NATIONAL FOREST RANGE TO
SUPPORT INCREASED NUN.
BEERS OF STOCK

Washington, April 4:-Approved
grazing allowances for the National
Forests during the coming season pro-
vide for the %pasturing of 8.40O,1 55
sheep, 2,12O,145 cattle and horses, and
54,6SO swine. These figures, compar-
ed with those of last year, represent an
approximate increase of Ill 900 cattle
and horses and a decrease of about
200, 900 sheep. Grazing experts Of the
Forest Service figure that for purposes
of range allotment one COW is equal
to five sheep. Consequently the in
crease of Ill 900 cattle and horses
is held to be equivalent to a net in
crease of $4,000 sheep, or of 1000
cattle, over the total number of stock
graZed last year.
The decrease in the number of sheep
is said to be caused by the action OF
owners who are disposing Of their
hocks in order to buy cattle. In most
cases the reason is not because of
greater profits in handling cattle, but
because the rapidly changing condi-
tons on the open ranges, where sheep
have been handled III the past, make
1t increasingly difficult to find feed for
this class of stock during the months
when deep snow prohibits grazing on
the National Forests.
1t is stated that the capacity of the
National Forest range is gradually
being increased by protection against
over-grazing and improved methods of
handling the stock. New areas are
also being brought into use by the de-
velopment of watering places, while
the eradication Of poisonous plants is
reducing the losses suffered by the
stockmen.

DRAIN THE BARN YARD

In the spring cow yards are likely to
contain considerable manure and also
mud holes, especially right heal and
before the entrance door to the barn.
One or two mud holes in such a posi-
ton that the ANIMALS are compelled to
walk across them before they enter the
barn often make dirty COWS and there
fore, dirty milk. This objection may
be remedied often with a little extra
effort.
The n should be removed from
the yard as soon as the frost is out. At
least, the manure should be hauled out
from in front of the mud hole so as to
permit the water to drain away. Then
fill the mud hole, previously cleaned
out, with cinders or coarse ashes

RECITAL

A considerable number were attract
ec Tuesday evening to the college au-
ditorium to hear the excellent grad
uate recital given by Miss Maurine
Moore, pianist, assisted by Miss Leo
nora Pier, soprano.
A most prominent characteristic of
Miss Moore's playing was her fine per-
ception of tone quality and phrasing.
Her Interpretation of the Beethoven
Sonata was especially commendable
and her group of shorter numbers very
pleasing. The performance of the
March and Finale of the Weber Con.
cert-stuck was unusually BRILLIANT and
proved her technical ability.
The first number by Miss Pier, the
aria from Louise, was rendered with
unusual tonal beauty, and the Luck
stone Spring Like Wine is Flowing
displayed her coloratura powers to ad.
vantage.
The interest of the public in the
graduate recitals is growing rapidly,
not only because the work of the de-
partment is displayed, but because
that in these recltals occur some of the
most pleasing musical events of the
year.

CHRISTOPHER PROBLEM

Farmers who were troubled with
grasshoppers last year should get ac-
QuaInted with the best methods of
fighting them because 'he hopper pest
is likely to appear again this season.
This warning is issued by Prof. H. c.
SEVERN, state entomologist at State
College, who has just prepared a well
illustrated and practical bulletin which
shows just how to control the menace
of locusts.
"The hoppers which will be injur.
ious this year." says Professor SEVERN,
twill come largely from eggs laid in
alfalfa fields last season. and conse-
quently control measures should be
directed to such fields first. Every
farmer and gardener who was troubled
with grasshoppers last year or who
has reason to believe he will be troubl.
ed this year should begin study at
once on the proper methods of control
so that he may provide himself with
the necessary poisons and other equip
ment."
All this information is available In
the new grasshopper bulletin. It will
be mailed free to residents Of the state
upon application to the director of the
experiment station. Brookings.

SUBJECTS OF RURAL DEBATES

The best subjects for debating at
country literary societies are those in
which the members are genuinely and
vitality interested. A mistake is too
often made in the choice of a subject
too far removed from local interest or
experience.
Why not, for example, enter into a
discussion of the adoption of the con-
solidated school? The department of
public instruction at Pierre, and for
that matter of other states probably
would be glad to supply facts taken
from places where the consolidated
school has been tried out. Then there
the problems relating to road building,
crop rotation, tax levics, candidates
fer office, the bringing up of boys and
girls, farm help, machinery, stock
breeding, and goodness what-not. a
discussion of experience at first hand
on vital questions of national and local
Importance ought to enliven and add
materially to the value of these de-
bates.
Broadly speaking, questions for de-
bate may be divided into two classes,
questions of fact and questions of
policy. Questions of fact ordinarily
affirm or deny the existence Of a fact
or the taking place of an event. Re-
solved: that Bacon wrote the plays at.
tributed to Shakespeare; that the dish
rag is more useful Than the broom; or
fire more destructive than water, come
under this class. Such questions, gen.
orally speaking, are to be avoided.
On the other hand, questions OF
policy aim to prove the correctness Of
a theory, a choice between policies OF
possible courses of action. Such ques
tions generally contain the word
should or ought and are in all respects
preferable to questions of fact.-F. i
