Mrs. E. p. Farr. a very excellent and
artistic lady OF Pierre, has been interest
ing herself for a year or two past in find
ing out what the people Of this state
considered the state flower. Without
definite expression it has been somehow
taken for granted that the Golden Rod
Was the state flower, and Mrs. Farr who
is the state secretary for the National
Floral Emblem Society OF America' say
she has peer trying for two years to se
cure concerted action Of the county su-
perluteudents OF the state to have the
matter presented to the people through
the teachers and their pupils and thus
get d detiuIte statement OF public choice
10 the matter, but far she has failed.
She Is still going to persevere in the eff
fort, and after the choice OF the people is
expressed HI act Of the legislature will
be invoked to give 1t legal or permanent
standing.
