Lennon will be the home of the South Dakota State
School of Forestry. Hon A. n Hoffman, Representative
from Perkins County, has introduced House Bill 372 to
establish this school in Lennon and has asked for an ap
preparation of $2oOOOOO with which carry out the plan
This bill is the result of discussion in the Commercial
Club Rooms on legislation time past and in which
Ray }. Murphy remarked that Lennon should have a
college OF this kind in the future After talking
over the matter it decided ask the legislature to
make the appropriation for this institution and Attorneys
Murphy and Tscharner selected as a committee to
go to Pierre to look after the interests Of this section
MIR. Hoffman requested to introduce the bill and he
placed the bill before the House the last day allowed
for Introducing bills
While the sentiment has been against founding
schools IN the state is probable that the legislature will
take into consideration the fact that in the Northwestern
part of South Dakota there state owned institu-
tons of any description while in the eastern part, the
schools almost too closely located.
The public in the norhN part of the state will
await with interest the fate Of House Bill 372.

LODGEPOLE FARMER SHIPS
CARLOAD OF RABBITS

c. C. Tank Of Lodgepole, billed
out carload of $500 rabbits
Tuesday, for the Chicago. market.
At the present market price
rabbits range from $4 to $50
per dozen, which will make the
shipment amount to approx
mately $500. This is the largest
shipment of its kind from Het-
finger but will probably be an
incentive for similar future ship
ments. Mr.. Tank says that rab-
bits have become such nuisance
that farmers are forced to shoot
them to protect their property.
He believes it an excellent ldea
for farmers Of locality to band
together and save the rabbits
they shoot during the season,
and ship them in carload lots to
the eastern market. He belleT-
ed that the amount Of money ne
could get for carload Of rabbits
was worth saving, so he collected
the rabbits his neighbors had
shot adding them to what he al
ready had and was able to ship
an entire carload. Adams Coun-

In past years the Milwaukee

kLFALFA SEED FROM

The alfalfa growers in this sec

the demands made by purchasers
of alfalfa seed is proof that it is
South Dakota or Montana grown.
and not from southern fields. as
the seed from Kansas and other
southern states will not stand
the winters of the more north

states east Of here. The local
growers are moving for the reg

such manner that they can Sc
cure verified certificates cover
ing the particular fields and the
character of the crop grown
thereon. With these certificates
they will have a standing in re-
gard to the seed they desire to
market, which no amount Of
mere assertion as to the class Of
seed could possibly give them.
The Central South Dakota
Growers Association is doing a
lot of cleaning and grading of al
falfa seed at their warehouse in
this city, and their work is doing
great deal toward boosting the
alfalfa seed industry in the cen
tral portion of the state, and Civ

Passion is the basis OF the
