such strong adyersaries in the arena,
the u. S. u. debaters realize they VIII
have to be up and doing.
So far questions have been agreed
upon with Iowa and Dakota Wesleyan,
but not with Creighton. The question
submitted by Iowa and accepted by the
u. s. d. board Of control is: Resolved,
That free electiou. is the best available
plan for Undergraduate courses OF
study in a college of liberal arts South
Dakota with choice Of sides will uphold
the negative. Dakota Wesleyans have
choice Of sides in the following ques-
ton: Resolved, That it would be adj
visable to institute in the United States
compulsory workmen's insurance
against industrial accidents"
1t was the request Of Dakota Wes-
leyan that graduate students be bar
red from participating in the debate
with that institution and the local
board accepted the terms. To pit I'M
d~ergraduate against undergraduate is
certainly meeting on common ground,
and the u. S. ID. debaters are satisfied

cars could accommodate.
! The programs of h meetings usual
ly last about forty-tiye minutes, n
include interesting talks from two OF
the party who have dealt with the
practical difficulties in securing good
seed. Half of the time is given over
to the consideration of seed corn, its
selection and planting, and the other
half TO wheat seed n the diseases 10
which it is subjected. In this connec
ton the speaker point out the nature
Of smut and how a practical remedy is
open to farmers to relieve their fields
of this nuisance. The remedy consists
of one pint of formaldehyde to forty
five gallons of water sprinkled on the
wheat Just before seeding. This solu-
tion has proved strong enough to de-
stroy the parasite without injury TO the
wheat.

OPPOSE FARMING IN
THE BLACK HILLS
Mining Association Believes the
Homestead Law Should
BE Abolished.
A MINING PLANS
They Compromise, However, and Re-
solve to Let Present Residents on
Government Land Enter Ag-
ricultural Lands.

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 30.-The Black
Hills Mining association has accepted
a report made by a committee concern
ing legislation regarding homestead
laws in the Black Hills. There has
been considerable difference between
the mining men and farmers regarding
this matter and an association called
the Homebuilders' Protective associa-
ton has been formed by numerous
ranchmen for the purpose Of obtaining
what they consider to be their rights.
The resolutions as adopted by the
mining association are i'll brief as fol-
lows:
''That the association is opposed to
the extension of the general homestead
laws in the Black Hills, believing that
such extension is contrary to mining in
terests, and that it believes in amend
ing proposed legislation or the subject
so that only present occupants of the
Black Hills forest reserve shall be en-
titled to the right to enter their agri-
cultural lands, 1t does not favor this
homestead law, including new settlers,
but only such as are already on the re-
serve. Also ii recommends that such
applicants pay at least $3.50 an acre,
the same price as that made by the
government for placer ground. This as
ISOLATION has also appointed a commit
tee to look into the matter of taxes
upon unproductive mining land. At
present ten acres Of ~unproductive min
ing lend is paying as high taxation as
leo acres of agricultural land which is
productive. While recognizing the
rightful difference in taxation between
mining and agricultural land, yet the
association believes that the distinc-
ton should be made between mining
land which is productive and that
which is not productive"

rho Government Report Bears Out the
Claim That the State Is Fast Be-

Country.
IS I'M THIRTEENTH a

Huron, S. D., Feb. 3.-Many persons
in South Dakota have been calming for
many years that this state was a COM
ing great corn state, but many outside
of the state ana some few ~"croakers'
inside would not believe 1t. The gov
ernment report, however, for December,
1905, issued under the authority of the
agricultural department, and compiled
bin the most authentic manner, gives
out what win be a surprise TO many
people, that the corn crop for South
Dakota for 1906 was 51.Gl4,753 bushels,
with m average per acre Of 3f.8 bush
els. Comparing his record with the
reports on other states, il is found:
First-That South Dakota grows
more corn by 5000, 900 bushels than the
state of Minnesota, more corn than the
state Of Michigan and only 1000 600
bushels less than the state Of Wiscon-
sin.
Secondhand South Dakota grows
states except Kentucky, Tennessee and
Texas. North Dakota for 1905 produced
only 2,45S,63S bushels, n South Da-
kota produced more than twenty-five
times as much corn as, North Dakota.
Also, South Dakota produced more
corn than all OF the six New England
states combined, the great empire state
of New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington, Utah, Oregon, California, Colo
vado or Wyoming.
The total product of corn of all OF
these states combined was 134,000 BUSH
els less than in South Dakota alone.
Reference is made to page rs, vii, No.
s of supplement, which says:
South Dakota is the thirteenth state
of the union in the number of bushels
Of corn raised, but the thirty-fifth in
population, and is the fourth state In
he number OF bushels per capita raised.
The only states being ahead are Me-
braska, Iowa and Kansas. Illinois be-
ing the leading corn state with 49,, 0oO,-
BOO bushels, raised over 40 bushels of
corn less per capita than South Dakota,
while Iowa is only 5 bushels ahead and
Kansas only 8 bushels ahead per cap

Railroad Commissioners Act on Cen
eral Complaint Over State.

eral Complaint over 3lStss
Sioux Fails, $. ID, Jan, 70 Several
matters OF more than usual import
ance were considered and acted upon
during the regular monthly meeting
of the state board OF railroad commits
s~ioners, which has just been concluded
in this city.
one OF THE matters which occupied
the attention or tho board was the
complaint or III. J. Fanestock OF Wa
tertown to the effect that grain NY
ors are taking more excess weight than
the law permits, thus muleting the
farmers for more pounds per bushel
than is allowed by law. Fanestock's
complaint was first called 10 the at
tention OF h railroad commissioners
at their December meeting. and at that
time the case was referred TO Ware
house and Scale Inspector ID. c.. Rocker
for investigation.
Inspector Kicker made q careful i'm
vestigation and al the meeting OF the
board made hts report. In this he
plates among other things that he
found III was the general practice OF
grain buyers TO take thirty-three
pounds per bushel for oats and fifty
pounds per bushel for barley, h buy
crs contending that the number Of
pounds thus taken over and above tho
legal weights per hushei liz the amount
OF dirt in the grain.
In his report the Inspector calls att
tention TO the laws OF South Dakota.
which fix oats at thirty-two pounds
per bushel and barley at f~orty-eight,
and states that the practice or the
buyers therefore liz Illegal. Under the
law the practice Of the warehouse men
In taking more pounds per bushel than
Is permitted by law Is a misdemcanor.
After considering the report the rail-
road commissioners announced Il as
their purpose to in future enforce the
law to, the letter by requiring ware
house men 10 take only thirty-two
pounds per bushel for oats and forty
eight pounds per bushel for barley.
