This will eliminate the seven cent
court house bond levy.
Last year a $4,000 appropriation was
granted for registration and $4,000
more was appropriate for taking up a
short time loan Although these ap-
preparations were not duplicated ap-
preparations for bridges amounting to
$15,S00 are asked. The difference be-
tween these two sums represents for
the most part the reduction OF the
proposed appropriations for this year
under those of last.
Jones Takes No Action.
Road Superintendent Jones has not
advised the levy he will ask for free
turnpikes.
A one cent levy was provided for In
the appropriations of last year. as
has been the custom for several
years back, to raise money for the
South G street bridge. This fund now
amounts to s1OS,0O0. In case the con-
tract is let for this bridge, this levy
will probably be made a part OF the
bridge bond levy.
Estimate Of Expenses.
In case the county tuberculosis hos

probably be reduced materially.

penses of assessing in the various
townships varies from s4,100 in Wayne
to SITS in Webster.
These estimates taken with the gen
eral appropriations agreed on last
Saturday by commissioners make up
the total amount of appropriations
which will be asked for from the

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
FAIR WORTH WHILE
Valuable From Standpoint Of EE
hIbltOr OF Visitor.

The South Dakota State Fair is GER
tainly worth while both from the
standpoint OF the exhibitor and also
from that OF the visitor, according to
statements made by certain State col
lege men. who are connected with the
producing end OF agriculture.
G. Larsen, professor of dairy hus-
bandry. says; Il know Of no other
place where the various products are
placed on exhibition side bYyAside. and
where the people in the state have
such splendid opportunities for com
pairing, not only, one rop with anoth-
er and one animal with another, but
where several specimens from the
same crop are shown from the differ
ent parts OF the state and where also
the Importance OF individual selection
within one breed Of stock can be- seen.
The state and agricultural fairs are
about the only places where the deal
ers and customers, get together In per-
son. This is being realized more and
more by the. people and accounts, in
part for the increased attendance at
the state fair and the increase In the
number Of exhibits"
James w. Wilson, head OF the anil
NAL husbandry department, is a strong
booster fol-, the state fair, as annually.
evidenced by the splendid exhibit Of
State college live. stock which he sends
to the big exposition. He says: Al
to the value of the farmer exhibiting
at the fair: If. it is no value to the.
farmer, it Is surely Of no value to any
one else; because the state fair is
supposed to be the farmers show"
A. N. Hume, head Of 1.-the agronomy
department and substations, believes
that the South Dakota State Fair Is a
great educator. 1T is where people go
to see things In the line OF agricultur-
al products" he says, "andsin many
instances exhibits there are better
than they ever saw before. They are
better people for having been at the
state fair. This is especially true of
farm people who need a good chance
to break up their own isolation and
who need just as much as any people
to merge their Individual thought on
a community and statewide basis, and
further ON a national basis. This con-
tinuity of rural-consciousness must
come about through ed~ncatiopal
means, OF which the fair is an Illus
tration. It cannot come about Through
state and federal bureadcracies.
Every effort should be made to en-
phasize the educational features Of the
fair. Our South Dakota State Fair
has attained a high standard in this
respect"
