STATE "U" IN THREE DEBATES.
South Dakota Institutions Challenges
Are Accepted.

South Dakota institutions Challenges
Are Accepted.
The state university Of South Da-
kota will participate in three notable
debates this spring, and the prospec-
tive candidates for the three teams
are now hard at work preparing them
selves for the preliminaries, which
take place on the evenings of Feb. %
and "a. The challenges issued to Iowa
state university, Creighton university
and Dakota Wesleyan have been ac-
cepted, and with such strong adversa-
ries in the arena the U. S. D. debaters
realize they will 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: RE
solved That free election is the best
available plan for undergraduate
courses Of study in a college of lib
eral arts" South Dakota, with choice
of sides, will uphold the negative. Da-
kota Wesleyans have choice of sides
In the following question: Resolved,
That 1t would be advisable to institute
In the United States compulsory work
mems insurance against industrial ac-
cidents"
The debate with Iowa will take
place at Iowa City, some time in April.
The one with Dakota Wesleyan will be
held at Mitchell some time between
April Is and May Is. The Creighton
debate will be contested in Vermillior
some time between May and May Is.
1t was the request Of Dakota Wes-
leyan that graduate students be barred
from participating in the debate with
that institution, and the local board ac-
cepted the terms. To pit undergradu-
ate against undergraduate is certain
ly meeting on common ground, and the
u. S. D. debaters are satisfied with the
(; arrangement.

Many persons In South Dakota
have been claiming for many years
that this state was a coming great
corn state, but many outside of the
state and some few "croakers" inside
would not believe it. The government
report, however, for December, 1905,
issued under the authority of the agri-
cultural department, and compiled in
the most authentic manner, gives out
what will be surprise to many peo-
pie, that the corn crop for South Da-
kota for 1905 was 51,614,733 bushels,
with an average per acre Of 31.8
bushels. Comparing this record with
the reports of other states it is found:
First-That South Dakota grows
more corn by 100000 bushels than
the State of Minnesota. more corn
than the State of Michigan, and only
100000 bushels less than the State
of Wisconsin.
Second-That South Dakota grows
more corn than any of the Southern
states except Kentucky, Tennessee
and Texas. North Dakota for 1905
produced only 2,45S,63S bushels and
South Dakota produced more than

HOMESTEAD LAW REFORM.
Association Opposed to Extension of
the Law in the Hills.

Association Opposed to Extension of
the Law in the Hills.
The Black Hills Mining Mems asso-
citation has accepted report made by
a committee concerning legislation re-
garding 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 Nome
builders Protective association has
been formed by numerous ranchmen
for the purpose of obtaining what they
consider to be their rights. The reso-
lutions as adopted by the Mining
Mems association are in brief as fol
lows: That the association is opposed
toextension of the general homestead
laws in the Black Hills, believing
thatsuch extension is contrary to
mining interests, and that it believes
in amending proposed legislation on
the subject SO that only present occu-
pants of the Black Hills forest reserve
shall be entitled to the right to enter
their agricultural lands. 1t does not
favor this homestead law, including
new settlers, but only such as are on
the reserve. Also 1t recommends that
such applicants pay at least $3.50 an
acre, the same price as that made by
the government for placer ground.
The association has also appointed a
committee to look into the matter of
taxes upon unproductive mining Rand.
At present ten acres of unproductive
mining land is paying as high taxation
as 100 acres of agricultural land
which is productive. While recogniz-
ing the rigstful difference in taxation
between mining and agricultural land,
yet the association believes that the
distinction should be made between
mining land which is productive and
that which is not productive.

ADVERTISING SOUTH DAKOTA.
Railway Companies Doing Good Work
for the State.


The two principal railway compa-
nies operating in South Dakota have
taken up the work of advertising the
state, and will in part, by this action,
take the place of an immigration bu-
reau. But what the people of the
state who desire material progress
need to do is to urge action by the
next legislature toward maintaining
either bureau of immigration or sup
plying the state land department with
an additional clerk and sufficient
money for printing to help the work
along. The state department Is con-
tinually receiving inquiries as to ma
terial progress which cannot be an
swered for lack of information, as the
department only keeps record of the
state lands alone, and has no data to
draw upon for land outside of their
care.
