Trom MONDAYS Daily

FROM MONDAY S Daily
The entire state of South Dakota
has been drenched by rain which has
been falling since late Saturday even
ing. The precipitation has ranged
from n 10 three inches in various
parts of the state.
The rain of Thursday night and
during the past two days have given
the crops of South Dakota bumper
prospects for this fall and the value
Of the moisture cannot be estimated.
With the seeding practically finished
in this portion of the state, the rains
VII give the crops a mighty impetus
towards heavy yields this fall.
Rain is Gpportuue.
A week ago the soil in central
South Dakota was mo.stened for two
or three inches On the top, so that
the moisture which is soaking in now
came at a most %opportune time. 1t is
estimated by grain dealers that the
ground is soaked we'll to the depth
OF a foot and hat favorable condi-
lions will prevail up to June Is.
The precipitation in Mitchell since
Saturday evening had amounted to
1.2S inches up to 1 O'Clock today. AT
1880 o'clock this morning the rain
had reached a depth of .85 of an inch
and during the forenoon was .43 of
an inch more. The downpour On
Thursday evening totalled .3S of an
inch.
Range Country Soaked.
Reports at the Milwaukee dispatch
cr's Office this morning indicated that
the entire state had been visited by
good rains. On the Iowa and Dakota
division, the rain had extended in
generous quantities west from Mar
ion Junction TO the Black Hills where
it has been falling continually since
Saturday night.
The rainfall in the range country
west of the Missouri river, IS report
ed to be the best for several seasons
and the crop outlook is booming. AT
Presbo, the tracks of the Milwaukee
road are reported under a few inches
of water, due to rains, The northern
port of the state has been equally
fortunate in the amount of rain.

Some Of That Cost

Much is being said of the great
cost Of marke ting farm products and
its effect up on the cost of living.
There would. be a great saving if
the VACANT .ands, like those of Wis
consin, that, are near the great mar
ketcs were lsed instead of those at a
great dista nee. For Illustration: when
the Texas onion grower pays 4S cents
per bushe,y frei ght on onions that
sell for 60 cents per bushel, the
grower gets 20 her cent for his eff
forts.
When the :Wiset msin farmer ships
onions to the same great market and
pays nine cents er bushel freight
and they sell for tt ne same 60 cents
per bushel, he gets S5 per cent fol
his work. Apply this Thought to farm
ing and you will b, inclined to 10
cate near great mark cts.

But as to fixing the responsibility
for injury from the operation of air.
ships, the law seems to be inclined
to hold the aeronaut to strict &C
count. If the aeronaut wishes to take
the risk of riding in the air, he must
further take all the risk of causing
injury to persons or property over
which he passes. AS matters stand
now, even in the absence of stat
ute fixing the responsibilities, as in
Connecticut, person injured by an
airship may almost certainly recover
damages from the aerOnaut. If a
passing airship let's fall any object
which Injuries your personal proper
ty you may sue the person who is
responsible for the operation of the
airship.
A few cases have already arisen
in England A British aeronaut was
driving his aeroplane and attempted
to descend into a field. The field
was occupied by COW and the cow
apparently resented the appearance
of this strange object from above. AS
the aeroplane descended the cow

demonstrations. The aeronaut endeav
Ored to avoid the Infatuated bovine,
but was unsuccessful and her COW
ship succeeded in plunging beneath
the machine just as it reached the
earth. The results were disastrous
to the COW, and the sequel came
when the farmer who owned the COW

damages for the loss Csf the cow.
The aeroplane has found it's way

TELLS HOW TO MAKE
DOLLARS IN DAlRYlNG

ITO become skillt I'll and successful
In the care, feedin 6, selecting and
breeding of dairy COWS means to be
successful iln the business of dairy
ing is statement made by George
c. Humphrey of the University OF
Wisconsin College of Agriculture in
a bulletin on dairyiIlg published by
the Wisconsin Bank ers' association,
and distributed by bankers in the
various sections of the state.
To show that Their is vast diff
ference in the profit producing capa-
bilities of dairy anIna ais, Mr. Humph-
rey cites the records of three differ
ent classes of cows found in the
University herd One lot averaged
1929 pounds of butt er fat per year
another 3O1.S pound Is, and a third
1858 pounds. The lreturn over the
feed cost for the bes t producers was
S7O.54 per year per COW, the second
S42.1S, an d the last $18.01. Although
each gro,np required about the same
care and feed, the total production
and pr oft varied widely.
In urging that gre alter effort be
made to care for cows in the best
pos sible manner, to fe,ed them better
rat ions, to improve tn cir individual
itW and to- breed to Insure larger
rumber of offspring wi lich would de
Velop into profitable cows, Mr.
Humphrey offers the following sug
gestions for the care OF: cows during
the winter months: Feed COWS
daily one pound of grain for every
three pounds of milk produced, 2;
to 40 pounds corn silage, and what
ever clover or alfalfa hay they will
eat. Do not keep them out in the
cold for a! longer time tn an they ap
pear to enjoy such an outing. ALLOW
them to have water which is not
colder than that from a deep well
Keep them in clean, we'll lighted

Popular Talks on Law

flying over French territory, and
make such regulations as may be
necessary.
Among the American states Con-
nectcut has taken the lead in pass
ing legislation of this character A
law entitled AN Act Concerning the
Registration, Numbering, and Use of
Air Ships, and the Licensing of OPP
orators Thereof was passed by that
state in 1911. Under this law, air
ships are subject to regulations SIM
liar to those generally applied to au-
tomobiles. The owner must file GER
tain information with the Secretary
of State, pay a fee, receive cert1-
ficate emitting him to fly, and a
number. This number must be dis
played on the airship in letters not
less than three feet in height. Air
ships may be operated only by Ii
censed aeronauts.
This law fixes the responsibility
lOI oil ItSuILlIS ucllloSSS III ClS loI-
lowing section:
Every aeronaut shall be RESPONSE
BILE for all damages suffered in this
state by any person from injuries
caused by any voyage in an airship
directed by such aeronaut; and if he
be the agent or employe of another
in making such voyage his principal
or employer shall be responsible for
such damage.
The states of Massachusetts and
New York are considering similar
legislation and before many years it
seems probable that every state will
have acted on this subject.
The question of fixing the respon-
sibility for damages, which has been
cared for in the Connecticut act is
one that is likely to be of immediate
Importance. The dangers of airships
passing over property are consider
able Parts, baggage, or ballast might
be dropped, causing injury to persons
or property beneath. The fall of an
aeroplane upon a city might occa-
sion severe damage to those on land,
as we'll as to the unfortunate aero
naut But fancy the damages result
ing from a collision between two
giant airships of the Zepplin type!
With the present interest in avia-
ton and the popular encouragement
which it is receiving, the attitude of
the law makers is likely to be ia
vorable to them as far as granting
to them the right to freely navigate
the air is concerned. Land owners
are not likely to endeavor to demand
a fee from aeronauts passing over
their property. The legislators are
likely to grant great freedom of pas
sage and the courts are likely to
sustain the legislation Of course, a
property owner might object that
when the legislature grants the right
to navigate the air freely it gives a
right to pass over his land and thus
takes away from him a portion of his
property. Such a contention, if made,
will raise some interesting cases, the
result of which no one can foresee.

WHO OWNS THE AIR?

Free as air" is proverbial and
so long as man had not succeeded
in mastering the air this was true
enough There was air sufficient for
all of us and as none could navigate
it with any success, questions of the
control of the air did not arise.
But now we have the aeroplane
and the airship and We are in what
promises to be the beginning of an
age of aviation. So it is that the law
is beginning to develop; to keep
pace with the development of aero
nautics. AS yet, flying machines are
few in number, but it seems that we
may we'll look forward to a time in
the not far distant future when the
passage of aeroplanes and airships
above us will be no uncommon spec
tacle. What right has the aeronaut
to pass above our property? What
are his liabilities in case he causes
injury to those below him? These
and many similar questions are aris-
ing, and the law is preparing to an
sWer them as they arise.
If one passes over your land on
the surface, without permission, he
has committed a trespass and though
he may have caused no appreciable
damage to your premises you may
recover small damages in court of
law by way of vindicatiOn of your
rights. What are your rights against
the aerOnaut who passes through the
air above your property? 1t is a
persons property extends indefi-
nitely upward and indefinitely down
ward. This rule has existed since the
beginnings of law, and under it one
has control of the area above his
land. A strict observance of this
rule would lead to this result: An
aeronaut who passes above your land
is a technical treSpaSser, and though
he drops nothing upon you or yours,
though he causes you no real injury,
he has violated your rights-he has
trespassed-and you may sue him
and recover damages. Such would be
the logical result of the application
of the law as it has long existed in
Englishspeaking countries.
But it seems highly improbable
that the law will be allowed to re-
main in this condition. Aviation has
come to stay and it would seem to
be a necessity that aeronauts be al
lowed to pass freely over the prop
erty beneath, whether it be private
ly owned or a public highway. This
necessity seems certain to cause a
change in the law, which is likely
to come in the form of legislative
enactments concerning flying ma
chimes The French have already
taken action, a law having been re-
Gently enacted which extends to
aeronauts free right to navigate the
air passing where they will. The ma
ton retains the general control of
the air, however, so that it may
prevent any but French airships from
