COUNTY AUDITORS
Will Meet in Annual Session at
Pierre Next Week.

Pierre, March l9.-The last legis la-
tive session repealed the law which
requires the county auditors to meet
with the state board of equalization
the fourth Tuesday of March of each
year to discuss and act upon plans for
assessment each year. While this has
been repealed on account of the adop-
tion of the tax commission instead Of
the state board of equalization for at
sessment and equalization work of the
state. the repeal law did not carry an
emergency, and the old law is yet in
force, which means that on Tuesday.
the 25th, the auditors of the different
counties are expected to meet with the
tax commission for their last meeting
of the kind. And by the way the com
mission Is as vet il a quandary as to
the line to follow in making assess
ment. Whether to continue on a low
basis of valuation, as has been the
rule. or whether to start at once with
compliance with the strict letter of
the constitutional provision which re-
quires assessment at actual value of
all property. The one being consti-
tutional but revolutionary, and the
other unconstitutional but customary.
This will no doubt be one of the
matters TO be discussed with county
auditors at the meeting next week.

IMPROVED SEED


Bookings, March 10. Ut is esti-
mated by good authority that Dakota
farmers lot $15, 600. 900 last season in
docksge due TO the presence of weed
seed in their grain says Manley
Champlin, assistant agronomist at the
state college. While no one expects
this condition to become perfect, the
seed situation at present shows that
by concentrated effort much good has
| already been done and much lore
] good can be done in the future. The
beauty of using good seed is that the
better crop yield eEsuing costs pTac-
ticaiIy nothing mole than if poor seed
mad been used and a poor yield OBJ
tanned.
From the samples Of seed received
by the agronomy department of the
South Dakota experiment station from
farmers fer testing, it is plain that
the seed situation in the state is far
| better than usual. AS a rule the
samples of alfalfa seed contain fewer
weeds and are terminating exception
ally we'll. Small grain seed. including
wheat, oats and barley, has rarely
failed to test less than 80 per cent.
Many samples of corn have been test
ed that showed 90 per cent terminating
power or better. Very few have been
less thar 90 per cent. Now. this does
not mean that vigilance should be le-
Taxed, but it does mean that the
work done by the various agencies
for the bettermsnt of agriculture, in
Guiding above all the farmers them
selves, is beginning to take effect.
and although there is still room for
Improvement. the signs of the present
season are encouraging.
In reply to an inquiry from Forest
burg MIR. Champlin states: 81 would
say that what little information we
have leads to the belief that April / on
the average lie the best date to SOW
wheat. A week earlier than that is
all right or a week later will probably
not make a great deal of difference.
There is danger in sowing now, as the
wheat may sprout and then be frozen
later. As long as the wheat lies lie the
ground without ~sprouting and in a dry
condition the cold weather would not
hurt it. but if we have a warm spell,
enough to sprout the grain. and then
it turns cold, the seed will be killed

Iron in Plants.

Experiments are under way at the
agricultural meteorological station in
Vienna to increase the quantity of
iron carried in certain plants, with a
view to the effect on the human
system when those plants are used
as food. Artifcially prepared foods
containing iron do not always produce
the desired effect, because the iron
Is not completely assimilated. This
difficulty. it is thought, may be
avoided by causing plants to take up
an increased quantity of iron during
their natural growth. BY adding
hydrate Of iron to the soil in which
it was growing. the experimenters
have succeeded in producing spinach
containing percentage of iron seven
times as great as that found in ordi.
nary spinach. 1t is believed that the
process will prove successful With
other ferruginous plants.
