EDITORIAL COMMENT

Advocates Of free trade claim to
find proof for. their contention in
tie fact that wages under our pres
ent low tariff law, have reached a
high water mark. Il is true that
under present conditions protec.
tive tariff is unnecessary. as the
European war is a more effective
protection against competition of
cheap foreign labor than any tariff
act could be, but how can they JUS
tify the present condition of our
revenues? Our imports are hold
ing up to normal, but with from
go to 70 per cent of them coming
in free, we are forced to resort to
war taxes in time of peace in or

There are many conditions that must

trict clerks are in the habit of paving

term, regardless of the accuracy of her
term report and contrary to the prov-
siol,s of the school law. The discerning
teacher will not ask for final payment
until all reports are filed and acce pied
as correct i'm every detail.
In our tt ur of the county last week
we found several schools preparing ex-
celIent Arbor and Bird Day programs.
1t is very gratifying indeed to note the
number of schools which have joined
the Liberty Bell Bird Club and taken
the pledge to protect our feathered
friends. We were pleased with what
we saw and heard of the program at
James School District No. 55, of which
Miss Nell Ryan is the teacher.
Miss Olive l.. Conn, the visiting
nurse, has inspected thirty-eight
schools to date. The county superin-
tendent accompanied her on three
day tour last week when guodIy num-
ber of schools were visited and talks
given. Many of the patrons and doct-
ors have rendered valuable assistance
in providing means of travel for this
| work.
"School Education" has the follow
ing to say in regard to improvement of
our rural schools:-''If we are going to
have good country schools we must
keep the good teachers from year to
year. To dothis we have got to pro-
vide decent aud comfortable living
conditions. Country schools have been
paying too much for inexperienced
teachers and TOO little for experienced
and trained teachers.n

missions in Armenia confirm the
report that over a million Armeni.
ans have been killed by the Turks,
and the dispatch closes with the
statement that popular feeling
among the Armenians was aroused

The inference Is that if it had not

BIRDS AND THEIR TRAITS
A Plea From DIR. Thoms for the
determination ofEngllsh Sparrow

Vermillion, April 2O-"Kill the
English sparrow and do not en-.
courage the squirrel if you want
song birds about you," says DR..
Craig Thoms of the University of
South Dakota, who for many years
has been a careful student and OBJ
server of South Dakota bird life.
The sparrow DR.. Thoms declares,
eventually crowds out the other
birds. 1t multiplies rapidly and
preempts the trees and spaces of
other birds who move out and
away before the disagreeably ag.
gressive neighbor.
Birds like the Hudson Bay trap
per, like exclusive territory. They
could never become dwellers in
fats. This desire for exclusive
space privileges, DIR. Thoms states,
is q bird privilege 80 well estab-
lished in the bird world that a
strong bird will yield to a weaker
that has got in ahead and acquired
prior title to tree and adjacent
air and ground rights. But the
sparrow is no respector of laws,
traditions or persons. he crowds
into bird houses and into other
bird territory. He doesn't fight
the other birds; he simply jostlea
them and crowds them and makes
himself obnoxious and they move
out when he moves in. The spar.
row is a finch and does some little
good by eating weed seeds, sluge
and bugs. But his chief diet is ot
grain and he is not of great eco-
nomic value. Bird experts are
quite unanimous in their approval
of campaign to exterminate them
Opinion is divided as to how fa,
the squirrel bothers and preys on
birds and keeps them out of the
community. 1t is generally be.
lieved, however, that squirrels cal
birds eggs and that the more
squirrels the fewer birds there will
be. Not many squirrels have
been introduced as YET into South
Dakota and DR.. Thoms believes
that for the sake of the birds the
squirrels should not bs welcomed.

Soil Hints for South
Eastern South Dakota

-
Extract from an address before
9 farmers meeting at Tabor, south
Dakota, by j. q. Hutton, associate
Agronomist, South Dakota Expert
ment Station.
Southeastern South Dakota has
made a lot of money in farming
and southeastern South Dakota has
many opportunities for making a
lot more money in farming. The
region of heaviest rainfall is in this
section and the growing season is
comparatively long. Sunshine and
rain are absolutely necessary for
the growth of crops. These things
you have, nor can you change the
amount of either by any means
known to man.
You have soil here. All other
parts of South Dakota have soil,
too, and much of it is mighty good
soil. You successful farmers have
taken more out of your soil than
farmers in some other places have
done because you have been farm
ing for a long time and because
you have been taking out large
crops year after year.
There is one thing about crop
failure and that is the fact that the
crop in q poor year does not re.
move much from the soil. It does
not add anything Of course, but il
makes the soil last longer. You
have not been bothered very often
by having the soil saved for you in
this way, nor do you wish to be.
You want to get everything out Of
the soil that you can. That's right
but if you expect to keep on taking
out you must put something back.
I saw stalk fields, stubble fields
and straw stacks burning along the
road from Brookings to Bon HON
me county. These should all go
back ilto the soil if you are going
ato keep up the humus SUPPLY. It
is lrue that humus doesn't feed
plants, but it must be in the soil
unless you want your fields to be-
come like brickyaris. Every one
knows that new soil is better and
has more life in it than soil that
has been cropped forty years.
Plow under everything that you
can.
This county will produce clover
and sweet clover in abundance, but
| have seen little of it growing
here. These crops must be includ.
ed in yous rotations of corn and
small grain if you want 10 maintain
the nitrogen supply in the soil.
You are making money farming,
but you can make T. lot more if
you will give your se.i d fair chance
The state of South Dakota should
make sarsfI. study of the soils of
the state to discover how they may
be improved and kept from wear.
ing out. Farming has to be done
on a basis OF facts. We can't farm
on mere opinions any more. The
state must study the soil and get
thesfacts. This soil survey will
cost five cents per quarter section
of land per year for several years.
There isn't quarter section of
land in South Dakota that is not
worth the spending of q nickle
year to find out now to make it pro.
duce more.
The farmers of South Dakota
must see to it that the legislature
appropriates five cents quarter a
year to get the facts of farming on
South Dakota farms. See that
your legislators whoever they may
be, know about this next winter,
and remember this, that southeas-
tern South Dakota will profit by
this survey as much as any other
part of the state.
