not figure in interest on their capital,
namely their land.
DR.. Hume optimistically called at
tention to the remedy-namely that
the farmer must produce than
average crops. He will then find his
business a profitable one as compared
with other businesses. II he will farm
on a scientific basis he can for all time
maintain his independence and make
money in competition with c~apitalistic
crop producers. That the American
farmer shall always be an American
citizen and not a peasant is the real
vital issue beneath at all. at will be

SEND HANSEN TO SIBERIA

Professor Hansen of the Brookings
college is recognized the country over
as a most valuable horticulturist. His
experiments extend over a wide field.
In many respects he has been likened
to Luther Burbank, whose genius has
planted the arid plains of the great
west with the thornless cactus and in
so doing has provided a most valuable
forage plant. Mr.. Hansen has devoted
much time and energy to the study of
alfalfa. He has visited distant Siberia
as the representative of the United
States government in search of an
alfalfa plant that should grow and
thrive in the hottest, dryest, and cold
est of climates. He believes he has
been successful and wants to make a
return trip, backed by the sovereign
state of South Dakota. For this un-
dertaking he asks for an appropria-
ton of ten thousand dollars aid ex
presses the belief that such an expen-
diture would enable him to secure
sufficient seed Of the yellow alfalfa
plant, a plant which he considers
hardy enough to thrive anywhere in
this state, to at once SOW thousands of
acres. Of course such an expendi-
ture is nothing if Professor Hansen is
right. 1t would be Of more real benefit
to the people of South Dakota than any
thing ever proposed since the state
was settled. 1t would positively and
for all time settle the value of u
lands; it would people every acre of
the great unsettled area Of the state.
The Dakotan believes that the expen-
diture is justified and in comparison
with the proposal to appropriate for
the Panama exposition, tax commission
and other like proposals is Of infinite
more Importance and more worthy
and contains possibilities of which the
other proposals are wholly lacking.
Professor Hansen may be a dreamer,
but his dream might come true. If it
should Dakota would indeed be made
to blossom like the rose.-Pierre Da-
kotan.

well defined.
Mr.. Hedge who sang the song of

combination Of the lyric and dramatic

qualities.
The program vas repeated on Tues
day evening upon the especial request
Of Prof. Browning who wished the
pupils of the public schools to hear it

the proper interest is displayed, it

1t is significant to note the intense
interest which was displayed in this
