Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Dillman spent
a few days this week visiting at the
home of Mrs. Dillman's grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. r. Stowe. Mr.. Dill
Imam, who is in the service of the
department of agriculture, has been
in Washington, ID. c., during the win

A. Howes, whose farm is near
Pierre, has found that his alfalfa re-
turn on a twenty-acre tract for last
year was 1852, or $132.60 per acre,
for a mighty dry year. While Mr..
Howes made probably a little better
showing than some of the other al
falfa growers, 800 an acre per year
is not excessive. No wonder Prof.
Hansen's work along alfalfa lines is
being watched with interest.

hear him again.
Coach Temple of the college issued
a call to the track and baseball can
didates Monday and the biggest squad
in the history of college athletics
responded. Fifty men reported for
track training and twenty-five men
for the base ball squad and the out
look for both teams is most promis-
ing. The old boosting spirit seems
to be in evidence at the college and
this means winning athletic teams
in the next few years.
