Consolidation does not seem to pos sess an agricultural predilection. The census of 1900 shows that the total number of farms in the country has increased in ten years from 4,500,00O of 5,700,O0O, an increase of more than 20 per cent. The number of farms worked by the owners has increased 5O0,00O, or IS per cent Tenant farm CTS have increased about 40 per cent, chiefly in the east, where farmers have gone to town to live at their ease and rented their farms to ten ants. Still there are a great many farms that are too large for their own CTS and should be subdivided. This is particularly the case in the south, where the idea has always prevailed that farmer should own not only the land he cultivated, but a much larger area outside his fence on all four sides. and the more of this out side land he paid taxes on the better. This policy, however, is waning, and in many places practically all the

One Brooklyn lad of fifteen years is
happy because he is a part of the great
billion dollar steel trust. Nearly n year
ago Secretary William III. Baldwin
wrote to the principal of a grammar
school, asking that two of the brightest
members of the graduating class be
sent to hin as candidates for the posi-
ton of Office boy. Tom" a handsome,
manipulating boy, and another lad
were sent, and Toms" good looks and
neat appearance won the day. He was
installed in the position at $3.50 per
week, and in a short time so thorough
~ mastered his duties that his salary
vas doubled. He won the regard OF
man. of tbs millionaire steel mag
mates, many of item having told him
OF their own beginnings in business as
humble as his own. When the organ
ization Of the big trust was completed
Toms salary was raised to 81 per
week, so that he might have some.
thing to mark the the commencement
of his connection with the biggest ag-

A very interesting incident, and one
showing the good spirit that exists De

norted in Yankton by a farmer living
near Springfield. Some time ago a Dig

HE other property, a~ggregating

Iniaue Tree-PIanting Method OF a
south Dakota Man.

A unique but profitable a of plant
ing and caring for young trees is re-
ported by Abe Van Osdel of Mission
Hill. Out of the 1,5o0 planted last sea-
son he lost but fifteen. A tin can Is in
serted in the earth near the tree.
Around the tree trunk, near the roots,
he winds a strip of cloth of heavy text
ure, and the end is inserted in h can,
which is filed with water about once q
week. The can is covered with a heavy
mulch. to prevent evaporation. Tne
idea Is that the tree draws moisture
from the can through the wet cloth,
and thus withstands the drought bet
ter. This plan is used in Holland
where t~ree-culture is a great success.

IN GOOD CONDITION.
State University HUNS AlOng-COrn-
menccment June 7-12.

The state university al Vermillion has
enjoyed a very prosperous year, and the
spring term finds more students at the
university than during the preceding
terms. The credit for this state of af-
fairs is not due particularly to any n
source, but rather to the fast-increasing
popularity of the institution. 1t is true
that President Garrett Droppers has a
strong hold upon the students, gained
by his eVer-inCreasing respect for them
and an intense interest and enthusiasm
In everything which they undertake;
but no more so than the majority Of the
faculty. Coupled with these. is the 10y
atty of former students throughout the
state, who never tire in their e~ndeavors
to promote the welfare of the institu-
ton which gave them knowledge, as
also can be said of those now in attend
anCe.
The present faculty is a good one.
Prominent among h comparatively
new men is Prof. J. D. Logan, who was
chosen last year to take charge of the
English department. His selection was
a good one and the classes in this de-
partment are now as large as any in
the university.
Prof. Brown, formerly Of the college
of business of Morning Side college, is
In charge of the business department OF
the university at present, and is very
satisfactorily filling the position.
Prof. GrabilI, of the music depart
ment, is an accomplished musician.
Miss Majorie Woods. vocalist, has been
at the university only this year, but
there is no intimation that she will be
obliged to seek a position elsewhere in
the future if she hoose to remain.
The publication of the nineteenth an
nual catalogue of the University or
South Dakota will be commenced this
week in the Plain Talk office, Vermill-
ion, and is to be completed and ready
for delivery by June 10. 1t Will be an
interesting and instructive journal.
Three thousand copies will be secured
for distribution.
The dates for commencement week
his year are June 7-l2.
