A Real Pioneer
Dies at Pierre

Pierre, Feb. 6.-Louis LaPlant, "a
famous French pioneer of this region,
died at the hospital here last Monday,
following a operation, after a long
illness of advanced years.
LaPlant was born in Quebec in 1885,
and in early youth was a s%ea-farer,
listing the principal ports of foreign
countries. Finally he became engaged
in Mississippi and then Ohio river
traffic and at 20 years of age came up
to old Fort Pierre and camped at Pie
re in the winter of 1855. Years of
hardship as a scout followed and in
1859 he entered the employ of the
American Fur Company. Later he did
scout work for General Sully, was a
freighter to the Black Hills and finally
became an Indian trader, locating in
Bon Homme county until 1875 when
he removed to Fort Pierre and since
has engaged In stock raising in the
Cheyenne river country.
LaPlant was married three times
and had two sons from each union
He was considered a pioneer of pio-
neers in this region for his excellent
service to the inhabitants.

rAyoRs RURAL SOCIAL CENTERs

The legislative bill which author
ICES the directors OF school districts
to levy a tax to further the organiza-
ton and management of social center
activities is a good thing, according
to +. Il. Brown, professor OF public
speaking at State college. He states
that great activity In this direction
will make for more public discussion
and a turning toward the good old
Friday afternoon literary society, AZ
altogether too much neglected insti-
tuition in these days.
Professor Brown says:
1t il not our notion that this move
ment should be stressed in the rural
centers in order that boys, other wise
good farmers, might become poor
lawyers: o are we so much con
cerned that boys cut out for poor
farmers become so-called professional
men of eminence.
We do believe, however, that the old
time literary society or debate club
which met In the country school
house or town hall for its program
did offer unusual opportunity for
training in citizenship training
for which the moving picture a
never qualify as a substitute.
The country school-house is the n
lroical maatfpp nlaoa whara all may
come together. Here is the opportun
ity for a night school for those whose
school DAYS we're too soon over, here
Is the platform from which may be
acclaimed the soul-stirring poems
that fix ideals, here is the clearing
house for the exchange of opinions
and the solution of problems,-a for
um for entire freedom of expression.

DECLINE In MINNESOTA WHEAT

Ten years ago the wheat crop in
Minnesota was nearly one million
acres larger than II is now. The de-
crease has amounted to nearly one
fourth the acreage of the entire crop,
While the wheat acreage was de-
creasing 25 per cent, the corn acreage
has increased 76 per cent. With g.
$4,000 acres planted this year, a crop
worth $67, 000, 900 is promised against
a wheat crop of 3,715,0 0 acres worth
$44.00 900. The 1909 yield of alfalfa
was cut from 1900 acres. Last year
$4,000 acres were cut, yielding 157 900
tons. According to estimates received
from the railroads by the agricultural
extension division, University Farm,
st. Paul. $4,000 cars of livestock were
shipped from farms In the state, the
total shipped being worth at least
$50, 000, 1000.
With the increase In the amount of
livestock and the decrease In the
oAhSuht Va WhSuts thO suiuC VI iduuo
in Minnesota has been increased.
This increase has come because the
product of the land has paid the in
terest on q larger investment. Land
that is raising a good crop OF alfalfa
and raising a herd Of dairy cows to
feed 1t to Is worth 500 an acre. Land
that is raising wheat ever at 81 a bu-
shel is not paying the expense Of cul-
tivating the land and the interest and
taxes on 500 worth of property un-
less 1t is making a yield of nearly Is
bushels to the acre. The average
yield over the state this year is IA
bushels and the average for the last
ten years Is but 1875 bushels.
Land is going up as fast as we are
learning how to make 1t yield more.

HOW TO.SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
out the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but 1t is better to grow the same
kind and get a better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of pisnt foed in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
1t contains bum or sinking smut and treat
your seed with f~ormaldehyde before sowing.
How much Of your seed viii grow7 1t is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece OF
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like q book, count 100 seeds
Just as they ran into the blotting paper, put
. strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold of the blotter, wrap it up in a piece of
butter paper (greased paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in q glass of
water like q lamp, put the test on top of the
glass. do not let il dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open IL and count 90
many kernels strong, 90 many weak, 20
