MAY NOT DISCRIMINATE
IN BUYING OF CREAM

Pierre, S. D.-There appears to be
sharp competition between cream buy
ers at different towns over the state,
and that in some of the towns, the
buyer is a merchant, and part of his
payment for cream is in trade instead
OF cash. This condition has called out
a query to the state legal department
as to the application of the provisions
|of chapter 356 OF the laws of 1912,
the INSTRUMENTATION act which APP
plies to buying, to such business, and
whether paying in trade Is a discrim-
nation. The department holds that
the act applies to cream buying as
much. as to any other commodity,
and that payment in trade is o dis
~criminatory unless the buyer who
pays in trade makes a better price for
The cream than he does on a cash
payment, in which case it is discrin-
lination and comes within the provis-
lions of the law, which prohibits the
paying OF more by a company or cor
poration for u product in different
towns of the state, other than the
difference in freight charges.

CHELSEA BANK
HAS NOT FAILED
ABSOLUTELY NO FOUNDATION
: FOR REPORT BY COItIsESPON-
DENT-BiNK IN GOOD
SHAPE.

Cheslea, S. D.-Some time ago a
news item appeared in Il number of
northwestern papers. including one
at Pierre, and others at Sioux City,
Chicago and other points, announc-
ing the failure of the Chelsea State
Bank of Chelsea. The first intima-
tion the bank officials had of the re-
port was when checks were returned
from banks in other towns, marked
refused because the bank had failed.
1T was later learned that statements
had appeared in several newspapers
to the effect that the institution vas
in the hands of the public examiner.
President b. w. Shouweiler of the
bank, who is president of a string of
banks in the state, all of which are
financially sound, is investigating
the source of the rumor and it is
said will institute suits for damag-
es. 1t is believed the mistake occur
red because of the fact that a bank at
Cresbard, near Chelsea was in liqui-
dation at the time the Chelsea report
was printed, some newspaper CORES
pendent evidently having confused
the two banks in his report.

NEED CITY'S "Y"
CONNECTION WOULD BE ADVAN-

HOG MARKET.

That the connection of the OMAHA
and Milwaukee systems in Mitchell
would open UP greater trade territory
for the city and the towns in the sur
rounding country was indicated this
afternoon in the opening testimony
given before representatives of the
state railroad commission at the city
hall.
The hearing. which was commenc-
ed shortly after 2 o'clock in the adj
ditorium, was presided over by j. j.
Murphy, Il member of the state cont
mission. p. w. Dougherty, assistant
attorney general. was present in his
official capacity as counsel for The
commission.

witness called to the stand by Judge
Herbert. Following the oyerruling OF
an objection by Mr.. Grantham, tina,
the Commercial club had no direct
interest in the case and had Instituted
it in behalf OF other interests, Mr.
Herrick vas allowed to proceed. He
declared that the chitf Industries al
fected by the case were wholesale
grocery. fruit, lumber, seed, harness
and creamery companies. He specifi
ed five lumber companies, all line
yards, that were directly involved IN
the controversy
George w. Dlackwood, a live stock
dealer OF Spencer, was the second
witness called to the stand. Mr.. Black
wood testified that he shipped annu
ally 100 carloads OF live stock, most
ly to Sioux City and Sioux Falls.
In shipping stock to Sioux City,
said Mr.. Blackwood it was necessary
to transport it about 200 miles, as
the cars had to be handled through
Sioux Falls and Worthing, MINI.
With a connection possible in Mitch
ell, the distance to Sioux City would
be shortened to 100 miles.
MIR. Nlackwood declared that the
connection would be a great benefit
to himself, in that it would permit
him to market hogs at Seattle, where
better prices generally prevail than in
the east. The fact that the Omaha
and Milwaukee stock loading yards
are two miles apart prevents this, he
testified.

State democratic minority commit
teemen, who met at Pierre a week
ago today and passed resolutions and
did not propose a ticket, may be fined
and imprisoned under the Richards
primary law if they attempt to draw
per diem and mileage for the trip.
Statements calling attention to tin
fact that this act constitutes Il misde
meanor have been mailed from Hur-
on, possibly under the inspiration OF
the man who was instrumental in
getting the law on the statute books.
Political leaders in Mitchell today
were of the opinion that the Huron
statement was a bit OF strategy aga
inst the protests that have arisen over
the Richards law.
One leader in the democratic coui,-
ellis in Mitchell declared that the tire.
mendous expense involved through
the working of the Richards law had
raised a storm of protests and that
threats of prosecution against any
committeeman, who drew mileage

primary law in every particular Nigh

from Huron:

to comply with the requirement O

as follows:
AT the time ! made my announce

that he would not be a candidate and
from my knowledge of him in public

COSTLY SEED
FREE TO FARMERS
But EACH CAN HAVE ONLY ONE
OUNCE or HARDY SIBERIAN
ALFALFA.

Samples OF the latest variety OF
Siberian alfalfa seed to be brought
to this country, secured by Prof. n.
re. Hansen nea Cemipalatinsk, Siber-
it, in a region Of s inches annual
rainfall and with much cold weather
Will be distributed free to the farm
ers of South Dakota.
This agreement was reached by the
state board OF regents, who met at
Brookings last week to audit the eX-
penses incurred by Prof Hansen on
the trip from which he returned in
December. A. Il. Hitchcock, who au-
thorized the statement. returned from
Broollings last evening.
But as each county in the state will
receive only rs pounds of the seed,
only II ounce will be given to eacn
farmer. AS there are about $4,000
seeds to an ounce, the amount is not
as small as might be imagined. 1t is
recommended that the farmers plant
the seed in their gardens and later
transplant it to their alfalfa fields.
Prof. Hansen brought back $3.50
pounds of seed in all. AS the state il
entitled to 1000 pounds, the remain
der will be sold for IS a pound, nc
farmer to be allowed to purchase
more than five pounds. After all
farmers have been supplied, seeds
men and dealers will be allowed tc
purchase the seed.
One reason for the special action
of the regents in the matter was tina,
Prof. Hansen exceeded by $4,000 tho
appropriation made by the 1913 leg
islature. In explaining this, Prof
Hansen declared that he engaged the
native Siberians to gather the seet
from the wild plants growing on thu
steppcs around Ccmipalantinsk ant
that he was forced to buy the excess
brought in and avoid a riot or tn,
chances OF personal injury. BY TIL,
sale of the seed, which was declare.
to be lawful by the governor. tn,
state auditor and the attorney gen
lcral, 1t is planned to make up the de
ficit.
The report of the state experiment
station in ~propogating and distribut
ing hardy alfalfa in western Soutl
Dakota, which was filed with til,
regents, showed that $1,000 had bee
expended in the work during March
April, May and June, 1913. The las
legislature appropriated $4,000 TO
this purpose. which will leave $500
available for the fiscal year com
mencing July j. 1914.
The experiments to be made thi
coming year will be on fewer tracts
but of larger size. Over 1000 pound
of alfalfa seed were obtained for eS
pertinent purposes last year, prineiI
ally of the Charno.and Cossack vari
tics. The specified purpose of the eN
periments is to get a variety Of al
falfa that will withstand the col
weather and dry spells OF the coun
try west of the Missouri river in tn
state.
