COUNTY AGENT
RUSSELL G. JENSEN APPOINTED
TO SUCCEED /. j. BIBBY.

l. B. Johnson, state leader for
county agents for South Dakota, has
sanctioned the Lake county farm bu-
reau's choice in the person of Russell
C. Jensen. He was selected by the
Lake county farm bureau over sew
eral other applicants. The new Lake
county agent who succeeds /. j. Bib
by is a former Lincoln county agent.
He is 33 years old and has capabil-
tiles along practical farming lines
that will make him very useful to
the farmers of Lake county who will
be governed more or less by the
counsel he offers from his office at
the courthouse.
Mr.. Bibby does not intend to drop
entirely his interest in practical
farming and the raising of better
stock. He will keep in touch with
Mr.. Jensen on all matters relating to
up-to-date methods of farm operation
and the breeding of better grades OF
stock.
The farmers of Lake county should
meet Mr.. Jensen at the earliest mo-
ment and present to him their prob
lens. Agriculture in Lake county
will be given more prominence than
ever next year and an active county
agent will find plenty to do.

about six hours, but not more than
twelve hours.
6. Spread grain out not more than
two inches deep and allow to dry.
7. If convenient, the grain should
be put into clean sacks, or stored in
a clean bin, so as to prevent spores
from coming into contact with it. In
no case should it be returned to the
bin from which it was taken unless
the bin has been cleaned with forma-
lin solution Sweeping in the granary
before the treated grain has been re-
moved should never be done, since
large quantities of smut spores which
settle on the floor and walls may find
their way back again to the grain.
By the use of this method two men
can treat large quantities in a short
time, and it is preferred for treatment
of any considerable amount of grain.

MONDAY luncheon held by the Jules

tel Cafe yesterday was that of max
ing plans for county fair to be held

opinion of all that this proposition
should be looked after in the immedi-
ate future, in view of the fact that

loading dock would b. of vital need
at this point. 1t was moved and sec
onded that the secretary, r. J. Do

in touch with the General Manager of
the Union Pacific railroad and pre-
sent the matter in behalf of our citi-
zens. urging the railroad company to
