ment Of AgricultureJ
The Office of farm management Of
the department Of agriculture has gath.
cred data from $4,000 farmers in diff
ferent parts of the United States and
has made many direct observations
as to the amount of work that can be
expected in harvesting corn with diff
feren, machinery and by hand. The
number of acres that can be covered
with different kinds of machines and
different numbers of horses a day has
been averaged, and while these aver
ages should not be taken as indicating
the minimum or maximum amount OF
work that should be accomplished on
any Individual farm, they are of serv-
ice in enabling the farmer to judge
the rate of work, and also to lay out
his work so as to give enough time
for each operation. While on some
farms the average may be exceeded
in many cases. IL will be somewhat
high. but at any rate the average can
be used on the average farm in ~.

RESERVOIR TO AID CROPS
Irrigation Plan Promises Better Yield
in South Dakota.

Belle Fourche, April Options
have been obtained by II. S. Over
peck, acting is agent for an irriga-
ton association, on several hundred
acres of land in the vicinity of Chick
en creek, fifteen miles southwest OF
Belle Fourche.
The plan is to establish a large
reservoir with a capacity of $500
scre-feet, on a fiat in that part of
the country, and to this reservoir the
surplus water from Spearish creek
will be conveyed through a canal
during the winter months, when the
water from this stream is not used
by the irrigators along the Spearish
valley. This water will be held in
the reservoir until the irrigating sea-
son is on, when it will be turned into
Chicken creek, passing down this
stream to the Redwater and thus be
conveyed to the bitches of the asso-
citation and other ranchers who take
water from Redwater.
For several years past there has
been a scarcity of water in the Red
water bitches at a time when the
crops were much in need of moisture,
and the loss sustained by the farmers
has been large.

DR.. THIBODEAU
WILL PREACH A BETTER SER
MON NEXT SUNDAY ON AC-
COUNT OF WILLARD'S
PUNCH.

DR.. A. ID. Thibodeau, pastor of
Sheridan Road Methodist church,
Chicago. formerly pastor of the
Methodist church of Madison, has
been inspired by the punch of the
white hope and promises to preach a
better sermon in Chicago next Sun
day on account of the victory of Jess
Willard over Jack Johnson. The
Chicago Tribune of the 9th inst,
gives the following sentiments of the
reverend gentleman:
Jess Willard, the new worlds pug
ilistic champion, will be responsible
for the preaching of one good sermon
next Sunday.
This at least is the assertion of the
Rev. DR.. A.. ID. Thibodeau, pastor of
the Sheridan Road Methodist Episco-
pay church, Sheridan road and Mont
ros boulevard.
DR.. Thibodeau's enthusiastic utter
ance was made as he stood in The
Tribune office yesterday listening to
the reading of the kilograms receiv-
ed at brief intervals from the Trib-
une's correspondent at Havana.
Twentieth round" announced the
reader. Jack drove Willard around
the ring"
Say, you don't suppose johnson
will win. do your" asked the nervous
minister.
"Twenty-third round. Willard
landed his left to Johnson's body"
Good" said DR.. Thibodeau. Say
| believe / can preach a better SER
mon next Sunday If Willard wins"
The twenty-sixth round came and
with it the flash over the wire, "Wil-
lard wins"
DR.. Thibodeau went away with a
smile. If his sermon has more punch
in it next Sunday than usual his
hearers will understand.

DAKOTA LAWS INVALID
Legal Department Holds Certain
1911 Acts Unconstitutional.

Pierre, April THAT the provis-
ions of certain laws of 1911 are I'M
constitutional and void is the opinion
of the state legal department. on in
curry of State Land Commissioner
Hepperlee. That section is in rela-
ton to compensation for permanent
improvements placed upon state
lands. It's closing provision holds:
"Said deposit to be paid to the own
er of said dam or well, said payment
to be credited upon rent or purchase
price of said highest bidder for the
lands upon which said dam or well is
located"
This provision was made a part OF
the act on the grounds that when a
leaseholder on state lands place such
permanent improvements AS well or
dam on the same he should be COM
pensated by the payment of at least
one-half the cost of the same IL the
land was leased or sold to another.
This provision is held to be In vio-
lation of sections 2 and 8, article 3
of the constitution, which prohibits
any of the principal or interest OF the
school fund to be diverted from the
benefit of the schools in any manner.
Such payment out Of lease money is
held to be diverting the income; and
out of sale price the diversion of the
principal, neither of which is allow
able.
On inquiry from the states attor-
ney of Haakon county, it Is held that
when salaries Of county officials are
fixed on a valuation basis where new
counties are created by division of es-
tablished counties, the valuation OF
the portion segregated must be secur-
ed from the records OF the old county
! as a basis for such salaries.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April Special:
While the furious struggle for the
Carpathian passes, in which the Rus
slams appear to be making steady
progress, is the dominating feature
in the great European struggle, the
situation in Italy is attracting much
attention. The Italian government is
continuing with great activity the as
sembling of troops On the Austrian
frontier, according to reports reach
ing Chiasso, Switzerland, from Aus
trian sources.
The concentration of troops, 1t is
said. is so complete that IL includes
full supplies of ammunition and hos
pitfalls and airships. 1t is stated that,
in view of these preparations, should
the government order the so called
red mobilization it would be mere
ly a formality.
In the Carpathian contest the Rus
slams are fighting on the Hungarian
side of both the Dukla and Lupkow
passes. The latest Russian official
statement the capture of
Cisna, which is about fifteen miles
east of Lupkow and is an important
railway station.
The Russians also claim a success
to the north of Czernowitz, Buko4
wilma, where 1000 Austrians were
captured.
The Austrians assert that they re-
pulsed a Russian force which was at
tempting to cross the Dneister river.
In the western theater little fight
ing of Importance has taken place.
The French claim to have captured
three successive lines of trenches in
the Forest DAILY, south of st. Mi
hiel, and to have gained & footing in
a portion of the enemy's works
northeast of Regnieville. The Ger
mans that they repulsed
French attacks in the Woevre and
Argonne regions.
The German submarine U-31 has
sunk the Russian bark Hermes and
the British vessel Oliyine.
Great excitement has been caused
in Genoa by the receipt of a report
that a German submarine has sunk
the Italian steamer Lugui Parodi,
which left Baltimore on January %
with coal for Genoa. The Italian
authorities have taken strong meas
ures TO protect the German colony
The crew of the Lugui Parodi was
made up entirely of Genoese and
nothing has been heard from them.
The Bulgarian government has eX-
planned that rebels were responsible
for the recent raids in Serbia, and
has promised to take steps to disarm
them. The United States govern
ment has made public the note sent
to Germany on the sinking of the
American ship William p. Frye by
the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich. Indemnification to
the amount of $28S,O59, with inter
est, is asked.
The Dutch government has notified
the United States that any foreign
ship which misuses the Dutch flag, or
in any other way ~pretends to be OF
Dutch nationality, will not be per
mitted to leave or pass through wa
tiers governed by The Netherlands.
The king of England has taken 8
definite stand on the question of tee
totalism. In an official announce
ment his majesty commands that nc
wines or spirits shall be used by any
Of his household after April 6.
