HOLSTElNS TO THE 'FRONT.',
BY JOHN e. LARSON.

The school for the feeble-minded
herd of Holsteins, Redfeld, S. D.,
made a fine showing at the recent
state fair. Among their coveted Win
nings was the walkaway in the milk
and butter contest. Four lows entered
from this herd won first. second, third,
and fourth places. To the Jerseys
went fifth and sixth places. Others
did not qualify and withdrew.
Lilly B~eechwood De Kol Burke" a
large matronly cow, won first money.
$40, giving 121 pounds Of milk in two
days. This milk gave products worth
$3.50, butter fat being valued at 30
cents per pound and skim milk 20
cents per cwt. This also entitled her
to the $25 silver cup, a trophy offered
by the State Dairymen's Buttermakers'
association. Redfield Lady. a close

BUSCH ASKS INVESTIGATION.
Takes Firm Stand OF Sunday Rest and
Pleads for Miners.

Lead.-The latest development In
the struggle between Rt. Rev. Joseph
+. Busch, bishop of the Catholic do
cese of Lead. whose jurisdiction eX-
tends over that entire part of South
Dakota lying west of the Missouri riv-
er, and including the Black Hills, and
the powerful Homestake Mining COM
pany, with Sunday observance as the
bone of contention. Is the filing of a
petition by Bishop Busch with the fed
eral secretary of commerce and labor
asking that an investigation be made
of the workings of the Homestake
mines.
1t is expected the petition viii! be
granted and that such an investigd-
ton will be made in the near future.
Bishop Busch formerly made his head
quarters at Lead, where the mines Of
the Homestake company are situated,
but because of the refusal OF the min.
ing company to heed his request that
the hours Of labor of the miners EN-.
ployed by the company be SO arranged
that there would be no interference
with their attendance at church serv.
ices, he some weeks ago, transferred
the headquarters of the diocese to
Rapid City, where he now makes his
home.

northernmost point of North Amer.
let to the isthmus OF Panama.
The survey Of these remote regions
was but n Of the many progressive
improvements for Russia initiated by
that luminous character, Peter the
Great. Planned In his last years. this
most extended OF geographic surveys
ever attempted a known as the
Great Northern expedition; it last
ed II years, from 1925 to 1742. Its
results gave fame to Boring, to Mu.
ravief, to the Laptiefs, to Prontschis-
chef and others. In later days they
were followed by kotzebue, Wrangel,
Anjou and Sannikof.
Early in July, 1913, the ic~e-breakers
Vaigatz and Taimyr left Vladiyostok
to prosecute their survey and to re-
new their efforts to round Cape
Chelyuskin and return to st. Peters
burg through the Kara sea.
The expedition was under command
of General Sergeief, imperial Rus.
sian navy, who was incapacitated by a
stroke OF apoplexy. Lieutenant VIII.
kitzky, imperial navy, succeeded to
the command, made a running survey
OF the Asiatic coast from the KOlyma
river, latitude 20 degrees north, longi.
tude 160 degrees east to Cape Chel
yuskin. 1t is the first time that this
cape has been visited by a ship com.
Ing from the eastward. Wilkitzky's
hopes Of completing the circumnaviga
ton of Asia were destroyed In longi-
tude Sc degrees east, where he found
an impenetrable barrier of sO0id ice.
As the sea was open to the north
he decided to explore this unknown
sea of the Siberian ocean. To his
establishment he 500 sighted high
peaks, the SUBMITS Of a new land. In
latitude 81 degrees north, longitude
100 degrees east, he landed, hOisted
the Russian imperial colors, took pos,
session of the land in the name OF
the car, and named it Nicholas Sec
ond Land.
Wilkitzky followed the land north
ward, finding it with a continuing
northwesterly trend. In latitude 81
degrees north, longitude So degrees
east, he found q pack of solid ice
which forbade further progress,
though the land reached as far as eye
could see. Retracing his course, the
southern extremity of the new land
was found in latitude 70 degrees north
longitude 104 degrees east, whence the
coast took a trend to the northeast
The land is thus known to extend
through more than two degrees of lat
itude, with a coast line Of nearly zoe
miles.

This herd is bred and maintained
primarily to supply dairy products for
the institution and no star boarders
are kept. BY comparison they found
that good breeding and high produc.
ton go hand in hand, and the grade
stock have all been supplanted by reg,
istered stock. The results in this ven.
ture have been most satisfactory.
Much of the young stuff have zone in.

Reverses Yankton Saloon Case.

Pierre.-The supreme court holds,

the city auditor of Yankton must sub.
NIT to the people the question which
they petitioned him to submit, relat-

Gates and reverses the lower court. it
orders that the "cause be ~remanded,
with directions to issue the peremp-
tory writ of mardamus.' The city
commissioners Of YanktOn granted
saloon licenses. A petition, with the
required number of ~signers, asked
that the question be referred to the
people Of the city, but the auditor re.
fused on the ground that a motion
could not be referred. The court now
holds that TN action, resolution or

Work to Improve Rivers.


Elk Point.-The United States gov.
eminent is spending considerable
money on the Missouri and Mississippi
river this last fall and winter. On
the Missouri they are working at two
points, here and near Council Bluffs.
The river and hari r committee de-
cided to spend $4,000 here to protect
Elk Point, which with the $35, 900 pre-
viously appropriated, makes $105, 900
to be spent at this point. The working
men of Elk Point are the gamers by
this appropriation, as the government

$3.50 a day since about the first of DC.

employed now in cutting willows,

it may taxi until March | to complete

new ALFALFA PLANT.
PROF. HANSEN WILL SUPERiN.
TEND PLANTING ALFALFA
NEAR PIERRE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Ptsrre.-Prof. n. f. Hansen of the
state agricultural college was in this
city and went out to the Hurlburt
farm ten miles north of this city to
complete arrangements for extending
the work of spreading upland alfalfa.
Several acres of the yellow flower and
hybrid species were sown on that farm
last year and the seed secured this
last fall, with additions from the seed
secured by Prof. Hansen in his recent
Siberian trip will be used to put in
forty acres on that farm the coming
season. Another trip will be made lat
er to the Jeffries ranch near Sancarc,
Stanley county, where the trial work
will be extended for the present year
Prof. Hansen is somewhat bitter in
regard to the controversy which has
been raised in regard to the dispute
between himself and Mr.. Patterson,
of the Brown County Good Farming
association. He takes the position
that in advertising the seed gathered
in the western part of the state, as
grown OF high dry land Mr.. Patter-
son is attempting to take advantage Of
other growers of alfalfa seed in the
valleys of the different strains. That
there Is no question as to the sue
cess of Turkestan alfalfa in the val
leys as has been proven by many
fields since the first of that species Of
seed was brought to this county b.
him for the government in 1887, and
which was followed by the shipment
Of many ons for general distribution,
but that it is not a success on the
high dry prairies' and in SO advertis-
Ing it the growers are being discrimi-
mated against in attempting to make
sales of their seed which he claims is
grown under the same conditions as
the seed secured by Mr.. Patterson,
and which is all good SEED for the
conditions under which it is grown.
Prof. Hansen oun his inten-
ton of pushing along the lines he has
been working on for several years in
the development Of the Siberian high
land alfalfa. and feels that he is on
the right path toward developing the
western part of the state with the
new species Of alfalfa as well as with
that which has been proven a success
by trials on fields to which it is
adapted.
