Whatever the reason for the disap-
pearance of singing in the home, be
it lack of time, fancied lack Of ability,
the prevalence of the record or the
family exodus to the movie" every
evening, the songless condition of the
modern household is a national e
ace and should be remedied without
delay if we want to do what we can
to bring back to the world some OF
the old grace and charm and peace OF
the days that are gone.
II every mother and father would
resolve to spend ten minutes a day

CROP ROTATION
DISEASE REMEDY
STATE COLLEGE EXPERT TELLS
METHOD RIDDING FIELDS OF
CORN ROOT ROT.

Brookings, Feb. 4.-Were the at
tack of the organism known as Glib
berella saubinettii, which causes
corn root rot, confined to corn alone
its results would be serious enough,
says DR.. Arthur T. Evans, associate
professor of agronomy at State col
lege, who has made special study
of root rot and is considered an au-
thority on this disease.
1t is now known. however, that
this one organism not only attacks
corn but also attacks wheat, oats,
rye and barley. Its ravages are best
known through the Dakota and Min
nesota by the attacks it has made In
recent years on wheat. During the
past summer the loss due to its at
tacks on Marquis wheat alone was
very considerable.
To most farmers it is known fa-
miliarly as wheat blight; TO scien-
lists it is known as wheat scab. 1t
is hoped that it may become more
widely known under the name of
wheat scab, as blight has been ap-
piled to several different ailments In
wheat. Wheat, rye. and barley are
severely attacked by this fungus.
Oats, however, are much less sus-
ceptible to the disease so that the
following of corn with this crop al
lows one year for the organism to
die out in the ground. This alleviatss
the danger to a wheat crop after
oats-
Likewise, II wheat is followed by
clover and then corn, the same will
hold true. Where corn root rot or
wheat scab is abundant the ground
is well filled with rotted roots. maxi
ing it very good bed in which the
disease will live over and remain to
attack the following crop, if correct
rotation measures are not practiced.

SOUTH DAKOTA
LEGISLATURE
CENSORSHIP OF MOVIES HAS A
INNING-AGRICULTURAL
MEASURES.

Pierre, Feb. 4.-Moving picture
censorship will come on the floor for
its first discussion today. 1t will
be in relation to resolution intro
duced by Representative Bailey in
the house yesterday IL declares
that whereas state censorship inn
poses a burden on local exhibitors
and people instead of reaching the
source, congress should be asked to
regulate films subject to interstate
commerce. Success of this resolu-
ton may be taken as an indicator
of the feeling of the house on state
censorship proposals.
Fight on agricultural measures
was promised in the house. The
agriculture committee yesterday re-
turned adverse report on the Swan
son resolution memOrializing con-
gress TO enact a price index system
for keeping grain prices up TO cost.
A resolution has been received from
the North Dakota legislature asked
the South Dakota legislature to join
in memorialiZing congress for fed
eral aid to farmers of this region in
obtaining seed corn and wheat and
potatoes next spring. Both are up
for consideration today, with a warm
fight promised.
Bakers are here in force from all
over the state. Whether they shall
be required to stamp weight on each
loaf of bread is agitating them. The
DanfGrth bill, making this require
ment, providing for wrapping of
bread for resale, and other sanitary
regulations is before food and drug
regulations is before food and drug
committees and they are opposed.
The house has thought better of
making robbery of houses felony
with penalty of life Imprisonment.
Tuesday afternoon a bill providing
this penalty for bank robbery passed
the house with amendment to include
private homes and business place on
the ground that what is good to pro-
tect banks is good to protect every
body Yesterday the whole matter
was reconsidered and the amend
ment lost Then opponents urged
il would be better TO amend present
criminal laws increasing penalties
than 1t would to pass separate legis-
lation which might raise the ques-
tion of conflicting statutes. She bill
went over until today with defeat
promised by opponents.
The new bill carrying changes in
the workmen's compensation laws of
the state has been under considera-
ton by the labor committees of the
two houses. Members say that
among other provisions it is very
likely to contain is one changing
compensation of an injured employe
from a flat rate to one based on the
size of the family dependent on him
ranging probably from $40 to s25
week.
The proposition of an assessment
of real property only once in five
years is being discussed by Senator
Erskine of Meade county. He has
had bill prepared carrying out thai
idea. 1t would provide that rea
property should be assessed once In
five years instead of annually; thai
new structures and property destroy.
