'T he national drainage congress

movement that viii reclaim more than
100000 acres Of swamp and over
flow lands, add tI!lions to the national
Vealth and greatly promote public
health by destroying the breeding
places for disease
"Wb-le our section is likely to have
too little rather than too much water,
there are 750, 900 swamp acres In the
three states, about $50 900 in each.
Drained and reclaimed they will add
at the very lowest estimate $50 an
2tre TO the annual crop values, in ad-
dition we should be interested because

the storing of flOod waters in the up

Wolves Very Plentiful.

Pierre.-Buyers of wolf bounty certi-
icates for payment out Of the appro-
priation for the beginning Of the next
fiscal year are not likely to get more
hal so cents on the dollar. Last year
the payments under the apportionment
law were only 55 cents on the dollar,
and for hal year up to the 25th OF
January the claims filed had reached
but S5,966, while up to the same date
this year they are up to S9,951. If
that ratio continues through the year
the percentage of, payment will not
come up to so per cent of the face of
the certificates. Fall River county ap-
pears to be good wolf hunting grounds
this winter. The total amoun of
claims from that county for last ear
went up to 81 800, and so far this year
they are up to $4,530.

Pierre-Diversfty OF agrlcuitu'a

fo,. the people of South Dakota '''
the zeal 1912. This is 10 pe snO"A
in many different ways. Not Only -
the indications toward the increase IL
variety Of production of the state pu'
also in the means OF rahslorHAa'iCH
of tho products into merchahI"D'e
crops within the border or the state'
In this line might be mentioned Ihe
heavy Increase in the acreage WHICH
will he devoted to irrigation Wlthlll
the state this year. thousands Oh
acres along the streams OF the "eS'
ern part of the state are belhS pre-
pared for this manner OF "cultlNauoh'
many of those who are preparing loi
the carrying of water TO- their ldnuS'
making such preparations as they lnay
as a matter of '~insurance.'
IF the rains fall at the proper tlne
the irrigation will not be needed. II
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 TACT Is
calling out another method Of develop
ment in hat 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 raw material. The lrrlga-
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
teen 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 viii 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
seed 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, NEAR that from this
time on the state expects to manufac-
ture many Of its products instead OF
shipping them in the raw state AID
secure the benefits of such manufac-
ture.

FOREIGN Potatoes unfit for Seed.

o. L. Martin of piainfield, state com.
missioner Of agriculture, has issued tht
following warning to farmers in Yer.
mont:
Large quantities of foreign grown pc,
tatoes are being received in this country
Their fine appearance and reasonable
oheapness, in comparison to home grown
is a strong temptation for many Of our
farmers to use them for seed. Don't do
it. In testing more than one hundred
varieties, our national department has
proven that they do not equal home
grown seed as producers. The great dan
ger, however, is in introducing new dis.
eases as yet unknown here.
The most dreaded is the "wart dis
ease" Bulletin No. 81 of the bureau
OF plant industry and farmers bulletin
4S9 OF the department of agriculture,
Washington, fully describe the same.
spongosposa scab, black leg and leaf
curl are Others.
The danger from these disease is not
limited to . single season, as soils once
infected remain unfit for potato culture
for many years.
Summary: ~ Foreign grown potatoes
should under no circumstances be used
for seed potatoes ~ Such potatoes
are not adapted to our soils and eli
mate and will not return profitable
yields. e. Several serious diseases not
now prevalent in this country are al
most certain to be introduced if such
stock is used for seed.
