Commissioners of Codington count,
Saturday news. (Watertown, S.D.) 19??-19??, 1914-10-15

The Saturday News stands for amalgamatlon rather than dup
hcation with reference to our state educational institutions.
Chapter 1874, session laws of 1913, a n act to revise section COS
Of the Revised Political Code, has been referred to the electorate
of the state for approval or rejection.
AS we understand it, the proposed law is intended to require
the state board of regents to provide for an additional two years
collegiate course at the state educational institution at Aberdeen.
The Saturday News believes that We already have too many
Within certain limitations, that are not very limited, either, a CLASH
properly belongs, but also at the agricultural college at Brookings
and at the school of mines in the Hills, and this proposed law seeks
to compel a still further duplication Of the work at Aberdeen.
One university for South Dakota is enough.
One normal school is sufficient for all time to come.
One agricultural college is ample for the whole state.
There is no sense-it is worse than nonsense-to maintain a
normal school at Madison, another at Springfield, a third at Spear
fish, and a fourth at Aberdeen.
The only possible justification for such duplication relates to
railroad fare ON the part of the attending students. Well, let S
pay their railroad fare both ways, and for the holiday vacation
besides, if necessary.
Not only are our state institutions duplicating one another
work, but all Of them are duplicating no small part of our high
school courses.
With the people crying out against high taxation and against
the high cost of living, it seems strange that we haven't the sense,
to term it. to assert our individual and collective independence
The Saturday News is opposed to placing the seal Of approval
upon the referred law. If it were to combine the state university
with the Aberdeen institution, even if it involved the sacrificing of
the buildings at one place or the other, we would favor it.
We prefer amalgamation to duplication.

SHALL CODINGTON COUNTY HAVE A
NEW POOR FARM OR COUNTY ASYLUM?
A Frank and Comprehensive Statement by the Members
of the County Board.

The county commissioners have
vailed a specia! election to be held
on November 3rd, at the same time
and at the same places as the regular
election for the purpose of voting
upon the proposition of whether or
not the county commissioners shall
be authorized 10 eXpend not TO eX-
coed $25, 000. 90, for the purpose of
buying, building and maintaining a
poor asylum. This acton was taken
by the members Of the board of coun-
ty commissioners after due consider
alton OF all matters pertaining to the
poor of the county.
In order that the voters may have
an idea what the county commission
ers have in mind, the commissioners
wish to submit the following infor,
nation for the purpose of informing
the voters as to the situation in re-
gard TO the poor of Codington county.
At the present time the county has
a poor farm that will accommodate
not to exceed eight patients. There
are no accommodations for the sick,
but only accommodations for poor
who are able TO look after themselves
but need the support Of the county.
The poor farm is maintained wholly
by the county. and is o at the pres
ent time paying for itself. or assist
ing to any extent. The building on
the farm is nearly thirty years old,
and inadequate for the purpose for
which It'll S used. 1t would be very
expensive to the county to try to
improve or rebuild this house. The
poor farm is maintained at an ex-
pense of nearly S1,500.00 a year, and
at no time is able to accommodate
to exceed eight patients.
What the commissioners would like
to do, is to erect a building suitable
for the county, one that will accom-
modate at least twenty-six to thirty
patients, and also to equip the same
SO that the sick will be able to be
treated at the poor farm under the
direction of competent nurses and
doctors, to be employed by the coun-
ty; the building to be modern in all
respects, and of sufficient size to meet
the needs of the county, at present as
well as in the future. E
At the present time, the county
cases that need medical attention are
taken to one of the hospitals at Wa
tertown, where, by contract. the
county Is compelled to pay $1.20 per
day for each and every patient taken
to the hospital. Beside this, the
is compelled to expend large
sums of money each year for the
maintenance of the poor in the city
of W~atertown, as we'll as in other
parts of the county. However, the
greater portions Of the need is in the
city of Watertown, where, during
the winter months, a large number of
families are upon the county for sup
port. IL a new farm was established,
the county commissioners could ac-
commodate these poor. at much less
expense, and at far greater advan-
tage than they are able to do at the
present time. During the year, end

Burn the squash vines y is the admonition of Il. C. SEVERN,

beetle is said to hibernate beneath the rubbish, such as vines, that

The Sphinx County Farm Improvement association, in a bulle-
tin, states that certain alfalfa fields that appeared to be dead inl
August have revived under the influence of later rains. The agri-
cultural editor of the Saturday News has known alfalfa fields in
irrigated regions to die out entirely, SO far rs appearances indicated,
because water had been withheld from them, but afterward they re-
Vived when water was turned on. We have also known alfalfa to
revive, in part, after having been without water for a whole season.
Doane Robinson. state historian, who believes that eventually

as amendment No. 8 on the official ballot. The Saturday News
Ibasing its belief upon a wide observation in irrigated regions, coup
Mr.. Robinson's enthusiasm in favor of the project is well founded.
The Saturday News votes yes on the proposition.

CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION"

The anahager8 Of the late Crawford campaign, Mr.. Shober, wend-
ed his way down to Washington the other day to ask congress to
Investigate the Homestake influence in the recent primary campaign
Will reference to Mr.. 5Burkes candidacy.
Since Mr.. shober is reputed to be a supporter of the dem
Taft In 1912 for the presidency, it is presumed that the request for
an investigation is sought on the suppositon that it may have some
nnfayorable bearing upon Mr.. Burke's candidacy since it is obvious
that such an investigation cannot be completed before election.
The Saturday News has heard so much about the Homestake in
1uence in recent campaigns, dating back for a decade or more, and
the great Black Hills company has been so frequently hayed by
campaign speakers within both the leading political parties, that an
investigation which would probe matters to the bottom and reveal
the result Of such probing might clarity the political atmosphere
a trife In this state.
Mr.. Shober, as Crawfords manager, hayed the company alive,
as III were, because it did not pledge its support to the Huron gen
fleman. Years prior thereto the company had been trounced and
Homestake,s influence would be against them.
Tt seems to be the popular thing in South Dakota to seek to
gain a. little political advantage by waloping the Homestake, be
cause it happens to be the biggest corporation in the state.
Even the men who have denounced 1T the most strenuously did
not do SO until they had vainly sought to get pledges of support from
its managers.
BY all means let us have an impartial, complete, unvarnished
investigation. Let it not stop with the last campaign. Let us go
back d decade Or so. Let the why's and the wherefores be uncov-
cred. iii any there be to disclose.
Let us put the IIomestake as a corporation out Of the political
arlna, if III has ever been in it, and il it has never been in let us
publish the fact to the world, so that designing mens-or, at least
aspiring men-eannot utilize the name Of our greatest single cor
poration in the state in the furtherance of their political schemes.

Good Advice.

The poultry experts Of the depart
ment of agriculture claim that It is ad-
visable to market the old hens in the
summer as soon as the second laying
season is over, as hens over two years
old rarely lay as many eggs as they do
in their pullet and yearling seasons
Keep the nests clean; provide one
nest for every four hens; gather the
eggs twice daily: keep the eggs IN .
cool, dry room or cellar. and market
them at least twice a week. Market
all cockereIs except those intended for
breeding purposes, as soon as they
attain broiler size. for they viii pay
a larger profit at this time than if held
until fall. when the market becomes
overcrowded.
