The west OF the river papers are
all devoting much space TO the pro-
position OF county purchase OF seed
grain, and generally state that those
who have stuck are optimistic OF the
prospects of the coming season, and
are planning to SOW as large an acre
age as their will permit.
All Of the western counties are TAX
ing advantage Of the statute enabling

WALKER HAS THE RIGHT IDEA.

Now is the time for the newspapers
of South Dakota TO assert their indie
pendence and refuse longer to serve
as catspaws for politicians. The many
offers OF free plate matter and free
bureau matter mainly if not wholly
political advertising should find their
way quickly to the waste basket even
if one favors the candidate or cause,
the publisher is working against his
own interests in donating valuable
space to ~self-seeking candidates. No
one else save those expecting to profit
by victory are sc liberal in their CIV
ing, and it is time newspapers quit
it or complaining about every
body expecting them to do something
for nothing. The editorial support
given the cause or candidates favored
is a sufficiently big item without
throwing in valuable advertising
space. These sentiments are inspired,
though we have dumped everything
of the sort so far, by the offer of
Dick Richards free advertising. No
doubt many papers will publish it be-
cause the people must vote on it, but

transmissible unsoundness he is re-
fused a license for public breeding
purposes. Among many horses which
have been rejected, forty-six per cent
had side-bones; twenty-three per cent
had some variety of spavins; and
seventeen per cent had blindness or
transmissible eye disease. About one
half of the horses allowed to stand in
South Dakota are full blooded.
1t is to South Dakota's credit that
she stands among the first dozen or
so states which have passed rigid
laws regarding the breeding of horses.
One of the greatest benefits which
the state derives from the Stallion
Registration Board is the fact that
this state can no longer be used as
a dumping ground for breeding stock
which is ineligible to the stud of
neighboring states. The present
tendency is for mongrels to leave the
state.

A number of the counties of the
state have by petition filed last sum

its adoption or rejection at the next
general election. The question of the
proper manner of submission of this
question to the voters has been
brought TO the attorney general for

One OF the evidences Of the value
of a creamery to a community comes
from Big Stone. Reports made at the
annual meeting OF the cooperative

immigration Commissioner Deets in

the coming year would be one of the
greatest in the states history in al
agricultural way. Mr.. Deets did not
make this statement just to hear him
self talk or to say something agree

pious rains of last fall, with the freez-

the ground in fine condition for a
