SOUTH
SOIL SURVEY

MENT.
A COLLEGE ASSISTED
WESTERN PART OF THE STATE
HAS A VERY RICH SOIL.

Last summer the bureau Of soils o
the United States Department of Agr.
culture, assisted by the agronomy de
peartment Of the State college, mad.
a reconnaissance survey Of the stat,
west of the Missouri river A dis
patch from Washington gives the fol
lowing account OF the report of the
survey:
Only a few years ago the great area
of plains stretching east from the foo
Of The Rocky mountains was consider
ed practically a desert, entirely unfit
ted for farming. The rainfall was
thought to be too little for the success
full prosecution of agriculture, except
the raising of horses. cattle and sheep.
As the land open for homestead fartb-
or east was exhausted prices contin-
ued TO rise and the demand for free
or cheaper land caused the settlers to
push farther and farther west. Limi-
ted experiments indicated that many
crops could be successfully grown by
proper methods Of moisture conserve
ton, and this caused the interest in
the development Of this vast area
greatly to increase. To-day thousands
of settlers are going into this region
with the intention Of making perman-
ent homes.
This movement into the great plains
region created a demand for accurate
and reliable information in regard to
the soils and agriculture possibilities
in different parts of this extensive
section and led the secretary of agri-
culture and Prof. Milton Whitney,
chief of the bureau OF soils, to order
a reconnaissance survey Of this region
for the purpose of determining the
character of the soils and Of indicating
the areas where agricultural operation
can be carried on with the greatest
degree Of success. The work by the
bureau of soils, which was begun with
the survey of the western half of North
Dakota i'm 1908, was extended this year
in cooperation with the South Dakota
experiment station to include all OF
South Dakota west of the Missouri
river. embracing an area of more than
AZ. 900 square miles. The field work
has been completed and Mr.. George
n Coffey, who had charge Of the work,
is now engaged in getting the map
ready FOR the photographers and in the
preparation of a report covering the
work which has been accomplished.
When completed about 5000 copies will
be published by congress for free dis
tribution. 1t takes, however, several
months to get reports ready for distri

LiNCOLN'S DAY.

The twelfth day Of February, nine
teen hundred and ten, will mark the
one hundred and first anniversary OF
the birth Of the great American mar
tyr, Abraham Lincoln. In Difference
to the work which this wonderful
American has accomplished and in ap.
probation of his remarkable personal.
ity, | deem it fitting that the citizens
OF the state OF South Dakota should
observing the coming anniversary with
special and appropriate exercises, and
thus honor themselves and the Com
monwealth by honoring the memory Of
such a man. The simple story Of his
wonderful iife is familiar to you and
to all the world, and as each year
passes, the character of Lincoln APP
pears grander and more heroic.
In all history there is none more
fearless, more rugged. Oh more Iowa

OF intellect and character which he
displayed during his lifetime receive
the added respect and admiration Of
all Americans. He was a plain man
Of the people and always an American,
never crossing the sea and knowing
nothing of foreign languages.
The whole universe held for him but
two facts-God, the Creator, and man,
made in His image; and his life is a
record of the triumph of good over
evil He advanced slowly, step by
step, but his way was always onward
and at last he reached the goal.
Our national freedom and unity

we cannot pay. In respect to his
memory and in consideration of the
fact hat our State Legislature has
set aside the twelfth day Of February
as a legal holiday for the purpose of
fostering the true spirit Of patriotism
and loyalty:
Therefore, | recommend that the
public schools and all civil and social
organizations in our State join in APP
propriate ceremonies on that day, and
that all take some part in the proper
observance of the day.
In Testimony Whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused the Great
Seal of the State Of South Dakota to

ENUMERATORS
RATES OF PAY
CENSUS TAKERS WAGES ARE
FIXED.
NOT OVER $500 PER DAY
COMPENSATION DIFFERS IN THE
CITY AND COUNTRY.

A Washington dispatch says: The
varying wage scales in different part
Of the country and the differences in
the nature and extent of the local diff
ficulties confronting the enumerators
in the larger geographical DIVISIONS
Of the United States have Influenced
and guided United States Census Di-
rector Durand In the adoption Of q
classification Of enumerators' rates
Of compensation, within the limits
prescribed by the United States cen
sus law enacted by congress.
The different classes of, rates will
be so applied that in general the
average enumerator will earn substan-
TALLY the same actual amount in one
district as in another, even though
the population may be much sparser
in one than I'm the other, with other
conditions also different. Regard is
paid to the fact that prevailing wages
and salaries are higher in some parts
of the country than in others, but,
aside from this, the directors aim
is to adjust the rates so as to make
the earnings Of enumerators substan-
TALLY uniform. Where the per capita
rates would not give sufficient pay,
the per diem rates are prescribed.
The rates in general will be so ad-
justed as to give a slightly higher
average amount to the enumerators
than they received in 1900.
Per diem rates or pay Will be paid
to the census enumerators in the
sparsely settled rural districts Of
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Texas, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming.
The rate will range from SIS to So
per day for the enumeration of rural
areas outside Of towns and cities. Six
dollars Is the highest rate authorized
by law.
The director realizes that In many
districts In the far west il will be
impossible to cur competent men
to act as enumerators at a rate OF
compensation less than that being
paid for ordinary classes of work
IN the same area. Were enumerators
in such districts paid only ON the
per capita basis, their compensation
would be unreaSonably low.
The enumerators i'm the thinly in
habited country sections of North Da-
kota, South Dakota. Nebraska land
Kansas also will be compensated on
a per diem basis. Certain difficult
or sparsely settled enumeration dis
tricts in other states will be included
among those to which the per diem
rates Will apply, as the condition of
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1910-02-10

the enumeration will be such that an
enumerator could not make fair earn
ings at any Of the per capita rates
established.
This nnouncemen was made by
Census Director Durand recently, in
order TO counteract the deterrent eff.
feet upon applications for enumera-
tors places in the far west and south
west states Of the widely circulated
and statement that per
capita rates of pay We're to be given
in the s%parsely populated regions
named.

fact, not generally known to visiting
brethren, that Past Grand Gen. S. ].
Conklin had probably served more
years as an Odd Fellow than any 9TH
err man in the state or perhaps in the
United States, having been an Odd
Fellow when he was but twenty-one
years old; and he is now several
months past eighty years of age: Clark

that can beat it. He has also been a
Mason for more than half a century,
passing through a. its grades before
he was forty years old.
Gen. Conklin is also a remarkable
mar for his mental and physical pres
ervation; he stands as erect, his voice
is as strong and clear, his intellect as
bright and his d~eliycrey as fine as
twenty years ago. Such was the YER

NEW GOVERNOR
FOR NEW YORK
Horace White to Take Office
When Governor Hughes
Resigns.
HE DELAYS LEAVING

Albany, N. Y. Oct. 6e-Before this
week comes to an end the state OF
New York wifi have q new governor
In the person of Lieutenant Governor
Horace White, who VIII take the oath
of Office as soon as Governor Hughes
resigns to take a place on the bench
Of the United States supreme court, to
which he was appointed a few months
ago by President Taft.
The date for Governor Hughes re-
tirement was first set for today and
Mr.. White was at that time to have
taken the oath Of office, but pressure
Of business at Albany compelled Mr..
Hughes to change his plans. The ex-
act date on which he will vacate the
executive chair is not yet announced,
but it will probably be on Saturday.
Since Jan. i, 1907, Mr.. Hughes has
been governor, the present being his
second term. His election to Office the
first time followed a combination Of
parties. His reelection two years
ago was on the straight Republican
ticket.
During his first term as governor he
introduced his famous anti-betting

bill, aimed especially against the
gambling at the ace tracks. 1t was
known as the Agnew-Hart bill. The
legislature failing to pass it at the
regular session, Governor Hughes i'm
mediately called a special session to
take action on the bill. 1t passed
after a bitter fight by a margin of
one vote.
State Health Commissioner Eugene
Ell. Porter, Homer Folks and DR.. ST.
