ward general investigation as to what
should be the proper initial time for

asking the hundreds Of toll companies
operating in the state to file with them
complete detailed statements showing

and showing OF the toll stations and
equipment for each of them; an item
lied statement OF cost Of reproduction

VERMILLIoN WILL VOTE
ON MUNICIPAL CHANGES

Vermilion. S. D., Nov. 10.-Dissatis-
faction with the present municipal
form of government has resulted in a
petition being filed with the county
commissioners, asking them to call a
special election and submit to the vot-
ers the proposition OF abandoning the
commission form Of city government
and returning to the old city council
system. The city commissioners have
not yet called the special election, and
will not do so for a week or 10 days,
in order to give City Attorney Payne.
an opportunity to study the matter and
discover whether or not various COM
plications that might result can be done
away with. Just how to elect a new
city council is one OF the problems that
the commissioners have under consid-
Grafton. 1t also is believed that the
school board would be legislated out of
office IL the city council plan is sub
stituted for the present commission
plan. This is the second time since the
commission form was adopted that an
effort has been made to have a special
election called with the object of re-
turning to the city council system. The
first petition, filed last spring, was
rejected by the city commissioners be-
cause 1t was found to contain less than
the legal number of signers.

SPECIAL ADVICE FOR
HANDLING SEED CORN
BY COLLEGE EXPERTS
Important to Make Provisions
Now to BE Protected For
Next Years Crop.

Brookings. s. D., Nov. ga. ~.
Hume, agronomist ut the state agr1-
cultural college, has given out the fol-
lowing advice on the necessity OF farm
of a supply of good seed for next
spring:
"other things equal, this seasons
crop OF seed corn is best for next
springs planting. But, this year. 9TH
er things are not equal. In some To-
calities things are very UNEQUAL. Some
fields Of corn failed TO ripen suffi-
GENTLY to make seed; some will make
seed IL carefully stored; some fields
matured this season in excellent
shape.
ION the third day of September at
Iroquois the writer saw ears OF corn
solid enough for seed The next day
at Yankton larger grower said that
another week would put his seed crop
out OF danger OF being actually ruined
by frost. The state at large Is appar-
emily in position to supply itself with
new corn for seed.
Accordingly, the writer believes 1t
will not be absolutely necessary to de-
pend entirely on old corn for next
years seed. The important part OF the
matter Is that every corn grower SHAH
Immediately secure seed corn, either
old or new, and preserve 1t for day
to come.
II you know or q GRID OF ola COTn
grown in your community which you
think may be suitable for seed, ex-
anime IL carefully. If the ears are
solid, free from mould, and IL the
kernels have germs that are Of good
flesh color, not blackened. the pros
pect is promising that 1t will make
good seed. You may decide to keep
the entire crib and use IL for seed pur-
poses instead Of feeding. Before de-
Gliding this, you may as well make a
composite termination test of the crib
Keeping corn that would fail to grow
would be of no advantage.
Select 100 ears from different posi-
lions in the crib. They should be rep
resentatives of the entire amount of
corn. Take one kernel from each of
the 100 ears, and make a termination
test with them. II So or more Of them
grow save the crib. II the crib is well
constructed, dry, and free from rats,
the corn may remain in the crib till
spring, or the corn may be removed
and stored elsewhere If the crib room
is needed for any other purpose. In any
event however, do not shell the corn
for it will retain vitality longer I'm the
ear. so 1t is stated on fairly good au-
thority.
Next spring before the crib of corn
is used for seed make an ear test or
the entire amount. Take at least three
kernels from each ear in making this
test, one from butt, middle, and tip.
Discard all ears for seed that thus
prove to have any dead kernels"

just failed of passage in the Senate last

that it will become law this session and
that it will hasten the settlement of

of the state.
Just before leaving for Washington
Senator Sterling predicted the election
