Separate Breed Organization
Popular With StOckmen

In districts where livestock develop
ment Is rapidly advancing, the neces-
sity for separate breed organization
early became apparent. Associations
of all breeds and classes of live stock
into one organization have not proven
very successful from the standpoint
of the individual breeds. These as
sociations are going the way OF the
combination sale and are being re-
placed By breed organizations which
arrange to hold breed sales.
Hand county has arrived at that
stage of livestock development where
separate breed organization appears
essential to the best interests of the
breeds and classes of live stock rep
resented in the county.
The Shorthorn breeders OF Hand
County are to be congratulated In the
step they have taken n perfeeting the
Hand County Shorthorn Breeers' AS
sociation.
This should do much for the breed
and the breeders IN the county.
Shorthorn interests would develop
rapidly henceforth

Volga to Have Complete
Aviation Fiield--Bal Park

Volga, S. d., April 17.-Volga will be
the first small town in South Dakota
to have a regularly established avia-
ton field. Nearly $4,000 worth of
stock has been sold to businessmen
and farmers, and work will start at
once. A 20-acre tract has been leased
for five years The tract has al Ideal
location for a baseball park and avia-
ton field. Volga is on a direct route
between the twin cities and Huron,
Pierre and the Black Hills, and also
between Sioux City, Sioux Falls and
Watertown. Several times last sum-
nier ~aviators made their night stops
at Volga and often expressed their
hope that some day Volga would have
a field. Leib & Getty have purchased
a Curtiss airplane and expect to erect
hangers on the field for the machine
and for visiting planes. On n end
OF the field a 120 foot grandstand will
be built and the ground nearby pre-
pared for a baseball diamond. Every
effort will be made to provide one OF
TIE best aviation fields and baseball
parks in South Dakota.

NO WELCOME" SIGN
AT STRATFORD
"NobOdy HOme7 When "Chairman" OF
Veterans Of World Wars Ap.
pears for Speech

The Aberdeen American gives the
following account of a meeting sche-
trled to be held at Stratford, a little
village near Aberdeen, by Lester p.
Barlow, ~so-called national chairman
Of the World War Veterans,a rival
organization of the American Legion.
Barlow is an old crony Of Villa, Of
Mexican Revolution fame, and STRAIT
ford is to be congratulated on ignoring
this representative of the VanLear
type of Americanism.
Lester P. Barlow, selected as ma
tional chairman" by some thirty &C.
legates of the world War Veterans
recently in a family gathering at Min
neapolis, seems to be finding South
Dakota a chill and frosty place for his
exploitation of the order started by
Van Lear, the socialist mayor of Min
neapolis, and financially backed by the
Townley non-partisan warsack, in the
effort toward political capitalization
of the e~x-service men.
A couple of days ago Barlow was
refused permission to deliver an ad-
dress in his capacity as an angel
Of discomfort" by the mayor of STRAIT
ford, SO last evening in a special car
with a bodyguard OF some fifty kin
dred spirits, recruited locally, and a
hired band, he returned to Stratford
to put it across"
"NObOdy Home
Stratford may not be one of the
largest towns in South Dakota, but
it is evident that it houses some of
the cleverest brains in the state, for
1t put the "snuffer of silence" over
last evening to excellent effect.
The expeditionary force of Mr..
Barlow's arrived to find the town
lights turned off, the stores locked
up and the ~populace playing pinoch-
lie, the photograph or quietly sleep
ing the rest or n just in their homes.
So the Aberdeen coterie listened to
Mr.. Barlow deliver an Impassioned adj
dress to them in the dark, had the
bany play by ear, tramped around the
deserted streets by starlight and wear
lily waited for train-time to return
home.
1t vas perfectly evident to the Wis
itors that the town of Stratford knew
what they were about when they cleo
ted their mayor and town board, and,
furthermore, plain that the citizenry
was most intellectual in being able to
handle their own business just as they
pleased.

Potatoes as Bad
As Runty Breeding Pigs

Brookings, S. D., April 21.-"Runty"
potatoes should not be planted any
more than runty pigs should be used
for breeding purposes, say the en-
tension horticultural at State college.
"Runty" seed potatoes are a sad joke
On the person who plants them and
expects to harvest anything more than
a short crop. II good seed is the right
kind to plant when seed is cheap. 1t
certainly should be planted when seed
is high priced. The use of inferior
seed is the most expensive form OF
carelessness.

tours lasting through the week and
covering virtually every section of the

ed by ava of motor trucks during

Week"
Professor r. C. Atkeson, Washing
