average of about 10 per cent gasoline,
So per cent kerosene, and a large
amount of parafin.. The yield Of
gasoline from the shale may probably
be largely increased by the use of re-
fining methods especially designed
for that purpose. The gas, which is a
very good Illuminating gas, will per-
haps be sufficient to furnish all the heat
required to distill the crude oil from
the shale.
The ammonia is most valuable by
product of the distillation and may be
utilized in the manufacture of COM
mercial fertilizer or other nitrogen
compounds, as the market demands.
The United States Geological Survey
has examined large areas of the shale
in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming and
has made distillation tests. Some beds
Of shale that are several feet thi ok
will yield more than barrel of oil to
the ton of shale, and one bed 6 inches
thick will yield more than two barrels
of crude oil to the ton of shale. One
ton of this shale should therefore yield
nearly ten gallons of gasoline by the
present commercial methods OF gaso
line extraction, and larger yields may
be made possible by new methods.
Little attention has been paid to this
shale because the quantity of petPo-
leum produced from wells in the
United States has been sufficient to
satisfy all demands, but for more than
30 years the oil shale industry of
Scotland has been a very important
one. In recent year #ore than 5000
men were employed in the industry in
in that country, yet the average yield
of oil per ton of shale was much less
than that which appears possible from
the shale of Colorado and Utah. 1t is
estimated that in Colorado alone there
is sufficient shale, in beds 8 feet or
more thick and richer than the shale
being mined in Scotland, to yield
twenty billion barrels Of crude oil,
from which at least two billion Barrels
of gasoline may be extracted by or
dinary refining processes.
AS was stated in the recent reply OF
Secretary Lane to Senate resolution
on the subject Of gasoline: "The
development of this enormous reserve
simply awaits the time when the price
of gasoline or the demand for other
distillation products warrants the
utilization of this substitute source.
This may happen in the future. At all
events these shales are likely to be
drawn upon long before the exhaus-
ton Of the petroleum fields.p

Fruit Tree Quacks.


Some so-called nursery salesmen
operating in Missouri are making
promises that seem too good to be
true. The Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station wishes to warn
farmers and fruit growers to be very
careful about investing in stock of an
unknown variety of supposed special
merit and against signing contracts to
buy and grow fruit trees, vines. or
other nursery stock on the strength
of promises that it can be sold later
at very high prices.
Buyers should require the nnrsery
sales men to show the special permits
which the law requires them to secure
from the Chief Inspector of Nurseries
and Orchards. Statesmen who cannot
show such permits should be reported
at once to the Experiment Station at
Columbia for investigation, but the
honesty Of those who do have such
permits cannot be guaranteed by the
Experiment Station, altho there is a
strong presumption that the men who
compiled with the law by taking out
permits will be much more likely to
be honest and straightforward than
the man who is selling in violation Of
the law.
The exhibition OF such permit
shows that the agent is registered for
the sale and distribution of stock
which has been inspected and found
free from dangerous insects and
diseases. There are plenty of re-
sponsible agents in the state repre-
senting responsible nurseries and
orders can be placed by mail with
nurserymen who will look after the
interests Of their customers honestly.
So with little care the buyer can get
exactly what he wishes without deaf
ing with questionable parties. He
sh0nld order standard varieties which
I've knows are doing we'll in his locality
and refuse the fancy varieties on
whiah fabulous profits are promised

series and Orchards, Columbia, Mis-

Migratory Bird Law Continues
in Force.

WARRINGTON, b. G.. March is. "A
misleading statement has recently be-
come current in newspapers of the
Mississippi Valley and elsewhere, to
the effect that the Department OF
Agriculture has suspended the en-
forcement Of the Federal regulations
under the Migratory Bird haw and by
this means has enabled sportsmep,
under State laws, to shoot wild fowl
the coming spring.
Under the Federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all
migratory wild fowl is closed until
next autumn throughout the United
States. Federal inspectors and ward.
ems are required, and others interest
ed in the protection of Wild fowl are
requested, to report to the Depart
ment OF Agriculture all cases of viola
tions Of the regulations, in order that
proper, action may be taken.
The Department of Agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to
pardon violations of the regulations.
Boubtless the erroneous impression,
on which the newspaper stateaments
are based has grown out Of the pend
ency of litigation involving the oon-
stitutionality of the Act of Congress
approved March 4, 1913, under which
the regulations were promulgated
The lower Federal courts disagreed as
to the validity Of the statute and the
issue was carried to the Supreme
geurt OF the United States. The case
was argued in the Supreme Court iu
October, 1915, but has not been de-
cided. Following the lower court
decisions, Congress appropriated
money for the purpose OF continuing
the enforcement of the law. The De-
partment Of Agriculture is bound to
TeppFt to tho Department of Justice
violations OF the regulations II the
Supreme Court should declare the law
constitutional. All persons should,
therefore, be warned of the danger
they incur from failure to abide by the
regulations

Spraying pays only when one knows
what a plant is being sprayed for and

CITY BEAUTIFUL
SOFT SNOW TRANSFORMS MADI-
son INTO A tERITABLE
SANTA CLAUS PALACE.

Madison awoke this morning to
find that the city during the night
had displaced its dreary, late winter
garb for a dress that would have eX-
cited the envy of the designer of Jack
Frost's bower.
A drizzling rain, which, driven by
a northwest wind, came along accord
ing to the schedule of the weather
man, started to fall shortly before 6
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. A cou-
pie of hours later, the rain changed
to soft snow, which adhered tightly
to all objects with which 1t came in
contact.
Early in the morning, trees and
bushes were loaded with a maze of
fantastic frostwork. Telephone and
electric light wires were streaks of
white, and street signs appeared 10
be mere patches of o Just about
everybody who owned a Gamer took
views of the unusual scene, before
the suns rays started to erase the
picture, at about 8 o'clock.
1t is reported that the combined
rain and snow have added consider
ably to the disagreeable condition of
country roads.

The collapse of a concrete spillway
a half mile from the waterworks,
whence flood waters from the plateau
are poured down a steep hillside into
the valley, threatens to expose gravel
beds tapped by the waterworks wells,
permitting the water to run off into
the valley. Tons of clay and sand
from the hill are already washed into
the river below.
Unless the flow can be checked the
course of the Big Sioux river will be
altered, it is feared. From the pla-
teau north the river makes a loop of
twenty miles. encircling the city, and
coursing through the valley to a point
below the plateau within three miles
of its upper channel.
Officials fear tonight that what is
left of the concrete spillway will go.
The waters then will split the hills,
follow the resulting short cut and dry
up twenty miles OF the river.
The electric light and power plant
at the falls in the valley depends for
its motive force upon the river.

HARTFORD SALOON
AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF BUSI.
NESS MUNICIPAL SALOON
SHOWS REMARKABLE
PROFITS.

Hartford, March 22.-The munich
pal saloon at Hartford after eight
months of business is able to make
the following report: j. r. Wilder,
president of the Hartford civic inn
proyement association, which associa-
ton has the general control of the sa-
loon, states that the saloon at Hart
ford has been managed more as a
business house than a center for
DRINKS, the drunkenness on the
streets has greatly decreased, and the
selling of liquor to minors and habit.
ual drunkards has entirely ceased.
The city is now receiving the benefits
instead of an individual. During the
eight months that the municipal s
loon has been running it has accumu-
lated and paid into the treasury ST.
100 for license, $4,000 which was
clear profit. and has been used in
taking up outstanding city warrants,
and it has also deposited $4,000 on
time certificates in the Hartford
banks as a reserve fund, which
amount is drawing interest for the
city. Further than that the saloon
now has a stock on hand valued at
about $1,000. This is a remarkable
showing for the short time that the
Hartford municipal saloon has been
in operation, but it shows the great
it Is a necessary business the city
might as well have the profit as to
give it to some individual.

ROADS APPROPRIATION
PROBABLE THAT SOUTH DAKOTA
WILL GET 1897 ,iO6 FROM
UNCLE SAM.

Lake county good roads boosters
are in hopes that South Dakota next
year will be in a position to take ad-
vantage of the federal aid that will
probably be given states in improving
rural roads.
The house of representatives has
passed by a large majority a bill car
rying an appropriation of SIS, 1000, 900
with which to assist states in building
up roads used in the postal service
of the government. Provision is
made for the improving of any pub
lie highway over which mail is, or
might be, carried. outside Of incor-
p%orated towns or cities. Each state
would receive $4,000 outright. One
half of the remainder would be APP
portioned to states according TO their
population, and one-half in proper
ton to the number of miles of rural
mail roads. Under the plan, South
Dakota's share would be $337,406,
according to the governments fig
ures.
With a view to taking advantage
of the proposed appropriation, the
state legislature at it's special session
last month submitted an amendment,
which if made law at the fall cleo
ton, will provide for the legislature
appropriating money for improving
state roads. on a two-thirds vote of
the legislature. At present the legis-
lature cannot vote money for internal
improvements. The recent amend
ment, as first drawn up, would have
empowered the legislature to appro-
pirate money for roads on a straight
majority vote. State Senator Hans
Urdahl introduced an amendment re-
curing a two-thirds vote, which
passed the house and senate. Mr..
Urdahl said he believed the two
thirds vote would be a desirable
safety valve" on the state treasury.
