublesome. and every
time a new panel is to be added a
new board must be made. BY mount
Ing them on aluminium angles neat
job will result. and when another
panel is added the old ones are left
intact.
This angle can be purchased for
about ten cents foot. Use angle
three-Quarters inch wide by one-eighth
inch thick. Make panels AZ inches
square and mount three In row, 80

circuit is new apparently on the sur
face, 1t is but combination of vari.
GUS developments and ideas that have
been presented In the past and due
credit should be given to the origi.
nator for the time and patience re.
quired In developing it to practical
stage.
Undoubtedly the circuit affords un.
limited possibilities of still further de-
velopment along this line and 1t is
quite apparent that more will be heard
from 1t from time to time.
