ELoPINe COUPLE CAUGHT
AFTER EXCITING cHASe

Pierpont. S. d.. Feb. 10. - Pursuing
his wife and the mar with whom she
eloped across several states. as far east
as Duluth. Mimi, and then westward TO
South Dakota, John Gunderson. Of
Butte. Mont. located his wife nca..
Pierpont and aused her arrest and that
of Peter Kamestad, the man with whom
she is said to nave eloped. The couple
was found at a farm house about six
miles from Pierpont. The city marshal
and the deserted husband arrived at
the farm Gus at about 2 o'clock in the
morning and forced the couple to ac-
company them to town. kambestad at
first refused to GO, but suddenly
changed his mind when Gundersnn
drew and flourished a six-shooter. The
wife was in a state of collapse when the
party reached town, but some hours
later had recovered to such an extent
that h was able to sit in a hotel office
chatting gaily with her husband, while
the man who had stolen her sat gloomly
apart between two officers OF the law.
All the parties concerned are young
people and the woman is decidedly
pretty. 1t is believed she and her nus
band will become fully %reconciled. but
a statutory charge may be preferred
against the other hal in the case.

About 200 were present at the banquet.
The dining room of the hotel was
decorated with large flags. Smaller
flags and flowers were used for table
decorations. "Old Glory" held the place
Of honor on the wall pack to the toast
master, while the national emblems OF
Norway. Sweden and Denmark deco
rated the side walls.
The feature of the menu was '.I.ude-
fisk" and many of the visitors. and
even some of the native born Scandi-
navians, tasted this delicacy for the
first time. The menu was printed IN
Norwegian.
Tastmaster Gunderson in his opening
address called attention to the fact that
few Scandinavians eve return to their
native lands. even for a visit, asserting
thai when they came to the United
States they came to make it their per-
manent home. He declared that while
Scandinavians had but Is per cent OF
the population Of South Dakota. they
had one-third of the membership OF
the legislature; h governor and state
treasurer. and had the chairmanships
on the two appropriation committees

two COMMITTEES on state affairs. the
most important committees of the
legislature.

He then called attention to prominent
americans from each of the three
scandinavian countries.
forulG governor lSyrne spoke of the
Scandinavians as pioneers, saying that
wherever they went they left their
mark on the civilization of the country.
Lieutenant Governor McMaster de-
clared that the state had lot honored
the Scandihavians by electing them to
office. but that the Scandinavians by
producing such high class citizens were
honoring the state.
Speaker Roberts s;aoKe briefly n

real legislative fights is being made by
representatives from the different cities;
Of the state which own their own mu-

to the measures as they are drawn.
Their position is stated in the follow

parasites. They infect the tubers
ding while digging or storing. The in
fections may occur in the field or in
the storage houses. These forms of
decay may be controlled to large ex-
tent by regulating the storage condi-
lions. The stock should be stored at
a low temperature GA to 40 degrees
FL in well-ventilated houses. Our
knowledge of Fusarium wilt disease
has not reached a stage where direc-
lions for the satisfactory control Of
the vascular parasites can be. given.
1t is possible, however, to improve the
condition by crop rotation and by care
full selection of the seed stock. Tu-
bers produced on infected plants are
likely to carry the disease, hence such
progeny should never be used for seed.
Disease-free Seed however, cannot be
depended upon to produce healthy
crop on infected soil.
Control in Seed Plot.
"Aside from the specific means of
control which have been mentioned,
the most practical method of combat
ing the disease discussed is probably
that of the seed plot. For this pur-
pose the farmer employs in the first
year the best stock available, planting
it upon his best soil type, and caring
for it in the most approved manner.
From time to time during the growing
season the weak, diseased or other
wise undesirable plants are rogued
out. At digging time it is highly de-
sirable to harvest at least portion Of
this field by hand, selecting those hills
whose yields approximate most closely
to the growers ideal. Tubers OBJ
tanned in this way form the nucleus
for the next years seed plot. If this
method is followed consistently, many
of the diseases which are now so vex-
atious will be largely held under con-
troll, and in addition the general vigor
and consequent productiveness of the
stock will be held at high level"

MORE HUMUS NEEDED IN SOIL
Land Light, Porous and Mellow
Admit Air and Water.

Soil requires vegetable matter to
make it Tight, porous and mellow
Close, compact soil does not readily
admit moisture and air, hence soil or
ganisms that are so essential in break
ing down compounds and converting
unavailable plant food into available
foods for plants cannot thrive. But
when the soil has sufficient vegetable
matter decayed to a state that we
call it humus it admits air and water
and lets these plant food helpers thrive
to make the soil richer.
Close, clammy soils will never yield
as they should till the per cent Of
humus is increased. Barnyard manure
and turning under green crops are
common ways of increasing the hui
mus. By breaking early enough for
stalks and weeds to decay more hu-
mus may be added.

in the field. In the absence of more
definite knowledge of the disease, 1t is
recommended that roguing be prac-
tfced as precautionary measure
wherever it appears.
Heavy Loss From Mosaic.
mosaic is assuming great impor-
lance as a potato disease in certain
sections Of the country. 1t is charac-
terized by nothing in the green Of
the leaves, sometimes accompanied
also by a crinkling but not a rolling
of the foliage. The disease should not
be confused with the uneven yellowing
which results from the application of
excessive water in irrigated regions
nor with the somewhat different yell
lowing and rolling associated with ex-
cessive alkali content in soils, nor
should it be confused with the con-
dition of partial absence of coloring
matter, possibly chimera, seen occa-
sionally in fields, more particularly in
certain sections of the West. The
cause of mosaic has never been deter
mined, but it is known that the dis
ease Is reproduced when tubers from
affected plants are used for seed. The

Potato diseases, which are showing

the potato-disease situation and pos

"A disease Of the potato which is

Of this disease Is unknown. It Is
characterized by the appearance Of an

a tendency to run down the veins
through the stems Of the leaflets to the
main petiOle, or 1eafstalk, producing
a streaked appearance. The affected
portions of the plant wither and die,
the leafstalks break over at the axil
of the leaves-that is, their junction
points with the branches-with the re-
suit that leaves hang directly down,
swinging in the wind and attached
only by a portion of the epidermis. In
severe cases the plants are eventually
entirely killed. The trouble is appar-
