C%odington county will send 100
school boys to camp at the State Col

camp will be given practical farming
demonstrations by the college instruc-
tors. A unique method of making up
the list has been adopted. Under the
direction of the county superintendent
popular elections have been held in all
country schools, the boys to go being
chosen by vote of their fellows. The
Codington County Better Farming as
has been instrumental In
adopting this plan with the aim in

boys in farm work. A certain stand

boys to Brookings.

when the time came to go home he
concluded to take a chance and ride.
When they had got about a mile this
