MONEY FOR STATE
GOVERNMENT WILL PROVIDE
$4,000 FOR AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION.

Pierre, May 19.-Governor Byrne
has received a copy of the law and
the instructions as to the require
ments which will give South Dakota
a share in the new act of congress
for state aid to agricultural extension
work. This aid is in the shape of an
annual appropriation of $4,000 to
each state in the union, which main
tains an agricultural college, which
is qualified to receive government
aid under past congressional acts. To
secure this requires the assent of the
Legislature of the state in case that
body is in session, and If no then
the assent of the governor to get the
fund for this year. After this year
the fund Increases at the rate of
$500, 900 for the fiscal year follow
ing 1914, and $500, 600 per year for
seven years following, after which
the annual appropriation in excess of
$48, 900 a year will be $4.100,000.
The annual appropriation OF $4,000
to each state is a fixed sum. All in
excess of that will only be distributed
on a basis of rural population of each
state according to its ratio of rural
pOpuldllOH VI TIC "hoit eouhtis anu
further after there has been appro-
priated by the legislature of the state
or donated by county, college, local
contributions, or individual dona-
tions, a sum equal to the ratio to
which the state may be entitled. This
fund shall be used for agricultural
extension work through such college
or colleges as are designated by the
acceptance on the part of the govern
or or the legislature, so long as they
are within the provisions covered by
the bill, which in this state limits to
the state agricultural college; and
none of the funds are to be diverted
to construction of buildings, special
trains, or a number of other specific
prohibitions under penalty of cutting
off future appropriations from the
fund, all to be used exclusively in
agricultural extension work as pro-
vided in the act, which provision is
that such work shall be giving of
instruction and practical demonstra-
tions in agricultural and home eco

subjects through field demonstra-

PROSECUTING for Emigrants To Come
To This Country.

Pierre, May 19.-Germany's laws
will not permit this country, or this
state, to, in any way, proselyte there,
and encourage the German citizens
to emigrate to America. Immigra-
tion Commissioner MacCaffree has,
however, a very urgent request from
a German citizen for detailed infor-
nation as to South Dakota forest
lands, the cost Of living here, our
school status, and ways and of
securing land. The commissioner will
be able to write an answer to such a
personal inquiry, and will send the
immigration material and statutes
requested, and he believes that in
that way they may be accepted by
Germany. The department would
not be allowed to distribute material
in general there, as is done in a num-
Der of foreign countries, because Ger
many is now engaged in a great cam
paign towards the encouragement of
people to remain there and not seek
homes in this western country.
