No Horns. Don,t Shoot.

A compromise in the dispute be-
tween deer hunters and those who
seek to save the deer from extinction
has been suggested and If adopted It
probably will prove beneficial to both
hunters and deer.
It now is proposed to do away with
the killing of all fawns and does for e,
number Of years but to allow the
shooting of bucks. Advocates of such
a law argue that there will be less &C
cidents where a hunter must dis
tinguish the prongs of a buck before
firing, and it will not cut off the reye-
nue. from deer licenses which in Dead
wood county alone this month amount
ed to over $1,000

e Secretary Doane Robinson OF the
State Historical society has just Is
sued his seventh annual review OF
progress OF South Dakota, taking up
the material progress of the state for
the last year, including railway. de-
syelopment and settlement. The In
crease in school population is 1924
for the year, and the natural increase
- population by births over deaths
has been 6,9S5 for the same time;
While new settlement is accredited to
large general increase, there lis no
way to show this before the census
of 1910 is taken.
The total legislative appropriations
for the last session were $2,S95, 207. 81,
of which a large percentage went into
public buildings at different points in
the state.
The agricultural prospects of the
state are credited as having been bet
ter in the western and central parts
of the state than in the eastern por-
ton, where the heavy rains of the
early spring retarded seeding and
corn planting, with continuing wet
weather reducing the crop yield.
Secretary Robinson summarizes the
production of the present year as fol-
lows:

$24,234, 25O.40; corn, 54,561,26S bush
