it will be only after some desperate and
spectacular fighting. in which it IS by nc
means sure that the Russians will have
all the advantage. Behind e~ntrench-

tween them. In the open field the Jap
anese should be victorious, other things
being equal, because Of their astonish-

SOUTH DAKOTA HORTICULTURE
The Next Meeting Of the Hortcu'turists Will Be
Held at Madison January 1921

The South Dakota State Horticul-
tural society was organized and incor-
porated under the laws of the state
jan 8, 1890. The history Of the soci-
ETY. is marked with vicissitudes owing
TO the lack of state aid so freely given
by the older states to their societies.
The mission of this organization is to
gather tos other the experience of all
who cultivate trees, fruits, vegetables
shrubs and flowers and to disseminate
this information throughout the state
The annual meetings Of the associa-
ton are productive of much good to
the places in which they are held, but
the lack Of funds has hitherto pre-
vented the publication of the papers
and discussions in permanent form
Provision for this was made by the
last legislature, so that 1000 copies of
the report will be published in book
form each year.
The next meeting of the society will
be held at Madison, S. D., Jan. 10. 20
and Il, 1904. The report will be pub
lished as soon thereafter as possible.
All Interested in the horticultural de-
veloDmeat of the state should attend
this meeting. 1t is the earnest desire
of this society that this will mark a
large increase in the membership.
The largest horticultural society in the
United States is that of Minnesota,
with over l, 400 members
The South Dakota society will be
satisfied to start with LOCO members
the first year. This will take every
copy OF the report and compel the pub
LEGATION Of larger number in the
future. The annual ID embership fee is
