During Mr.. Wilson's connection
with the college he has been instru-
mental in starting the short courses,
and the Annual Farmers Excursions
to the college. His services as an eX-
pert judge Of live stock have been
recognized by Iowa, Minnesota and
North and South Dakota State Fair
associations and he has also judged
stock at the Tri-State Fair at Sioux
City and at many county fairs. The
stock interests of the Northwest are
particularly fortunate in having the
services of so enthusiastic and prac-
tical a stockman among them at this
time when stock is fast coming from
our ranges to the farm, and purely
grain farming sees as it never has be
fore the Importance if not impera-
tive necessity of more stock on the
farm.
The State college of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts at Brookings is to be
congratulated Upon having at the head
of the Experiment station work as
web as at the head Of the college it's
self, young men in the prime OF life,

the great producing powers Of the
state than any other part of the great
institution; and the Importance Of hav-
ing the director of this part of the
work thoroughly familiar, not only
with scientific experimental work, but
with the farm md farm life and CON
ditiOns themselves canno be Overes-
timated. Right here Director Wilson
is strong, and his exceptional training
along these lines brings him closer
to the farmers, the farmers boys and
to the stockmen of the state than any
amount of school training away from
the farm could. And here we might
add, that the many young men, and
others, who are just beginning to i'm
prove their stock, or to put stock more
extensively into their farm economy,
cannot afford not to consult with Mr..
Wilson freely whenever they are in
any way uncertain as to what is the
very best thing for them to do. They
will always find this busy man willing
and anxious to render them every pos
sible assistance, even TO the extent
of visiting them upon their farms and
comforting and advising with them in
their own barnyards.

KIND WORDS FOR WILSON.

the State college,:
James w. Wilson, director Of the

is one of the strong men sent out by
the farms of Iowa to the very front

breeding in the Northwest,

on his fathers farm in Tuna coun-

experience, is second to few. Young
Wilson graduated from the Sta5e Az
ricultural college in 1896, and two
years later received the degree OF
Master Of Science from the same
school. The position of assistant pro-
fesGor of Agriculture was rendered
him shortly after, and he filled this
place with credit until he accepted
the private secretaryship to the sec
rotary of agriculture at Washington.
His three years work III this capan
ity afforded exceptional opportunities
FOR getting in close touch with the
various branches of this great work,
which his father, the present secre-
tary of agriculture, has brought to SO
high a plane. During this time he
was made a member of the Inter

TWAS PLAIl CASE OF
 MISTAKEn IDENTITY

There was merry war on at the courthouse last week just because somebody mistook bundle of logs be-. longing to Teddy Miles for logs be- longing to George Blanschio and Mike Dawson, or to state it adversely, some- body mistook Teddy Miles for Mike Dawson and grabbed Teddy's logs, whereat the latter let out long and painful vail that was heard all through the courthouse.
 U. M. Dicley ct al. were in court with complaint whereby they alleged that George Branschio owed them S230. They sued out an attachment and the levy was made upon the logs belonging to Teddy as aforesaid.
 Then Blanschio and Dawson came in and confessed judgment, getting there just before Miles, who came in to reg ister the aforementioned heller about the officers of the law who were trying ,o take his logs away from him on debt he didn't owe.
 With matters in this pleasant tangle, the attorneys-J, s. Harding for plaint- ifs and Judge J. C. Moody for Miles went to the mat and fought it out while judge and jury refereed the bout.
 Harding had confessed judgment and an attachment on logs that did not belong to the defendants. Moody's client owed no bill but his logs were led by duly piastered writ of attach ment. Harding sought to show that there was some sort of connivance going on in an effort to beat him out of his attachment, but after seven dozen witnesses more CT less had been exam ned, the court finally concluded that there was no warrant for holding Miles logs to pay Blanschio and Dawson S lebt, and accordingly ordered the at tachm ent dissolved.
