Not a hall q dozen Of men in
South Dakota would come under
the scope Of the income tax law
now before congress. Ex-senator
Moody receives 5000 a year from
the Homestake Mining company
and would have to paw tax on 81 600.
The manager of the mine receives
$4,000 and lives in Lead City. The
law as it passed the house provides
for z per cent tax on incomes over
$4,000. In every case the tax is
upon the sum which exceeds the
$4,000. If a person has an income
OF $1,000 he pays tax on only 81 600.
Outside the congressional delegation
and the two persons mentioned, it is
doubtful if any other person can be
found in this state who will come
under the provisions Of the act.

would come when people would
expect to find as great a proportion
OF men who had enjoyed the adj
vantages Of college training en-
gagged i'll agriculture as in any other
calling.
At the close OF Prof. McLvuth's
address Mr.. L. G. Ericsson was
called out and gave a very enter.
tanning talk. He claimed to be en-
tirely destitute Of all practical
knowledge Of farming. but knew
and appreciated the value Of agri-
culture to all Of the people, to
whatever trade or profession they
might belong, and he put this
thought into such well chosen and
forcible language tina! 1t called out
a hearty round Of applause from the
audience.
The meeting on Friday afternoon
was Of special interest to fruit
growers as Prof. Corbit gave min
ute descriptions of the various in
sects that injure fruit, and he also
gave directions for destroying these
pests. It was evident that the pro-
lessor fully understood the business
Of fruit growing and those present
showed by the number and variety
OF questions asked that they pro-
posed to gain all Of the information
possible.
Before adjournment the meeting
by unanimous vote rendered to
President McLouth and the faculty
OF Brookings college the thanks Of
the citizens of Union county for
their valuable instruction.
