cultivating land. They are, grow
ing corn and alfalfa, and deep p'ow-
ing. He says that on the south west
ern p~rairies alfalfa is the most val
uable crop grown. He think ten
acres of it is worth more than a full

a fine feed for cattle and hogs.

RESOLUTIONS BY
SUPERINTENDENT

Co. Supt. Margaret Duthie return
ed last week from the state conven-
ton at Rapid City, where the follow
ing resolutions, PERTAINING to the
work in u schools, were passed.
Miss Duthie intends to carry out
these plans as much as possible the
coming year.
To the Superintendent of Public In
struction, South Dakota:
We, your committee, appointed by
you at Canton on July 3, 1907, tor
the purpose of considering WAYS and
means of introducing practical in.
~struction in agriculture and other
forms of industrial work into our
public schools, particularly the ru-
raj schools of the state beg to sub
NIT the following. ...Ea. b..
We believe the only true educa.
ton for the country child is that
which will fit him for a well round
ed and successful life in the country.
We believe the state should see to
it that he receives every advantage
which will tend to produce in him a
desire to work intelligently and sue
c~essfully in his environment. There
fore. we would recommend to you.
LIST. That each school follow and
demonstrate a list of experiments
and exercises provided by the office
of the department of education,
through the county superintendent
and report the same to him at the
close of the school year or at some
stated time during the year.
End. That each county shall hold
contests in the different lines of this
work at some central place in the
county at least once each year, when
prizes shall be awarded to those who
excel in the different lines of work
and that a number of counties shall
be termed a district where contests
and exhibits from the several coun-
ties shall be held; and further that
the prize winners in the district con-
tests shall be eligible to enter a state
contest conducted under the direct
supervision of the state department
of instruction.
3rd. That the whole course of this
work shall be supervised directly by
the superintendent of public instruc-
ton and his staff. thereby making it
uniform throughout the state as far
as the resources of the different To-
calities will permit.
4th. That a course of industrial
work shall be definitely prescribed
and that each pupil be required to
present certificates testifylng to a
certain number of credits in the work
before a rural school diploma shall
be granted.
9Th. We would further recon-
mend that steps be taken to estab-
lish an agricultural and industrial
school in each county in the state
and would suggest that the county
poor farm which is found in many
counties be used as an experiment
farm for that purpose.
9th. That the county superintend-
ents If the state be requested to use
their influence with the members of
the legislature from their respective
counties to obtain an appropriation
of money sufficient 70 enable the
Superintendent of Public instruction
to carry on this work.

ROAD WORK
AND ITS COST
investigations by the Govern
ment Officials

The office of public roads of the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington has recently issued a bulletin
dealing with the making and use OF
the King road drag. The following
extracts from the bulletin are inter-
esting, showing something of the saw
ing made possible by the Use Of this
simple tool:
There is no question as to the
economy of this road making imple-
ment, either in first cost or in opera
ton. In six counties in Kansas in
1906, the cost of maintaining ordi-
nary earth roads, without the aid of
the split-log dag, averaged $42.50 a
mile. These figures were furnished
by Professor w. G. Hoad, of the
University of Kansas, who secured
them from official records of the
counties.
Some figures furnished by F. r.
Sanborn and r. H. Ashton, general
manager of the Chicago & North
western railroad, have revealed the
wonders of this simple device. Mr.
Sanborn said, the least expense per
mile per annum for split-log drag
ging was $3.50, the grertest a little
over Sc, and the average expense
per mile for 81 miles a little over So.
| have lived along this road all my
life and never in forty years have
seen it freer from mud and dust, de,
spite the fact that during the season
we have experienced the extreames
of weather conditions
The testimony of Mr. Ashton is
equally strong. Learning that q
township in Iowa had been making
an investigation of the split log drag
and had been experimenting with i,
for a year on % miles of highway,
he sent an agent to secure imforma,
ton. 1t was reported that although
the town board had paid the cost OF
making the drags and of hiring mer
to operate them. the total expense
for one year averaged but $2.40 &
mile, and the roads were reported t.
have been like a race track the
greater portion of the year"
From careful observation we are
led to believe that the principal rea,
son in this country, at least, why al
do not get the expected results from
the use of the log drag is because il
is not used at the right time. Man,
people wait till the road is dry be
fore putting on the drag. This prac
tice may be all right in some soils
but it does not bring best results in
the Dakotas. Generally speaking
the time to use a drag is while the
road is muddy-slushy, in fact
Then the ruts are filled up with mud
the water is allowed to run off, AM
the road to bake or dry smoothly
