$4,000 a Day.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
It Is costing the United States govern
ment and the various state governments
$4,000 evory day 10 carry on their agrt-
cultural experiments These experiments,
1t IL estimated, result In Al annual gain
of about 3 per cent In farm output. The
accumulated result, however, win become
much greater than that, and so pay many
cation of farmers, "r
Our crops are so great that anything
which adds even q trifing percentage TO
the whole means a huge amount. Thus
one good grain Of corn added to each ear
raised last year In the United States
would have Increased the total crop by
about 5000, 900 bushels. W
IL has been demonstrated that the diff
ference between good seed and poor seed
when applied to corn spells the difference
between IS bushels and 80 bushels for an
acre. One of the Burbank's so-called in
yentions put 17.0O0,0O0 to the annua value
OF the American potato crop.
The greater hope for a. reduction In the
high cost of living lies In the movement
toward better farming in the United
States, Increasing farm output without
materially increasing the cost OF that out
put means cheaper food for everybody.

RECENT ELECTION STARTS
ACTIVE FRACTIONAL FIGHT

Kadoka, S. D., April 21.AThis usually
quiet and prosaic little town of Ka-
doka Ii rent asunder over the result Of
the recent election and there are
threats on the part of the outs Of all
sorts of law suits. Some time before
election there was q anvas of the
citizens and the old board Of village
trustees was renominated, consisting of
Gus Craven, ]. Detterman and J.. A.
Henings.
Then a faction arose. the members
OF which thought a change in the
board would be desirable, 50 it nomi-
mated Otto Sharon, A. j. Fregberger
and A. A. Fitzgerald for trustees.
Sharon was clerk of the board and saw
to II that the nominees for his ticket
were properly filed with the clerk.
Then he and his wife were suddenly
called east and Sharon deputiZed f. r..
Ridinger to act Is clerk during his
absence. When the old board of trus-
tees came to file their nominations
Ridinger declined to accept them on
the ground that the filing was not
within the time prescribed by law. Not
to be thwarted by any little Irregular
ity like this two members OF the board
Of trustees, Craven and Hennings, met
and voted Ridinger out of office as
clerk and also voted Hennings in as
the incumbent Of that office. Then
they filed the caucus nominations.
When election day came the old board
was elected about two to one and the
town went wet n happy.
Now the opposition Is doing consid-
erable talking and visions Of the SUI
preme court sitting for justice on the
law in the case Is the nightmare of the
old members OF the board OF trustees.
