Suggests Governor Ap-
point Registration Day
Idea Outlined for Listing Voters
in South Dakota Under New
Primary Law

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Aug. 5
Col. Melvin Grigsby, who is q
member of the committee ap-
pointed to promote registration
of republican voters in the state
to conform to the new primary
law. will suggest to Governor
Byrne the advisabllity of desig-
mating some day this fall as a
special registration day Col
onel Grigsby's idea is that on
this special day each town
should have a picnic or special
celebration of some kind to draw
in the farmers and that the
township officers should be on
hand with their lists. making a
special effort to have the voters
enroll.
The plan formulated has no
partisan feature, as the idea of
its promoter is to have the activ-
ity apply to all voters, regardless
of party affiliations.
Under the existing primary
law all voters must personally
sign the registration lists before
they are eligible to participate in
any of the election events or in
any of the legal preliminaries.
These registration lists have
been open now for many weeks
and the indifference of voters in
the matter of getting listed is
causing some nervousness among
the politicians
The voter must give his party
affiliation. in the process of reg.
istering. but no pledge or agree
ment is exacted as to how he in
tends to vote in the election.

Good Showing
Made With Alfalfa
Tom Veal, of Chance. Cuts 100
Tons This Season

One of the most inspiring
sights for the discontented set
tier in Perkins county is the two
monster stacks of alfalfa, that
Tom Veal has cut and stacked
on his farm at Chance. this sea-
son. We were by there one day
this week and watched the boys
stacking this wonderful forage
plant in the huge ricks and it
certainly made us feel good. Mr..
Veal is now making his third
cutting from a part Of his 81
acre field and the way it has pro-
duced is a wonder. While this
field is located where it can be
irrigated, only one application OF
water was used this season, oW-
ing to some trouble with the If
rigating plant. However, every
thing is in shape to do the field
| Justice next year and Mr.. Veal
expects to take over $4,000 worth
of alfalfa from this 80 acre field.
| We can remember the past few
years when Mr.. Veal was run

part of the summer and we can
not recall that he ever had as
much good feed at one time as
he will have this season, with
one-third of the labor and time
expe nded. There are hundreds

after the real owner showed up
