DUST FANS FOR THRAsHERs

The frequency Of dust explosions and
fires in connection with thrashing op-
eratiOns in the wheat-producing sec
tion Of the Pacific northwest has led
to the development of a dust-collecting
fan, a device designed and perfected
by engineers of the United States de.
partment of agriculture in co operation
with the manufacturers of thrashing
machinery. This apparatus has proved
so successful that many grain sep
arators in the Pacific northwest are
now equipped with the device.
This device, when used in conjunc-
tion with a wiring system to carry off
charges Of static electricity developed
by the thrasher, and further aided by
u fire extinguisher adapted to separa-
tors, gives the thrasher a perfection
nearly absolute. Eventually this pro
lection will greatly lessen the insur-
ance risk, which hitherto has been at
the prohibitive rate of $50 to 800
for each $1,000 Of property insured.
And this rate is only for a 20-day run.
Now it appears that the joint project
of the bureaus of chemistry, plant in
dustry, and markets is to produce spe-
cifc results in O protection from fire
and explosion and decrease in insur-
ance rates; (2) the cleaning of grain,
OF, smut; and (3) the
checking Of wheat smut through the
of the smut spores by the
fans at the time of thrashing This
method reduces the wind dissemina-
be blown out of the wind stacker to
nfest the fields.

so much pop corn and wanted to know
what he was going to do with it, but
he raised good crop and he found
no trouble whatever in finding a mar
ket for it. His experiment proved so
successful that the following year he
increased his acreage, which he has
done for the past five years until last
year when he had 120 acres planted
to pop corn, and this year his plans
are for the planting of 140 acres to il.
Not only that, but Kelley has pros
pered TO such an extent through his
plunge in pop corn that he announces
that the present season will be his
last at farming. He has accumulated
such competence that he plans on
selling the farm and retiring. He says
that his pop corn has averaged him
$50 per acre for re past five years
which he claims considerable more
than he could have realized from anv
other crop. He has realized as high
as $3.50 an acre for his crop.

Scholarships TO BE GIVEN

The large sum of money left on hand
from the subscriptions to the united
war work drive since the demobiliza-
tion of the army and navy, will be
allotted to every county of every state
on the basis of population to be used
for free scholarships for ex-service
men. The studies may be pursued in
accredited schools or by correspond
ence courses covering a wide range
of vocational subjects. There are also
a limited number of college and uni
versity scholarships for each state.
Local educational committees are to be
appointed in each county to handle
this fund. These committees are TO
receive all applications ard award all
general scholarships free of cost for
their respective territories. The or
ganizing in this state is in charge of
F. M. Hubbel. State Y. NJ. c. A. head

HOME BUILDING

Santa Ana (CalJ Register - The
housing problem, though worse in some
localities than others, is a national
problem, and is not likely to be solved
until it is handled as such
England, with a home shortage prob
ably worse than ours, has tackled the
job on that basis. The government
plans to build 1000 houses. as rap
idly as the work can be carried on.
1t IS expected to take three or four
years. The project. is financed by the
government with the co-operatior Of
local organizations. Most Of the
money will be raised by popular bond
subscriptions. About $1,000 900 a day
is to be spent for this purpose until
the program Is completed. The houses
are apportioned. according TO the needs
of communities; as reported by local
officials and approved by the national
authorities.
Thus one of the chief problems of
reconstruction is being handled in
comprehensive way which seems to
insure it's success as rapidly as con,
ditions allow. Why cannot congress,
which has talked much Of reconstruc-
ton but done little, provide meas
ure for the same purpose?

RAIN GOOD FOR SOMETHING

The plentiful rains Of he present
! season make it an exceptionally good
time for seeding grasses Of various
kinds, as well as alfalfa and clover,
suggests Manlcy Champin, extension
agronOmist at State college The
critical period for grasses, alfalfa and
clover is during the hot, dry weather
Of the latter part Of June and early
July. And conditions that provided an
abundance Of moisture in the subsoil.
such as plentiful spring rains or cult.
walton og the land the year before,
will aid greatly in keeping the young
grass plants alive during the short
dronghts Of midsummer
A certain amount of grass, alfalfa,
sweet clover and other crops Of that
sort Is necessary on any farm that
hopes to continue in the business per
manenuy. Straight grain farming or
raising of grain and corn is a tempo
rary proposition at pest. Permanent,
profitable farming depends very large
ly upon whether or not the grasses,
including alfalfa and clover, can be
produced
At the experiment station at Brook
ings, rotations of crops containing one
fourth Of the area in clover have
proved more profitable than cOntinu-
GUS grain growing or the growing Of
grain and corn. II is true that there
is one serious hindranCe to the seed !
ing Of alfalfa and grasses this year, :
and that is the high price of seed but
the cost Of seed for permanent pasture
is not high when one considers that
these fields will raise for several years !
SO that the cost of seeding can be
eliminated after the stand is secured
When the weather conditions are
favorable for seeding, as they seem TO
be now, it is a good year for seeding
grass

THE CROWS NEST

Back of nearly every fad is some
wellplanned scheme to trap the public
into buying something that is not actu-
ally necessary and thereby reaping
large profits in doing so. II is. said
that the late overall fad was started
by the owners of large stocks of khaki
clothes left over after the armistice and
the manufacturers are taking this
means of unloading surplus material
that would be a drug on the market
for long time to come. The people
fell for the fad almost over night and
no doubt the schemers are chnckling
over the fact and making a lot Of
money in the bargain. Some one has
said that If you will take the word

FARMERS IMPROVE HOMES

Much greater interest is now being
shown in modern homes on South Da-
kota farms than ever before. This
is evidenced by the fact that more
than three times as many requests
for information and blue print plans
of the septic tank for sewage disposal
on the farm have been received by
the State college extension division
this winter than ever before. County
agents over the state are also receiv-
ing these inquiries and are actively
engaged in furthering the good work.
r. L. Patty, the engineer in exten-
sion does not believe that the farm
ers of South Dakota are more active
in improving conditions for their live
stock than they are in improving the
conditions Of the home, in spite Of
the fact that this is an impression
generally given out in many parts of
the country. He says he has noticed
the progressive livestock breeders
over the state are improving the equip
ment in the homes for their families
before they put the modern improve
ments in their stock barns, and this is
certainly as it should be.
1t is interesting to note that plans
are being sent to ranchers in the west
ern part of the state in the same pro-
portion as to the farmers in the east
ern part. II there are any women in
the country who deserve the health
protection and convenience of the
modern house. they are on the-farms
Of South Dakota.

Federal jurisdiction was withdrawn
from the bituminous coal industry
April /, and at the same time q
per cent increase in wages to the
miners was recommended which will
result in a $2,OO0,0OO increase Of wage
cost in the production of coal It is
doubtful and highly improbable that
the coal operators will bear this in,
crease. While the removal of govern.
ment control will give the law OF sup
ply and demand a chance to work,
there will undoubtedly be a sudden
and material increase in the price of
coal. The increase in the price of a
necessity like coal always causes the
price Of everything else to go up The
price of coal affects the production
transportation and distribution of
every commodity. The public there
