Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-04-08

Besides having a good education, he
has had many years Of successful ex-
p~erience in school wook. For four
years he was instructor in Augustana
college, and then for a period of eight
years he was principal Of the Canton
city schools. He is now serving as
county superintendent Of schools of
Lincoln County in his second term.
The fact of his having had a con-
tinuous experience in school work for
a period of sixteen years In the same
locality affords convincing proof that
he is an educator Of the first rank.
1 am fully convinced that If Prof.
Lawrence is elected to the office of
State superintendent he will pre-
form the duties of the Office with the
same ability and fidelity that have
characterized his work as a teacher
and superintendent of schools in
Lincoln County.
He believes that our school should
provide education not only for the
head but also for the hand and heart
as well, and therefore It is certain
that he will work for the promotion
OF moral and industrial education
in our schools.
In conclusion let me say that I am
very much pleased to recommend
Prof. Carl G. Lawrence Of Canton to
fho v0torc If Corth nal<o%~ -.u
who Is exceptionally well qualified to
ill the important position of state
superintendent and I sincerely hope
that he will be elected to the office to
which he Is aspiring. Respectfully
Gustav n. Bruce.

Dear Editor;

Dear Editor:
Permit me to say a few words to
the voters of South Dakota through
the medium Of your excellent paper
relative to the candidacy OF G. g.
Lawrence for State superintendent
Of Public Instruction.
All right thinking American citi.
zens are surely agreed that we need a
man for this position who has had a
good education, who has had consider
able successful experience in teaching,
and who possesses a character found
ed on high moral principles. From
my intimate Acquaintance with Prof.
Lawrence Of several years standing !
know that he fultills these demands
In every particular.
He was born In Madison, Wis. Jan.
IL, 1871. His father was a "Semina-
rist" from Telemarken, Norway, who
came to America in 1S43. He taught
parochial and English school for many
years in Illinois and Wisconsin until
obliged to give up teaching on account
OF poor health. With much industry
young Carl worked his way through
the common and high schools OF
Madison, and also through the
University of Wisconsin, from which
institution he was graduated in 1894
with the degree Of Bachelor of Letters.
Later he did postgraduate work at
the same univer ,ity during two
summer terms. Thus It Is seen that
he d possessed Of = we'll rounded
education.

SEED CORN BECOMING A SERIOUS
QUESTION
Tests Show That Only Smal
Portion OF 1909 Crop Is UP
TO the Standard.

Sioux City Tribune: Too much
publicity can not be given the warn
ing issued by Professor Holden re-
garding the condition of last years
corn and the care that is necessary IN
selecting corn for seed, think grain
dealers in Sioux City who have been
paying particular attention to asst
years crop. 1t is pointed out that
the weather during Oct, Nov, n
Dec, last year was very u~nfavorable
for the proper curing of corn as the
result of which the terminating
quality of a large proportion OF it
was badly injured.
Professor Hold en- has advised test
my every ear of corn before any or
the kernels are used for seed. That
there is necessity for so doing is shown
in the test taken by farmers and
grain men in the vicinity OF Sioux
City.
Fields & Slaughter company, who
operates several elevators in Nebraska
Iowa and South Dakota, have taken
a large number Of tests of corn furnish
ed by at various stations,
using Professor Holden's tester. At
one station, out of 339 kernels there
we're only 101 kernels OF good corn.
At another station where 2,O55 kernels
were tested only 744 were OF strong
vitality. The corn furnished was
raised in 1909.
1t is probable that farmers can
secure better corn by using the 1908
crop if carefully testing it. The 1908
crop of corn was Of much stronger
vitality than last years corn and with
proper sorting should give bette:
results.
AS one bushel of corn should raise
from 400 to 500 bushels. corr growers
can we'll afford to pay a good price
for the right kind OF seed corn espe
cially when they are able to sell theiI
crop at so to 60 cents per. bushel az
they have done of recent years,
