Il STATE FAIR
1t is an Educator in Many Ways and
Serves the State in the Way of
Good Advertising.

In the exposition of the home and
its scientific development and con-
sequent happiness the South Dakota
Annual Fair is unequivocally aligned
upon the principal of perfect service.
The facilities provided in all depart
ments of the exposition, a reserve
power to meet and conquer all ad-
verse conditions and still present a
complete and perfect plan adapted to
every normal demand, have been full
ly demonstrated by the most capable
board ever identified with this en-
terprise. To those who have never
Undertaken similar work it is i'm
3psssible to give an idea of the ex-
ilauatiye detail and laborous effort
involved in an undertaking of this
Chi acter, To those who have con-
Isa-sed and aided similar work in the
past it must be self-evident that abb
ST tie effort, together with unusual
ability, have distinguished tAe Fair
pis-s for 1909.
TO interest the farmers of the
state and secure their invaluable aid
in the enterprise it has been essential
to show a fair, free, full and capable
arrangement Of the several features
belonging to a successful exhibit. In
matters such as these there is con-
donement of error or oversight, fail
ure, pure and simple; where ever the
fault or misfortune it is failure no
less, and it's results cannot be evaded
or amended. Hence the need of abb
solute competency backed by ampli-
tude of power. In this demand the
present committee is especially for
tunate, all their arrangements being
equal to the utmost normal require
ments. Not a feature Of the true fair
is missing, every demand Of the home,
the farm, the special crop Ct industry
Of the farm has been effectively re-
membered and provided for without
stint or shortage. No interest or di-
vision of labor germane to the farm
er's life has been overlooked. Himself
his wife, his children and even the
hired man may all find information
and entertainment in this splendidly
Equipped exhibition. Not only in the
admirable and commodious buildings

FOR SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Annual Convention at Ethan Sunday
Was Marked by a Largely In
creased Attendance.

Commencing Saturday evening the
county Sunday school convention
started at Ethan, and for the Sunday
sessions the attendance was the larg-
est in the history of the association,
with a corresponding greater inter-
est and enthusiasm, the increase in
attendance being 400.
An excellent program had been ar
ranged for the convention and every
number was of an interesting char
acter. The music was furnished by
the Ethan choir, the Mitchell orches-
ira and several soloists, and formed
a very entertaining part of the ses-
sion,. Sermons were delivered by
DR.. j. S. Hoagland and Rev. E. M.
LETTERS during Sunday, being filed
with the most practical thoughts for
the benefit Of the Sunday school. Miss
Sadie Notson, the state secretary of
the elementary work, gave some
helpful suggestions, and Secretary
Whitaker, of the Y. M. G. A., gave
a fine talk on Boys"

think a great many farmers could be
prevailed upon to get better seed
grain. Particular stress will be plac-
ed upon the Importance Of the farm
er taking his seed grain home with
him as soon as possible, the same day
if he could do so. The sooner he gets
it out of the elevator, the better it
will be because of the BLOWN around
OF weed seeds, and the danger of its
being mixed accidently in the bin.
In this way the ne wseed would he
procured practically in exchange for
the seed grain he would otherwise
SOW. The farmer would be approach
ed on the subject at the time he feels
the result of sowing poor seed, Just
after he has threshed and probably
obtained a poor yield, and at tie time
he is selling for a lower price be-
cause of want Of quality in his pro-
duct. The matter would also appeal
to him at the time when he is able
to make the exchange for better seed.
II seems to me the proper time to agi-
tate the seed question.

sixty day OF Lincoln OF Kerson oat.

Sixty day or Lincoln or Kerson oat,
sometimes called the Little Yellow
Russian, but all the same little early
oat has been very much the
best yielder for a series of years. In
TIE experiments conducted by this
station they have given an average
of twenty bushels per acre more
each year for seven years, than any
other variety in the test. One year
of these seven the late oats beat them
but on the seven year average they
have an annual average Of twenty
bushels more to the acre. This is
about the condition all " this
state where they are properly put In,
and sown early. The managers at
the local station would determine
what kind of seed grain each house
was to handle, one taking oats, an
other barley, another probably mac
caroni wheat, another blue stem
wheat, or possibly in some localities
it would be velvet chaff instead Of
naccaroni, while in others it would
ia johnson wheat, but owing to the
fact that these two varieties of vel
vet chaff and johnson wheat are so
disseminated against by the millers,
and l think at least to a certain ex-
tent justly, it is a question whether
it is more profitable to grow them
than blue stem in a very large pro-
portion of the territory of this state.
Conditions however, vary in the state
and the local managers will have to
work this out as these conditions to
them seem to demand for best and
most profitable results to the farm
ers. In some localities Of the state
one house would probably handle
flax. After having determined what
kind Of grain each house was to hand
lie, they would then ascertain what
farmers in that locality had the very
best quality Of these respective ar
|ieties of grains. and when this grain
came to the market that was to be
used for seed purposes, 1t would be
bought by the house handling that
variety Of seed grain, and put in the
seed bin for sale again to the farm
Eers. Then whenever a farmer came
In to the market with an inferior
variety of grain, owing to the sowing
of inferior seed Of a variety that was
not best adapted to that locality,
each buyer who looked at his load
would call his attention to the in
.''feriority of the grain he was Offering,
land to the fact that he could. get a
much better quality Of seed at the
house handling that kind of grain

Ibuers on the markets in this way

ATTENDANCE NOT GOOD
\ Noticeable Falling Or of Attend
ance in Seventh and Eighth and
the Primary Grades.

When schccl resumed Tuesday
there was a noticeable lack of
attendance in the seventh and eighth
grades, also in the primary grades.
Last year, Superintendent Hoff stat
ed, that there We're % pupils enroll
ed in the eighth grade and this year
but SO, and the depreciation is suf-
ficiently large as to cause comment.
There are many children who have
not enrolled as yet, and the superin-
tendent believes that they should all
be started to school right at the be-
ginning, in order that they may be
classified and begin on even terms
with the rest of the pupils.
The state law requires that all
children between the ages of z and
Is must attend school during the
entire year, and further than that all
persons are forbidden giving employ
ment to children. In the former in
stance a penalty is attached for fail
ing to send the children to school,
and it would seem from the number
of children on the street during the
school hours that there would be
much work for a truant officer.
The attendance in the high school
department numbers nearly 200, and
is somewhat o~vsrcrowded, but the
conditions can be borne easier when
it is known that in a few short months
the new high school building will be
ready for occupancy.
In the formation of classes in the
primary department Superintendent
Hoff states that parents having chill
dren who will be 6 years old before
Jan. 1 that he would appreciate II
very much if they would send the
children right now, as they can be
taken care of better now than If kept
out until the first of the year.
