there being ample room for doubt that
it was crime which might legally be

that Mr.. Finch might have sufficient time

THE DAIRY COW
AWAKENS N. OAK.
Follows South Dakota I'm diving
Up Exclusive Wheat

Aberdeen American. Over in
North Dakota the question of dairy
ing is occupying a great deal of at
tention. The state dairy commits
sioner has just made the statement
that the time is coming when prac-
tically every farmer in the state will
pay all of his running expenses from
his cows. The money from crop will
be all velvet.
North Dakota's harvest this year
is the best it has been for over twen-
ty years, according to pioneer farm
ers. This is the frst year in the
history of the commonwealth when
a bumper crop will aid the dairy in
dustry. This has been brought
about by the stern lesson taught the
farmer by the unfavorable condi-
tons prevailing during 1910 and
1911, and the reversal of the effect
of bumper crops of former years
upon Investigation marks an i'm
portant epoch in the states prog
ress.
The quickening of interest in the
dairy industry in North Dakota is
not limited to the farmers. Bankers
and other business men have come
to a realization of its Importance.
and are doing all in their power to
stimulate further interest along this
line. Many banks are purchasing
pure bred cows and placing them on
farms in their immediate commun-
tiles, permitting the farmers to pay
for them as they are able. Other
business men are boosting silo con-
struction. During the present sum-
mer 200 new silos r being con-
structed in North Dakota. and next
year twice as many will be built.
The marked interest being ske~s
by merchants and business men in
the dairy industry Isl sign or the

GOOD ROADS
ARE BOOSTED
State Organization Perfected At

Pierre, Aug. 24.-The first Good
Roads convention of this state COM
pleted its work here last evening by
the selection of officers for a per-
manent organization to be known as
the South Dakota Good Roads AS.
ISOLATION. which is to hold meetings
each year at the call Of the executive
committee, and which is to have
general supervision over the differ.
ent good roads projects in the state,
and to work for legislation which
will help in good road building.
The officers selected are good road
men who have been active in the
work. j. w. Parmley, the president,
made the first move as a legislative
member to change the road laws of
the state, his efforts failing, and he
meeting defeat in his efforts to again
get back into the legislature, and he
is now at the head of an organization
which will ask for more than he
dreamed of asking for in his origin

IS active in road and street work in
and about Sioux Falls, and in this is
only following his activities in other
states before coming to South Dako-
ia; Ben w. Wood, the secretary of
the association, is also secretary of

The committee on resolutions
which reported. commend generally
the calling of the meeting, and the
movement, with the men engaged in
the work. They endorsed the legis-
lative work so far as it has gone. and
also the trunk highway plans in the
state. They recommended a per-
manent state organization to be al
lied with county organizations; and
further recommend such action As
may be necessary to secure a tax
upon automobiles for road purposes.
The one feature of road work
which the engineers on the program
attempted to impress in their talks
yesterday was that no matter how
we'll built a road may be, it will not
so remain without a maintenance
system to see that it is kept up as an
efficient highway.
