OPENER ON HOME
FIELD SATURDAY
BATTLE WITH NORTH DAKOTA
AGGlES OPENS SEASON
IN BROOkINGS
STATE DEFEATED BY \. D.U LAST WEEK
Hard Fought Game at Grand Forks
is Lost by Narrow Margin
of Three Points.

The first college football game OF
the season in Bookings will be played
at State field next Saturday between
State college and the North Dakota
Agricultural college. Local fans are
very much interested in seeing the
State college team in action and this
game will no doubt be full of action.
The eleven from Fargo battled State
to a scoreless tie last year and claim
to have a better team this year. So
far this season they have won every
game, defeating st. Thomas last Sat
urday 20 to 0. They will meet with
a tough scrap though here next Sat
urday, in spite of the fact that State
is weakened by the injuries her men
received last Saturday at Grand Forks
in the game with North Dakota uni
versity who came off victor by a
meager three-point margin. Thomp-
son, star end for State, received a
wrenched ankle, Simonson and Mckay
both had their shoulders badly bruised
The game last Saturday was a close
fight from first to last. North Dakota
scored three points on field goal in
the second period. State tied the
score in the third quarter when John.
son kicked the oval between the bars.
The score remained a tie until It
couple of minutes before the game
ended when North Dakota scored an
other field goal, making the final count
6 to 8 in favor of the Flickertails.
Fumbles at critical moments in the
game had their effect upon the score.
During the greater part Of the game
it was quite evident that State plainly
had the edge owe her opponents and
it was largely luck that saved them
from defeat. Mckay had the 6iscour-
aging experience in the first period OF
making a long run down the field for
a touchdown that the referee refused
TO count. Mckay intercepted a North

the college band gave an outdoor con

Of entertaining the audience and

FEW TAKE EXAMS

The smallest class Of applicants for
registration as pharmacists in the
past decade or more was examined
by the state board of pharmacy in

day. There will probably be no other
class until mex May, when twenty
students OF the State college school
OF pharmacy will take the examina-
ton. with a number of out-state an.
~plicants.
The only explanation offered for the
small October class is that applicants

ton and are taking advanced work
before being examined. The state
board and State Pharmaceutical as
cessation are both advocating a law
requiring at least two years of col
legiate work Of all applicants for reg
istration. The law now requires moth
ing beyond high school training, with
the usual experience. The school of
pharmacy at State college has capac.
ity classes this year and students
were turned away because they could
not be accommodated and the high
standards Of the school kept up.

Will FURNISH BACTERIA

The agronomy department of State
college is arranging to furnish lnocu-
lating bacteria for legumes to the
farmers Of South Dakota. This ser
vice is in response to numerous in
auiries received by the department for
inoculating material during the past
few years. 1t will be impossible to
furnish cultures for incubation this
fall, but an abundant supply of mate
rial will be ready for distribution for
the spring seeding of 1921. A sufii-
cient amount of i~noculating material
to treat one bushel of seed will be sent
out at actual cost, probably about so
cents.
The work will be carried or in con-
nection with the soil and crop survey
of South Dakota, and a sample of the
soil to be treated should be sent to
the soil survey laboratory to be ex-
amined before it is seeded to alfalfa.
The finding of a large number Of soils
in South Dakota which are deficient
in limestone and which give an acid
reaction makes it desirable that those
who are seeding alfalfa, clover, or red
clover should be sure that the soil
does not have an acid reaction, as
this interferes with the growth of
legume crops, advises Prof. j. G. Hut
ton, associate ~agronomist.
On receipt of a request for inocu
lating material for legumes, direc-
tions will be sen for sampling the soil
Farmers who expect to avail them
selves of the services Of the agronomy
department in this particular would
do well to file their requests early in
order that the samples may be taken
this fall and the material may be
ready for them at seeding time in the
spring. Send no money until instruct
ed to do so.

POLAND CHINA CLUB SALE

On Thursday, October Ia, a large
crowd was present at the sales pa
Wilton on the fair grounds at the Po-
land China Pig club sale. Consider
ing the money situation and the low
prices that farmers are getting Tor
farm products the pigs sold for a fair
price. Chas. Sayre had the honor of
selling the highest priced pig, a grand
o of Dunndale Pilot, grand champion
of the Iowa State fair. He was sold
for $775 to DR.. B. II. Sayre to head
his herd of fine Polands on his farm
southwest Of town. He is a splendid
pig. well worth the money and under
the conditions of a year ago, would
easily have brought $4,000. Elizabeth
erase sold the highest price gilt for
$3.50 to P. o. Kennard. The sale av-
erage was 1913.
The price CT the pigs is not all the
boys and girls have got out of their
club work this year. They won fifty
six ribbons, displayed on a banner in
the window of the Bank of Brookings,
the last week. These ribbons were
won at our county and state fairs this
year. Five members of this club won
trips to Chicago to the International
Live Stock show, valued at SIS each.
The boys and girls are very proud of
this honor and are anticipating a great
trip on November 20 to December 8.

to put over. The state finance com
mittee has designated the week of
October 25th to goth, inclusive, as
Good Roads Week in South Dakota.
During that week a drive will be con
Quoted in every community in the
state.
IN CltleS ana LOWnS Wnere tnere

that a committee of good roads boost
ers will handle the drive. Many com.
munities have already started the
drive, others will start before the
25th, but the week of October 25th
to 30th will be cleanup week and
during this week an effort will be
made to reach all who have not al

each community in the state is re-
Quested to secure its quota before
