HANsEN's SEED IN DEMAND

Orders for FIVE dollar packages of
hardy alfalfa seed have been receiv.
ed daily in large numbers by James
w. Wilson, director of the expert
ment station at Brooklngs. Profess
sor Wilson states that South Dakota
farmers who want this seed should
mail their orders to him at an early
date. The charge fixed by the Board
of Regents is SIS per pound, for 1850
pounds, only one pound to go to each
farmer. Farmers have first choice.
After this demand ceases, remaining
seed will be sold to seedmen and to
outside buyers. Professor Wilson
will test all seed before shipment.
This is an excellent chance for live
agriculturists to begin alfalfa grow
ing on high and dry uplands. There
is a great demand for this seed by
leading farmers in other states who
are engaged in farming uplands.

MILD WEATHER IN HILLS

Deadwood, Feb. 1.-For the first
time in the history of the Black Hills
q January has passed without zero
weather. The nearest approach to it
came early in the month, when the
thermometer dropped to four above
during the night. There has not been
to exceed but three inches of snow here
during the month and less than that
in other sections of the Hills. The
mild weather has prevented any stock
or cattle losses and the homesteaders
on the ranges are all jubilant, as it
permitted them to accomplish work
not hitherto attempted in the winter
and all of them are this spring figuring
on planting larger crops than before.

THE INCREASE IN TAXES

Huron Huronite: It does not make
any special difference to a taxpayer
whether his taxes are increased by
the state or the county. So long as
they are increased under system
that applies to both state and county,
the taxpayer who is increased mater
tally Will object to the system.
That there is general advance in
taxation under the tax commission
plan is shown by Investigations thus
far and Investigations to come will
probably continue to expose further
increases. for they are uniform in
their Increase as far as heard from.
For example, George Kerr knows
that he has to pay, on Jerauld coun-
ty land, $54 more than he paid last
year and it is of no concern to him
whether it goes into state or county
funds.
Eight named land owners in the
northeast township of Beadle county y
know that they are to pay this year
from three to seven dollars more than
last year on each quarter section of
land and they are not taking into &C
count the ultimate destination of the
surplus they contribute, knowing that
it is the system that has reached
them.
Mr.. Kerr has been informed by the
auditor of Jerauld county that
We made out whole abstract of
your taxes yesterday and sent them
to Peter Norbeck, of Redfield. Ii
Norbeck is not your agent, will make
out another.
Mr.. Norbeck is not Mr.. Kerr's
agent, nor has he been authorized to
enquire into his taxation matters.
Mr.. Norbeck is an eminent leader of
the state machine and was evidently
making enquiries in the interest of
the official organization that he repre-.
sents.
The subject of taxation is one that
is bound to be discussed more gener-
ally than it ever has been discussed,
because the state administration has
inaugurated new plan that the peo-
pie do not take to kindly and they
are interested in whatever informa-
tion they can procure thereon.

The grain gamblers under present
