Z. A. BLISS, Editor B Proprietor.
SCOTLAND, s. D., Sep. 26 1912,

A. N. Hume, professor of Agron-
omy in the state college at Brook
ings, is making an appeal for an
annual additional appropriation of
SIS, 900 for extension of the work
in his department. There Is no
question but that the work already
done in that line has resulted in
introducing new methods of farm
ing in some parts of the state and
has doubtless been beneficial. This
is an agricultural state and any
thing that results in increasing the
crop yield is beneficial to every
citizen. The appropriation asked
for is not large and if properly ex-
pended would prove to be a good
investment. In the itemized list
of appropriations asked for are
$1,000 for strengthening the work
at three substations now running,
and $4,000 for cost Of establishing
three others, one in the southeast
part of the state, n in the James
Valley and n in the northwest,
the appropriation to pay for rent
Of land, wages, seed, machinery,
etc. For expense of this kind, il
the plan is a success, the state
should be- reimbursed from the crop
produced. 1t should not be neces-
sary for the state to bolster up by
appropriation, a farm operated for
the purpose OF showing farmers
how to run their farms successful
ly. Such demonstration farms
should be an object lesson, as farm
ers would hardly Care To initiate q
system that required an annua.

If the crop pays the expense tht
appropriation aside from the sala
ries Of demonstrators, scientific
analysis, etc, would be in the ma
ture of IL state loan, and there
should le no objection to ii.

In the case argued last week be-
fore the supreme court asking for
the removal Of the Roosevelt cleo
tors from the republican ticket, FL.
G. Preston, one of the electors, ap-
peared in the defense. He swore
that he had no knowledge or in
formation upon which to base a
belief that a progressive party was
organized in Chicago and that it
nominated Roosevelt for the presi
dency. There is but n con
struction hat can be placed on
this testimony that will relieve Mr..
Preston from the crime of perjury,
and that is that he does not base
his beliefs upon knowledge or in
formation, but upon prejudice.
