The usual spring crop of railway
rumors for the state are flying about,
and whether any of them will take
definite form remains for the future
to tell. Most of the officials, major
and minor, of the different railway
operating in the state are taking the
position that there will be but little
If any railway construction in South
Dakota until they know just how much
further the anti-railway legislation
which has prevailed in the last two
sessions is TO be carried. In this they
may be running a bluff, and may mean
what they say. At any rate, up to the
present there is but little on which
to base actual roalroad rumors.
So far as west of the Missouri river
is concerned. it is claimed, on what IS
considered good authority, that the
Milwaukee will construct a line from
their coast extension down into the
heart of the section Of the state which
is to be opened to settlement on the
Standing Rock and Cheyenne River In
dian reservations the latter part of
this year, with a terminal in the viCin-
ity of Thunder Butte, the line to eX-
tend from Lennon, or some point
further east.
The Northwestern last winter kept
a surveying crew out most of the win
ter running a line from their Black
Hills extension up into the same Sec
ton of the country. Since the sur
vey was completed nothing further
has been heard of the project, and the
local officials of the road say there
will not be for a year or more, so far
as they have any knowledge in regard
to It. That the legislative action last
winter stopped any further move in
that direction.
Another project which is being dis
cussed is the laying of track on the
grade between Pierre and Aberdeen.
This rumor floats practically every
year, and this time it is the Mime
apolis & st. Louis road which is to
take up the work. Aberdeen people
appear to feel confident that the work
is to be done by that company, and
this year yet. The grade is owned
by Pierre, and the men who have
1t in charge. while not giving out any
definite information, take the position
that it will be an operating road with
in a short time. The grade is open as
a donation to the railroad system
which will makes an operating line of
IT and the people of Pierre will
have no objections to it's being used by
any system which will put a new line
irt" the city.
While the existing lines of road do
not appear to be showing any direct
intention Of construction in the state
this year, a number of moves by local
business men and farmers are under
way to attempt to induce action. One
of these is a new company in the
Black Hills, known as the Black Hills

WILL TEST DEMURRAGE LAW.
State Association Of Farmers Ele

''SS OIL NSsioH w ooutIt
Dakota.
The state association of farmers
elevators has retained the law firm of
Kean & Lawson to represent it in an
action in Lincoln county against the
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad, to test
the validity of the reciprocal domur,
rage law passed by the Legislature of
1907.
The farmers elevator companies, 1t
is understood, have a bill for collec,
ton if the court approve the law. 1t
provides that shippers may have for
ty-eight hours to load and twenty-four
hours to unload cars and for all time
over must pay 81 a day.
Tie railroad companies are required
to furnish cars to be loaded within
seventy-two hours, must start loaded
cars toward destination within TWEEN
ty-four hours, and must forward cars,
loaded or u%nloaded, received by a con
Meeting line, within the same time, or
pay a penalty of 81 a day for all ex-

stroyed tissue, resulting from the
breaking down of the plant cells by
the parasitic fungus plant. The fungus
plant on the potato vine is as de-
pendent upon weather conditions and
food supply for development as is the
potato vine upon which it feeds and
lives.
1t will now be understood why some
potato growers associate the rapid de-
velopment of this disease with the re-
currence of certain weather condi-
tions. The weather is made the cause
of the disease, although no account
is taken of the presence of the little
fungus plant which may have been

the Rural Driver.
Chris Hanson, carrier on a rural
mail delivery route running out of
WakoLd ia, was the victim of a peculiar
accident. While driving along the road
with his mail wagon, he drove over
a heavy section of a board which
struck the ground slantingly, the up
per end catching under the mail wag-
on in such a way as to tip over the
vehicle, throwing the horse upon it's
side and throwing Hanson and the
mail sacks violently to the ground.
Hanson was badly shaken up, and for
a time thought he had been injured
internally. While he was attempting
to right the mail wagon, the horse
struggled to its feet and being great
ly frigh> ened by the mishap, dashed
madly away, completing the wrecking
of the harness and vehicle. Notwith-
standing the inimal's fright, force of
habit was so strong with it that upon
res ching the next mail box 1t came to
a standstill and awaited the arrival
of Hanson.

Disking Land.-Few men realize the
great advantage to be secured in disk
ing land before breaking for corn.
Where corn Is to follow corn a
weighted disk harrow can be used, not
only for a stalk cutter, but for a pull
verizer of the surface and the saving
of the humus of the corn stalk, which
is lost where they are burned, to-
gether with the greater ease with
which the land can be broken make
such a method of handling very desir-
able. One of the greatest benefits.
however, comes from the much better
connection that is made between the
bottom of the furrow and the turned
soil where the layer that Is turned
under is pulverized instead of hard
and cloddy, rs is too often the case.
