ERRONEOUS SURVEYS
PLAY HAVOC WITH
SOME fine FARMS
Early Government Surveyors
Were Very Careless in Do
ing Their Work.

Colony, S. D, Sept. 23.-Carlessness
of early government surveyors in talk
ing an Old~fence corne as the base
upon which to run lines has played
" with the boundaries of home
steads in this vicinity. A new and Of
fetal survey now is being made, and
this has developed that the old lines
We're far out of place. Some home
steaders who have made valuable inn
provements upon their and will be
compelled to amend their homestead
entries In order to get the land they
thought they, had filed upon. But in
many cases they will be unable to Sc
cure the land to which they believed
they were entitled at the time of MAX
ing their original entries. The LeSueur
brothers., living near here, will be seri-
ously injured by the changes brought
about by the resurvey. The land they
supposed they had filed upon proves
cannot take it away from its present
owner and give it to them. The re-
survey cuts off the best of their Guilt
waited lands and a part of their build
ings and deprives them of a river
frontage which they supposed they
possessed. One Of the brothers will
have to move his fences and build
ings. The havoc wrought by the re-
survey in boundary lines recalls the
story of an old government surveyor,
who in the early days surveyed much
of that part of the state lying east
Of the Missouri river, who stated that
as it was believed in pioneer days that
eastern South Dakota never would be
fit for ~habitation, no care whatever
was taken in running the survey lines.
The old surveyor told of a surveying
party, of which he was a member. that
made a practice of a~scertaining dis
tances while making surveys by wrap
ping a piece of flannel about the wheel
Of a wagon and then by counting the
revolutions of the wheel and figuring
the diameter Of the wheel, calculated
the distances.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
SAYS D0CKAGE LAW
MUST Be OBSERVED
Buyer and Seller Cannot Legal
ly Make Agreement to Ig-
more Requirement.

Pierre. S. d.. Sept. 24.-Attorncy
General johnson old that the sitting
method, for determining purity of
grains, may not be dispensed with by
buyer and seller making a private
agreement about dockage. The new
law affecting this proposition was
Senate bin No. 90 of the 1913 session.
Chapter 1858 of the session laws, and it
provides for this sitting specifically,
and comes under the code provisions
that anyone may waive the advantage
of a law intended solely for his benefit,
but a law established for a public rea-
son annot be c-ontravened by a private
agreement"
The attorney general holds that the
grain law is a public statute, enacted
because of Il public need, n so cam
not be put aside. He is of the further
opinion that it is no greater hardship
for the seller to have to take his mar
keting elsewhere because a buyer re-
fuses to sift his grain, than it would
be for them to disagree upon dockage,
and thus have to market elsewhere.
Johnson holds that moisture of corn on
the cob shall not be included in the
provisions of the act contemplated in
the words, dirt. foul seed or n other
mixture"
Attorney General Johnson holds that
persons appointed to makea h pre-
liminary examinations and written re-
port under the mothers pension act,
upon the d~esirability of the person re-
ceiving such pension, are not entitled
to compensation. He states that the
examination and report must be made
either by the states attorney or some
officer Of a charitable organization or
humane society, n that these officers
can receive, no extra pay for their
work.

HUNTING SEASON GETS
USUAL ACCIDENT TOLL

Arlington, S. D., Sept. 23.-Two hunt
ing accidents, one of them fatal, have
occurred on the lakes in this vicinity
recently. Ray Verley, while hunting
on Lake Henry, near Lake Preston,
was accidentally shot by Arnold Soren-
son. a son of his employer, j. A. Soren-
son, receiving a wound from which he
died a few hours later. Both boys
We're just past 16. Both were in some
high weeds shooting at ducks, when
the verley boy called to the others,
saying: Have you shot me; 1 can't
raise my left arm" The Sorenson boy
rushed to him and discovered blood
flowing from a wound in his back. He
laid his friend down and jumped into
a boat to summon assistance. As
quickly as possible the wounded boy
was carried to a nearby farm house
and a doctor summoned, but he died a
short thine afterward. He fully exon
Grated his companion of all blame for
the shooting.
Carl Knutson was shooting on Lake
Albert, and, on going ashore, pulled
his gun from the boat, when it was
accidentally discharged, the load
striking his right wrist, terribly LAGER
ating his arm. 1t is feared amputation
will be necessary.

Of injuries received when he fell off
a load Of wood and had the heavy

SHOWS ALFALFA THRlvES
IN HIGH. DRY SECTION

Cottonwood. S. D., Sept. 22.-Henry
Jeffries, living in the high and dry
section of Stanley county, has put on
exhibition this fall a remarkable dis
play of alfalfa, which he has devoted
the last three years to raising and
demonstrating on his place. He fea-
lures seven separate varieties and dis
plays a bundle of alfalfa, as large as a
bundle OF grain, three and a half feet
lots" OF the Cherno variety, from one
plant. This was cut August 16. In
connection with this large sample he
shows what was taken on the ecovery
OF this same plant, cut last week, the
package being nearly two feet long and
as big, as a small bundle of grain, all
from the one plant.
Jeffries considers Orenburg variety
most remarkable of all, however, be-
cause it produces from the end of a
cut off root a perfectly new lot Of
shoots, and demonstration on his
place has been made of the roots Of
these plants being completely broken
off from a large a in the Herth,
from drought, and later, after a rain.
the same roots sending up many new
shoots. This indicates that horse pas
is notably hard on all pasture because
both destroy roots in paving the
ground, will not injure this kind OF
alfalfa root, as the plant for new
growth does not depend upon stubble.
The Mo- LIST planting of this Oren-
burg variety showed 81 large roots
from four to six feet long on one plant.
which indicates its remarkable
strength.
Other exhibits from Jeffries' Siber-
ian alfalfa plants showed an average
OF seven 12-pound packages of greer
feed per plant on the three-year stock,
u in August, and the recovery on
the same three-year plants now is two
and one-half feet high. Early in the
spring the region neal his ranch had
three inches of rain, then IS days of
continuous and unbroken drought, and
late in August another three inches of
rain fell. On the three-year stock the
rain last year vas about four inches,
during the entire season, and three
inches the year before. This partic-
ular variety from the very
highest and dryest portions of Siberia.
Ali the yellow varieties OF alfalfa
grow up high for the first cutting. and
after that spread owe the ground for
the second cutting, like a vine. The
Cherno variety makes two splendid
crops of seed during the year, and is
a hybrid varying from white to yellow
ish, lavender nj ven purple colored
flowers.
