ATTENTION ALL CORN FARMERS!

The Brookings County Farmers In
stitute association at their annual
institute to be held next winter will
give the following cash prizes in the
corn contest:
$500 for the best 10 ears of corn.
1900 for the end best 10 ears of corn.
1000 for the 3rd best 10 ears Of corn.
500 for the 4th best 10 ears of corn.
800 for the 5th best 10 ears of corn.
200 for the 9Th best 10 ears Of corn.
Now brother farmers and farmers
boys We expect not less than 300 per
cent. of you to make a try for these
splendid prizes.
The corn raised must be either
white or yellow dent corr not mixed
with other varieties and the score
card must tell the story of which
samples are the best. so it will be
well for you to get next and learn
what constitutes a perfect ear of corn,
"n1 also how to cultivate the cror
so as to produce these perfect ears.
Now, brother farmer, don't throw
this aside and say: Well! l won't try
because l have not got suitable land
for it.
viii you permit me to suggest a
way. Suppose you plant a forty acre
field Of corn. Disc the land before you
pillow it. This helps to retain the
moisture in the soil, also when plowed
it leaves 3 inches of fine soil in bot
tom of the furrow, this also
mixes the trash and soil so that there
is a better circulation Of the moisture
from the subsoil upwards. Harrow
while moist all the land as you pillow
it, the harrow attached to the gang
or sulk pillow is the best way. When
done blowing, take your spreader and
from your finest, best rotted manure
choose a rich spot in your orn field
and on this spot say one-half acre
spread at the rate of so loads Of man.
'ure per acre as a top dressing. Har-
row this over just before plant
ing at same time you harrow the
balance of the field. In this way you
are to no extra work and the extra
crop you will raise will more than
pay you besides this will put you in
touch with probably 300 other farm,
ers, who will enter the race. This
alone will pay and what will pay best
Of all will be the fact that 300 farm.
ers are interested in learning better
methods, and better crops on the
farm, and it is these things that make
the thoughtful farmers life the ideal
one to live.
Farmers, let us make our next
years corn contest the best in the
land.

GLEE CLUB ON CONCERT TOUR

AS We stated in the last issue of the
Collegian the Glee Club is now way on
it's second annual tour. During the
past week they have appeared before
we'll pleased audiences in Pipestone,
Mimi, Flandreau, Dell Rapids, Madi-
son, Lake Preston and De Smet, S. d.
At Pipestone the audience was rather
small because Of other attractions but
during the latter part of the week
the audiences were much better and
the first week may we'll be consider
ed highly successful. The Pipestone
paper had the following to say Of the
concert: "The South Dakota State
College Glee Club and Orchestra from
Brookings appeared at the Ferris
Grand Opera house last evening before

The orchestra was an especially pleas
ins feature of last nights program
and it was heartily applauded. The
otaer numbers of the program were
also we'll received"
Like comments have been made in
a. ihe newspapers along the line and
all Who hear the concert are enthusi-
astlc. The best musical entertain
meut ever given in our opera house
is a very common statement which
people who have heard the concert use
In telling their friends about the con-
cert. The work of the orchestra Is
especially liked in one place, while
the glees make a hit in other places.
The trombone work of Pratt always
pIeaSes while the solos by Prof. Chris
Jensen and Miss Cathcart are always
encored and enjoyed. The string trio
is also a strong number.
Wednesday Teddy Akin took the
entire company to Sioux Falls for a
few hours. The Sioux Falls trip was
but a short distance out of the regu-
lar course and the members of the
company enjoyed their short stay
there. At twelve o'clock the orchestra
gave a one hour concert in the Catar-
act hotel where they surprised and de-
lighted the many business and COM
mercial men with the high class music
rendered. The men encored heartily
and S. d. S. C. was again boosted in
a very material manner.
Sioux Falls is rapidly coming in
touch with our college and we can
reasonably expect a larger enrolment
of Sioux Falls students at this college
in the future.
Some Trip Items.
Bisby made an eleventh hour de-
cision to go to washington Springs
and take part in the Prohibition Ora
torical contest.
Gotthold imagined himself a duck
for a few minutes while at Elan
dreau.
The boys were all dizzy Wednesday
afternoon because they were obliged
to ride backwards in the train in or
de to keep Miss Cathcart's new hat in
sight. A poor show Wednesday night
was the result.
Gross struck his pace at Madison.
He ran fine the rest OF the distance.
At De Smet Messrs. Sloan and
Crothers entertained a la carte. What
carte? Cathcart.
"Swede'' Gilbertson saw his first

keeninp the DeYeil Out.

Some of the more out-of-the-way
parts Of Cornwall, England. car offer
many singular sights to the visitors.
None of these is more curious, how
ever, than that which is to be seen
in the small village of Veryan, in
the southern part of the county. On
each side of the main roads which
lead to the group of cottages clus-
tered round the church there are to
be seen certain queer-looking round
houses, each surmounted by a cross
These cottages were built with the
object of keep ing the devil out of
the village. More than one hundred
years ago the vicar of the parish vas
a certain Mr.. jeremiah Trist, a par
son who seems to have been a most
worthy man, though curiously super
stitious. In spite of all his endeav-
ors to make his parishionesr good,
it seems that the village folk did
not improve very rapidly, and he de-
cided that something mbust be done
to light matters. Accordingly, after
much cogitation, the famous round
houses we're built. With these in
position, protected by their crosses.
it was urged that the Evil One would
not dare to enter the village, and
therefore all would be well in Ver-
yam. Whether the good wears hopes
were realized it is, unfortunately, i'm
possible to say, but the houses stand
today as a singular instance of an
attempt to battle the powers of dark
ness.-From the December Wide

The California Oberammergau.
The annual play, given but once
by the Bohemian Club of San Fran
cisco in its grove, has now attained
the dignity of q sort of American
Oberammergau. The public are no
admitted to the performances, though
this has been frequently proposed.
1t is one of the few spontaneous
manifestations of a real aesthetic
spirit in the States, Is distinctiveiy
Californian in inspiration, and is sup
ported by the money, LOVING enthu-
siasm and talent of the club. The
plays are always the work Of some
literary member of the club, usually
a poet. The composer, the actors,
the mere stage hands, are all we'll
known, and often distinguished, Bo-
hemians. No expense Is spared, and
large sums are lavished on the single
performance. Compared to the nat
ural majesty of the effects achieved
in this awe-inspiring forest theater,
the triumphs of Gordon Craig and
Max Reinhardt appear almost trivial
and meretricious. There is no cur
tain, no footlights distort human
faces, there is no painted scenery,
and the various stages. n above the
other and masked by the natural
underground, have the advantage of
unlimited height overhead. The play,
the players. the lights, and the music
appear to be naturally engendered by
the very spirit Of the environment.
Every year many distinguished men
come from all parts o. the world to
be the guests OF the Bohemian Club.
Each of them on leaving confesses
that he has undergone an overwhelm-
ing emotional and aesthetic expert
ence which is a somewhat revelation.

Lloyd George and His Relations.
David Lloyd Georges relations
have played a great part in his life.
1t is, indeed, perhaps the most inspir-

his family seem to have formed
themselves into a league for his ad-
vancement. His uncle was In the
truest sense a second father to him,
His wife has never thought anything
a sacrifice which has helped to win
him fame. His brother-then junior
partner in the firm of Lloyd George
