State Immigration Commissioner
Asks Bankers for Facts
Concerning Crops.

Pierre, May 21.-State lmmlgra-
ton Commissioner Dects has sent
out a letter to the banks over the
state asking as to crop conditions
in the vicinity Of the locations
where the queries have been made.
He has Oeen receiving replies from
all sections Of the state, and the
general report is a condition rang
ing from 90 up to 100 Ter cent.
Not only is the condition at the
best, but q large increase IN crop
acreage is reported. The territory
east Of the jim river shows but
small increase Of acreage Of small
grain crops, but a heavy increase
in the corr acreage. West of the
jim river an increase in wheat is
noted, but the heaviest increase
appears to be in flax, oats, corn
and alfalfa, this increase in some
localities being placed as high as
three hundred per cent for the To-
cality reporting. Every section
reports the crop condition as good
us could be asked, and most Of
them put their estimates at the
best ever" These reports are
from men who are interested in
crop conditions, and who take note
of the true situation, and certainly
make a good showing for the state
up to this stage of tie game.

sioner's Case.

The primary law limits the num-
Der Of signerS on a nominating
petition for county officers at not
more than ) per cent nor less than
> per cent Of the party vote cast
for governor at the last preceding
election. One Of the minority par
ties in Edmunds county desired to
place in nomination a candidate
for county commissioner, and
found that their candidate for gov
ernOr had received but five votes
in that commissioner district at
the last election. This would
make one name on the petition in
excess of the > per cent allowed
under the law, and the county
auditor asked the advice of the
state law department and he was
advised to accept the filing as the
law cannot demand impOssibilities,
and to keep a petition down to five
per cent in such case was mani
festlv impossible.

NOW READY TO
BE SENT OUT
The State College Has Alfalfa Bulle'
lin Out-Very Interesting
Booklet on the Popular
Plant.

The new alfalfa bulletin which
has just been issued by the Agrono-
my department Of the state college
gives an interesting survey of the
past six years tests OF growing al
falfa hay in South Dakota Re-
suits show that the average yields
Of alfalfa hay from several strains
OF seed which have been produced
at Brookings have been more profit
able than the average crops of
wheat or corn. The average yields
of alfalfa hay from strains of seed
produced at the EIighmore substa-
ton were fully as profitable as the
average crop of wheat or corn. 1t
has been demonstrated also that
the yellow-fiowered alfalfa is the
most hardy strain for South Da-
kota use.
Scratching and bruising alfalfa
seeds to make them terminate
readily is another point brought
out by this bulletin. The machine
which scratches the alfalfa seed is
called the 'preparator'' and was
brought over to America by Pro-
fessor Hansen from Sweden. This
machine throws the seed from a
revolving disk against a circular
stone and scratches the seed-coats
of the alfalfa. This weakens the
surface of the seed so that it may

more readily absorb the water and
be easily broken by the expanding
germ when the seed sprouts. The
alfalfa seed thus treated have an
advantage over %unscratched seed
of from s to 5 ID per cent.

fesssor f. y. Hume, AgronomiSt
at the state college, aud Samuai

colleges VS.. the press OF the state
has been heard. The evidence has
been submitted and the verdict Is
against the educational institutions
Of the state and in favor of the
printing press of South Dakota.
1t is plainly evident that the news-
paper Offices in the estimation OF
the COLLEGES and their students are
not good enough for them. In
other words, the colleges and the
higher educational institutions OF
the state regard the press as a sort
Of a door mat. to use when they
want to accomplish something and
TO spurn as soon as they have ac-
complished their purpose. Not
that the press and the printing
establishments care very much
from a monetary standpoint, but
from the viewpoint of principle
they care very much and 50 ought
every citizen Of the state. There
is not "a higher educational institu-
ton in the state but what owes
more to the press of the state than
to acts of legislatures or endOws of
colleges, and despite this, these in
situations slap the press in the face
whenever the opportunity occurs.
The press of South Dakota has
been urging the patrOnizing of
South Dakota institutions for
years, they have encouraged home
manufacturers IN every way. The
slogan made in South Dakota"
was the coinage of the press. The
patronizing of home institutions is
a principle with the editors of the
state. They have urged the par
ents of the state to patrOniZe the
educational institutions of South
Dakota. Thousands of dollars
worth of advertising has been Civ
en- to this end freely to every col
lege in the state, and it would
seem that such efforts would be
appreciated on the part of the col
lege management, but it is not; it
is spurned. There is no excuse
for such a condition. The print
ing offices of South Dakota are as
well equipped to do the. class of
work the colleges are sending out
Of the state as the Offices in which
the work is done. To say that
they get the work cheaper is not
true. The initial cost may be
cheaper and it may not be, but by
the time the finished product is in
the state the saving, if any, has
been wiped out by freight charges,
by personal visits to the cities, by
expenses for kilograms, and in 9TH
er ways. The HurOnite, the Alb
erdeen News, the Brookings pa
pers, the Vermillion papers, the
Mitchell papers and all other pa
pers of the state should unite nov
il making these colleges who pre-
fer not to patronize home institu-
tons, pay for every line of space
they use in advertising their insti-
buttons. Write-ups of the col
leges, their entertainments, ath-
letic contests, their football games
and every other news item per-
tanning to these institutions should
be tabooed. The colleges have no
use for the press; let the press Of
the state be digniied enough to
resent such treatment and return
kind for kind. The press can and
does get along without the col
leges. Can the colleges say as
much?-Pierre DakOtan.

the customer had left the Paying Teller's
window. He had Overpaid the customer. so

and walked out. 1t is told with variations

Is a MOULDY OLD CHESTNUT. Banks
want to transact business honestly, this bank
in particular. This bank wants to correct
mistakes and its entire force will WORK over
time and away on into the night to run down
an error, to do exact justice. If a mistake
is made and you have been overpaid, we
would like to have our money back. If we
have not paid you in full it is coming to YOU
and we are just as an iouS that you should
get it. The man behind the wicket desires
your confidence, not your suspicion. The man
who invented that chestnut story was a champ.

Catholicism and bid you God speed,

American people that we are just
hanging our heads down and never
look up, to see what is confronting
us. Oh! l would to God the world
was full of just such men as Tom

stand up for right, and fight for it if
necessary, and may God bless you
and enable you to continue to stand
up for the right.

you and yours, | am,
