New superintendent OF Public Instruc
ton Was Not Active Candidate.

New Superintendent OF Public instruc-
tlcn Was Not Active Candidate.
Prof. M. Nj, Ramer, until recently
principal at the city schools at Mitch
ell. received his appointment as sup
erintendent of public instruction. to
I'LL the Vacancy caused by the resig-
nation Of Hon, George w. Nash, who
was appointed to the position Of pres
ident of the Aberdeen state normal
school.
Prof. Nashs resignation takes eff
feet Sept. l.
Prof Ramer's appointment was
made by Gov. Elrod after due con-
sideration of the candidates for APP
pointment and he was selected strict
ly on his merits as an educator and o
man equal to the position which he
viii fill. In the names that have been
suggested as candidates for the APP
pointment Prof. Ramer's name has
never been mentioned. Prof Ramer's
appointment is charged up to Grant
county, where he taught for several
years.
Prof. NJ. M. Ramer was born at
Lewiston, Mimi, Feb. IL, 1869, and
accompanied his parents TO Tower
City, NJ. D., In 1880. He began his
studies in the common schools and
later took course in the normal
school at Moorhead, Mimi, attending
a Baptist college later in North Da-
kota. He began his teaching career
in the country schools of Cass county,
North Dakota, in 1SS, where he re-
NAMED for five years. He was then
called to the schools Of Big Stone
City, s. D., in 1893, and after serving
there period of time he was elected
superintendent of schools of Grant
county, which he held for four years,
the limit under the law. From 1902
to 1904 he was the principal of the
schools at Milbank, where he made an
unqualified success of his work.
Last year he was secured by the
board Of education of this city to ae-
cent the principalship of the Mitchell
schools, and the year he has been here
has demonstrated his great worth as
7
an educator, and he was re-engaged
for the ensuing year. In January he
was elected to the position Of presi-
dent Of the South Dakota Educational
association.
Prof. Kramer is what might be term
ed self-educated man. His schooling
days were necessarily limited and his
attachments have been wrought out
by steady application to his books
during the long hours Of the night,
devoting himself assiduously in better
fitting himself for his work. For all
the sacrifices he made in his younger
days he said he found it paid in the
long run to be faithful to task. Prof.
Ramer stands high among the educat-
ors Of the state for his thoroughness
in all his work and for his splendid
capabilities. His appointment to the
position is satisfactory in educational
circles

FIND IT PAYS TO SEEK SETTLERS
Reyfva the Demand for immigration Bureau for the State
OF South Dakota

The greater gain in North Dakota's
population when placed in compari-
son with that Of South Dakota, for the
past fifteen years and since the separa.
ton into two states, is being made the
subject Of discussion as to the reasons.
and the revival Of the demand for an
immigration bureau for the state.
North Dakota has looked well to this
line Of work, and, moreover. the two
great railroads which cross the state
keep in existence working immigra.
ton bureaus of their own. The result
is shown in the census figures. Every
legislature which has been asked to
assist in this line of work has refused
to consider the proposition, and moth
ing has been done. Real estate men
In Northwestern cities outside the
state. when asked why they tufn their
clients to North Dakota instead Of
South Dakota, frankly say that it is
easier to induce men to go to a state
which is assisting them in their work.
The complete census figures for

these 1882 are foreign born. The city
Of Huron has population of 1878, a
gain Of $50 in FIVE years. This popu-
lation is 2,02S male, with 400 foreign
born. The city has zoos school chill
dren. The population of the other
towns of the county is: Hitchcock,
1886; Cavour, 1875; Wolsey, 152.
The final figures for Bookings coun-
ty show a population Of 1902, a gain
of 1,451 since 1900. The male popula.
ton OF the county is 7,434, and the
foreign born population numbers 2,S03.
The city of Bookings has population
of 1895, gain Of 9l9, and ACT of the
city population is foreign born. Vol.
ga has 552; Elkton $50; White 479 and
Aurora 213.
Aurora county shows population Of
4,562. Of which 2,453 is male and 2,1O9
female, with foreign born population
of TIL. This is gain of 551 for the
county for five years The population
of Plankinton is COS, while it was 465
I'VE years ago, and 366 in 1890. This
gives Plankinton gain of two in fif.
teen years; and places White Lake at
the same point it was at that time.

wheat, Is somewhat affected by the
mysterious disease.
Farmers who this season expert
mented with the raising OF winter
wheat are generally well satisfied with
the results. Some grain that has al
ready been threshed' has run from
twenty-five to thirty-ive bushels to the
acre. The quality is said to be much
better than the quality of spring wheat
in many localities.
If reports from large district are
correct. there win be much loss OF
grain by reason of lack of machinery
and hands to gather it quickly. The
weather coming ON dry and hot, has
FASTENED the ripening process so that
fields intended for the sickle next week
are ready to be cut now. Few harvest
hands come west OF Huron. and this
emergency is hard to meet.
That the crop is mammoth is shown
by the fact that it required seventy
pounds of Irvine to bind Henry SCOTS
eighteen acres of barley, some of which
he did not get because it was down.
His oats stood one and on-half feet
high, but are down now.
William Gardner of Rec Heights has
been viewing the wheat. He had look.
ed upon the wheat valleys of the Pa
cific coast when the grain was golden,
but never when it was more mann.
moth than the crop now southwest OF
his town, which is little better than
the grain along the line west of Huron
wherever you go.
The harvest Of Meade county's bOun-
tiful crop is on. Barley cutting has
been in progress, and the dropping OF
/ wheat will begin this week. Some
farmers are estimating their wheat at
thirty-five bushels per acre. 1t is re
ported that a great amount of smut
exists in various localities of the coun.
ty.
The Brookings college people did
much good last winter in holding meet
ings and advising treatment of wheat
for smut. Now the farmers want corn
treated for worms. Sweet corn is also
ruined by the pests, while early field
corn is being attacked. The worms
eat unseen at the tender kernels under
the husks until the grain becomes
hard.
