FOOD AND DRUG LAWS
SUBJECT OF CONFERENCE

Vermilion, S.. D., July 31.-Inspecters
OF the state food and drug department
are in Vermilion today in conference
with the commissioner at the offices or
the department in Science hall of the
university. Matters in connection with
the field work of the department and
new laws to be enforced are topics I'M
der consideration. Among the moro
important subjects are those relating
to the enforcement Of the sanitary food
law and the hotel and restaurant IN
spection law. A recent ruling of the
attorney general on the sanitary law
holds that rules and regulations issued
by the food and drug commissioner UNI
der that law are valid and enforceable
Working under this ruling the commits
sioner expects to accomplish much ~
ing the next two years.
Some important changes were made
in the hotel law by the 1915 legislature
which will result in improved con-
things, the law now specifically re-
quires Mushrooms and individual wash
able towels in all restaurants and no.
tells. the old. familiar comb and brush
for public use in such Mushrooms are
now strictly tabooed, fire escapes which
shall meet with the approval of the
commissioner are required on all build
1ngs three stories in height or over, the
pool hall lunch room must be sep
arated from the pool hall proper by a
partition and the sanitary requirements
are made much more explicit and far
reaching than in the former law.
Inspectors report generally improved
conditions over former years as regards
eggs, the proportion of spoiled eggs
marketed this season being much below
the usual average.

NOT 100000, BUT 100000
ACRES OPEN TO ENTRY

Lennon, S. d, Aug. 4.-The Lem
mon Herald, referring to a Washington
dispatch stating 100000 acres of dry
farming land in Harding. Perkins and
Corson counties is to be opened for set
Element this fall, says:
The dispatch gives the impression
that there are now in the above men
toned counties 100000 acres of land
open to entry. This is an error, as
there are now In these counties only
about 100000 acres that are vacant.
The cause of this error is the designa-
ton of the land in this country is avail
able for additional entry. The 1000, 600
acres includes all the land that has
been subject to homestead entry in this
district and a good share of this land
Is already proved UP and nearly all of
1t has been filed on. A rush at the land
office has already commenced, and it
Is feared that the land office will be
swamped before the erroneous impress
sion is cleared up"

PROFESSIONAL STOCK SNOWMAN
BARRED FROM STATE EXHIBITS

Brookings, S. D., July 31.-"Begin
now to get your live stock in the pink,
of condition for exhibition at the statej
fair" says J. W. Wilson, professor Of!
animal h~usbandry al the South Da-.
kota State college. But do not get,
our stock SO fat that it will destroy
their breeding qualities" Concerning
this subject, Professor Wilson offers
the following valuable suggestions:
THE exhibits of live stock at HI
South Dakota State fair for the past
several years have included some of
the choicest Representatives of the.
popular breeds found in the United
States. For numbers and quality, I do
not believe they have been eXcelled
anywhere in the country. These mi
mails were owned, to a large extent.
not by practical farmers or breeders,
but by men of wealth who begin about
n year ahead of the shows to make
selections. They employ Scotch or Eng
lish boys who were raised with the
animals and these boys put the stock
in the best possible shape for the.
shows. These herds begin their show,
circuit usually at Des Moines, Ia, in.
tional in the fall. 1 am told that this
show, as a business enterprise, pays
out" and the breeder has the advertise
ment for his herd or flock gratis.
This year we will have a different
show at Huron. These professional
showmen will not be permitted to show
with us. With the exception Of horses;
the show will be confined to stock
owned in South Dakota. 1t will be a
real breeders show. We expect to find
breeding condition and not fattened to
the point where it might be questioned
whether they would ever reproduce
themselves. However, we must have our
stock in a condition so their lines will
be well filled out. In, this condition
