PRACTICAL WORK FOR COLLEGE
GRADUATE

Arthur Lynch of Bookings, who
was graduated from the South Dakota
State college in 1915, has accepted the
position as head herdsman and super
intendent of dairy production at the
State school at Red6eld. He takes up
his duties this month under the gen.
eral direction of DR.. K~utnewsky, super
intcndent of the school, who is an ex-
pert with dairy cow and who has for
many years been iaboring with the
view of getting the best herd Of dairy
cows in the West. The institution
under his care has already one Of the
largest and best producing herds Of
purebred Holstein cattle in the state.
Mr.. Lynch will have general super
vision of the dairy herd as well as
the manufacturing end of the business.
His special training in the dairy hus-
bandry department at State college
under Professor Larsen and his actual
agricultural experience as a farm boy
make him we'll qualified to assume the
new position of responsibility.

HOLSTEIN SIRE COMES FROM
GREAT FAMILY

The sire at the head of the State
college Holstein herd, Sir Korndyke
Bess Piebe, comes from a family of
heavy milk and butter producing an
cestors. Professor Larsen has just re-
ceived Word that Sir Korndyke's dam
mas produced over 35 pounds of butter
in a week. She has a yearly record OF
, .000 pounds of milk and 954 pounds
of butter. after her second calf.
The two ~grandmothers of this sire
were also very large producing cows.
His maternal grandmother has better
than a 30-pound official record and
produced nearly 500 pounds of butter
in a year. The paternal grandmother
was worlds champion as a three-year-
old with a record of 759 pounds of
milk and SO pounds of butter in the
~seven-day official test.
Therefore, from the standpoint of
combined milk and butter production,
Sir Korndyke Bess Piebe has the an
cestry which should make him a great
bull. Such blood introduced into the
Holstein herds of South Dakota should
help materially in increasing the pro
duction of state dairy COWS.

SHOOT DENIES
CLAIMS Of OPPONENTS
Says Taking Over Distilled Liquor in
Bond Would Not Cost q. S.
More Than 1882, 100000.

Flat denial that the enactment into

food control bill. providing for the gov
ernments taking over all tho distilled
liquor in bond and paying the owners
for 1t. will cost the government any
where from $500, 900. 900 to II 900 900. 0Oo.
as claimed by opponents of the plan.
Is made by Senator Smoot and other
senators
Estimating that there arc about 2oo.-
100000 gallons OF distilled spirits in
bond at present. Senator smoot
figured that the cost to the gov
eminent, including the money paid
for the liquor and tho taxes which
would have been collected, would
not exceed S2s2. 600. 600. and probably
in the end the cost would be consid-
erably lower.
About one-half Of the liquor in
bond VIII DO withdrawn, l have no
doubt. by the time the law goes into
effect. said Senator Smoot. This
leaves 10000, 900 gallons in bond. From
the Treasury Department I have re-
ceived an estimate OF 81 cents a gallon
as the price which the government will
have to pay to obtain this liquor.
That means $4,000. 900 The amount
OF revenue in taxes. including the old
taxes and those proposed under the war
revenue bill. will be $2.20 gallon.
That means $780, 900 lost to the gov
eminent in taxes and a total cost to the
government Of approximately s2s2,-
100000.

Whisky Problem in Food Bill
Promises to Become Knotty;
C0nstitutionaIity Questioned

The question of the constitutionalitv
of the Senate proposals regarding
whisky has begun to agitate members
of the House. and it would not be sur
prising if that question becomes a
knotty one before the anti-whisky
crusade Is finished at the Capitol.
Members Of the House from largo
whisky producing counties and states
have begun to hear from home on the
legal end of the proposition; in most

acted it will leave millions of dollars
of war claims pending for years to
come.

should pass law directing the Presi-
dent to take certain lands from any
man and pay him the cost of that land
consider that constitutional Who
would represent the land owner 10
see he got a square deal? This Senate
proposition to take whisky at cost plus
10 per cent is just as unconstitutional
In the first place, the cost of producing
whisky changes all the time. There is
also question as to what goes into
the cost of a gallon of whisky; whether
the cost represents the cost of distil-
ling before it is put In a barrel that
costs in itself 81: whether IT represents
the cost of storage. or not. and a lot of
other things beside. In the Senate de-
bates the cost of gallon of whisky
was set by some one as 81 cents, but
I'll wager il costs twice 81 cents to
produce q gallon"
1t is argued also that, while the Pres
ident is directed to take the whisky
and to pay cost plus 10 per cent, there
is no appropriation made for the pur-
pose which will make 1t necessary for
whisky owners to present their claims
to Congress.

Germany's Difficulties
Regarded Here as of
Transitory Nature

Germanys latest political difficulties
are regarded by officials here as due
largely to internal problems and prob
ably OF transitory nature only.
The dismissal of Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman, Minister OF Finance
Helfferich. or even Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg himself would be con-
sidered largely a surface movement,
for not until the great army general
staff itself is reached. it is believed,
will the real crust of German milttar-
ism be broken.
The German foreign office, it was
pointed out today, has served during
the war merely as a means to get mill
tary leaders out of trouble. Decisions
have been made without reference to
the civil branch. and matters brought
to the attention Of the latter only when
1t was desired to negotiate a way out
of the difficulty
