ferent Parts of the
State.

Brookings.-That a new gooseberry
will soon be evolved especially ADAPT
ed to South Dakota conditions was as
serted to a reporter yesterday by Prof.
n. F.. Hansen, of the State College.
This new fruit will be far superior TO
anything now known for prairie coun-
try and will be developed from wlld
plants of the state and not from tame
varieties. Prof. Hansen is now max
ing an examination of the g~ooseberry
he has evolved from sixteen years OF
selection in improving the wild goose
berry Of the state. He finds that the
old Houghton has been greatly sur
passed in size, and that the best plants
compare favorably with the Downing,
Joselyn and Pearl, which are not hardy
enough fol this state. Prof. Hansen
states that the ideal ~goosberry has not
yet arrived, but that a decided ad-
vance has been made this season al
though the conditions have been I'M
favorable. Prof. Jansen invites people
interested in gooseberries in various
parts of the state to send him speci-
mems of the largest wild ~gooseberry
found in their vicinity and to mark
the bushes.

Washinxton.-With q practical
unanimous vote the senate passed the
most drastic campaign publicity meas
ure that was ever adopted by either
branch of the United States congress.
Using the prediction publicity bill
passed by the house Of representatives
as a basis, the senate constructed 4

portant features:

pled with more radical amendments,

elections required publicity of all pri-
mary election expenses and all pledges
Of political jobs or favors. Some OBJ
lection to this was made on the basis
that primary elections were not within

Farmers Want Alfalfa Plants.

Brookings.-Prof. N. E. Hansen of
the State College here states that his
promise of alfalfa plants to the farm
ers of the state has met with a very
satisfactory and unusual response.
Last spring he announced that he
would send ten alfalfa plants to the
first ten farmers in each county who
asked for them, and to date about 800
have applied. These plants have been
sent out over the state on the cond1
ton that they be we'll taken care OF
until established in the soil in order to
make a thorough test of their ability
to withstand dry and hard seasons.
The alfalfa plants sent out by Prof.
Hansen include many special varieties
resulting from long and careful plant
breeding. The interest in the work
is, in fact, nation wide, for the pro-
fessor constantly receives requests
from distant parts of the country for
these drought resisters. In this and
other respects the work of the State
College benefits the nation as well as
the state. In fact, part of the work of
the college m under the direction
of the federal government in connec-
ton with the United States expert
ment stations, one of which is located
at Brookings at the State College.
