The State College orchestra and
concert company gave their annual
concert at the opera house on Friday
evening. A good house was present,
but it was not as large of course, as
would have been the case had college
been in session. The program was a
very pleasing one and every number
drew merited applause. The solo
numbers by Miss Leekley, Miss Highly,
Mr.. Peterson and Mr.. Pratt were es
pecially pleasing and encores were
enthusiastically called for. Perhaps
the most pleasing selection was the
SeXtet from Lucia, arranged for a
quartet and given by Misses Leekley
and Highly and Dean Hedge n Mr..
Gotthold. The two organizations left

A committee of the South Dakota
Holstein-Freisan Breeders Association
met at the dairy building at the college
on Saturday to devise a method for
cooperative advertising of the Hol-
stein-Fresian breed of cattle, and to
devise means for carrying on dairy ex-

that the association would pay the
salary of the tester, provided the state
would direct the work, and the test
ing in that case will presumably be
done under the direction of the college.
The following were the members of
the committee: p. A. Zollman of Alex
andria, president of the association;
Clyde Brown Of Hartford, v~ice-presi-
dent; p. A. Clothers Of Badger, secre-
tary; and f. F.. Corwin Of Sioux Falls,
and Prof. c.. Larsen of Brookings. The
gentlemen from out of the city are
among the prominent stock breeders
and DAN ymen of the state, and in con-
versation with the Register they voic-
ed their appreciation Of what the State
College, through Professors Wilson
and Larsen, is doing for the stock and
dairy interests of South Dakota.
