SHADE DEFENDS
BYRNE'S ACTION
MITCHELL GUARD OFFICER DE-
CLARES MORRIS WAS FULLY
ELIGIBLE TO APPOINTMENT
AS ADJUTANT GENERAL.

M. l.. Shade of this city, sent the
following self-explanation letter to
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader
"As a member of the National
Guards of South Dakota and one
who has for years held the organiza-
ton as a whole to be above politics
and the interests of any man or
clique of men, / cannot let the unjust
and untrue criticism Of the appoint
ment of Adjutant w. A. Morris in
an editorial of the Argus Leader OF
the 9th inst. to pass unnoticed.
1.-THE appointment was made on
the 4th day of March and confirmed
by the Senate on the 9th day of
March and therefore an appointment
under the session laws of 1903,
Chapter 1876, Section 81. "Qualifca-
ton Of the Adjutant General" The
Adjutant General shall be an officer
of the National Guard of this State,
who has held a commission therein
or at least three CD years prior to
his appointment.
General Morris has held a COM
mission since 1904; he is not an ap-
pointee under the law that became
effective March 18th, 1913.
lne statement that, lin fact, he
was never such an officer for one
day." is a lie and the records show
tina he was a lieutenant and Captain
of Company G., 4th Infantry for three
years and has been carried on the re-
serve list without a break from that
time to the time of his appointment
and has been frequently ordered on
duty by the Adjutant General.
1T Is absolutely unnecessary for
the Governor to offer any defense
for a violation Of that law that has
not been committed and such uniust
attacks upon the administration serve
only to discredit the authors and
increase the popularity of those who
are the victims.

FARMERS OF BARD
ORGANIZE CLUB
PROF. VAN BENTHUYSEN AND
PROF. JONES OF THE UNI
VERSITY GIVE INTEREST,"
ING ADDRESSES.

There was a large enthusiastic
farmers meeting held at Bard last
Thursday evening. The meeting was
we'll attended by the farmers of the
vicinity. A strong interest was man
ifested throughout the evening.
The meeting was called by Rev.
Mr.. Egner who is pastor of the
local church at that place. Mr.. Egg
ner is connected with the Farmers
Alliance that is meeting with SO
much success in Fulton. He believes
along with his other duties in doing
of his community in a social and
economic way and with this purpose
in mind called the melting for last
Thursday evening.
Prof. Van Benthuysen of the Uni
versity spoke of the Modern Tend
ency toward Cooperation" The close
touch in which Prof. Van Benthuy-
e keeps with the problems of the
farmers insures an interesting adj
dress when ever he is called on to
speak. He showed the great pow
er of the farming class of people
when once organized also demon
strating the fact that this class of
people are being robbed by having
to pay an excessive rate of interest.
The professor strongly maintained
that it is unjust that the farmer,
the chief producer of icy wealth
should be treated so unfairly.
Prof. Jones was there to give a
number of reasons why the farmers
of the local community should get
together. These e presented in
his usual vigorous manner and SEEM
to gain the approval of the peo
pie from the appreciative response
that he received. Both speakers eX-
pressed their willingness to be of fur
Their aid to the people of the COM
munity in forwarding a movement
for better farming and cooperative
measures among the people.
Then Mr.. Egner offered the use of
the church for the meetings of an
organization ii the people wished to
organize as he maintains this one Of
the duties OF the church is to fur
Their practical measures in the form
OF social service to the people. The
of organizing was put to
the audience and it was 1T once de-
cided to take steps toward the per-
fecting of a permanent organization.
A committee was appointed that will
report on a constitution at a later
meeting. The intense interest that
was manifested makes safe the pre-
that Bard will soon have in
active operation II of the livest
organizations of this sort in this
part of the state.

TILLlNG AGAIN
PROVES SUPERIORITY

Pierre, S. D.-On the Messic farm
near Gettysburg a field was prepared
for experimental work, n portion
of it being worked over with a deep
machine; another portion with
a subsoil pillow, and a third portion
worked with an ordinary pillow. The
whole field was narrowed and IL
face worked in the same way, and
seeded at@the same time. The ordi-
nary blowing is very poor in the
stand8of grains tested; with the sub
soiled portion considerably better,
and the deep titled section the best
of all. The dividing line between the
different methods of tilling is clearly
marked and shows the difference be-
tween the different methods of hand
ling the soil.
