The following Is the weathe. crop re-
port iar South Dakota for week ending
april 10, as predicted by S. W.. Glenn,
Weather Bureau Director, S. D.:
The winter of 1928 was about en-
average one, and with the exception Of
a few days the latter part ofJanuary and
the first decade OF February, the wealth
er was not severe, and all farming and
stock interests came into the spring
with bright prospects. Most of the snow
that fell was crusted or wholly melted
by frequent mild periods, thus retaining
the moisture where it fell and causing
the distribution to be unusually uDIform
over the state.
Range live stock comes into the saring
IN unusually fine condition, the average
loss being reported at only about one
per cent. A great deal of the winter the
range grass was uncovered.
Crop correspondents, generally, re-
port that the ground was probably never
in better condition in point oil moisture
than it now is, and with favorsb Bile
temperature conditions, prompt germ
ination of seed is insured.
Daring the past week seeding of oats
and wheat WAS begun IN the northern
part of the state, and is general in the
southern portion. The season is, how
ever, from ten to fifteen days later than
usual. Considerable low ground is still
too wet to be seeded, but uplands are in
fine condition. The frost is generally
out OF the ground L a considerable
depth.
Altogether seeding and crop prospects
are excellent.

Our advice to farmers is, don't
SOW a very large acreage of wheas
this spring. Late adyices from In
dia and Russia, the two leading
grain competitors Of the q lied
States, report the wheat crop in
those country as exceedingly favor
able. This means a large yield and
coFrespondingly low prices, for not
so much American grain win be de-
manded upon the foreign markets
In view of this fact the wise far
mers will not seed too extensively
of wheat.
Diversity your crops. Cattle are
on the up grade and will command
good prices before another year.
Hogs have been gilt edged in price
the past winter and will still CON
tinue to prove a paying investment.
Sheep are always in demand and
are good money makers. Flax pays
well. Corn is king when put into
hogs. Batter viii be IN br * ie-
mand at good prices this summer,
and poultry will be worth then
weight in gold.
Therefore, don't sew all OF your
land to wheat, but try a little OF
everything that offers a ready ms
ket at paying prices and see if you
don't come out far ahead in the
fal!.-Pubiie Opinion.

GOOD ROADS.

The New York legislature has
passed a law which was promptly
signed by Gov. Flower, giving the
supervisors power to designate GER
tain roads as county roads, and APP
point an engineer to superintend
their building, whose term of office
shall be three years unless sooner
removed. Another provision is
for collecting road taxes in cash and
not allowing each man to work
everywhere unfortunately, which
naturally works harm to the roads
Of nearly every community. County
supervisors may issue bonds which
shall not bear more than five per
cent. interest nor sold at less than
par.
The Scientific American in COM
msn upon the art, says there is
another class who believe a system
OF electric roads could be
built on nearly all the roads and
each farmer own his own private
car; going to market when he
pleased and at a speed Of twenty to
thirty miles an hour.
Under such q system the mama
features of the country would be
scattered throughout the country,
instead Of being concentrated In
few large cities, bringing mar
kets nearer hnme.

The Roscoe Herald prints a letter
from one G.. FL. Newton, who re
moved from that place to Yorkton,
N. w. T., Canada, upon the repre-
sensations of a boomer that the
country was way ahead of this, but
he gives it another aspect. He
says:

and put in wheat and oats. The
wheat threshed ont Is bushels per
acre and the oats Is, and this is
considered an average crsp. The
year previous oats threshed ont
from so tors bushels per acre, but
tie wheat was frozen and scores of
acres was not cut.

butter making than they can do
here. Since we came here we have
not sold any butter until about the
middle of November. All last

cents per pound in trade but could
find no market until in November,
when we sold packed butter for Is
cents, and lost our tubs at that: one
lot we sold at 16 cents. We did
not make much Of it last year, ow-
ing, think, to the scarcity of
water. 1t is as hard to get good

Dakota. The lake water here is

Minnesota summer Carnival.

1t is now aeanately settled that
Minnesota will have an attrac on
to offer TO the thousands of visitors
from other countries this summer,
which will beyond a doubt bring a
large percentage of the tourists to
this state. This is nothing less than
a forty day carnival of sports, which
will include about every line of
amateur sport now popular. The
organization was effected only three
weeks ago, but since that time all
the necessary committees have been
appointed, and the work on the
various branches Of the carnival is
being pushed as rapidly as possible.
Arrangements are being made to
hold each tournament on separate
dates, having so many days for
Tennis, Lacrosse, Polo, Athletic
Games, Yachting, Bicycling and
yarious other branches OF sport. As
to Yachting, there are already a
large number of foreign application

A COSTLY EXPERIMENT.

Opponents OF the administration have
been making great deal of noise over
the non-snforcement of the Geary law,
for the deportation Of Chinese laborers in
the United States who nave failed to COM
ply with the provisions Of that law re-
curing their registration. Anti-Cleve-
land papers have taken occasion to vent
their fury against the President, and have
denounced him as dictator, usurper,
defer of the laws, with foauy other
equally pleasing appellations, and have
called for his impeachment as s'null1-
fier.n
The facts are that the administration
has pursued a conservative course on this
delicate matter, which is displeaslng to
the rabid haters of the Chinese, and has
given an opportunity for others who care
little about the main question, to raise
hubbub against the President and his
party. Orders were given to deport such
Cinnamon as the courts had declared sub
ject to that penalty. but no wholesale ex-
pulsion has been attempted as the anti
Chinese radicals desired.
LIE PROBABILITY OF cnduBS III bHe Id ~
has had something to do with the eau
tious course of the administration, and
every reasonable person who places full
value upon the treaties OF this govern
ment with foreign nations, will recognize
the Importance of prudent action in this
important matter. There is another fea-
ture of the case that ought to be consid-
cred. The cost of executing the law as it
now stands will be immense, and there
are not funds at the disposal of the Treas
ury department for the purpose Of any
thing like the amount tx at would be re-
quired.
The estimate of the cost sent to the
Senate shows that it would amount to
nearly ten and a half million dollars. The
costs OF one case in California are given,
and when these and other expenses Incl
dent to the full execution of the law are
taken into account, it will be seen that
this attempted transportation of thous-
ands of Chinese is another case of biting
off more than can we'll be mastlcated. 1t
is better to go little slow than to rush
CT to folly and extravaganza expenditure.
