1.-THE LEAGUE OF YOUTH"

The Dramatic club OF the college
has given. two performances. The
first was Shakespeare's jolly comedy
of Twelfth Night. This initial play
set up a double standard Of excel
lence, on the one hand Of the play,
on the other Of the presentation. The
second play, Mice and Men, nobody
would for a moment compare with
the poetry Of Shakespeare; but among
recent prose comedies it stands high,
and it's presentation did credit to the
actors. This years offering of the
club certainly has intrinsic signific-
ance, and shows no departure from
the policy OF the club to present
something that shall be intrinsically
worth while. In The League OF
Youth is given the chance to e a
work by the most influential of nine
teenth century play-wrights. Ibsen
as a world influence must rank with
Tolstoy, and has perhaps no peer
among the English speaking peoples.

AUTO COURSE AT COLLEGE.

The South Dakota State College
announces a departure from the Ordin-
airy in educational work in Offering
its new short course in practical au-
tomobile instruction to begin April
End. This course, which will con
tinue for three weeks, will be Of a
very practical nature and will be
devoted largely to the study Of the
construction, care, and operation of
the automobile. The professors of
engineering of the State College go
on the assumption that while almost
any one can manipulate an automo-
bile on the road, yet but few people
know how to operate a machine so as
to insure safety to the mechanism,
as well as economy in general run
ming expenses.
The State College will furnish plen-
ty of automobiles for giving each stu
dent practice in taking the machines
apart and after thorough eXanlina-
ton re-assemble them again ready
for use. Thorough instruction will
be given on the construction of the
automobile in all its minor details:
the gas engine and it's parts; ignition;
electrical systems: cooling systems,
and the mechanism in general. In
connection with this practical work
there will be given lecture courses by
the various professors in the depart
ment Of engineering on various types
Of engines and automobile machinery,
The engineering department also Of
fers a practical course on the relation
between the automobile and road
construction.
In as much as the charge for this
course will be only one dollar it is
expected that there will be a large at
tendance. There are no restrictions
the course is open to all who wish
to avail themselves of the opportunity
to obtain instruction from reliable
teachers. The State College is mail
ing out circulars describing the
course, to all who ask for them.

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

II. II. Stoner, superintendent Of
farmers Institutes, sends the Register
the following letter relative to the in
stitute to be held here next month:
"a Farmers Institute is to be held
in Brookings, March 5, 6, 7 and 8 at
the assembly room OF the city hall
and we especially desire that every
farmer tributary to BrOOkings be
presented at every session. The
Farmers Institutes in South Dakota
have come to stay. They carry to
the farmer the message of advanced
methods OF farming, OF better crops,
better stock and increased comforts
of the farm.
Each lecturer who will address
these meetings is a practical farmer
who has demonstrated on his farm
form. Not only do We desire the in
terest Of the farmer in these I~nstitu-

the t~ownspeople as well. Their inter

LET the business men Of Bookings
contribute to the success OF these
meetings by offering prizes for the
best farm products exhibited at these
Institutes and, in turn, let the farmer
show his appreciation OF this by bring
ing in the products of his farm so that
competition will stimulate interest
and lend to the educational purposes
Of these meetings. Let us all get to-
gether and make this one Of the best
Farmers Institutes that Brookings

NEW FRUITS AND ALFALFAS.

Prof. n. E. Hansen, head of the
horticultural department of the col
lege, and generally known as South
Dakota's plant wizard" has just is
sued his annual alfalfa and fruit bull
letin. This is of interest to every
farmer or fruit raiser in the state, and
may be had of Prof. Hansen for the
asking. 1t contains a list of the new
fruits originated by Prof. Hansen dur
ing the year and also tells of the
progress of his alfalfas. Prof. Han
sen gives his Alfalfa Platform"
which may differ from the views of
most people, but that makes very lit
tie difference to the professor. He
does not quarrel with anyone, but is
convicted of the righteousness of
his cause and time will without a
doubt bear him out. The platform
is as follows:
81. Hardness against severe cold
is a question of Heredity. No per-
fectly hardy alfalfa has ever been
developed in the mild climate of
southern Europe or southern Asia.
"2. The 'acclimatization' of a ten
der alfalfa is a myth. Acclimatiza-
ton is a sieve that Sits out less
hardy strains, but it does not put into
the sieve anything not there in the
first place.
"3. To develop a hardy strain of
alfalfa from a plant coming to us from
a mild climate is a ten-thousand-year
job. Hence, 1t is for Nature, not Maj
to do such work.

alfalfa only from climates similar to
our own in extremes OF winter cold

"5. This platform embodies my
alfalfa philosophy, formulated after
two and one-half years OF travel in
many lands, on four continents and
around the world. It Is so radial a
philosophy that I do not expect people
in general to agree with me, at pres
ent. But those disagreeing with these
views can not name a single hardy
variety developed from the old alfal

THE PRESIDENTIAL POLL.

Considerable interest has been
aroused by the Registers presidential
poll, although not a large number Of
votes have been received as yet.
Many spoke to us about the mat
ter and stated that they would vote
soon. Many have also enquired
whether it was necessary to use the
ballot published each week in the
Register. 1t is o necessary to use
this ballot, it being published simply
as a matter of convenience. All the
Register wants is your name and your
choice.
The vote so far received has indi-
Gated a decided leaning toward Roose-
welt. Maybe the friends of the ex-
president are more enthusiastic than
the followers of the other candidates,
but from the votes sc far received he
is very popular. However, as the
contest is to extend to March 14th
the result may be changed consider
ably.

DEMONSTRATION
FARM MOVEMENT
is EXPLAINED BY PROF. KERR,
AUTHOR OF BILL PASSED
BY LEGISLATURE
ONE FARM FOR EACH COUNTY IN S. D.
Is the Aim of the Bill Passed Last
Year-Prof. Kerr Urges Counties
to Take Up the Work

Prof. r. f. Kerr of this city, who
was the author of the Demonstration
Farm bill passed by the last legisla-
ture, is sending u the following
letters to county authorities over the
state relative to the matter. The
letter says:
Il wish to call your attention to
a Law hat was passed by our leg
islature last winter and desire to try
to get you interested in the PROPOSE
ton for the benefit of your county.
Up to the present time our state has
not been as active in promoting
better farming as some OF our sister
states and it is about time to inaugu-
rate some such movement. The OBJ
ject of this law is to establish a syS-
TEN of demonstration farms, at least
n in every county in the state, for
the purpose of demonstrating the
fact that our farms will yield greater
relative profits if operations are car
ried on according to the latest scien-
tific principles. The law referred to
is found under the head OF Demon
stration Farms on page 155 Of the
session laws of 1911. The law is self
explanatory and needs only a few
words of extra comment. BY refer
ring to the same you will see that
two plans are outlined, one for u
ties having county farms and the
other for those who are not so fortu-
nate in such matters. My purpose
in addressing you at this time is to
ask you TO call the attention Of the
county board to the matter and see
if they do not think that your county
ought to undertake the maintenance
Of such a farm and start in this year.
Some counties have already taken the
necessary steps for the establishment
be done Immediately if the PROPOSE
ton is to be carried out this year.
Will you help to make your county
one of the leaders in this movement?
AS oon as the requisite number Of
counties organize for this work a SUI
pervisor can be had by applying to
the regents Of education and there is
no reason why success cannot be as
sured this year. The states Of Kan
sas, Iowa, Minnesota and North Da-
kota have established such farms and
our state will have to take action
cultural race. The law is not as per
feet as it might be, but it is a starter.
There is a good basis to work upon
and the state authorities may make
more liberal provision for the carry
ing out of this movement in the near
future. Private enterprise is already
enlisted in the movement in North
Dakota, and many demonstration
farms are to be established in that
state this year. 1t behooves us to
get busy and take advantage Of our
present law without fail. If your
county should act in this matter it
should report to the regents OF educa-
ton who are to name the supervisors.
In case you desire any further infor-
nation in regard to the law I shall be
glad to furnish it, for I am deeply in
tereSted In the demonstration arm
movement. I want to see South Da-
kota get into line with other states"
