and her husband and an auto party
of five others had south of Aberdeen

head, his brother-in-law Harry King,
a fractured shoulder and a lady from
Huron who was with them a tract

About seventeen miles south OF
Aberdeen they struck some kind of
obstruction in the road and before
any one knew what had happened
the big car was overturned on top OF
the entire party.
Mrs. Brandhuber managed to crawl
out first and then Mrs. King, and
helped to get the others u one by

King was killed but at last all were
discovered to be only moderately in

Ruling on Weight Of Corn
By the Attorney General

Pierre-The Attorney General In
an opinion to the state market com
missioner on query as to the right OF
dockage IN corn on account Of mois-
lure holds that such is not allowable
under the law of the state. 1t is the
custom to take from SO TO So pounds
instead of the legal requirement OF
seventy pounds.
He holds that the law only allows
dockage for dirt, foul seed, or other
mixture" after sitting and grading,
and dockage must be on a percentage
basis.
After a general discussion OF the
law and the situation the opinion
holds that sit follows that no greater
amount than seventy pounds can be
taken for a bushel of corn on the
cob, however much moisture that
corn may contain. Such corn can of
course be graded upon the basis OF
the amount of moisture it contains so
far as the fixing of the price is on
cerned, and the price can be fixed
upon the amount of moisture in the
corn. But the buyer eau not protect
himself against this ex cessive mois-
lure by taking more than seventy
pounds of corn for a bushel, nor can
the corr be locked in any manner on
account of this excessive moisture"

Hogs can be increased quicker than any other kind of live stock.

Feed Crops Are Abundant
In addition to the fact that there is n imperative demand for

That we now have an abundance of feed crops-corn, oats, and barley

number of hogs. The demand for meat is certain, and it will be
profitable to the farmer to market some of this heavy grain supply on
