MONEY IN DAIRY AND POULTRY
Speakers Will Demonstrate to the
Farmers How $1,000 Can Be
Cleared Each Year.

I Dairying and poultry farming, as a
method of adding $1,000 a year to the
| net profits Of the average Kansas
farm, will be urged by speakers on
the Santa Fe railways demonstration
train, for extension Of those two in.
dustries, which will be run in eastern
Kansas, March to 81. The itinerary
includes 106 cities and towns in that
part OF the state. H. M. Banner. agri
cultural and industrial agent for the
railway, will be in active charge OF
the train. Speakers from the Kansas
State Agricultural college, which is
cooperating with the railway COM
pany, will be aboard They include
the heads of both the dairy and poul-
try divisions of the institution. The
time they will be on board follows:
Poultry-Ross NJ. Sherwood, acting
head of the poultry division, March G
to II. apd Prof F. E. Fox, instructor
in the poultry division, March 10 to

Fitch of the dairy division, March 10
to "a and Prof. o. E. Reed, head of
the dairy division. March rs to 81.
These experts, and those from the
Santa Fe and other institutions, will
explain, In practical way, to those
visiting the train, the proper methods
of feeding, buying, caring for and rails
ing cows and chickens. Several speak
ers will urge winter dairying in order
that farmers may realize some Of the
profits from the high prices of such
products In that season. Professor
Sherwood asserts the average farmer
can double the profits from his pou-
try flock If he will handle his hens
so they will lay in winter
Besides other equipment the train
will carry three meeting coaches, a
car Of live poultry exhibits, selected
from the best flocks of the state, and
car of dairy cattle, the pick of the
agricultural college herds. In the lat
ter car will be Canary Bell, the cham
pion milk and butter producing cow

ONLY CROPS
ADD FERTILITY TO SOIL

Legumes are the only crops that
d anything to the soil, and sweet
clover, clover, and alfalfa ara the
common representatives. They have
the power of taking nitrogen from the
atmosphere and fixing it in such form
that other crops can use it. There is
more nitrogen removed from South
Dakota soils than any other element
Of plant food. and the only practical
bic way of getting it back into the
soil is to grow legumes and pillow
them under or feed them to stock
and return the manure to the land,
South Dakota takes great pride in
the fact that the acreage of corn is in
creasing rapidly. The alienation of

corn and small grain crops will prob-
ably give larger yields and so draw
more heavily upon the soil. 1t is a
plain hard fact that the fertility Of
the soil must be maintained il pro-
ductive crops are to be grown.
The one safe thing which every
farmer in South Dakota may do this
season is to increase the acreage of
clover, sweet clover and alfalfa to at
least a third or fourth of his farm.
These crops will not entirely solve the
question of maintaining the soil fer
tility, but they will go a long way IN
that direction. Get the seed now
while it is available. Get good seed,
and see that it is free from noxious
weeds.-J. G. Hutton, Associate Agon-
omist, S. D. Experiment Station.

necessary help to produce the crop is guaranteed by the sugar fac
tory management, which agrees to accept all the beets grown in this
section this year.
The Saturday News thinks it's worth while for the experiment
to be conducted, and it hopes that several hundred acres will be de-
voted to beet culture in Codington county in 1917.

The Webster World calls our attention to the fact that a citizen
OF Iurton, 5. D., has finally fixed the blame for the high cost of
eggs: tie says the farmers are responsible, and he wants a com
missioner OF poultry appointed by the governor to prevent further
exaHhons by the horny handed sons Of toll. We're glad that some
body has found out something about this high cost business. We
maven t had an egg for breakfast since we dined with Sam Hess
at the Lincoln, and We've always thought that Sam stole the egg
from a farmer who sneaked into town to swap it for a ton Of coal.
We move that this Turton mar be appointed commissioner of eggs.

Henry Ford is a peculiar cuss. He went over to Europe, tax
ing a shipload of hackers with him, to shoe the Europeans out of
n trenches. No he offers to lend the government his Fords to
carry the boys to the trenches in the event of hostnities Wit another
country: Henry peace proposition is obviously based upon whose
OK is being gored. But that's about the situation with the rest of us
isn't it?

The Saturday News believes that those newspapers which are
lending their influence to prevent a change IN newspaper postage rates
are working against, not only their own interests, but the interests
lof the country.
As an illustration, one prominent Philadelphia house last year
Isaved more than half a million dollars on the actual cost of transport
ing its various publications by mail. In other words, it cost the
government of the United States more than half a million dollars
more than it received for the service to transport these publications
to the subscribers.
1hreefourths, or more, of the newspaper circulation is within
three hundred miles of the place Of publication, whereas the maya
zines have but scant local circulation. Their circulation is through
out the country.
1t cost this Philadelphia house not a fart1ng more per pound
to have its periodicals carried across the continent than it cost The
Saturday News to have its output carried to it's readers at Castle
wood, or Clark, or I1ayti.
1t cost the government from four to eight cents a pound to
carry the Philadelphia magazines to their destination, whereas the
government received but one cent a pound.
It's an imposition upon the country for it to be compelled to pay
half a million dollars to carry these Philadelphia products through
the mails at less than one-ffth the actual cost when about five
sevenths of all they contain is represented in advertising, from
which the publishers reap immense profits.
The Saturday News may be crazy, as some of it's contem-
|porarles have branded it, but that the situation as we view it.
If any subscriber disagrees with US, or otherwise, we would be
glad to accord him space for presenting his ideas.

An exchange says that former Governor Byrne has already
announced his candidacy for the United States senate to succeed
Senator Sterling: We haven't seen such announcement. We doubt
whether 1t has been formally made. But it is taken for granted
that 1T will come. And Governor Byrne must be given credit for
ieariessness, to say the least. He has never shown the white feather
in any of his political battles, win or lose.

We note that the Grand Valley, in Colorado, has had another
reconsideration. The strange thing about this fertile valley and it's
hne people IS that for the past quarter of a century there's some
thing every year to break the record. This time it's the weather,
which IS reported to have registered from 20 to 80 below zero. We
remember distinctly when a five dollar Green thermometer, a dupli-
cate OF the one which registers the temperature for the government
weather bureaus, registered 36 below one bright morning during the
winter of 1928, or Whereabouts, while unofficial thermometers in
the nelghborhood roundabout indicated as low IS SO below. The
government thermometer at Grand Junction indicated twenty odd
below. we thnk-and that thermometer rarely tells the exact truth.

usually several degees warmer than on the ground a hundred feet
