POTATOES IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Potato production in South Dakota
increased 1908 per cen in the ten
years, 1906 to 1915, according to a bull
letin on potato culture just issued by
the state experiment station for the
agronomy department of State College.
The acreage in 1906 was 35,422 acres.
producing 3,542,2 200 bushels, worth ST..
239,770. In 1915, there were $4,000
acres of potatoes. yielding 1920 900
bushels having a total value of 81
$4,000. The increase in value kept
pace with the increase in production
and production increased more than
the acreage-in other words the acre
yield has increased. The average
yield an acre for the ten-year period
was SO bushels with an average price
of "a cents, or 1854 an acre each year.
According to the bulletin, Irish Cob
bier and Early Ohio are the potatoes
which seem best adapted for general
culture. while the Acme has given best
results for early markets. At the Cot
tonwood station, Acme and White Har.
vest, extra early varieties. have proved
best. At Brookings, Highmore and
Eureka, Irish Cobbler and Eureka,
medium early. led. At Bookings, the
late varieties, Raleigh, Bugless and
Late Rose have also given satisfactory
returns.
The bulletin is a very complete trea-
tise on how to succeed with potatoes
in South Dakota and includes such
items as seed selection, disease con-
troll, rotation of crops. best methods
of planting, insect control, cultivation,
harvesting and marketing. Potato
growers may obtain copies free of

connection with planting is that the
corn planter ought 70 be tested TO see
how it is working before starting work
in the field. One of our boys started
out ia plant cOrn without testing the
planter and used up half a bushel Of
seed on 4 acres before he Noticed that
the planter was not working right.
This is possibly an extreme case of
oversight, but We know that it is true
that many similar mistakes are made.
Either the planter will be missing a
hill every now and then or dropping
too many kernels or not enough. Our
tests indicate that a four stalk hill is
almost as bad as a one stalk hill and
that the ideal number of seeds per hill
is three. With this ideal number in
every hill and "A relatively small ear
on each stalk, it is possible to produce
from so to 20 bushels per acre with
the same cultivation. interest and
taxes that would be required for a 20
or 80 bushel crop.

The United States civil service
commission, whose duty it is to fill
these civilian positions, urges, as a
patriotic duty, that qualified persons
offer their services for this work,
work vital to pushing the war. Good
salaries are offered, and the work is
all in the United States. With the
exception of a few Of the clerical po-

A OEPLORABLE MATTER

The Sioux Falls papers of early
this week contained dispatches from
Centeryille, stating that Prof. +. f..
Brown. Of State College, while 1T the
latter place. acting as a judge in a
high school contest. had been iiscov-
cred in the room of a lady stopping
at the same hotel. 1t is also reported
that Regent Dwight asked for and re.
ceived the resignation Of Mr.. Brown
on Saturday afternoon, and that he
has since left Bookings. It is also
reported that Mr.. Brown had decided
against Centerville in the contest and
that certain people Of that city were
anxious to find something against him.
How much of this whole matter is true
cannot be told at this time. but it is
very evident that Mr.. Brown has been
guilty Of an indiscreet action, wheth-
er any criminal action could be prov
en- is hard to believe. The lady in
question is said to be a friend of the
Browns and his friends here say that
he was consulting with her over the
decision that caused so much furore
in Centerville and raised their ire.
Mr.. Brown has been thoroughly liked
in Bookings. having worked hard for
all patriotic measures and is a genial
and talented man. Mrs. Brown has
the sympathy OF the community in
this matter and Mr.. Browns friends
are believing the best OF him that they
can, hoping for some happier outcome
to this deplorable affair.

SAVE CREAM CANS

Save the cream cans. A. p. Ryger,
state dairy expert, calls attention to
the great shortage of cream contain
ers and to the importance of saving
every can from rust and misuse. He
says:
Cream producers, creamery mana
gers, ice cream manufacturers and
handlers of milk, cream and ice cream
should bear in mind the Importance
at this time of conserving the supply
of cans and containers used in the
handling Of these products by giving
such the best Of care.
Cream cans should not be used In
discriminatory for purposes OF hauling
and storing water. collecting rain wa
ter or any other use than that for
which they are intended To use milk
and ream cans for such purposes is
a violation of the law. and a most
wasteful practice since it causes them
to rust and become unsanitary, result
ing in great losses in quality of the
product stored as well as losses in
number of cans injured from rust be-
yond repair,
"Ice rea dealers should remember
that it is a violation OF the law to con-
sign for transportation unclaimed emp
ty ice cream containers. This is for
sanitary reasons. but in order to con-
serve the supply of containers it Is
necessary nOt alone to clean all such
containers after emptying but also to
dry them thoroughly to prevent rust
ing.
III containers are not returned to
the owner as Don as they are empty
and cleaned. which they should be.
they must be stored under cover and
rot be permitted TO stand about on
sidewalks. In back alleys or on depot
platforms, subject 10 filth and ruin

CLEANUP DAY

Whereas, this is the time of the year
when it is necessary that all premises
in the City of Bookings be cleaned
up and all rubbish removed therefrom
in order that the sanitary conditions
may be improved as far as possible,
and it should be a matter of civic pride
with every citizen that our city be kept
clean and beautiful;
Therefore, l, w. II. Leighty, mayor
of the city of Bookings, do hereby
designate and appoint Tuesday, the It'll
day of May, 1913, as CLEANUP DAY
for the city and request that all citi-
zens make it a point to see that all rub.
bish and refuse on his or her premises
be gathered and removed.

HOW ABOUT THE CORN GROUND
(By Manley |Champlin)

Owing to the fact that the seed corr
and even many of the kernels which
sprout will not prove very vigorous
unusual care will be needed in pre-
pairing the seed bed in South Dakota
Our experiments indicate that corn
does well on fall blowing or spring
plowing. that there is not a great deal
of difference in the yield obtained as
an average from late tall blowing and
spring blowing. but hat early fall
blowing is usually better and gives a
bigger production han either. Fall
blowing should be narrowed first to
clods and then disced or double disced
about the first of May or in time to
kill the weeds before they have time
to make very much growth. Then
just before planting, about May 10 to
20, the land should be narrowed again.
This treatment in the spring will help
to overcome the tendency for fall
blowing to be more weedy than spring
blowing and will also aid the seed corn
in terminating and making a vigorous
plant by warming the soil, Spring
blowing should be narrowed immedi-
ately after blowing and if the ground
Is very loose it should be made firm
in some way. This "a be done by
running the disc over it set straight
and weighted, when used in this man
ner the disc will serve the same pur-
pose as a roller. If the roller consist
ing Of a series of convex plates is
available, it is the best implement that
can be used for this purpose on spring
blowing. If the land is rolled it should
be narrowed preparatory to planting
The seed bed for corn prepared in this
name will be firm enough so that
the corn can be planted at the proper
depth which Is about two inches. The
more even the corn can be planted the
better the results which will be OBJ,
tanned.
After planting we find that it is well
worth while to draw the ground again
This serves to cover up the marks sc
that the gophers can not follow them
and take out the corn. 1t also viii
kill a good many weeds that are just
starting and aid further in warming
up the soil for the benefit Of the young
corn plants. II this is done 1t will
prevent blind cultivation. but we find
that blind cultivation is no necessary
where the land is treated in the way
outlined above. Another ~precaution

A COW

(By Prof. c. Larsen, Director of FIX
tension South Dakota State College)
AS a producer of good nutritious
human foods, no animal excels the
dairy COW.
In Germany there is not milk enough
for everybody and many COWS have
been slaughtered due to the lack of
feed and meat. The kaiser has de.
creed that only children less than sew.
en- years Of age can drink milk. He
knows that milk contains the neces.
sary elements of growth and hat chill.
dren must have it to grow into strong
healthful individuals.
Herbert Hoover. the u. S. National
Food Administrator, says: do not
limit your supply Of milk and table
butter but consume it all. DO not
waste any" Mr.. Hoover has asked
us to observe meatless and wheatless
days. Why does he not limit the use
of dairy products? Mr.. Hoover knows
well that butterfat contains things
that are vital to growth. He knows
that milkless days would mean baby
less homes. He knows that milk in
its natural state is perishable and can
not be shipped and used by our armies.
Milk, however. can be used at home
and TAX the place Of other foods.
This Keep a Cow" practice would
leave more of the non-perishable pro-
ducts to ship to the army, and the in
crease In milk consumption would
mean better nourished people at home.
If the Keep a Cow" program is car
ried out, there would be moro milk
that could be made into butter. into
cheese, into condensed milk and into
milk powder. These dairy products
are non-perishable, and can be shipped
to the camps and to the front for our
soldiers and our Allies.
Keeping a COW will help the boys by
giving them regular work. The feed

gan for some time. Why not add one
more slogan and practice it? Keep a

COW will bear me out in the statement
that anyone who has a good cow has
a good living.

ownership of wireless systems win be
fought by the Marconi Wireless Tel

is opposed to permanent operation of
such systems by the navy department
as proposed by Chairman Alexander
of the merchant marine committee of
the house. This was the declaration
today of Edward j. Nally, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the Mar
conf company, who will leave for
Washington tonight to consult with
congressional committees ana officials
of the navy department
Mr.. Nallv took exception to the
statement Of Representative AleXan-
der that trans-oceanic wireless teleg-
raphy is not serious competitor of
the cables
The fact that the statement pre-
pared by the navy department states
that trans-oceanic radio biography
is not serious competitor Of the
cables and that higher power stations
are not yet able to receive from one
another all day and in all seasons
proves that the government is not
able to make the most of its oppor-
tunities and get the best results from
trans oceanic wireless operations he
said This statement Is a weak at
tempt to minimize in the eyes Of the
public the importance of wireless
competition with the cables. 1t seems
a pity at this time when trans-oceanic
communication is so important that
commercial wireless companies
should not be given the fullest OPP
portunity to meet the public de-
mands."
