OLD LAW INVOKED
No MORE NETES AND BOUNDS
PARCELS MUST HAVE 4 IL
GAL DESCRIPTION.

County Auditor Roy Hartwich no
titled Register of Deeds Olson lately
that he should hereafter record no
land transactions in which the par
cells are described by metes and
bounds. The notice emanated from
the office Of Engineer G. A. Trim
mer, and is an observance OF a law
passed by the legislature of 1886
Sec. 9S4, 9S5. 9S6. Art. 10. Of the
Political Code of 1913. The register
Of deeds is prepared to comply with
the provision. and Will not hereafter
record such instruments of transfer.
This law provides that, if the own
or of a parcel of legal description
shall divide II into smaller parcels
for purposes of transfer Of parts. he
shall prepare a plat. surveyed by an
engineer, and have the same record
ed. If he fails to comply with the
provisions, the auditor may cause
the survey and a plat thereof TO be
made and recorded, charging the
costs to the land in the tax lists.
There are many such parcels Of
land within the city OF Madison. it Is
said. The labor Of making accurate
descriptions for purposes Of trans
ferring the tax lists from year to
year is great, multiplying the liabil-
ity of error. and making the arriving
at accurate taxation impossible.
Little or nothing has heretofore been
done in this vicinity to abate the
trouble. But at this time il is taken
in hand. and the transfer of property
will not be made, and at any time
the auditor may decide TO make such
surveys, plats and records-and If he
does the owner will pay the costs of
same.
The law applies to agricultural
lands as well as to small parcels
within the limits of Incorporated
cities and towns.

Caffree announce that If persons de
string seed potatoes and unable to

20 these officers at Pierre. they will

seed potatoes to sell. 1t seems that
i'm some sections Of South Dakota
there is an abundant supply of seed
potatoes even enough to ship into
other states-and i'm other sections
there are none at all. Both the GOV
ernor and immigration commissioner
will make every effort to see that
those who have plenty and those who
have none. get in touch with each
other so that potato planting will
bring about the most bountiful har-
vest i'm South Dakota this year.
The state live stock sanitary board
rs making a call upon farmers and
stockmen in South Dakota to assist

supply. The commission states:
'-The practice of selling COWS and
heifers for slaughter should be dis
continued. Al the present and pros
pectivc prices of cattle they are too
valuable for breeding purposes to be
sold for beef. The practice of spay-
ing heifers should also be diseon-
tinued.
"A larger production of forage
crops will enable farmers to fatten
more cattle for market and il is
strongly recommended that special
attention be given to the matter OF
forage crops this year.
In an cases where cattle are con
demned for tuberculosis. it IS prefer
able to ship them TO Sioux Falls for
slaughter under government super
vision than to destroy them ON the
farm with the loss Of the entire car
cass. Under federal meat inspection
a large part Of the carcass Is usually
available for food"
