SEEMING OF ROUGH FISH HAS

GOSSIP OF THE STATE HOUSE
4 Review Of tho Work Of the state

Pierre

Governor Norbeck has received a
number OF clippings in the past few
days asking why South Dakota does
not follow the action of Minnesota,
In allowing the SEEMING of rough fish
from the waters of the state for food
purposes. As a general reply to this
Governor Norbeck in a letter, says
he is in full accord with the policy
of allowing the taking Of rough nom
game fish from the waters of the state.
but that the fact appears to have
been overlooked that instead OF fol-
lowing Minnesota, that state is four
years behind South Dakota, In such
a plan. such system having been car
ried out In South Dakota waters ever
since Mr.. Hedrick has been at the
head of the game department OF the
state. That for the -four years shown
by the report ending July LIST last,
there have been an average of ESQ tons
of such fish taken out for each of these
years, or a total Of a thousand tons,
and since July LIST of this year prac.
tically a hundred tons more have been
taken out. that the plan has become
so comm& that it no longer gets

ing out fish to secure something more
tempting than the rough fish, a re.
quirement goes with the regulation
that a representative or the state game
department is required to be on hand
to look after the work. The salary OF
such a warden is 81 a day, and where
a special warden is appointed. he often
serves merely as a representative OF
the state, at little or no expense to
the fishermen who desire to take out

Economy Not Starvation.

Economy in feeding dairy cows
does not mean to starve them. warns
Prof. G. Larsen OF State college
often the greatest economy" he says,
sis secured by feeding literally. Tho
chief reason for feeding our crops
to COW is that we make more money
by selling the dairy products than il
we sell the feed crops direct from
the farm Prof. Larsen offers the
following suggestions: Keep the feeds
under cover to retain their nutriments
and palitability. Feed the cows as
much rough feed as they will handle
economically. Feed some grain to
the large milk producers, and grind
1t before feeding. Feed each COW &C.
cording to the returns she makes.
Feed a balanced ration.

Observances That Help Causes.
Great and vital causes are advanced
by honoring the memory of their il
lustrious exponents. When the work
of these moral heroes is yet unfinished
or is being undone, the present-day
struggle for humanity is strengthened
by public observances of the anniver-
saries of the pioneers. Such events
furnish the occasion to recall the ca
reers and recite the noble utterances
of the great advocates of reform, and
to urge devotion to their ideals The
sentiment appeal which goes with the
centenary of the birth of a moral
leader makes its celebration, if car
ried on in the spirit of its life-work,
of telling help to the same cause to-
day.
