TWO BOYS KILL
SEVENTY RATTLERS

Pierre, S. D.-The strongest snake
story which has yet come i'm from
the west-river country is that of two
Saucerman boys, who put in a day
at snake hunting near Haynes, and
came in at evening time with seventy
sets of rattlers TO show what they
had done toward Kidding that section
of the country OF these crawling
pests. The snakes We're found about
a dog town where they had gathered
for winter quarters, and We're out
summing themselves about the town.

GOOD
ON IRRIGATION
WHEAT ON SCOTTY PHILLIPS
RANCH GOES 30 BUSHELS AND
OATS 80 BUSHELS.

Pierre, S. Deco. Phillip of Ft.
estate tells about he success OF the
first years attempt at irrigating the
Missouri bottom below the buffalo
pasture by pumping water from the
Missouri.
About 500 acres We're cultivated
this season, most Of it raw prairie
sod. Due to a late sart the %irrigating
was not done quite as it should be,
Vet the financial return has been
most gratifying.
Thirty-fve bushels per acre of fine
quality wheat was n crop. The corn,
which was run into a silo. was report
ed to be magnificent, but could not
be measured. The oats is estimated
at from so TO 100 bushels per acre in
ending a considerable plot which re
ceived no artificial water. The pota-
toes We're immense.
This is the first attempt on any
large scale TO irrieate in this central
region by pumping, and the expert
ment has beer watched with great
interest. The pumping plant is of .
capacity to elevate sufficient water tt
! irrigate the whole bottom, from it
site to the city OF FIT. Pierre, a dis
lance of about five miles, and Will
this will not be attempted next sea
son, the cultivation of the entire trac
is the ultimate purpose. The land lie:
Immediately adjacent TO the famou
buffalo pasture, to which hundreds
of tourists journey annually.
1t is hoped the location will prov
a valuable advertisement OF the fer
tility of central South Dakota soil
where water can be suitably applied

an agent of benefaction to the other

He had been appointed to pass on the

Mr.. E. S. Johnson says thai III
elected governor he will reduce the
burdens of taxation. Granting that
this would in some measure lay with
in his power it is pertinent to ask
where he would begin. AT present it
costs South Dakota 1928 ,020.1G d
year to pay all the expenses of state
government, including the salary and
expenses OF all officials, the legisla-
ture, the courts, public printing and
every item paid by the state for all
purposes except the betterment and
maintenance of the state institutions,
such as the various schools, and pen
al and charitable institutions.
To offset this expenditure of $323,-

different departments of state and
