WARNS NATION AGAINST
WASTE in FOOD CROPS
Secretary Houston Urges Farmers te
Strive for Greater Production.

Both for economic and patriotic rea-
sons the American farmer should strive
this year for the highest standard Of ef-
fciency in the production and conserva-
ton OF food" says Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston In a statement issued yes
terday. But production accomplished
by wasteful methods does not make for
efficiency, and careful thought, therefore,
should be given to the steps that need
to be taken.
AT this. the approach Of the growing
season, 1t Is pertinent to consider steps
which should be taken during the starting
or the growing of crops to prevent or
eliminate wastes In the case of the
great staple cereals which constitute a
large proportion Of our food supply, con-
spicuous production wastes result from
failure to give proper attention to the
selection and safeguarding of seed for
planting, the preparation of the land.
and the care Of the crop.
For instance, only varieties known to
be well adapted to the region where
planted should be selected, so that in
case of such a crop as corn, the grain
will not fail to mature properly in a nor
NAL season. The planting of seed that
will not germinate often results in great
loss of time, labor. and money which
could have been avoided by testing the
seed for germinability before planting.
"In some sections the damage to crops
by destructive diseases and insects is the
most conspicuous crop waste. Economi-
cally sound and efficient production nee
essitates protection Of crops against these
pests"

Homesteader Loses Case.

Sioux Falls.-Judge McNenney of
the circuit court for the northern dis
trict of the Black Hills, has rendered
an important decision in a test case
by Jesse M. Squires, a home
steader, against Butte county. to deter
mine whether lands under the Belle
Fourche irrigation project are subject
70 taxation prior to the issuance Of
patent (title) by the government. The
case was decided in favor of the de-
PENDANT county, Judge McNenney
holding in substance that the interest
OF the homesteader in lands of this
kind may be taxed. Squires' farm was
assessed at $1,0S5, or 50 per acre, the
farm consisting of 120 acres, of which
SIS acres are irrigable. Squires had
made final proof on the tract, but a
patent had not been issued to him
by the government when he was taxed
in 1914 and 1915. If the decision of
Judge McNepney stands Butte county
will profit to a considerable extent by
the taxation in future of such lands.

The South Dakota State Grange
held its annual meeting in Brookings
and at State college with about 100
delegates in attendance. Gov. Nor
beck and President E. c. Perisho. Of
the college, addressed t~he'grange in a
public meeting.
Gov. Norbeck emphasized what the
state has done and a do Tor the de-
velopment OF agricultural interests
and outlined what services the state
can offer the farmer in aiding him to
increase production, to secur better
prices for his products, as well as to
supply him with cheap money, cheap
fuel, cheap power from ~undeveloped
water power and cheaper cement for
his construction work-all without
putting anything on a charity basis.
THE farmer does not ask for some
thing for nothing" asserted Gov. Nor
beck, but all he asks for is a fair
chance, and this, Of course, should be
given him. Our government must be a
government of service" The governor
made practical application of the pres
ent war and it's relation to every citi-
zen and especially the producers-the

Difference in Roads.

Pierre.-The appearance Of the
man travelled highways on the prairie
these days Of automobile is quite diff
ferent from the days of a quarter of a
century ago. At that time a main
travelled road meant a bare space q
rod or more in width from which the
grass vas tramped and worked. To-
day a highway with a far greater num-
Der of people using it, is two worn
marks On the prairie with grass grow
ing as long and thick between the
tracks as on either side. The con-
trast is a striking one, especially to
anyone who drove the prairies of
South Dakota before the auto became
the chief means of travel.

more fitting for the nations birthday
We should be a nation of athletes
there is no day better than July 4 for
arousing the latent strength Of man
hood or exhibiting what is already de-
veloped. Surely the parks should ring
with the best music our bands can
produce. Men gifted with power to
sway the multitudes should this day
tell what the nation stands for and
pay tribute to those who are
Slow to smite and swift to spare,
Gentle and merciful and just!
Who, in the fear of God, do bear
The sword OF power, a nations trust.
Today we are in need of a patri-
otism as great as that of '76. The oc-
casion is different and the problem re-
quires greater wisdom In its solution.
1t is a satisfaction to remember that
the national sword has never been
lifted in conquest. The glory of the
starry flag is that she Is an emblem Of
freedom of conscience, religion and
civil liberty. Except in the cause Of
humanity she has never been In battle.
Not all that has been done under her
is worthy of praise, but it is safe to
say that few nations have a more I'M
selfish record.

May Ship in Wet Goods.

The attorney general holds that hos.
pitfalls will have the right to ship in
from outside Of the state such alcohol
ic products as they require in the
work in such institutions after the
state goes dry July /. Under the law
druggists are compelled to secure
their supplies from wholesale houses
within the state, but such houses can
sell only to retail druggists, and by a
strict construction Of the law the only
way a hospital could get a supply
would be on a physicians prescrip.
ton. II is held that a strict construc-
ton of the law in this would be a yio-
lation Of the federal statutes, and that
a liberal construction will allow hos
pitfalls, under regulations, to ship in
such alcoholic liquors as they may
require, making their purchases out
side Of the state.
