BIG BUNCH OF
ATHLETES COMING
FROM SOUTH DAKOTA COLLEGES
FOR TRACK MEET ON THE
STATE FIELD
FIVE COLLEGES WILL Be REPRESENTED
Over One Hundred Athletes Will Be
Entered and Meet is Expected to
Be the Best one of the Year

At least one hundred college ath-
letes representing the University of
South Dakota, Huron College, Yankton
College, Dakota Wesleyan University
and State College will compete in the
first state track and field meet ever
held on the State College athletic
field. Gold, silver and bronze medals
will be awarded to the winners of the
different places, and a trophy to the
winning team. The meet will be held
May II.
This invitation meet will doubtless
revive the old state meet which was
formerly held In Huron. The event Is
anticipated with considerable eager.
ness by the colleges of the state for
the fact that it will give a better oppor-
tunity for establishing the champion
ship than the tri-state meet which
has been held at Huron for the last
two years. A large crowd of rooters
is expected from every institution
town, with doubtless a special train
from Huron. The meet will begin at
2 O'Clock and finish at 4:30. The
State College track is in exceptional
good condition. being completely Gin
dered with 220 straight-away for the
dashes and a cement curbing at the
pole. The straight-away will accom-
modate ten lanes in the spirits.
Coach H. w. Ewing of State College
has the following to say regarding
some of the men who will compete.
For the University Quigley, who
holds the conference record in the 22O
coz sec. fat and 100 yard dashes no
fat, Vidal and Meade will star. Quig-
ley will doubtless win the conference
high hurdles and be a strong conten-
der in the low hurdles. Vidal has
high-jumped six feet and Meade runs
a fast, quarter mile.
Huron will pin it's hopes on Mar
key and Dickey. Markey should give
Quigley a good chase in both the 100
and 220 yard sprints. Dickey holds
the state high school record in The dis
Gus throw C121 ft.)
Chase in the hammer throw, Wood.
ward in the pole vault, and Cass in
the 100 and 22O are Dakota Wesleyan's
mainstays. Cass will be one Of the
real contenders in the spirits.
"Yankton will show up strongest
in the middle distances, with Steven
son in the half-mile, and Robinson and
Dyer in the mile.
Although State College has no ex-
ceptional stars 1t has a well-balanced
team. Capt. Laxson in the javelin
throw, high and broad jumps, Lynch,
winner in the conference half-mile last
year, Strahan and Mathiesen together
with a few promising freshmen should
be strong coptenders in the half mile,
mile and two-mile. Caldwell will in
all probability win a place in the 100
and 220. Stevens has been showing up
well in the shot put and Johnson in
the discus throw, while Wagner and
Hoover are doing well with the ham,
mer. These men with Captain Lax
son should make State especially
strong in the field events"

in the northeast section Is So, north.

suffered least in the first and second

also show wheat conditions fairly we'll
maintained, as do q few counties in the
extreme northwest portion. In How
ard, Cooper, Bates and few other
counties, condition Of wheat has gone
back approximately so per cent since

The lower condition Of wheat Is due
in the main to the work Of the Hessian
flies, whose existence in many fields
was not known until ten days or two

.dtaary farm II bred to good stallion
should produce several good colts
every year, besides doing the ordinary
farm work. To secure the best results
the brood mare that does the farm
work must be given the best of care
and attention.
The use Of silage as horse feed
still is debated question. Some
horsemen have used it successfully
and others have had disastrous results
All silage fed to horses should be
sweet and fresh. Moldy or spoiled
silage also is an unsafe feed for
horses because of the danger Of caus-
ing collie. The silage should be made
of fairly mature crops, and it should
be stored in the silo properly.
II you don't speak to the horse ev.
cry time you pass behind his heels,
you may wake up some morning with
skinned head or a broken bone
When horse hears racket behind
him, sometimes he doesn't wait to see
what it is, but whacks away at it with
both feet
Be careful with the colt you are
breaking this spring. Don't try to
do it all in one day., If you do you
may not only break him to work, but
you may break his heart as well. Get
him used to pulling gradually. 1t isn't
reasonable to expect colt to 60 out
in the field hitched to disk or pillow
and do as much as the old seasoned
horse.

There is nothing more profitable
to the average farmer than the raising
of a few good draft horses" says DR..
G. w. McCampbell. secretary Of the
state live stock registry board, pro.
vided he has plenty of pasture. and &C.
cess to q good stallion"
II a good stallion Is not standing
for service In a community, the man
who has at least five or six good farm
mares can afford to own his own stall
lion and use him as work horse. A
coming two-year-old stallion can be
bought for approximately $500 and
taken in hand at this age. he makes an
excellent work horse.
The raising of draft horses Is differ
ent from that OF any other live stock
on the farm. Important factors are
good food and attention. Good breed
ing gives the possibilities, but good
feeding is necessary to bring this out
to its fullest extent.
1t Is better for the man of limited
means, believes Doctor McCampbell,
to raise horses only as a by.product,
because the exclusive raising of draft
horses for market requires consider.
able capital. The returns at first are
slow. for draft horses must be six
years old. before they are ready for
market. The man who has other cash
crops to meet his expenses can afford
to wait for the returns from his young
draft horses.

EASIER TO PREVENT

Most Satisfactory Method En-.

This annoying and wasteful disease

vigorous birds; by feeding clean and
wholesome feeds and BY taking every
precaution to keep the disease from
the farm and flock.
II any Of the birds do develop roup
or extremely bad colds. they should
be removed from the flock and the

valuable it IL advisable to kill and
bury all sick fowls. With all birds
that are worth the time necessary to
give them individual treatment, the

ful.
Thoroughly clean the nostril and

INJUNCTION GRANTED
IN DITCH QUARREL

Judge Cole this morning granted Z.
II. lockwood Of CaleXico a permanent
injunction against W. II. and Mary
Holz from damming a ditch which
crosses their place southwest of here
and which serves Rockwood's eighty
with water. Through Attorney Fore
man, lockwood alleged that he has an
easement and has enjoyed the use
Of the canal previous to the purchase
by which Holz obtained the 80 acres
adjoining the lockwood place. Last
spring Holz filled in 80 rods Of the
ditch and lockwood sought the relief
granted this morning.
A case resembling that instituted
by lockwood was filed this morning
by f. J. Eddy. He alleges that Gil
bert House, whose place adjons his,
has sought to have the mutual water
company serving him deliver water
in new ditch, but which the mutual
company has refused to do because
discontinuance Of the present ditch
would deprive Eddy of service. Eddy
asserts that House has threatened to
fill up the present ditch, which, if
done, he says, would cause him loss of
crops, and asks that House be en-
