A Reliable Seed List.

The annual seed list Of the State
College agronomys department is
ready for free distribution. The
seeds listed are grown by "a South
Dakota farmers; by (2) the agrono-
my experiment plots; or by t3) the
seed companies of the state. The
relation of the Agronomy Depart
ment to this list is to some extent
that of clearing house between
South Dakota residents who have
seed to sell and South Dakota resi-
dents who expect to buy seed.
Every effort is made by the dep
artment to find and list seed which
will be reliable. Seed known to
be unreliable would not be listed.
The list is prepared in cooperation
with the South Dakota Experiment
Association, which was formed
some years ago by the membership
of the South Dakota Secondary
School of Agriculture and the
South Dakota State College Of
Agriculture. BY A. N. Hume,
Agronomist.

Pigeons Are Carriers
Of Hog Cholera

Pigeons are responsible for
about 20 per cent of the spread Of
hog cholera, as statistics show, .
writes w. J. Wilson, assistant in
serum production at State College.
He states further: The farmer
who owns or harbors pigeons should
either contine them at home or dis
pose Of them.
Pigeons flying from farm to
farm in search of food, which they
obtain in the feed yards, will fly a
great distance and carry the germs
of disease on their feet, and will
infect whole neighborhood before
people realize how the infection is
being carried to their herds.
''In 1915 the loss in the United
States due to hog cholera was esti-
mated at rs million dollars, and if
one fifth of this can be attributed
to pigeons, the question arises, are
they worth its
"Confine or kill the pigeons.

Convention At
Denver Harmonious

A general revival OF the cO-op-
erative spirit in the reclamation
service appears to have been
brought about by conference Of
project managers and others in the
service at Denver during the week
ended January 22, ut which Mr..
Davis, chief engineer and director,
presided, and Judge Will r. King
assisted with number of his dis
trict counsel present. Mr.. l. d.
O'Donnell supervisor of irrigation,
was also present. At this confer
ence general policies and methods
for carrying on work in the field
were considered with particular
reference to operating questions
and devising means Of greater eff
cheney and economy. The work
of the conference was divided be-
tween number of committees who
r ported with recommendations for
carrying on the several branches
Of the Denver Office management.
Among the various recommend
ations made there were included
the simplificatiOn of costkeeping
and bookkeeping, so far as this
may be possible under legal regula-
tions of government departments.
The restoration of local fiscal agents
to some extent was also favored
for many reasons, among others
the desirabiity of prompt payment
of laborers by means of check in
stead of assignment vouchers,
which have given considerable
trouble. The principal reason how
ever is the necessity for maintain
ing a bonded agent of the govern
ment on each reclamation project,
who can be authorized to accept
payments for water charges as
provided in the Act of august 3,
1912, giving the Secretary of the
Interior the option of collecting
these charges and keeping the
accounts of water users on the pro-
jects instead Of at the branch land
Office which may oe some distance
from the projects and therefore in
convenient of access Dy settlers.
Many complaints have been going

lin to the Denver Office already
from water users who find it in
convenient to conduct their busi-
ness by correspondence through
the mails with transmission OF
money by checks and drafts.
Recommendations were also
made for changes in Denver meth
DDS of making purchases for the
projects SO rs to eliminate the ex-
pensive delays in delivering nec-
essary supplies. Various other
matters were considered in refer
ence to organization. accounting,
purchasing, disbursing, local coll
ections, and cooperation with the
legal division for protection Of pro-
iect interests both from the gov
vernment and settlers standpoint.
Following our announcement of
two weeks ago, we have learned
that the resignation of Mr.. 5. b.
Williamson as Chief of Construc-
tion OF the reclamation service at
Denver, Colorado, has brought
about number of changes in the
management of the service. In
cidently, it seems that Mr.. Will
amson resigned to accept much
more lucrative position with the
Guggenheim interests who have
decided to carry on much of their
large construction an d mining
operations by day labor instead of
contract work. And they have
secured the service of Mr.. Will
hanson, who is recognized as an
alb | e organizer of construction
work, to direct operations of this
sort in all parts of the world from
his headquarters n New York
City. The first great construction
JOB undertaken under Mr.. William
son 5 management is understood to
be in Chill in connection with large
copper mines. Mr.. Willia1nson's
chief clerk in the Denver office.
Mr.. Kellar, resigned February lst
to go wioh Mr.. Williamson, who
left for his new duties on January
l7th.
On theswhoIe, the discussion BY
representatives of the Service from
all districts brought about an
excellent understanding Of present
conditions, and will undoubtedly
be followed by revival of the
enthusiasm and team work. OF
reclamation officials, which has
been much needed for some months
past. Apparently this harmonic
ing of purposes will go far toward
the success of Secretary Lanes
main policy of assisting the settlers
on reclamation projects in every
possible way compatible with stat.
utory provisions.
1t is understood that no changes
are contemplated in the status of |
the Reclamation Commission ut
Washington or in the general man
of the reclamation service
rs whole.

calls for a fiat assessment for each year
of Is cents on the 500 for schools
and an additional 2 cents to make up
for any defecit growing out of the fail
ure of the 15-cent rate to produce the
$l,75O,OOO appropriated for school
purposes.
The remaining 10 5-l2 cents for 1917
and the remaining 1917 cents for 1918
will be levied to provide for interest
and sinking fund charges on the
States bonded ind ,btedness and to
redeem the first installments OF the
serial bonds which come due during
the next two years.
The levy for interest and sinking
fund charges contemplates additional
bond issues totaling $5,OOO,O 600.
One of the issues is known as the
roads and armories bonds and amouts
to $3,OOO,OOO. The other is the $2,-
600, 900 dcfecit issue.
The former issue was agreed upon
at conference held in the Governors
office few nights ago. OF the S3,-
900, 900, 50, 100000 will be used for
roads and bridges and out of the re-
mainder three armories are to he
built at an estimated total cost OF
100000. Then 5000 is to 60
to the Maryland Agricultural College
for the main building and the re-
naming $25, 600 is to be used for a
dormitory at the Frostburg Normal
School.
The 50, ZOO 900 issue is to take care
of the deficit occasioned by the extra
vagance Of the Legislature OF 1911,
the appropriations Of which have ex-
ceeded the revenues by something
like 81 100000. The extra $780,
600 will take care of any further d.
felt that may occur before the end OF
the present fiscal year.
Two years ago the Legislature lev
led fiat tax of | cent on the 500
for the maintenance of the State roads
system. Motor Vehicle Commission
er's office have increased 50 much
that this year it was not felt necessary
to make any road maintenance levy
at all.

ches of the general Assembly that
is expected to materially inrease the

flour. The wearing qualities are
about the same.
Two methods of producing wood
-four are practiced; one using mill
stones, the other steel burr rollers to
pulverize the wood. The latter re-
quires only one-fourth as much power
to operate as the former and was de-
veloped on the Pacific Coast to han
die sawdust as raw material. The
mills of Norway which produce. much
of the European wood -four are of
the stone type.
Wood -four mills are scattered over
the country from Maine to California
wherever the proper combination OF
wood and water power is available,
and the domestic wood -four competes
with the Norwegian product which,
before the European war, was deliv-
cred at Atlantic ports for $3.50 to
Sl5 per ton.

Much Wood Flour Used.
Now In Demand By Dynamite
And LinOIeum Manufacturers.

Washington, April 3.-More than
twenty thousand ton Of wood -four
valued at $500, 900. are used annua-
lily in the United Stats in two widely
different industries the manufacture
of dynamite and the manufacture of
inlaid linoleum.
Wood -four is also used in max
ing composition flooring oatmeal
paper, and in several other industries.
1t forms one OF the means by which
the huge waste product of our lum-
Der mills is beginning to find some
better means of disposal than the
burner. Since a total OF 5000, 900
cords of such waste is produced each
year at sawmills in the: e:United States,
of which about e-half goes into the
furnaces as fuel while the rest il bur-
ned as refuse to get rid of it, there is
no lack of raw material for industrie s
which can develop ways of turning
this waste to account.
All wood -four using industries re-
quire white or very light cream col
ored flour having good absorptive
powers. The wood species that may
be used are confined to the light, non
resinous conifers, and the white broad
leaved woods like poplar, spruc,
white pine and the poplar are the
species most used. Mill waste, free
tree from bark, furnishes much of
the raw material for making wood
-four.
For use in dynamite, the trade de-
mands are said to require white
wood -four, since the freshness of
dynamite stock is indicated by alight
color. Dynamite flour must also be
very absorptive, SO there will be no
leakage Of nitroglycerine from the fin
ishe produce. Wheat flour millr efuse
and infusorial earth have also been
used in dynamite making, but wood
flour has practically replaced them
in this country.
In the manufacture of linoleum,
either wood or cork flour is used.
The flour is mixed with a cementing
material, spread out on burlap and
rolled or pressed to a uniform thick
ness. The cement is the expensive
constituent. Cork linoleum is the
cheaper because less cement is necess-
ary. The patterns are printed on,
leaving a dark base. For inl aid or
straightline linoleum, wood flour is
used exclusively. Cork linoleum is
always dark, and slightly more elias
tic than that produced from wood

WE THANK YOU,

SS~SsSs
WE THANK YOU,
Mr.. LeGore for the very persistent
way in which you have for all these
years since 1904 tried and finally sue
ceeded in unloading your Bridge and
Roads on the taxpayers OF Frederick
county; you have disregarded every
thing except one thing and that was
that at all hazards and cost what 1t
may the taxpayers had to buy and
this too without any vote or say.
WE THANK YOU,
Mr.. Wm. Mines Maloy for the
very important part that you have
played in helping to unload this Le-
Gore proposition on our taxpayers
without even giving them any choice
in the matter as to whether they
wanted it or not; in your efforts to
force it through the Legislature and
trying to repeat the futile attempt OF
the session of 1914; the adroit way
in which you had the County Com
missioners to give you hearing but
failed to let the people have their
day in Court; and thus you have
endeared yourself to a host of people
in Frederick county who will remem-
Der you very pleasantly (?) on any
future occasion when you may be
seeking their suffrage.
WE THANK YOU,
Other high salaried attorneys OF
Mr.. I.eGore who have worked every
known scheme to your profession to
help unload this Bridge on the tax
payers and finally succeeded in max
ing successful coup" that won the
day for Mr.. LeGore and made Fred
erick county taxpayers poorer by
$50, 900, and yourselves much richer
with big fees and gave them a gold
brick" bridge in return.
WE THANK YOU,
Newspapers of Frederick county
who have stood silently by and failed
to raise your voice in behalf of the
taxpayers but have been content to
heave sigh of relief by saying that
it was now, once and for all settled
and for which you seem to be deeply
thankful to both the Legislature and
to Mr.. LeGore; that you have failed
utterly in coming to the rescue of the
people; that the sentiment created by
"artful advertising" by Mr.. LeGore
20 obscured your vision that it was
tantamount to blindness.
WE THANK YOU,
Expert advisers and paid sentiment
manufacturers whose duty it was to
spot" the men who could be de-
pended upon to say good word or
call some one off from agitating the
matters 80 that the people would be
lulled into a sort of comatose condi-
ton while the balance OF the experts
were getting the sand bags ready for
the final "killing.''
WE THANK YOU,
Senator and members of the House
from Frederick county in being blind
to the interests of the taxpayers of
Frederick county and failing to see
the wisdom or justice to all concern
ed by having the whole matter re-
ferred back to the people of Frederick
county for final decision; that you
had such little confidence in your
constituents in feeling that they were
incompetent to decide this matter for
themselves.
We thank everybody who may have
had anything to do with helping to
unload this Bridge and roads on the
taxpayers.
