The Governor, for some time AFTER
his inauguration, refused to consider
any legislation of this character, and
II was not until urged by the under
signed. then Democratic State chair
man. and leagues formed by indie
pendent citizens in Camden and At
lantic counties, where election frauds
of unbelievable magnitude had been
perpetrated, that Wilson would pay
any attention to legislation of this
character.
1t was due to the above actions that
Investigations in Atlantic and Cam
den counties were begun. The under
signed sent the first Investigators into
these counties and drafted the Allan
tic county investigation committee
resolution, which passed the Assem-
bly, and created the special commits
sion which unearthed the colossal
crimes that had been committed.

in securing legislation of this char

ed by the February division of the
Ladies Aid Society. The room was
beautifully decorated in keeping with
the spirit of the eason and every
thing seemed to tend to the having of
a pleasant time.
After supper a program of toasts,
and music furnished by Professors
Christensen and Hedge accompanied
by Prof. Peterson and the Aggie male
quartet, was rendered to the delight
of all present. Rev. r. A. Bruce, who
is teacher of the class, acted as toast
master.
1t was voted to hold these events
monthly and the fellowship committee
was instructed to act accordingly.
Much of the credit for the success OF
this first banquet was due to their un-
firing efforts. Everybody went home
at ten o'clock convinced that what is
needed most was just to rub sleeves
together once in a while and learn
that there was a good side to most
everybody.

SUGAR BEET PRODUCTION

Wheat grown free of cost and worth
one dollar per bushel would have to
produce 140 bushels per acre in order
to equal the profit from one acre of
good sugar beets, for not only Is the
climate, soil and natural of
South Dakota adapted to the growing
of sugar beets, but this plant takes
practically none of the valuable con-
~stituents from the soil. The foregoing
statement Is based upon experiments
conducted by the chemistry depart
ment of the State College during the
past year, under the direction Of Prof.
j. H. Shepard.
In an interview with Prof. j. w.
Wilson of the State College, he said
in part: II believe that the sugar
beet industry will become one of the
principal industries Of South Dakota.
Experiments conducted at this station
indicate that our climate, u soil and
our natural are admirable
for the successful growing of sugar
beets. The by-product of a sugar
beet factory is very valuable to bal
ance the ration for the feeding of
steers and dairy cows, and the bene-
fits to be derived from the establish
ment of a single sugar beet factory in
South Dakota would be far-reaching."
Prof. Shepard, the chemist, gives
some interesting data: The tonnage
this year is averaging over "a tons
OF beets per acre, they are worth 81
per ton, while the cost Of production
Is about $22. The sugar alone Is
averaging around four tons per acre
for which grocers pay $40 per hun
dred pounds. "As for the effect upon
the SOIL" says Professor Shepard, ut
must be remembered that sugar comes
entirely from the air, and If the tops
are left on the ground and the sugar
pulp fed to stock, nothing is taken
from the soil. On the other hand,
beet roots penetrate very deep, eight
or ten feet, which opens the lower
soil and allows water to pass up and
down. Also, the deep cultivation
makes tho soil porus and increases the
yield OF subsequent crops. One plot,
after being used three years, was
plowed and sown to oats, and the
yield was better than 95 bushels per
acre"
The work as now carried on at the
State College covers three distinct

peare:
Some say that ever against that a
son comes,
Wherein our Savior's birth is cele-
brated
This bird of dawning singeth all night
long"
And do not be astonishcd to learn
that this bird that singeth all night
long is not a nightingale, but a roost-
er, 1.-The bird of dawning." All witches
must vanish upon the Growing of the
cock, so to keep the whole night sac
red, the rooster crows 'all night long
Our own poet, Longfellow, closes his
Tales of Wayside Inn," on Christmas
morning. Tennyson closes The Idyls
of the King" on Christmas morn; as
does Chaucer The Canterbury Tales"
and all three speak of the growing OF
the cocks.
And then, they say, no spirit can
walk abroad,
The night is wholesome, then no
planets strike,
No fairy tales, no witch hath power
to charm,
So hallowed and so gracious is the
time"
Even the lower animals are allowed
to talk with one another from twelve
to one on Christmas Eve, and the
whole world gives back the song,
which then the angels sang.
Whatever Christmas may be to us
grown ups 1t always has been, is yet,
and always will be a children's day
and too for other reasons than just be-
cause it brings fun, frolic and pres

purpose: 1-production Of high
grade seed; reproduction of seed in
commercial amounts; 3-cultural tests
to give best distances Of spacing, cul-
t%ivation, etc. at Is probable" Prof.
Shepard states, that South Dakota
has the best bred seed in the world.
In variety tests this year, none Of the
varieties gave less than 20 per cent
of sugar in the beet, and in some Of
the selected strains, some individuals
gave 24.S per cent Of sugar"
1t was further stated that the re-
gion of sugar beet production is not
entirely centered aroun the state ex-
perimental stations. During the
period Of the first experiments be-
tween 1888 and 1899, plats were test
ed in various parts of South Dakota
and the results were very satisfac-
tory. Twelve to twenty tons Of beets
per acre were produced at a cost Of
$35 per acre, the cost Of hand labor
being high. These beets were worth
Sc per ton, which left a handsome
profit, even though the cost of pro-
duction was enormous In 1908 the
work was resumed in cooperation
with the u. s. Department of Agricul-
ture for the purpose of breeding up
strains of sugar beet seed that would
give a good tonnage with a high per
cent Of sugar, with the added quality
of hardness. Since 1911 the college
has carried on. the work independent
ly, with the satisfactory results above
noted.

THE MAIL-ORDER O U

THE MAILrORDER HOUSE
Air: THE Old. oaken Bucket"
How dear to my heart are the scenes Of my childhood
When fond recollection presents them to view
The church and the store and the school in the wildwood
And all the loved spots that my infancy knew.
Last summer wandered again to the village
But found not a neighbor of old or his spouse.
The streets were deserted, the farms needed tinage-
The town had been killed by the mail-order house.
The village had vanished when merchants were banished-
The town had been killed by the mailorder house.
But one lone survivor, as scared as a rabbit,
| found, and | asked why the village was dead.
The town got the mal-order catalogue habit,
And that was what killed it forever" he said.
1T was not a war, epidemic or pillage,
No foeman's invasion or robbers carouse;
The money that should have developed the village
was all sent away to the maiLorder house
The money we earned here-it never returned here,
When once it was sent to the mail-order house.
