High Cost Farm Labor
May Cut Crop Acreage

Pierre, April 6.--Two features of
farm operations in this state appear
to be coming 10 the front for consid-
Grafton. One of these the expressed
intention of a number OF farmers
from all sections Of the state to cut
down their acreage to the point where
they can handle 1t themselves, and
not depend upon farm help. This not
nearly so much on account or the
rrices asked for such work, as to the
fact that when men are secured they
DO not show any inclination In many
cases to help out in the stress OF farm
work which comes OF every farm at
some time In a year, to make up Tor
the Stacker work of other times. The
help wants to work on SO many hours
a day. regardless of the imperative
demands of nature in handling crops.
The other feature is In the fact that
in the newer counties in the central
part of the state it is estimated by
county agents and others who have
knowledge OF the situation that there
will be twenty-five per cent increase
in crop acreage this year over last
year While these two facts appar-
emily do not harmonize. the lack Is
apparently only on the surface. This
increase comes from the opening up
Of new farms on the part OF men who
sold out farther east and came FUR
Their west to buy raw land at q cheap
= price than they sold. and they r
putting in what they car handle. An
ether feature is that practically all OF
this new acreage is to be planted to
fax or fodder crops, and will affect
only the corn situation so fer as
grains are concerned.

More Money Needed
For State Departments

Pierre, April 5.-One Of the G a
sons for a demand for an early call
Of a special session of the Legislature
is in the fact that on account of in
crease costs the maintenance fund OF
the state soldiers home at Hot Springs
is exhausted with only part of the
March bills met, and the rest of the
fiscal year to be cared for. Other
state institutions are also reporting
q shortage In their maintenance funds
which will have to be met by special
legislative action. 1t will be such
problems which the special session
will be largely called upon to con-
slider, that of meeting financial de-
mands of state institutions which are
running low in funds on account Of
increased price of products.

CAMPAIGN TO SAVE
MONEY ON MEAT
April IL to II Is Week Set For South
Dakota

Bookings, S. Oak, April 6.-South
Dakota housewives are urged by the
departments OF justice and agricul-
ture of the national government to
buy the cheaper cuts Of meat the week
beginning April II. This is part of
a nationwide campaign to show con-
sumers the advantages of using mex
pensive meat cuts. During the cam
paign, dealers have agreed to carry
the less expensive cuts in quantities
adequate to meet the demand.
The present discrimination in favor
OF the very choice meat cuts, which
constitute only about one-quarter of
the meat animal, is unjustifiable, eth
o. in an economic or culinary sense,
This discrimination has driven high
the prices of the very cuts which are
IN heavy demand. The other portions
of meat are very nutritious and can
be made thoroughly palatable.
The hotels have been quicker than
housewives to take advantage of the
great spread in price between the so
called choice portions and the rela-
lively inexpensive cuts. In every
table d'hote menu one may see many
tasty dishes prepared from flank and
trisket beef and other cuts neglected
by the housewife.
The saving which a be effected
to the consumer by using OF the
inexpensive cuts is tremendous. In a
choice beef animal the short loins
whehce come fine steaks, sometimes
cost four times as much as good
wholesome roasts and chuck steaks,
which have about the same value in
calories.
Retailers and wholesalers have
promised to feature the less popular
cuts at low prices during the Save
Money on Meat Weeks.

japanese Troops Have
Occupied VladivostOk

yladivostok, April 6.-Japanese
troops today occupied vladivostok,
after eight hours of sever fighting in
all parts of the city.
The Japanese imperial flag is flying
in the place of the Russian ensign
FROM all government buildings.
Some of the officials of the revolu-
tjonary contingent already have been
arrested and deported. All Russians
have been disarmed.
Throughout last night the Japanese
fought with rifles, machine guns,
grenades and small artillery in all
portions of the city. Their incessant
firing met little opposition, as the Rus
SANS were taken by surprise, the Jap
anese moves toward occupation having
been unexpected by the party in pow
er.
Many Russians escaped into the hill
ly country behind the city, whence
they had come two months ago, when
the all-Russian government of Admir-
al Kolchak fell before the attacks OF
a revolutionary PARTY.
The last of the American Expedi-
tionary force under Brigadier General
William s. Graves, left vladivostok,
April I. A few hours subsequent to
their departure a proclamation was
