Is PERCENT ACREAGE
REDUCTION Will Be
ASKED next Year
Contracts to Run for Four
Years, Through 1889
Crops

The new wheat adjustment on
tracts which will be offered this fall
in response to the May rs referen-
dun, will ask for a Is percent acre
age reduction in 1886, according to
Chester C. Davis, Administrator of
the AAA. The new contracts will
run tor four years, through the 1889
crop year. After 1886, reductions
will be not more than Is percent.
Contracts will be subject to ter
mination at the end OF any year by
the Secretary of Agriculture and any
grower has the option Of withdrawal
at the end OF the first two-year per-
Tod.
Neither adverse court decisions
o other court attacks on the tax
should Il farmers any hesitancy
about signing the new contract. Mr..
Davis said In his announcement. He
explained that the new amendments
passed by both the Senate and
House specifically enact the rates
Of processing tax thus meeting fully
the question OF delegation Of legisla-
tive power, which was decisive In
every instance In which the lower
courts held the processing tax pro-
visions in the original Act unconsti-
tutional.
Another reason Is the provision In
the new contract permitting termin-
alton by the Secretay at the end OF
any year and allowing grower with
drawal at the end OF two.
"Even II an adverse decision by
the Supreme Court should material
lie at some future time" Mr. Davis
said, "the contract In It's present
form is admirably devised to pro-
tect both the farmers and the gov.
eminent.
1.-THE government would have both
q moral and a legal obligation to
compensate farmers fully for per
Torrance up to the date OF such de-
cision. The government, in fairness
and honesty, would pay, and legally
would be bound to pay In full, fof
their compliance up to chat time, but
not beyond that time"

HAIL STORM HITS.
SOUTHWEST SECTION
SHERIDAN COUNTY
Losses Are 100 Percent For
Some Farmers; Covered
Is Mile Strip

A devastating hail storm covering
a strip about 8 miles wide and rs
miles long obliterated crops In the
southwest aud south sections OF
Sheridan county Thursday afternoon
and with it went hopes of farmers
who had prospects Of harvesting the
first normal crops In years.
A survey of the territory hit by
the deluge OF ice showed losses rang
ing from 10 to 100 percent. Many
waving fields of grain Thursday
morning would not even produce
feed or straw Thursday afternoon.
Farmers In the territory laid waste
we're preparing to get into the fields
to harvest the many b%ounteous
stands. The storm was freaklsh,
forming near the Ole Risa farm in
Roosevelt county lear 500. Whipped
by a terrific gale the hailstones,
which were small pelted in a north
easterly direction through portions
Of the Wolf Creek community, with
in three miles OF Plentywood. They
also fell In the Dooley vicinity doing
some damage.
Farmers In the south Wolf Creek
community reporting almost total
losses include: E. e. Ross, Zeb
Garneau and Wm. Ertner. Many
farmers in the Welliver country suf-
fered losses from 10 to 100 percent.
Farmers nit hard In that section In
cluded the extensive GOlterman
farm and R. A. P~alut7ke, who SUI
fered a total loss OF splendid wheat
fields.
A few hail stones fell in Plenty
wood but did no damage. However,
west OF PlentywoOd and north, wheat
fields were damaged by the ice pei
lets. A. e. Wolfe OF west Of Plen-
tywood reported a SO percent loss,
while portions OF the C. F. McNulty
fields west of the city were damaged
considerable. Fremont Nelson, liv
ing south Of Plentywood suffered
losses ranging from Is to 40 per
cent, while at the Henry Smith farm
south OF the city, the damage was
also considerable.
Wheat fields at the Walk0wskl
farm just north OF the city were
damaged.
A fine corn field at the Selmer
| Johnson farm west OF the city was
| reduced to fodder, the leaves were
| stripped from the stocks. A cloud
burst fell In that section.
Many other farmers in the south
| Plentywood, Welliver and Vol
| Creek communities suffered losses.
A chcck-up reveals that but few
! farmers carried insurance and the
exact loss would be difficult to es
innate.

COMBINES FOLLOW
BINDERS TO fields
OF RIPENED GRAIN
Rust Continues To Damage
Wheat in Sections of
County

With warm weather prevailing
throughout the past week, combines
were following binders into fields of
ripened grain throughout the county.
The latest section of the county to
ripen Is that along the 500 line from
Outlook TO Westby, although some OF
these fields were reported ready to
cut. In this latest grain too seemed
to be the most damage from rust, al.
though weather of this week had
been favorable to checking further
damage.
Local grain elevators had not yet
received any of the new grain. Scat
tered reports of early yields from
combining were following quite gen
orally early predictions. In the vic.
Unity of H0mestead~Wbere less mois-
ture had been T6cefVed. yields were
running from 8 to Is bushels. The
first grain delivered to a Westby ele-
vator from a combined field south OF
town on the Dakota side had yielded
Is bushels and tested number 2.
Much difference of opinion was ex.
pressed by those having inspected
crops in this section as to how much
rust infection would reduce yields.
Some claim the damage will be
heavy, in some spots cutting the yield
from 40 to so percent. Others how
ever, say this figure is entirely too
Highland that the rust in no section
Of the county will show more than 20
percent damage and in more favor
able parts yields will be as high as
80 bushels.
Another week will begin to tell
the story, as combined crops reach
elevators. 1t was still known that the
best crops in the county were along
the 500 line through the entire coun-
ty, the Antelope and Reserve corn.
try and in the southeastern section
The lightest yields seemed to show
In the Medicine Lake and Homestead
areas.
AS prices continued an upward
trend throughout the week, farmers
1were confidently looking forward to
selling their crops aiove the dollar

An Editorial
A NEW u u

In seeking to reach an honest opinion and
conclusion regarding the proposal that a new
court house be Constructed for Sheridan county,
every taxpayer should approach the question
open mindedy and honestly. The forming of a
final opinion should be based, not on personal
or community jealousies, but on practical and
sound reasoning of what would best serve the
taxpayers and residents of the county as a
whole.
To reach a practical conclusion, three basic
factors must be considered: Does Sheridan
county need a new court housep Does the pres
emit financial condition of the county permit ad-
ditional bonding for such construction And,
finally, would the possibility of securing a por-
ton of the expense through agencies OF the fed
eral government offer sufficient inducement
and ultimate savings in cost to justify going
ahead with building NOWa
Answer to the first question should be self
evident. Hardly any taxpayer will take issue
with those who would endeavor to show the &C.
tual need of a new county administration build
ing. In the first place, besides being a hodge
podge of poorly constructed frame buildings, ar
ranged with no possible thought Of practicable
ity or permanent service in mind, a large por-
ton of the property does not even belong to the
county. The present court house had its begin
ming in an abandoned city school building. The
P~lentywood school district is paid 81 .025 a year
rent for the gounds and the use of the original
building.
Offices have of course long since out
grown the original space provided and it has
been necessary from time to time to add more
room. This has been at county expense but
only to add more temporary structures to the al
ready dilapidated group. Expensive vaults

FLAXV|LLE Man Is
KILLED In MISHAP

Frank PoOler, 70, for many years
a resident of Faxvflle, was killed
Saturday evening about 1890 when
the a he was driving plunged off
the grade approaching the PREACHER
GUS second bridge about two miles
west OF Redstone.
PoOler was found pinned under
the car, a model T Ford, by VIM.
Hackman, who was enroute to Red
stone from Taxville. Pooler was
dead. The car fell on his chest
and caused fatal injuries. 1t Is be-
lieved that the accident occurred alb
out a half hour before Mr.. Hackmaa
found the tangled wreck.
Mr.. Pooler was returning to Flax
Vile after having been at Minot. 1t
is stated that he was a cautious
driver, but In view Of his advanced
age was inflicted with poor eyesight.
He had apparently safely made the
right angle turn before coming onto
the bridge. The car followed the
edge Of the grade until reaching the
bridge, then plunged over the right
hand side. The a tracks indicat.
ed that the left front wheel struck
the right guard rail Of the bridge.
The accident Saturday evening ia
the third fatal mishap to occur at
the same spot. The narrow grade
and sharp turn makes the road ex-
tremely dangerous.
The dead man homesteaded near
Medicine Lake about rs years ago
and for the past 20 years lived in
F1axvihe community. The body
was shipped to Medicine Lake fox
burial and was inferred there Wed
