END OF LUSITANIA
CASE IS IN SIGHT
Lansing and Bernstorff Expect
to Reach Agreement With
in Week.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Count Vol
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
and Secretary Lansing had another
conference in the Lusitania negotia-
tons today which both agreed had
been described as confidential. The
ambassador asks to have only one more
conference with the secretary and that
inside Of q week. This fact is TAX en-
to mean that only the one more ex-
change between Washington and Ber-
lin is necessary before the long con-
troversy is ended.
American officials reflected the view
that a satisfactory settlement Is in
sight which will include indemnities for
the lis American lives lost and salts
factory expression of regret or disap-
prevail.
1t is known that the principal point
which has been delaying settlement is
the phraseology. Germany has con-
tended that the best disavowal she
could offer was her orders TO submar-
inc commanders not to repeat such an
incident and that she could not disavow
the action although she regretted the
loss or so many Americans. The Uni
ted States has been contending that
the diSavowal should be expressed in
some way.

HUME URGES FARMERS TO
START SEED CORN TESTS

Bookings. s. D., Jan. S.-Farmers
will do well to make a composite test
Of seed corn within the next few
weeks, according to Dr.. 4. N. Hume,
Agronomist at State college. He sug-
gests making this kind of test to ell
inmate worthless corn before making
/ single ear test later on. He says:
Previous to making a single ear test,
I would suggest that corn intended for
seed might we'll first be given a COM
posite test at any very early date. The
simple rag doll tester can be used for
this, but the kernels to be tested would
simply be taken at random to represent
all portions Of the lot of corn under ex
animation. Use 100 kernels. A COM
posite test ought to show a termination
Of at least rs or 80 per cent at the start
Obviously II is not worth while pro-
ceeding to make single ear test Of any
lot of corn that consists largely OF dead
ears. Moreover, IL the preliminary
composite test shows a very high ger
mination, say SO or more, the single
ear test Is not even necessary and time
may be saved

BREAKING OF BUGGY SEAT
SAVES FATHER AND SON

Memo, S. D.. Jan. 19.-The fact that
a buggy seat broke from its fasten-
ings saved the lives Of Fred d. Mettler
and his little son. living on a farm
some miles from Memo. when the
buggy in which they were coming to
Menno from the farm was struck by a
passenger train in the outskirts of
Menno. They had their buggy top up
and curtain on, which, with their big
collars, made 1t impossible for them
to see or hear the approaching train.
Mettler remembers hearing the train
whistle, but 1t seemed far off. They
were squarely on the crossing when
the train struck them. One horse was
killed instantly and the other injured
so seriously that it died later. When
the train struck the buggy, the buggy
seat was broken off by the force OF
the collision and with Mettler and
his son in 1t rolled down the grade be-
side the track. They escaped with
scarcely q bruise.

REDFIELD IN THRoEs OF Wy. -
RED-HOT POSTOFFICE FIGHT

Redfield. s. D., Jan. 10.-This city is
the scene OF one of the hottest post
master fights staged in this part Of
South Dakota for many months. There
are four of five active candidates for
the position of postmaster to succeed
John Fargo. whose term as postmas-
ter expires next month. All but one
claim to have the support OF Senator
Johnson. Three of the candidates have
recently made trips to the national
capital. in hope that a personal visit
to the powers that be in Washington
will aid their candidacy. Senator
Johnson has refused to endorse any
Of the candidates and recommends
that a postmaster election be held to
make a choice between the candidates.
He agrees to endorse the man who Sc
cures the largest number of votes at
such an election. However, II is by
no means certain that an election will
be held, as the local democrats do not
want such an election, fearing that a
red-hot scrap would result and stir up
much hard feeling.

DAKOTA FARMS HAVE
ENOUGH POTASH FOR
ABOUT $500 YEARS
Fertilizer Shortage Not Cause
of Worry There-Legumes
to Supply Nitrogen.

Bookings. s. D., Jan. 12.-"South
Dakota farmers will not feel the short
age OF potassium in the least" said
J. G. Hutton, associate agronomlst Of
fertilizer report of Secretary Of Asr1-
culture Houston. Concerning the fer
tiliZer and soil fertility situation In
South Dakota, Professor Hutton said:
Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
has recently issued a timely warning
materials. The fact that potash
(potassium) can not be purchased in
America will undoubtedly be a serious
drawback to many farmers and truck
growers in the United States. How
ever, South Dakota farmers will not
feel the shortage Of potassium in the
least.
Among the great resources of the
state the greatest by far is the supply
of plant food In the soil. Plant food
is the stuff from which crops are made.
There Is potassium enough in the soils
OF South Dakota to last for centuries.
The average soil of South Dakota con-
tains from $4,000 to 10000 pounds OF
potassium in the surface layer about
seven inches deep over an acre, and the
subsoil usually contains a slightly
higher percentage of this element. It
requires II pounds Of potassium to grow
100 bushels of corn-19 pounds in the
grain and 81 pounds in the stalks. II
the stalks are returned to the soil a
50-bushei yield of corn will remove
less than 10 pounds OF potassium per
acre per year. Twenty-Five thousand
pounds Of potassium would then last
for $500 years. II Is also Of interest
to know that as an average Of five
years results at the experiment field
at Brookings, s. D., the application Of
1888 worth of potassium per year
gave an increase Of crop valued at 10
cents per acre, a net loss Of $3.58. The
potash famine will not affect South
Dakota farmers.
Nitrogen is another important ele-
element varies from less than 1000
pounds to about 5000 pounds in the
surface soil per acre and there Is much
less in the subsurbace soil and little
In the subsoil. IL requires 14S pounds
Of this element to grow 100 bushels Of
corn and 100 pounds Is in the grain.
Soil analyses show that nearly l per
cent of the nitrogen per year may
disappear from soils in South Dakota.
THE nitrogen problem is a big prob
lem for South Dakota farmers, but here
again we are fortunate in not having
to buy 1t as long as we can raise
clover, alfalfa, or sweet clover. These
crops can take the nitrogen from the
air, which contains about 10000 900
pounds Of nitrogen over every acre.
There Is no need OF any one in South
Dakota paying freight on nitrogen from
South America or dealers profits for
handling it when he can have a nitro
gen factory on his farm by simply
growing clover, sweet clover or alfalfa"

OFFICIAL ESTIMATE IS THAT
PRIMARY WOULD COST $51, $50

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 8.--A special pri-
mary election would cost about 10000,
according to the estimate Of officials
here. Revised figures show there are
1,726 election precincts in the state.
Each one has three judges and two
clerks receiving So per day for ser
cinct. In addition compilations show
that in past elections the other ex-
penses Of ballot boxes, notices, ballots,
etc, have amounted to about that
much more. so that IL each election pre-
cinct costs $50, the total cost would be
$6l. $50 for q primary election.

NAMING OFFICIAL PAPERS
CAUSES TANGLE m HARDING

Buffalo. S. D., Jan. IA peculiar
situation has developed in Harding
county. as to the designation OF the
three official papers for the coming
year. The Range Gazette of Camp
Crook, the Harding County Herald OF
Ludlow. the Harding County Era of
Buffalo, and the Buffalo Times were
aspirants for the appointments. The
first two had no opposition. but after
a rather lengthy discussion as to the
latter two, the Era was designated.
But there were only four members of
the board present two voting for the
Era, and one voting against it, while
the chairman, thinking he had no vote,
did not cast 1t. However, a reconsid-
Grafton was later obtained, and the
vote was a tie, thus going over to the
April meeting, when all the members
will be present. Thus. for the next
three months Harding county has only
two official papers.
