GOVERNOR PETER NoRBEcK.


One of the first official acts of Governor Norbeck, in his recon-
nendations to the legislature, was to endorse the proposition to com
ncnce improving the land adjoining the city on the south for a
future hospital for the insane.
Some years ago, as this paper has previously stated, the state
became the owner of a section of land formerly belonging to its first
governor, the late revered Arthur c. MeUette. Governor Melette
had been surety on the bond Of State Treasurer Taylor, who defauted.
The governor turned over to the state all Of his property to assist
in making good the shortage, SO far as possible, amounting to many
thousands of dollars, and some years later, financially stranded, he
left the state of South Dakota to start anew in Kansas, where he
died shortly afterward.
The legislature, in its wisdom, set aside this section Of land for "a
second hospital for the insane, with the provso (Which was suggest
ed by Senator a. N. Johnson of Eamln county, now the county
auditor, that no appropriations for buildings should be made until
the hospital at Yankton should contain approximately the maximum
of one thousand patients. That maximum within the meaning of the
bill has been reached.
Governor Norbeck, having the interests of the state at heart, and
having in mind the proper care of the states unfortunate class of
citizens, and in view Of the legislative enactment mentioned, has rec
commended that the present legislature appropriate funds for com
nenclng improvements on the site selected.
AS many of the state papers have stated, this is a matter that
concerns the whole state, not merely Watertown.
But Watertown would not be inhabited by human beings if there
were not a feeling of especial friendliness towards Governor Nor
beck for his recommendation, which evinccs a spirit of broad vision
and business foresight.

A AS A FERTILIZER.

The Saturday News is very glad to print a communication from
Joseph d. Rainey, formerly a Watertown boy, regarding the develop
ment of alfalfa west of the Missouri river. Mr.. Rainey's article may
be found elsewhere in this edition.
ltappears that the Cossack alfalfa, the seed of which was brought
over from the east by Professor Hansen, is particularly adapted to
the climatic conditions of the western portion of the state and that in
those regous it is sharing the popularity with the Grimm alfalfa,
which is generally held to be among the most hardy varieties known
for the climatic conditions prevailing in the northern and northwest
ern sections Of the United States.
This fact, however, as Mr.. Rainey says, does not especially affect.
the question of the enlargement of the sphere of the agricultural.

The farmers of South Dakota, we opne, in sections other than

those crops must be a legume, in order to maintain its fertility.
In many parts OF the west, where sugar beets are extensively
grown, alfalfa IS the malnstay in preserving soil fertility, for the
securing OF sufficient barnyard fertilizer to answer the purpose is out
OF the question. SO alfalfa has come to be regarded as a NECESSARY
