cry endeavor to see that the country

Will Increase Poultry Production.
The United States department of ag-
riculture has sent Ed L. Hayes to
South Dakota to conduct a campaign
for greater poultry production, work
ing through the State college extern
sion division. Mr.. Hayes is practical
poultryman, having been poultry
breeder for fifteen years. He is H.
censed Judge in the American Poultry
association with considerable judging
experience in the poultry shows of
Wisconsin and Illinois, including the
Chicago show. He is familiar with
all the details of management of all
varieties of poultry and has organized
several associations. In South Da-
kota. he will cooperate with county
agents, emergency food agents, farm
ers' clubs, poultry associations and
other organizations interested in a
bigger food supply.
One South Dakota Unit.
Gov. Peter Norbeck and ]. E. Ma
Their, of Watertown, have conferred
with Maj. Gen. Augustus B. Blocksom,
division commander at Camp Cody,
with reference to the recent order
from the war department which is
calculated to give South Dakota fuller
recognition in the reorganized army.
1t was said that the organization of at
least one South Dakota unit will be
made from the men secured through
the One Hundred andThirty-sixth in
fantry, Second Minnesota and other
units. The military organization of
South Dakota will be otherwise kept
together as far as practicable, it was
reported. Results of the conference
probably will be announced later.
County School Ruling.
1t has been ruled that the provision
of Sec. z, of chapter 1873, laws of 1917,
which attempted to limit the employ
ment of deputy or clerk for county
superintendent of schools, to counties
with seventy-f1ve or more schools is
unconstitutional, as no such provision
is expressed in the title of the law, the
constitution prohibiting enactments of
subject matter in laws, where there is
no title indication Of such enactment.
This in effect replaces the old law of
chapter 1T, laws of 1915, which au-
thorizes the employment of deputies
or clerks for county supertntendents
in counties with sixty-five or more
| schools.
The coal situation is apparently
acute at some points in this state. The
publisher of the local paper at Marvin,
on the main line OF the Chicago, MIL
waukee and st. Paul railway, in Grant
county, apologies for the lack of news
In his paper for the reason "that he
only had fuel enough to keep the office
open one day for the week." In an.
other item he says the town has had
no hard coal for a year, and no soft
coal for three weeks, and that people
are burning such brush and wood as
they can gather in the gulches in that
vicinity"
