STATE Will HAVE PLENTY OF
DIVERSIFIED FARMING DUR.
ING PRESENT YEAR.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From tho Capital City, TIE various
state Institutions and Oh,
ferent Parts Of the
State.

Pierrc.-Dversity OF agricultural
endeavor appear to be the Keynote
for the people of South Dakota for
the year 1912. This is to be shown
in many different ways. Not only In
the indications toward the increase in
variety of production Of the state, but
also in the means of transformation
Of the products into merchandise
crops within the border of the state.
In this line might be mentioned the
heavy increase in the acreage which
will be devoted to irrigation within
the state this year. Thousands of
acres along the streams OF the west
ern part of the state are being pre-
pared for this of cultivation,
many of those who are preparing for
the carrying of water to their lands,
making such preparations as they may
as a matter of insurance.
If the rains fall at the proper time
the irrigation will not be needed. If
there comes a time when there is a
shortage of moisture just when the
moisture is most needed for the per-
feet crop. they will be in a position
to supply the need. This very fact is
calling out another method Of develop
ment in that of picking and canning
plants. The irrigation work has at
tracted managers of such industries,
and one large picking firm has agreed
to put in a plant at Fort Pierre in
case the people of that town will guar
antee such an acreage OF the products
they need so as to assure them Of
the required "a material. The irriga-
ton is a step toward such insurance.
Another is in the line Of canning
plants, a proposition having been
made to open such an industry in this
city with the came assurance as have
been asked of Fort Pierre for their
plant. and as there already is a large
acreage along the river on this side
prepared for irrigation. and other
acreage which can cheaply and easily
be placed in that list, the indications
are that the assurance will be given.
In the southwestern part Of the
state, the raising of sugar beets is to
be given a practical trial this year.
A Nebraska sugar mill furnishing the
eeed and instructions as to the best
manner of raising and hauling the
product. with a tentative promise that
if the South Dakota product proves to
be as desired that a mill will follow.
Then the alfalfa products PROPOSE
ton which is established at Hot
Springs is another proposition which
will mean a great deal to the state.
While the promoters of that plan are
enthusiastic, and their plan is largely
experimental as yet, they insist that
they have a proposition which will
mean thousands, and a heavy increase
in alfalfa acreage all over the state.
These along with the growth of the
dairy interests, mean that from this
time on the state expects to manufac-
ture many of its products instead OF
shipping them in the raw state" and
secure the benefits OF such manufac'
ture.

WHAT THE FLY COSTS

Boston Post: The monthly bulletin
of the New York City BOARD of health
presents some rather Stupendous esti-
mates of the material cost to the com
munity of the summer invasion Of flies
and mosquitoes. Taking alone the loss
through typhoid. of which disease the
ny is recognized conspicuously as a
carrier. this is placed as an annual
decrease in the vital assets of the
country" of more than S35O. 900 900
There are other items In the sched
ule Of rather startling character
The sum of $10,OOO.OO0 it is figured. is
paid annually for screens upon dwell
inss to keep out the flies. And vet
enough of them get by the screens Ia
work 35O.O00,000 damage.
Evidently we have begun al the
wrong end to swat the fly" effectively
And this fact has come to be widely
recognized. 1t is prevention of breed.
ing. rather than extinction of the race
after the annual generation has been
brought forth, to which attention is
directed. IF the fly is not born there
Is no beginning to his pestilential ca
reer; he is non-existent. And the sue.
cess which has attended measures TAX
en- for the suppression of the mosquito
in the neighborhoods hereabout would
seem to indicate the desirability OF
similar methods in the treatment OF
the house fly.

sTUDEBAKER CARS FOR
POSTOFFICE RURAL WORK

A Studebaker ago" is figuring In a
test which will be continued for the
next 80 days by Postmaster Harrison
of Los Angeles in an effort to demon
strate the efficiency of the automobile
over the horse in the postoffice depart
ment. The car was delivered to Har
rison, together with driver, and will
be used twelve hours every day until
all data will be carefully compiled and
sent to Washington FOR official inspec-
ton.
The little car was rendered Harri-
son for the test by Sales Manager Will
liam La Casse Of the local Studebaker
retail branch. Because of the careful
check. which must be kept on fuel
| consumption, miles travelled and 9th her
| features of the daily twelve hours, it
to the equipment of the machine
Postmaster Harrison expects that it
l
Washington for the purchase of sew
! eral of the cars to install at once in
his new system.
| Several Studebaker cars are now be-
! ing used by the government through
| out the west. In the Indian reserva-
| tions the little "twenties" are furnish ed
| all the heads of the departments, and
| in the reclamation work they have
| been found necessary in allowing the
| engineers to get from one place to an
| other without loss of time.
| There is no reason why we should
| not use motor cars in our mail syS-
TEN instead of horses" said La Case
in speaking of the test of the motor
car. The largest firms in the world
! have cast aside the horse and adopt
ed the motor car system, and they find
| that it pays. I~believe that as soon "a
the thirty days test is over it will
show such a great saving and in
creased efficiency in the department
| that the automobile will be adopte
| at once. We are giving the Stude
baker all the hard treatment possible
It is hard to tell how many horses
! would have to be used in the same
| work"

EXPOSE BY THE PRESS
SAVES COUNTY HUNDREDS

When there was presented to the
supervisors by o. b. Tout a bill for
SS26 for printing the indices to the
great register for the primaries, in
cluding 1000 names, the Press called
the attention of the supervisors to the
excessive nature of the bill and ask ed
that bids be called for printing the in
dices for the general election.
The supervisors cut the bill from
$S26 to $500 and adopted the sugges-
toin of the Press that bids be called
for.
The result of this was that the con-
tract was bid in by o. B. Tout for Az
cents a name, or $3.50 for the same
work for which he presented a bill
less than a month ago for SS26
In having brought about an award
Of this work on business basis, the
Press has saved the county hundred
of dollars a year and has thereby ac-
complished its full purpose.
