The senate got caught mapping
one day Last week when the bill
came up amending the law regu-
lating the amount of timber that
can be sold on the state lands in
one year. The present law limits
the amount to $4,000, 900 feet, and
it was explained that the proposed
law was the same with only one or
two "minor. changes" After the
bill had been passed by a large
majority, it was discovered that
the minor change was the substi-
tute of the word removed" for the
word "sold." This would permit
one firm to tie up all of the tim Der
in the Hills, the only restriction
being III the amount that could be
removed in one year. Fortunately
the scheme was discovered in time
to have it blocked in the house.

The new primary law is furnish.
ing some rather knotty problems
For instance, it provides that no
signature to a nominating petition
shall be counted if the signing was
done more than 80 days before the
primary election. In most of the
Offices this petition must be filed
60 days before the primaries, thus
leaving 80 days in which to cir
culate the petition. But in the
case of candidates for supreme or
circuit court judges the petition
must be filed 80 days before the
election. Thus the petition must
be signed by from two to five per
cent of the voters, and filed all in
one day. It is a technical error in
formulating the bill but does not
reflect upon the method of making
nominations which the law pro-
yides. The error emphasizes the
imperfections of the direct method
Of enacting laws more than it re-
fleets upon the purpose Of the law.

R. o. Richards is pushing his
plan in the legislature to have a
state intelligence bureau establish
ed. The plan is to have every
person who has anything to sell or
wishes to buy anything, or any
person wanting work or wanting to
hire labor, to register the fact with
the register Of deeds of his county,
and the register in turn files a
copy Of the wants with the secre-
tary Of agriculture. Any inform
alton along these lines can then be
ascertained by applying to the sec
retary Of agriculture. The beauty
of the plan is that it is to be free
bureau, and no provision is made
for any expense to be attached to
the service.

The findings of the legislative
committee that investigated the
penitentiary do no confirm the re-
ports of mismanagement and
brutality that had been charged.
They found the general conditions
good, but some of the committee
thought that the treatment of
prisoners and subordinates by
Deputy Warden Colligan was un-
necessarily harsh. They suggest
cd an improvement in the hospital
conditions would abolish the shirt
factory and purchase a farm on
which some of the prisoners could
be employed.

The legislature did a wise thing
in refusing to pass the bill reliey-
ing insurance companies from the
necessity of publishing their state
ments annually. There is just as
much necessity for an insurance
company to publish its condition
as there is for a bank. It may be
true that the average reader does
not study these statements, but
the fact that they have to be pub
lished acts as a wholesome re-
straint on the companies, for if the
condition is not satisfactory some
one will detect it.

up against another stumbllng

he law provides for the election
Of postmasters by primary vote,

ready for the change on the 4th
of March the democratic chairman
Of Beadle county called primary
for election of postmaster at

When the bill was before the
house TO abolish the publication of
insurance statements Represent
ative Granger created something Of
a sensation by charging that FL. @.
Shober, working thru his lieutenant
Will Farmer, of Huron, had agreed
to get the publication law repealed.
That for this service he was to re-
ceive from the insurance COM
panies an amount equal to the
annual cost of publishing the state
ments, approximately $4,000 and
that he had seen letters from diff
ferent companies which sustained
such a charge. Mr.. Shober was
one of the organizers of the Globe
insurance company, Of Huron.
When Shober was insurance COM
missioner he was charged by Gov.
Hefrled with helng TOO intimately
associated with the insurance COM
panies, and his successor was ap
pointed. He then blossomed Out
az reformer, allied himself with
Mr.. Crawford and got elected
lieutenant governor. From this
position he was given a lucrative
job in Washington which he is
still holding. Representative
Granger should have some good
evidence in his possession before
accusing so good a reformer of be-
ing implicated in such deal.

81 LOSS E EAR
ON BAD SEED CORN
Test Your Seed and Know That
il Will Grow

The loss by using poor seed corn
is far greater than one would sup
pose without careful investigation.
Take the average a of corn with
800 kernals which would produce
800 stalks and 300 ear of corn.
That should produce about 8 bushels
of corn worth 81.
Corn experts announce that a
great deal of seed already tested in
the corn belt of the west is poor,
and that every ear used for seed
should be tested. Some tested seed
corn is found to be entirely dead,
and lone weak in sprout or roots.
None of this should be used. The
time to test corn is between Feby.
20 and March 20. IL your corn does
not test good and strong don't
guess it will do" but throw il
awav and use only the strong seed.

LESS WHEAT
MORE FEED, o
Everything Points To More Mixed
Farming Methods

Public sales of stock, cattle horses
hogs, sheep, the shipping in of cows
and heifers. the grading I'D of dai y
herds. and the talk of farmers all in
dictate the drift of this locality away
from the exclusive wheat farming.
Old readers may remember that
twenty-five years ago the Press
strongly urged this method of farm
ing. The lessons of those DAYS have
caused many farmers to adopt it.
But a few seasons of low pr ices of
stock, or q period of easy money in
raising wheat caused many of the
pioneers to forget their early day
lessons, and they, as we'll as new
settlers. have been tempted towards
the quick returns Of a large wheat
acreage.
In the common parlance of the day,
and the histories of many other
states and localities. there's nothing
to it," In Minnesota. one of the
great wheat states, today they are
advocating raising feed and stock,
with strong emphasis upon corr
farming as now understood by eX,
perts. In North Dakota, dairying
stock raising and mixed farming is
taking a strong hold. These are
among the newer states. Now drop
back to some of the older ones like
Iowa or Wisconsin. and We find thai
they have practically cut out whea,
raising altogether. Experience must
have taught them there was nothing
in it.
In talking with the oldest and most
successful farmers Of Hand County
and there are plenty of them, the
conclusion is unavoidable that the
O a man can devote his time and
energies to raising feed and live
stock, dairving and poultry, and the
less to wheat raising. the sooner he
will reach permanent success.
But these successful farmers state,
this success is not just summer hol,
day. 1t is a sustained, persistent. eff.
fort along definite lines of work for
several years
