Dairy4nen Organize.

Dairying is easily among the leading
industries of Montgomery county. 1t is
doubtful If its Importance is yet fully real
lied even by the dairymen themselves
Some. however. not only appreciate the
present Importance of the industry. but
have clear vision of what its future may
be If given the proper direction.
For several years some Of the most pro-
gressive and successful dairy sections Of
the country have found their greatest help
in the work Of the cow-testing associations.
Last week Mr.. j. B. Diamond. Jr.. assisted
by Mr.. G. E. Wolcott. Dairy Extension
Specialist from the Agricultural College.
and County Agent F. J. Van Hoesen. can
vassed the territory around Gaithersbure
and Germantown and signed up 465 cows
for years work in a testing association.
There are already five active associations
in the State. In the four years that Mr..
Wolcott has been in this work he has never
signed up so many cows in so short time.
That all the cows that an association can
handle could be secured in only a day and
half speaks well for the proeressiveness
of Montgomery county dairymen. So many
dairymen who want this work done in their
herds have been crowded out of this first
association that canvass will be made
early in June for another association in
the county.
The general plan Of work is this After
the association is organized. 1t hires. on
the recommendation Of the Agricultural
College. a competent man to travel from
one farm to another testing each COW in
each herd for production once month for
a year. 1t has been found by this method
records can be secured for each COW that
will average within 2 per cent accuracy.
which is accurate enough for all practical
purposes. This plan accomplishes the de-
sired results at very low cost. only $3.50
per COW for the year.
Knowing what each COW Is really doing.
not only in pounds Of production. but in
per cent. Of butter fat. and also knowing
what each COW is charging in feed cost for
her products. the dairyman is at an advan-
taee in deciding which cows should be sold
and which used to build up his herd.
Many dairymen start out to do this work
for themselves. but few continue it for lack
Of time to give it proper attention. The
association plan provides the necessary
competent help so that the dairyman can
get the desired results without personally
performing the necessary labor.
Amy dalryman in the county interested
in this line Of work. and who would like
to consider getting into the next associa-
ton. should communicate at once with the
undersigned.

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

OyERTURNS.

Mitchell, Nov. 22.-The stretch of
road south of Mitchell OIL the way to
Ethan added another victim to its
long list of fatalities and accidents
Saturday night. a new Buick six,
belonging to and driven by Walter
Stage, turned over i'm a ditch, pinning
him under the steering wheel, and
breaking his back and crushed his
chest. He died in fifteen minutes,
before medical aid could arrive.
When the doctor came. he pro-
nounced the death accidental. so no
inquest was necessary.
Four other occupants in the car es-
capped with scarcely any injuries.
Jack O'Donnell was cut and bruised
about the face, but John Condran,
John Schneider and Arthur Nagel
were almost unhurt. being miracu-
lousy thrown clear of the car as ii
tipped over in the grade. According
to reports, the a was going at some
thirty or thirty-five miles an hour.
The accident occurred in front OF
the l.. ID. Test home about $50 Sat
urday night. Mr.. Test heard the
crash and Immediately gave aid to the
other men in lifting the a off OF
Mr.. Stage. He was dead when the
doctor came, so an ambulance was
summoned and the body taken to a
local undertaking parlor.

SURVEYING FOR ditch
HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF LAND
TO BE RECLAIMED by M
PROVEMENT.

A survey, preliminary to running
a drainage ditch about six miles in
length, which is to drain about 700
acres of land, I'm the southwestern
part of Herman township and the
northwestern part of Orland town
ship is being made by c. A. Trimmer.
The ditch will drain what are known
as the Reynolds and Dan McGillivray
sloughs in Herman township and the
Ross slough in Orland township.
Application TO run the ditch was
made TO the county commissioners
last summer. and permission was
given. The cost of the work will be
divided among the of prop
erty that will be benefited. The spec
ifications must be submitted for the
approval of the state engineer. Ii is
probable that the ditch, which will
empty into a run" leading to Lake
Herman, will be dug next spring.

Water POWER
DOANE ROBINSON DISCUSSES
CONSERVATION NEEDS.

Pierre, Nov. 22.-In an interview
Doane Robinson declared his belief
that the time has come when South
Dakota should prepare to conserve
and develop its water powers in the
interest of the people.
ITO do so would require another
constitutional amendment" said Mr..
Robinson, land | hope the coming
session will submit to the people such
a provision. Our great American for
ests are practically gone, u coal
measures are In the hands of corpo~
rations who force such prices as they
desire regardless of inherent values,
and the one remaining to
the people is the water power, and it
would be criminal to let this last re-
source escape from us. Germany and
Switzerland, wiser than we, have
taken over their water powers and
the public is enjoying great advan-
tage from them. There is nothing in
the proposition involving exceptional
risk. The state should own, develop
and operate the water powers upon
our streams and supply current TO
the people at a price which will pay
operating expenses, upkeep and inter
est and within a reasonable term of
years amort bonds. My plan would
be by an amendment to the constitu-
ton to permit the state to W and
operate water powers, and to mort
gage the plants for the funds to pur-
chase and develop, the state guaran-
teeing the payment OF the interest
only.
"At one point on the Missouri a
tunnel proposition costing about a
million dollars. will develop $4,000
horsepower. | would have the state
start upon this and develop others as
the demand arises. 1t would prob
ably be a full century before the COM
plete development Of all our tremen-
dous water powers would be required
but from this time our people can
have at cost all of the current they
may need If we wisely take advantage
Of the resources with which proyi-
dence has endowed u.s."

PROTECT THE BIRDS
DIR. CRAIG =. THOMS SAYS THEY
ARE THE BEST FRIENDS
THE FARMER HAS.

Vermillion, Nov. 22.-The birds OF
South Dakota are among the best
friends the farmer has, for they live
on insects which damage crops. DR..
Craig s. Thoms, in an address at the
University of South Dakota, showed
photographs of almost all birds OF
South Dakota, and especially urged
the protection of bluebirds, robins,
wrens, w~oodpeckers, starlings and
goldfinches. Birds are not found In
the woods as much as in cities and
other places Of human h%abitation,'
DR.. Thoms said. because ii is in the
woods that the natural enemies of the
birds hide and lay in wait for them
but these enemies seldom are found
around places of human settlement
