Garden Notes

Sweet potato growers in this section
have had a pretty hard time of it with
plants the past two weeks. The fre
quent rains all spring would not per-
init blowing the ground unless it be
done when soil was too wet, and this
caused many clods, and when the best
time for planting came the rains stop
ed short and the extreme heat has
served with the lack of moisture to kill
many of the plants set out. The
writer set his entire acre nearly three
weeks ago, but lost many, as has every
grower heard from who has set ont q
goodly part of his crop. MANY growers
have waited for rains, and wisely it
seems now.
Our tomatoes for the late crop are
now ready for trsnsplsntipg and we
can furnish any number of plants at
so cents per 100.
We are this week sowing the seed
for our late cabbage crop, A little
early, but well grown plants, ready
when seasons are favorable. will 90 far
toward assuring good fall crop of
cabbage. We will transplant these to
rows last Of July or in August when
seasons are suitable.
There 10 time yet to SOW celery seed
II they are planted 10 a place damp and
somewhat protected from bot sun.
Barely cover seed with coil, keep
watered and covered wi boards till
seeds germinate. and transplant to rows
when large enough and seasons right.
We have had many inquiries as to
whether the Pinto beans We buy In
the stores for winter eating will grow
here. We planted several srows last
week In order to test them here. Those
we buy are grown In California. Will
tell you about them later.
Those expecting to plant Triumph
potatoes Of this spring growth for a
fall crop had better be thinking about
1t. We believe best success will come
from digging when vines are brown
cutting the small potatoes In halves and
planting right back the same day they
are dug. Cover deep. harrow OH In
ten days and few days later throw
two more burrows with turning pillow

they will come up soon. These work.

The New School Laws

The Falcon has just received copies
of the new school laws enacted by the
last legislature and presents few pro-
visions as fellows;
Effective July l. month from now.
the County Board which has controlled
all schools of the county except high
schools, will be abolished. the County
High School Board is abolished the
same date and the District Advisory
Boards abolished, This does entirely
away with all present local school ma
chinery, The new law then establishes
one county board to be called the Coun-
ty Board Of Education, composed OF
seven men elected by the county court
at its coming July term. one man for
one year, one for two years, one for
three years. ETC., the last fer seven
years, and each July thereafter one
member will be elected at the July
term Of court. No provision is made
for distributing these to the several
districts and they may be taken from
apy points 10 the county. This Board
will control both the elementary and
the high schools in very much the
same manner the present boards op-
crate. A vacancy in the membership
of the board will be filled at the next
meeting of the county court.
The school census is required to be
taken each year in May instead Of
In July as in the past.
The new law makes II q misdemean-
er for any school officer TO vote to ex-
pend more money than the income Of
the board for school purposes.
The new law makes different means
Of distributing the state school fund.
First It gives to esch county in the
state $1,000. provided each county
levies Q county school tax Of $500 for
every child Of school age In the county,
or levies q scoool tax Of 30 cents on the
sl00 Of valuation. There are 12,0O0
school 'hildren in Fsyette county. al
most. II the county court levies s. 90
per pupil it will make q county school
tax Of $50. 900. and the state tex and
high school tax added will give about
$l00, 900 school taxes, where we have
been getting but very little over half
that amount and the whole county
taxes this year are but $3.50. .0o0. II
gives something tosthink about before
the taxes are levied.
The new isw gives to the County
Superintendent from the state school
fund as mnch salary ss the county
pays. which is $3.50 now. sndswill'mske
his salary $3.50, and the new law re-
quires the Superintendent to give his
entire time to the duties of the Office.
II makes his term Of Office after JAM
.usry 1928 four years instead of two
years IS at present.
The new Law authorizes the issuance
Of q license to be County Superin-
tsndent to any graduate OF college or
university. where the old Law required
IN examination.
These provisions will work consider
able difference in the operation Of the
schools In great many ways after the
coming July.

The 1921 Fly

The fly stood on the garbage can,
Whence all but him had fed,
He rubbed bic legs and looked around
AS to himself he said.
"Tis very strange; last year my wife
And came by this way,
And found most delightful place,
A million eggs to lay.
"The garbsge can was full Of scraps
The people had thrown out;
And oil things that flies most like,
Were scattered round about.
but now the lid is kept tight,
And oil is clean and neat;
Some very cruel people must
Have moved 10 on this street. -
Sadly he spread his gsuzy wings,
While tears rolled down his
checks;
"If the town is clean like this. he
said

cash sales were scattered throughout

had failed TO establish their tax losses

close, but such selling was not in suf-
fcient volume to depress prices gener-
ally. While today's gains were not
large and were interspersed by some
declines in issues under special pres
sure. the underlying tone was I'M
mistakably strong. Government war
bonds were all frmer than yesterday.
and the Victory AZ broke new high
ground at 100.10 in heavy buying.

books had not been closed up to the
last hour of business, the loan was
reported as heavily over-subscribed be-
fore noon. These bonds are callable
anytime in whole or in part at s102h.
and the ready sale which they found
despite this feature was interpreted
as another evidence of the investment

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader-The state
cided against the submission to the
people at this time of the proposition
to call a constitutional con gention for
the purpose of framing a new constitu-
ton. Just what was the final argu.
ment with the committee against such
a submission at this time was not dis
closed by our correspondent but it
must be manifest to all that the pres
ent time of upheaval and radicalism
is no time to undertake such serious
work as the remaking of a constitu-
ton. When the people adopt a basic
law for the protection of the rights
of the minority, public sentiment
should be normal, which it certainly
is not now and which it may not be
in two years from now. II we were
to assemble a constitutional conven-
ton now, it is very doubtful whether
the ~level-headed and balanced ele-
ments would be in control. 1t is
easily possible that we might be jump
ing from the frying pan into the fire
and that the new constitution might
be far inferior to the old. The item
of expense is not to be lost sight Of.
though in our opinion that is less i'm
portant than the fact there now ex-
lists in every western state radical ele-
ments who want the state to do every
thing for them and who would be
heard from If a constitutional con-
vention were called. South Dakota
has gone quite far enough along the
path of state socialism for the pres
ent. 1t should not be made easier to
go further; hence we think the deci-
sion to put this matter IN fee for two
years or more was a wise me

BRAINS VS.. SALARY

Mr.. Pollard struck the keynote Mon
day night at the city hall when he
said it was brains that was needed 10
care for the city power plant n the
city utilities. To employ brains II
takes money, but it takes brains to
make money. Brains save money,
which is only another way of making
it. Mr.. Riley and Mr.. Pollard were
not so far apart as their little set-to
in the meeting might have indicated.
The only difference lay in arriving
at the same result. The formers con-
tention that only a private corpora
ton could furnish the brains and busi-
ness acumen for the successful opera
ton Of the city's utilities, In our opln-
ion was erroneous, but what he did
say about the city authorities not
doing it was absolutely pat. 1t has
not been done and is not being done.
Why? one speaker intimated that
they were afraid of the cars" While
all this may or may NJ be true the
TACT TtIIdlHS lhdI thc wy ~
sion can hire brains that will make
none for the city just as we'll as
a business man or a private corpora
ton. But brains come high, they're
high up and don't rest in the bosom
of the trousers, consequently il takes
none to get up where brains are
sold. This does not necessarily inn
ply increased expenses, for brains are
hired to keep expenses down to that
extent where, as a business PROPOSE
ton, public utilities can be made to
make as much money under city man
agement as under a private corpora
ton. An intelligent daily, weekly or
monthly report from brains does not
add to the onerous duties of a city
commissioner, rather it is an aid
to making his duties less burdensome
and at times leads to quick and intel
ligent action. The sooner the city gets
away from this old threadbare idea
that it doesn't pay to hire brains and
pay what it's worth, the sooner will
we reap the benefits and get some
where. What we need o is a
broader vision, we have lived too long
in temporary m~akeshifts. Bookings
is growing, Is bound to grow, how
much it will grow depends upon its
citizens and business men.

all the laws of the rest of the world

Mentally, we Americans are still wan
dering in the wilderness, little realiz-
ing that the qualities of good govern
ment are not derived from laws but
from ourselves. There are not statutes
that compel a man to be v~irtuous. to
be honest. to be temperate or to be
Industrious. But no government has
ever been good or successful whose
citizens in the main did not recognize
and practice these virtues.
In the last six years the world had
lessons in government in all phases
