things are turning green at O time

fourteen large shells into their camp.

Watch the Young Pigs
For Contagious Disease

Brookings-A contagious disease
known as n~ecrobacillosis affecting
pigs from the sucking stage to three
months old Is becoming widely scat
tered yer the state. The control OF
this disease will have a direct bear
ing upon South Dakota's proposed 10
per cent increase In pork production
this year. The following practical
discussion is offered by the animal
health laboratory at state college.
Necrobaciliosis manifests itself in
q variety OF ways. In some herds of
little pigs the lips. tongue, gums and
jaws are affected. These parts show
swellings and ulcers varying from
half the size OF a pea 10 the size of a
mans thumb nail. The edges are quite
red and infamed, and the center Of
ten contains a thick. dark-colored
scab This condition soon interfercs
with their eating. and they get thin
and unthrifty and die. Treatment
consists in removing the scabs and all
dead tissue. and painting the ulcers
with tincturc of iodine. This early
and persistcntiy followed will save
some of the pigs that II left untrcat-
Cd would be lost. Dipping the pigs
n thoroughly d~isinfecting the pens
Is also q part OF wise treatment.

Seed Corn Shows Low Test
Report From State College

Brookings--The agronemy depart
ment of State college has probably
made the most thoro seed corn survey
OF South Dakota that has ever been
made of any state. or about fifteen
hundred different samples tested from
all parts OF the state. most OF It APP
peared good but tested less than rs
per cent termination. There are only
35 names on the list OF those having
for sale corn which tested more than
rs per cent. Apparently no farmer
can be sure of his seed without ear
testing It Today is the time TO make
certain the supply OF seed corn on
every farm.

AN ANSWER

An answer to Mr.. Johnson's article
in the last issue Of the Miller Press.
We, being part Of the commit
tee appointed by the Local Red Cross
to solicit articles OF donation to be
sold at the Hand County Red Cross
Sale held at st. Lawrence. February
Goth.
We. the undersigned. as part Of the
committee solicited the merchants and
business men OF Miller.
We called on Mr.. J. w. Johnson and
ask what he would be willing to give.
Mr.. Johnson stated that he would not
donate anything for a Red Cross sale;
claiming that he was giving $500 a
week In discount on yarn sold to the
Red Cross. On investigation we find
that the Red Cross yarn committee
bought four bundles Of yarn In the
fall OF 1917, being the only yarn
bought OF Mr. Johnson for Red Cross
work. At that time the yarn cost 1oc
more per skein at Mr.. Johnson's than
any other store in Miller charged.
We also find by investigation that
we were not the first committee to
wait on Mr.. johnson and have him
refuse to do anything.
As to his clerks. they have been
found TO be ladies and gentlemen In
every respect and are members and
donaters to the Red Cross.
The yellow paint which raj placed
upon his store was not meant for any
OF his clerks. but was meant for the
yellow streak that has been found in
Mr.. johnson.
