Telling Truths to Farmers.

Secretary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture keeps right on finding facts and
telling farmers about them, which are Ger
tainly very suggestive. A recent inquiry il
why it should be necessary for the United
States to have imported $65S 800 worth of
beans and peas in the last fiscal year. Dur
ing the SAM time cur people paid 1856 64i
for foreign cabbage Sl27. .O59 for foreign po-
tatoes, $2,773 535 for foreign grown hay
snd $500 900 for imported hops. Al
these together make quite a bunch of money
which it would certainly seem might as we'll
have gone to farmer3 living inside tho
American boundary. Mr.. Wilson thinks that
there WIS no need for importing SO OOD 900
worth of goat skins last year. He believes
goats can be raised as well and as cheaply
in the United States as anywhere. When
there is so much talk about foreign COM
petition in manufactured products it seems
to be pretty generally overlooked that for
eign farmers are getting mon7y which ought
to go to our own agrlcuturist1. There must
be a fault somewhere which can be rene
died. What and where, ere the questions to
be investigated Gnl answered. Surely the
American farmer is rs industrious and pro
gressive as tilers Of the soil in any other
climate. That being 50, he should rise to
the situation end secure ihe business to
which he is entitled.

A STATE ENTERPRISE.

Everyone should take pride in helping
to maintain a first class newspaper with
in the state, one which is DEVOTED to
South Dakota's interest, and which is
bending its energy to push the state for
ward,
Every republican should take pride in
helping to build up a party newspaper
within the state which is fighting for the
success of republican principles.
When this can be done and at the same
time greater value be gotten for less mon
ey every one should take hold. The
Sioux Falls Argus Leader has lately
greatly improved its new service and has
in view still other improvements. 1t
prints by far more state news than any
other daily which circulates among South
Dakota people. 1t prints the full Asso-
ciated Press dispatches. It's editorials
are crisp and powerful. 1t is in closer
touch with affairs of the state and the
party than any rival and furnishes more
news of interest. Its legislative service
this year is handled by by j. Tomlinson,
Jr. and will be far more elaborate and
more interesting than that OF any other.
1t reaches Its readers as quickly or more
so than any other paper.
It's subscription price is only fonr dol
lars per year. Every Republican in South
Dakota should take it. 1t is worth sar
more than the money. Argus Leader.

mark the relative standing of each
pupils exercise. Announce the

This will practically teach penman-
