For some reason or other the law
providing for a meeting of county audi
tors at the capital before assessment
time for conference with the auditor
over the matter of assessment was
repealed by the last legislature. But
the tax commission deems such a con-
ference of such great Importance that
county boards were asked to pay the
expenses of their county auditor, and
practically all Of them have agreed to
do so. The Brookings county board
was among this number and Auditor
Ripley will attend the meeting at
Pierre next Tuesday.
The only fat rumped lamb in the
country made its appearance at the
State College farm last Friday. She
is the first daughter of one of the ewes
which Prof. Hansen brought from
Siberia. Topping the scales at eleven
pounds she far outweighs the average
lamb, which can claim only seven to
nine pounds. This lamb has no tail,
but is decidedly fat-rumped. In fact
this breed of sheep Is fat rumped
than fat-tailed,-the latter popu-
lar expression being a misnomer. Ac-
cording to Prof. ]. w. Wilson, director
of the experiment station, this lamb
bears the distinction of being the only
one of it's kind in the country. The
mother eve and the rest Of the pen
will o o be mated with ordinary
sheep to discover whether any desir-
able qualities will result in the cross.

When Andy Carnegie hands around
another lot of hero medals we are go
ing to insist that Charlie Locke and
Clarence Beatty be not forgotten.
Through their heroic efforts the life OF
the newly born fat-tailed sheep at
the college farm was saved to poster
ity, and who knows but what this
little stranger whose ancestors had
their abiding place in far on ST.
IBERIA, may be the means of giving to
