South Dakota Homesteaders and
Ranchers Will Join I'm Hunt In the
Bad Lands.
Sioux Falls, S. D.-The territory
adjacent to the Bad Lands soon will
be the scene OF one of the greatest
wolf and coyote roundups in the his
tory of the northwest
Several hundred homesteaders and
small ranchers of the region will
participate, and they hope the wolves
and coyotes will be annihilated or
driven from the region
The wolves and coyotes have in
creased in numbers rapidly in the last
three years. For some time they
have been causing heavy losses to
homesteaders and ranchers by kill
ing their young stock. Some of the
gray wolves have become so bold as
to enter the yards of the settlers and
carry away small calves.
Up to a few years ago the region
was occupied by cattlemen and sheep
men and their herds. The stock
men employed wolf and coyote hunt
ers, and these were able to keep the
number of wolves and coyotes at the
minimum.
But with the passing of the stock
men and their herds and the occu-
pancy of the range country by home
steaders and small ranchers no sys-
tematic warfare has been made on
these scourges, and they have rapidly
increased in numbers.
The roundup will be conducted
along the same lines as former cat
tie roundups in the region. Every
foot of country over wide area will
be carefully gone over by the mount
ed and armed homesteaders and
ranchers. who will provide themselves
with such wolfhounds as can be found
| in the country.

Macon, Ga.-A curious mistake

POSTOFF|CE WILL CLOSE
NEXT SUNDAY, JULY
Postmaster Allen Receives InstruC-
tiOns from Postal Department
to Give Clerks and Carriers
Day of Rest.

In response to the petitions by the
patrons of the Pullman postoffice
sent to the postoffice department re-
questing the closing of the local Of
fee on Sundays, Postmaster Allen is
in receipt of instructions to effect
such closing as soon as practicable.
In compliance with these in
structions the carriers windows will
on July 9th be closed to service the
first time. Two weeks following this
date the general delivery window
also will be closed.
The custom of Sunday closing is
becoming prevalent throughout the
United States and is advised by the
postmaster general. 1t is his belief
that within a short time all postof-
flee employees will have the deserved
one day of rest a week This will in
no way dispense with the delivery of
mail through boxes nor the dispatch
ing of mail. Nor is it designed to
deprive any one of the privilege of
securing important mail. For the
delivery of such important mail as
will need immediate attention the
same can be secured upon giving a
description of it, and the deposit of
the regular special delivery fee. Fur
Their, it is believed that those who
receive sufficient mail that requires
immediate attention will be justified
in the expense of renting box from
which they can secure mail at any
time.
Collection from city lock boxes
will remain effective as heretofore.
The activity of the patrons in Sc
curing this arrangement is greatly
appreciated by our local postoffice
force, and it can be seen that
none need suffer inconveni ence by its
establishment.

with total of 223 stops, reaching
So, 1913 people. Through the farm
ers' institute and extension work the
college has come in direct contact
with more than $1,000 of the people
of the state during the past two
years. AS to the value of this sort
of work, one orchardist at Waits
burg states that the instruction and
| advice which he has received from
the farmers institutes and demon
stration trains has been actually
worth to him $500 per year.
In addition to these lines of work,
there are ten demonstration farms
under the supervision of Mr. Sparks.
These are doing much to bring i'm
proved methods favorably before the
communities in which they are To-
Gated.
1t is but fair to say that to the
present time, nearly all of our insti-
tute work has been done by college
| and station men. They have given
their services gladly, but it is
neither fair to them nor to their
| regular work that this should be so.
1t was intended to add domestic
science to the regular institute work
hereafter, but the legislature deem
ed this unwise and the plans were
modified. That the demand for this
subject is already very strong can
not be questioned Last year when
planning one of the big demonstra-
tion trains, a dom este science car
was suggested as part of the equip
ment. The traffic manager of the
line at once advised that the domes-
tic science car should be left out, or
the train abandoned. I'VE are not
going to turn this into a sewing
bee" This spring a domestic science
car formed an important part of
our demonstration train north, and
more than met all expectations. 1t
received the hearty approval of both
the railroad and college authorities.
In addition to the domestic science,
some special work for the boys and
girls was to begin, but this was not
encouraged.

State College

Only one boy or girl out of 500
ever enters an agricultural college.
During an average year not more
than 1000 Washington farmers visit
their State College and only $4,000
of them have asked to receive its
bulletins. Many of these do not
read their bulletins carefully. This
is the situation in most states and
confronting our leaders is the very
pertinent question, How can we
make the work of our agricultural
colleges more effective"
Dean Carlyle, of the University of
Idaho Agricultural College, says that
/ in most localities farm practice is 20
years behind agricultural knowledge.

Educate the man who lives on the
land the evils relating to the spoil

stream will speedily be corrected. "

practice, to increase production, to

the farmer in securing that informa-
ton most vital to his success and
welfare, to aid the farmers wife in
II n hn ST. Iur -
home, to help make available for
our boys and girls the sort of an
education which will enable them to
understand and appreciate their own
everyday surroundings, teach them
to utilize the countless advantages
| they possess, to help them to become
men and women of such large heart
and broad understanding, that the
open country will command their
best and the town will not be able
to confine them and restrict their
growth-these are some of the
problems demanding attention from
the extension worker.
Agricultural extension work
means taking the experimenter's re-
suits and the agricultural instruc-
tors knowledge to the farmer, in
such form that he recognizes it's
truth and value, in such a manner
that he is persuaded to incorporate
it into his own system and make 1t
part of his own practice The
field is as wide as agriculture itself.
The work to be done is limited only
by the ability of the worker and the
support accorded him.
People throughout the state are
acquainted with the college farming
demonstration trains. This year we
are holding institutes in every part
of the state. Several communities
are asking for short course schools,
while nearly every week we are re-
quested to send college man to adj
dress dairy meetings, oranges and

tanned right royalty. Visitors came
to Pullman from every direction and
the grangers were out in force. The
celebration was opened with music
by the band, under the leadership of
Prof. w. b. Strong, at 8 o'cock, and
from that time until late at night
there was not a hitch in the pro-
gram. The morning program was
held at Reaney's park, and the
beauty spot was filled to overflow

ton of independence was read by
Miss Martha Hinchliff, and was fol-

white child born in Whitman coun-
ty, and Jas. Perkins, of Colfax, who
came to Whitman county In 1870.
At IL o'clock big picnic dinner was
held in the park.
The QUOT contest, which took
place at Reaney's park, was probably
the most interesting of the sports. The
contest was held under the direction
