STATE COLLEGE EXPERT CLASS
IFIES MINNEHAHA DELLS AS
WORTHY OF ATTENTION.

Sioux Falls. April 5.-South Da-
kota beauty spots, resting places,
camping sites, small parks, or any
natural areas worth preserving, are
now being lister by DR.. <. j. Petry,
head of the botany department at
State college and chairman of the
South Dakota committee of the Eco
logical Society of America whose
duty it shall be to present to that
society for publication descriptions
of areas suitable for reservation.
DR.. Petry is at present interested
only in charting. these areas and re-
quests those who have such spots in
mind to send him the following
facts: Local name of the place, its
extent in areas, shape and direction;
it's location as TO township and coun+
ty; and the reason why it will make
good park, camping ground, hunt
ing or fishing ground or resting
place.
South Dakota has three caves
and three national forests which

DIR. Petry in presenting this matter

are mostly in the Black Hills region
where the need is less felt. perhaps.
or less urgent. than I'm the eastern
part of the state.

by competent people to be fit and
desirable for reservation; Bad Lands

ton reservation, yellow banks near
Milbank, Waubay lake region, Lake

county, and the dells il. Minnehaha
and Moody counties. But there mpst
be many other little beauty spots
within easy reach of Sundays aft
ernoon's drive by auto. Iowa has 25
natural parks and $50 areas under
consideration for reservation.
Such parks and reservations are
worth more than they cost in the
agricultural problems which can be
solved in relation to plant and animal
diseases. With proper protection
these areas yield large returns in
recreation and some of the smaller
water areas may yield more cash
than the surrounding land"

MAKES RULING
TAX QUESTION
IN CERTAIN CASES INHERITANCE
TAXES NEED NOT BE PAID
ON ESTATES OF DECEASED.

Pierre, April 5.-The inheritance
tax law provides that where property
is transferred in contemplation Oh
death it comes within the provisions
of the law, and is taxable.
The state ia xcommission attempt
ed to collect the inheritance tax on
the estate of Frank Keuter, of Min
county, where each of six
children received deeds for quarter
section of land short time before
death of the father.
This was contested on the ground
that the children had earned the
tracts; that the father had not been
able to do any physical labor for
years, and when he found himself
unable to work, he entered into an
agreement with the children that If
they would stay and assist in the
farm work he would manage the
business and secure quarter section
for each of the children.
The agreement was carried out, all
working to the common end. and
short time before his death enough
land had been accumulated by com
mon effort to carry out the agree
ment.
The transfers were then made, ane
while the father lived only a shor1
time after this was carried out hi'
i'll health for years is held to be evi
dence that the transfers were not II
contemplation of death, but In com
pliance with the agreement. and tn
land does not come under the inheri
tance tax provisions of the law.
