ANOTHER EXPERT SPEAKS

Editor of the Register:
The Register predicts that by mucn
talk and many discussions and with
the use of sundry barrels Of printers
ink we shall eventually succeed in
raising alfalfa in Brookings county. II
this prediction proves futile, we, at
least, shall not be blamed for the fall
ure.
But say John, how large were those
two fields Of alfalfa you saw?
And now be honest. was not one OF
them in Kingsbury county?
We will admit that after leaving
Estelline the roads were very, very
dusty, and our sense Of vision lore
or less impaired but we did think once
that we spied George Thayer hiking
across the section carrying in his
hand what seemed to be a we'll de-
veloped sprig of the precious plant,
but no, oh no! Not of the Siberian
variety! Eureka" we shouted and DR..
Harris brought his fast speeding car
to a halt. Alas, on further investiga-
ton what we supposed to be our friend
Thayer turned out to be nothing more
than m of those strong phenomena
known as mirage. G. n. Kennard.

Der las. The bulletin Is an honest.
straightforward treatment of the soil
fertility situation in South Dakota,
and is an attempt to answer the fol,
lowing questions: 1. How much plant
food do the soils of South Dakota con,
tain? 2. What yield may be expected
from the present supply of plant food?
3. How long will the present supply
Of plant food last? 4. What elements
of plant food, if any, are present in
quantities too small to produce the
maximum yield which might be ex
pected under the climatic conditions
prevailing in the various parts of
South Dakota? 5. If plant food is
lacking, in what form may it be most
profitably applied to the soil? 6.
What systems of farming are most
profitable? Z. How may the fertility
of the soils of South Dakota be in
creased and permanently maintained:

GUY BOYDEN WRITES

We are in receipt of a letter from
DR.. Guy L. Boyden, a former Brook
ings boy, who is now practicing medi-
cine with his brother, DR.. F. f. Boyden
at Pendelton, Oregon. Guy but recent
ly went out to the Coast, having been
with the Mayos at Rochester the past
couple of years. He says in part:
Frank and I are nicely situated
now. This town is certainly the best
one in eastern Oregon, and we claim
about 1000 as our population. We
have a fine sisters hospital to work in.
The town is noted in the west for
the famous Round Up, an annual event,
which will be held next week, when
we expect about thirty or forty thous.
and strangers in our little city.
There is now about six miles of
paving in the city and by the end OF
the year there will be ten or twelve
miles, with more to be done next year

THE ALFALFA EXPERT TALKS

To the Editor of the Register:
The sporting editor of the Register
tells the readers of that paper that the
"Brookings Boosters" travelled 1924
miles advertising the county fair,
and admits that he only saw two or
three small fields of alfalfa, OF the
whole trip, and called G.. N. Kennard
and the writer's attention to this fact.
Well, that fully demonstrates what we
have already said about alfalfa being
grown here, and as a matter of fact
it is not, only in small patches. And
And when one stops to think of travel
ing 1913 miles, and through one of the
very best farming counties in the state,
where beautiful homes and groves are
seen on every hand, and in a county
where prosperity is unsurpassed by
farming country in the U. s. Why
aren't we growing alfalfa OF every
farm here? It's a money maker and a
mortgage litter.
The writer saw a man here this
week by the name Of Cyrus Grimme,
and by the way he Is not the originator
of Grimme alfalfa seed, which is prov
ing to be one OF the best varieties for
this country. Mr.. Grimme came here
from dried out Kansas. He tells the
writer II 1t we're not for alfalfa, the
people OF his state would be in very
bad shape this year, having lost their
corn crop, but that alfalfa came to
their rescue, and helped them out. He
says they cut one crop Of hay III tons
per acre, then 1t came on dry, and the
next crop was cut tor seed, which was
an excellent crop. yielding from 4 to IA
bushels per acre. and the seed is sell
Ing at $500 per bushel which is the
cheapest he ever saw II. Think Of
what alfalfa Is doing for the Kansas
farmers, 1t win do the same thing
here for the South Dakota farmers. II
they only get busy.

throughout the city, in the various un-
dertaking establishments, but this plan
was not a good one, for those searching
for relatives or friends were forced to
go over the entire city. So all of the un-
dertaking establishments were closed and
the bodies taken to the morgue at the
National Cash Register Company, where
they were embalmed and held for rela-
tives. There were e!ghty-four drowned
by the flood and thirteen were killed by
accident. The Bicycle Club of Dayton
was organized into a corps for the collec-
ton of dead animals, and the mem did
good work. We found horses in attics,
in parlors and in pantries, and dead ami
mails, chickens. cats and dogs, were scat
