 As soon as the hard freezes are over and the ground can be worked, both crops can be set out immediately. Neither crop does well in hot weather, but both thrive in the cool of spring and autumn.
 The usual method of planting is to scatter the seed broadcast as grass seed is sown and the picking the leaves sipgiy when they are large enough for use.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

There will be general interest in the decision Of the Superior Court of Pennsylyania on the constitutionaJity Of the law prohibiting the holding of food in cold storage more than nine months. A dealer claims the right of keeping butter in storage and selling 1t without regard for time limit. The state contends that the law was in- tended to equaiize the distribution of supplies, and that nine months is a dealers. The principle of cold storage is not attacked: the differences of opinion relate to the power of the state in fixing a time within which perishabie supplies must be sold.- Providence Bulletin.

Dear Will: There is an effort being made here to organize students into groups of five, ten, fifteen, etc, and send them out to work on farms until September, or October. The under standing is that every farmer who takes one or more students will pay them s20 a month and their board. The farmer must agree to plant extra crops to make use of the student, the idea being that the government wants to encourage big crops of all kinds this year.
 Fifty men will leave for West Vfr- ginia this week to plant corn, etc Do you know of any farmers in your town or county who want one man or more under the above conditions? Some one farmer in each district must agree to be responsible for the men as a group who come and see that they get pIac- ed only with farmers who are good honest, fair men. and he will also have to see that the students stick it out for the whole summer until the crops have been harvested. If you can line up any farmers in your neighborhood let .ne know and I will get you plenty of men. The boys can learn leave here at once if needed,

south DAKOTA QUOTA
FEWER THAN 5000 MEN ARE TO
BE TAKEN BY THE DRAFT.

Pierre, July 9.-It is not yet def
nitely known whether the quota of
the several states under the draft
will be based upon the estimated
population or upon the actual regis
tration. In some states this will be
a very important consideration, while
in South Dakota the difference would
be but 100 men. On the proposition
that a total of 1000. 900 men are to
be called, South Dakota's quota
would be upon a registration basis,
1852, and upon a population basis.
1886. Upon this figure, whichever
it be. we will receive a credit for the
national guard entire. and enlist
ments in the regular army since April
|. There are in the national guard
today 3.4S7; there are probably 500
men In other military organizations
for which the state will get credit,
reducing the total number of drafted
men to something less than 5000.
