LEGISLATURE TAKES RECESS
CONTINUED from first page)

South Dakota seems to be in dis
favor by some of the other states be-
cause Of our system of running things
at the penitentiary, and in order to
either run things differently, or prove
that we are doing well, a joint COM
mittee from house and senate will
visit the penitentiary this week for a
detailed Investigation.
Up to date the legislature has asked
for an appropriation of yer $500, 900
and two acts have been passed and
Med with the Secretary of State, the
legislative expense account. and the
woman's suffrage resolution, besides
each house has passed a dozen or so,
which will have TO go On to the other
branch. UP to the ces a total Of
1873 bills in the house and III in the
senate had been introduced.
The conservation congress, meeting
in Pierre during this week, and finish
ing with a peace conference on Sun
day, the End of February, will bring a
thousand or more visitors to the city,
and prominent speakers in the line of

MANURE

Oh. H. Stoner, Superintendent Farm
ers' Institutes.)
There is not an acre of land, how
ever new it may be, in South Dakota
that will not be benefited by a liberal
application of barnyard anure. Tests
made in the eastern portion of the
state indicate that the soil is particu-
larly benefited by an application of
both phosphorus and nitrogen while
tests made in the western part of the
state show that nitrogen is needed to
a greater extent than any of the plant
foods. Barnyard manure contains both
of these elements in large amounts and
by applying it to the soil these needed
plant foods are supplied in the cheap
est manner possible. Not only does
the application of barnyard manure in
crease the plant food content of the
soil but it aids materially in improving
its condition.
Barnyard manure is vegetable mat
ter which has been reduced to a fine
state by process of m~astication, and
in this condition is readily converted
into humus. Humus is the crying need
of our South Dakota soils. 1t is from
humus that practically all of the nitro
gen that our soil contains has been OBJ
tanned. If there is nc humus there is
but little nitrogen in the soil and if
there is no nitrogen plants can not
thrive in such a soil.
In the drier portions Of our state,
where crop production depends largely
upon the local rainfall, the humus Of
the soil plays a very important role
in the conservation of soil moisture.
While an ordinary soil will hold thirty
or forty per cent of it's weight of
water, a soil that is very rich in humus
will hold any where from one hundred
to two hundred per cent of its weight
of water. Therefore, the greater
amount of water it will hold, and water
in some parts of South Dakota, is a
desideratim not to be despised.
Barnyard manure should be carried
fresh from the barn or lot and applied
directly to the land. The reprehensi

In the driel portions of the state
manure should be applied lightly an,

be applied lightly and thoroughly in
corporated with the top soil by use of
the disc harrow before the land is
plowed. This rule will apply likewise
to the more humid portions of the
state but it is especially applicable to
the drier portions. Many farmers in
the western part Of South Dakota hest
tate to apply manure to their land in
the fear that it will cause it to dry out.
If the above precautions are taken no
harm will result but rather will the
crop yields be raised anywhere from
thirty to one hundred per cent.

able to answer clearly any pertinent
question regarding them. We may
have read or studied socialism enough
to convince ourselves of its truths yet
be unable to give a reason for the
faith that is in US. Such a n cannot
be an efficient party member. 1t Is
therefore worth while to test our
selves with questions occasionally,
ard a few that are offered for this pur-
pose arc here subjoined.
AS we are living under the capitalist
system OF production and distribution
a good number one is:
What is the main difference between
capitalist and socialist economies?
No. 2. What is capital?
No. 8. Must employment prevail
under capitalization? Why?
No. 4. Must poverty prevail under
capitalism? Why?
The Short Talk will answer these
briefly according to its understanding.
No. /. The main difference between
capitalist and socialist economics is
the former system produces for profit
the latter for use. The capitalist sys-
TEN beginning in competition pro-
crosses toward monopoly, eliminating
the small competitor as it goes. In it's
early stages it is haphazzard, morgan
lied and a~narchistic, which conditions
are largely outgrown when the trust
stage is reached; it's government is all
autocracy.
The socialist system begins with CO.
operation, organization and system.
1t progresses toward greater freedom
for the masses and its government is
a democracy; the producers are bene-
ficiaries of the system instead of being
its financial victims.
No. 2. Capital is the wealth that is
used in production for profits.
No. 8. Employment must prevail
under capitalism for the profits are de-
rived from the surplus product of the
workers, that is, the difference be-
tween what the worker earns or pro-
duces, and what they get in wages.
No. A.. Poverty must prevail under
capitalism because under competition
wages ever tend toward the subsist-
ance point; this is the Iron law of
wages so called the "out of works"
which are a by-product of the system
are always ready to take the places of
the dissatisfied workers, acting as a
whip to keep them at their jobs as
long as a living is to be made. The
army of the unemployed in this coun-
try at the present time is between four
and five million. The workers Of
brain and hand constitute above three
fourths of the population, the condi-
tons Of employment are therefore
such that it is impossible for the aver
age person to win a competence and

CHICAGO, March s. = Statements that
recent export business had been largely

feet today on wheat. Mild temperature
and additional moisture in the winter
crop belt counted also against the bulls.
There was apprehension. too, that the

Y lowerr to h higher. May started at
91NaD1h to 911sa91k. unchanged, to Y

Corn weakened because buying was

Demand for oats proved Indifferent.
May, which started lower at 34A. de-
scended to 34a34H.
In provisions the weaker tone at the

FROM the London Chronicie.
Mr.. Lewellyn Williams insinuation in
the house Of commons that Shakespeare
or Bacon was responsible for laundering
ly fixing the leek upon the Welsh people
as their national emblem would not have
been countenanced by John Brady. Brady
ought to know. for century ago he com.
piled Q ''Compendious Analysis OF the
Calendar" IN which the fun responsible
ity for the leek Is thrown upon the
shoulders OF st. David It was he who
ordered King Cadwallader and his braves
Co wear the leek in their caps. and a
they beat the Saxons there must have
been virtue in the leek.
st. David thought so, for he ordered
that on each anniversary OF the Welsh
victory. March I, the leek should be worn,
From all Of which II is quite clear that
9hakespeare did not invent the legend OF
WeIahmen wearing leeks at the battle OF

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, March S.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline OF
to points Under Wall street selling. The
trade seemed to pay little attention to
fairly steady cables, and the market was
fairly active after the cali. with prices
easing off to net loss of 8 or 8 points
ON the old crop positions. There was
more March for sale, which created an
unfavorable impression as to the situa-
ton in southern spot markets. although
there was no change in the general news.
New crop positions were relatively
steady. but the general list was nervous
and unsettled during the first hour. ana
bears showed increased aggressiveness.
Houses with foreign and trade connec-
tions or some of the older shorts were
considered the best buyers on the decline.
Futures opened steady: March, 1217:
