Yesterday was the coolest day of the
winter, the government thermometer
at the college registering 80 below zero
early in the day. Sunday was a thaw-
ing day, but Monday it grew suddenly
cold and that night and Tuesday morn
ing three or four inches of snow fell.
1t is not SO cold today and will likely
be thawing again by Sunday.
Prof. N. E. Hansen, who has been
in Russia and Siberia for the Depart
ment Of Agriculture the past several
months, is expected to arrive home

layed and will likely be here the lat
ter part of this week or the first of
next week.
The State college opened Monday
after the holiday vacation. A large
number of new students have enter
ed and yesterday the total enrolment
was $50. This is in advance of the
figures of last year, and there is every
prospect that it will be largely in
creased. New students are coming in
on every train, and the attendance
should be I'VE the 500 mark next
week.
The farmers of the county should
not forget the annual institute Of -
Brookings County Farmers Institute
association, the program of which We
printed in full last week, which will
begin at the opera house next Tues
day and continue or the balance of
the week. This will be the best insti-
tute in the state this year, provided
the farmers do their part and attend
the meetings, and in this way only
can the best results be obtained.

gether they will have the hearty con-
CALCULATIONS and best wishes of their
many friends.
