STATE COLLEGE
OFFERS ITS HELP
IN FARM PROBLEMS
Experiments and knowledge
Agricultural College Available
to all South Dakota People

Brookings, S. D.-The State Col
lege is endeavoring in every way
possible to serve most effectively the
people Of the State but considerable
difficulty Is experienced In reaching
the very class Of people who ought
to be using this institution In a prac-
tical way. Our Institution is divided
into the Institutional, Experimental
and Extension Divisions, all of which
are important and each one serving
a particular purpose. The average
person in South Dakota is interested
in the extension division only as
that department reaches him In per-
son, and the same is true to a degree
Of our Institutional Division, but
what I most desire just now Is TO
place before the Farmers of South
Dakota the many ways In which they
may use to advantage the different
departments of the State College.
Since its establishment this Institu-
ton has carried on at It's various
stations extensive experiments cover
ing a wide range of subjects-the
proper method of cultivation in South
Dakota, the best fruits, grains, var
ieties of seed, etc, have been deter
mined, the various breeds OF live
stock. cattle, hogs, sheep, ETC., have
been bred and raised 10 determine
their fitness for this section Of the
country, experiments in the use and
effectiveness of black leg vaccine and
hog cholera serum have been per-
formed and we now distribute this
vaccine to all requesting free of
charge. These are only a few of the
things we have done.
The results Of these Investigations
are published in bulletin form. and
which bulletins are mailed free OF
charge To anyone. requesting them.
And everyone of the experiments
has been carried on for one purpose;
that the State College nay be of
Practical Value, To the Farmers and
business men of the state.

FIRST AMERICANS
ON BATTLE FRONT
American Infahtrymen Went Into the
First Line French Trenches
Last Week

With the First American Soldiers
In the Trenches, Oct. 27.-(Delayed
by the censore.-American Infantry
men and German regiments face one
another tonight in the first line
trenches on the western front.
Slate. drab colored. soft ground,
blotched with rust red expanses and
wire entanglements, separate the hos
tile lines along an historic sector In
which the American fighting men are
located. In supporting positions hear
the rear, American artilleryfnen and
their guns are registered on every
yard Of the immediate terrain where
France and Germany have been In
death holds for two years.
There Is no moon and the few
clouds that veil the stars seem to ac-
c~entuate the biackness of the night
Here in the darkness and mud. on the
slippery firing steps of the trench
walls and in damp dugouts, the
young. red blooded Americans are
mingling for the first time with the
veteran troops OF France.
A mean drizzle Of rain is falling,
but IL feels cool on the red Ameri-
a cheeks. hot with excitement. The
very wetness of the air impregnates
all. II touches them with the mo-
righteousness of the event. Their
spirits are as high as the mud Is deep.
and history Is chiseiing tonight's
date in the book Of ages.
Occasionally a shell whizzes
through the soft atmosphere, SEEM
ing to lead to an unseen arc of
sound in the darkness above. II
terminates with a sudden thump in
the spongy, water soaked mound be-
hind US. An answering missive OF
steel whines it's way back across the
void into the populated invisibility I'm
front of us.
Troops Cheered by Civilians
We entered the trench under cover
of darkness at an uncomfortable
hour, relieving French veterans, who
retired 20 the support trenches.
During the day the infantry was
quartered in a small battle SCARED
village. at a safe distance behind the
lines. They reached that place after
easy marches. From their camps In
the American army the roughboys
YER transported In trucks through
dozens of French towns. The pop
ulation, we'll aware OF the destina-
tion, turned out in full force to
cheer the helmeted Americans trench
ward.
For three days / have heen living
with an American battery whose
commander is a reserve captain COM
missioned a few weeks ago from In
diana.
We arrived al the front a few days
before the infantry. Our battery, be-
ing equipped with the highest field
pieces, was one of the first TO go in
to position at an advanced station
Immediately behind the trenches TO
be occupied by the Americans.

bacco and magazines. Almost every
thing to eat and read. besides the
band and the Hurrahs. They ccr.a::
ly showed us a good time. From
Sioux City we had a special of nine
coaches. There we're 1928 of the boys
