County Board Offers Reward in Al
bert Hanson Case.
The board of county commission.
ers Of Day county has been asked
to issue a reward for information re-
garding the whereabouts Of Albert
Hanson, for years resident OF Pier
pont, who disappeared last fall un-
der mysterious circumstances.
At the time of the disappearance
on Oct. last Hanson had about $500
in cash on his person. He said he
was going to Webster, the county
seat, to pay for team he had pur-
chased, and to purchase another team
to take with him on contemplated
journey to his homestead in the re-
gion between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills.
That evening Hanson was seen by
several citizens of Webster who knew
him. That was the last seen Of him.
His team afterward was discovered in
the barn of DIR. Judge. where he had
placed the animals.
About the time of Hanson's disap-
pearance the bodies of two transients
were found in a straw stack near Bris-
toll, with numerous bullet holes In,
them, and 1t Is feared Hanson may
also have been murdered, but the
failure to find his body has led his
relatives to hope that he still is alive.

A new depot is to be built at cost

The matter of the location Of this

pears to be that 1t will be not far
from the present building used for
that purpose, but on the new tracks
farther to the north. The rest Of the
amount is to be expended for shops,
a roundhouse and coal house, which
will be located on the grounds pur-
chased by the company last year.

Besides tbs railroad work, fully
100000 will be put into the work at

METHOD FOR TESTING SEED CORN
Soun Dahom Experiment Station Gives Full Directions
way N which Little Time Can Be Spent 10

The South Dakota Agricultural En-
pertinent station has sent out direc
lions for testing each ear Of seed
corn as follows:
Prepare box as large as may be
convenient for your use and about
two and one-half or three inches deem.
Ia this box you may use sand. dirt.
sawdust or any convenient medium.
put sawdust Is by far the most salts
factory article for the purpose. II
sawdust Is used do not attempt to
NIL the box and then wet it, but nut
the sawdust In sack. soak It In q
boiler Of warm water and then drain
It. Fiji the box with this warm, moist
sawdust and lamp 1t down solidly
with . brick or piece OF two-by-four
until the box Is filled within half an
inch Of the top.
Lay over the sawdust white cloth
ruled with lead pencil into squares
an inch and half on a side. Mum.
Der these squares In some regular or
der. Now lay the ears which you
intend to test in = row on the floor
or on = board. driving nail between
each ten ears and numbering the
nrst, the tenth. the twentieth and so
on. Or II you haven't convenient
place to lay the corn out where it
won't be disturbed, number each ear
on . small square Of paper fastened
to the butt Of the ear with q nail.
Take the drst ear, ear No. i. In
your left hand and with jack knife
Ia your right hand take one kernel
from each side of the ear near the
butt, turn the ear quarter Of the way
around and take one kernel from
each side near the middle, turn the
ear = quarter OF the way again and

NURSERY MEN PROTEST.
New Law, It Is Declared, Favors Cata-
iogue Houses.

New Law, " ~ OeCtdFcu, FSSc's S
logue Houses.
Many of the nurserymen OF the
state are bitterly complaining OF the
provisions OF law enacted by the
-ecent legislature which relates to the
carrying on of a nursery business In
The state.
Among other things the new law
provides that every company, indivi'
iual or firm carrying on a nursery
business in South Dakota must file a
oond of $4,000, and that the head or
proprietor of each nursery concern
must pay license of SIC, with a
small fee for each agent. The chief
objection to the bill is to that clause
which provides that when contract
Is taken it must be specified In shrub,
plant or vine ordered Is grown. The
nursery men declare that it is utter
" impossible to fill this requirement.
It Is charged by some of the nur.
,ery men that the bill was passed
n the interest of nurseries located In
other states which do business In
south DAKOTA by means Of catalogues.
Ind which, because they do not sell
by agent" are not affected by the
lew law. The manager Of one OF
he largest nurseries in South Da-
lota announces that his company will

WILL SOW FLAX ON SOD.

Settlers to Try Plan That Has Saved
Day More Than Once.
In the early settlement of the east.
ern part of the state sod crops OF
flax saved the day for more than one
settler, who, without that crop, would
have been compelled to leave the
country. 1t proved to be one of the
safest and best paying crops which
could be put in on sod, and made
money for those who went into 1t.
Now some Of those who helped to
settle the eastern part of the state
and are starting again west OF the
river are going to try the same plan,

ported preparing to SOW 400 acres

prevent drying and to make box CON
venient to handle, put strap around
the box and set it away where 1t is
warm enough to sprout corn. The
temperature OF q living room that
does not freeze nights is sufacieet fol
the purpose.
Let II stand about six days or Until
the sprouts are about an inch Wong
then open up the box and study the
termination OF each ear. n every
kernel has started but has produced
shoots smaller and weaker than
those from other ears throw away
the ear. Remember the conditions in
the field will not be as perfect as the
conditions which you have provided
In the termination box. and that the
stronger the termination Of kernel
the better is its chance OF making
strong productive plant.
A box fifteen inches wide by thirty
inches long, such as may be made
from a piece of sixteen-inch board
and a bat vii ltest about 200 ears,
about bushel and half OF corn, at
one filling. The amount OF time re-
quired to make the test is not as
great as you may think before trying
II. There is no way in which you
can spend a little time to better adj
vantage than in testing every ear of
corn that you intend to plant. It Is
especially important this year, as 1t
may be the only way in which you
can get seed corn that will grow and
that is adapted to your conditions of
soil and season.
