this law. The state sheriff is an ap-
pOintee of the governor. The anti
saloon league and the church organi-
cations are making strenuous effort
to have the state sheriff retained.
This editor does not see the necessity
Of employing q special officer to en-
force a special law. We do not be-
lieve that it is more important to
enforce the law against the sale and
manufacture of intoxicating liquors
than it is to enforce the law against
cattle rustling, burglary, murder or
any other crime. We can see no
special need of q state sheriff. But
this is matter that each voter should
decide for himself. Don't let some
one else tell you what to do. A vote
"yes" would do away with the state
sheriff, while a vote "no" would leave
the law as it now is.
Initiated Measure No. 3 would do
away with what is now known as the
Sunday blue law. There is on our
statute books a law which prohibits
Sunday ball games, moving picture
shows---in fact, most every kind of
exhibition or amusement where there
is an admission charge. If the initi-
ated measure No. 3 is approved by
the people it would do away with the
present law The present law is
not now enforced to the letter, but
the chances are that if the people by
their votes endorse the present blue
laws that it will encourage the en-
forcement officers to draw the lines
little tighter and make an effort to

TN 1S47 play by an American author was
produced in New York theatre. 1t was the
custom then, as long since, for Americans
themselves to believe that that which repre-
sented purest culture must come from over
seas.
Before the curtain rose on this new play the
leading actor stepped before the footghts and
read poem-prologue which scoffed at the idea
that an American could write a drama, and
then rebuked the sneer by emphaticaly declar-
ing that an American can. The audience
greeted the patriotic plea and the play with
cheers.
Since that day many Americans have written
many great plays. An American culture has
expressed itself as we'll in the field of fiction,
poetry and philosophy; in art, music and in
science
Culture is just as much crop as corn. 1t is
the refinement of the product Of the cultivated
field. Growing great crops, producing great
bulk, we have refined our output into the best
makes of food and clothes the world has ever
known. From the earth we dig both gold and
iron ore, and through the refining processes
we produce the delicately intricate watch.
The genius that can dig out the hillside and
convert it into a watch can find the melody Of
the brook in the string of the violin.
An American pianist who had acquired inter-
national note went abroad to play. With the
skill of 1922 she had the frail faith OF lS47 a-i
had to go abroad to discover America.

IoWAN GETS HIS EYES OPENED

Albert T. Stossel Of Ottumwa, Iowa,
who has been a Mellette county land
owner for several years, but who made
his first visit to our county last
month, under date of October q,
writes the editor as follows: "We
wish TO thank you for the cordial well
come we received from you on the
recent very short visit we made to
rour Office when we were visiting
Frank lIakl, recently. We were fav-
orably impressed with the quality of
The soil in your territory and it seems
TO be better th0n the best that we
have IN this territory Of high grade
iowa land, and as / see it, the only
thing that is delaying prosperity in
that locality is transportation. The
products that Frank Hakl raised this
year are as fine specimens as we have
ever seen produced on our highly fer
tili2cd and intensely cultivated truck
gardens right here.
1--WE had very hard trip home,
rs YOU know we left there in the rain
YOU had and it was general all the
way down. We do not quite under
stand your ferry situation at the
Missouri river We crossed at Fort
RandaIl-thcre were two cars pulled
on the ferry at twelve O'Clock and
the man that was running it would
not take us across. He waited until
he cot a full load both ways, which
was five o'clock in the evening, SO
Nou see we lost five hours sitting
there on the river bank with nothing
TO eat and no place for shelter. We
were Just wondering if this were a
usual occurrence and if so we would
take it into consideration on our next
trip, rs we could well afford to drive
a long way around rather than be
laid up waiting for a ferry to get
full load, as in case there was very
little travel one might stay there all
1av, or even longer.
"We were more than pleased with
our property in your community, and
the only thing we can see the country
needs is transportation and a little
real help to IL peon'" who are pio-
necring that country. We are already
planning to return to see you next
year"

FARM BUREAU NEWS NOTES
By E. G. Rudolph, County Agent
Alfalfa Seed Situation

This year there will be a surplus Of
alfalfa seed forsale in Mellette county
Western Sout1 Dakota is the only Sec
ton where the alfalfa seed crop has
been normal and the outlook for sell
ing the seed this year is very good.
The Western South Dakota Seed
Growers Association, with headquart-
ors at Rapid City, S. D., which is
strictly farmers cooperative non
profit marketing organization, sold
last year over a half million pounds
alfalfa seed at cost of 21s cents
per pound. Last year conditions were
very different in that every section
+ the country had large crop Of al
alta seed. This organization bears
the expense Of getting the seed from
the railroad point to the exchange and
0lso expects to be able to advance 15c
per pound on common alfalfa seed.
After the seed arrives at the exchange
t is all cleaned and graded over a
raTitv min. The price per pound is
iven 10 Grade A and Grade B. The
7crccnings, if desired, will be returned
70 the farmer. A marketing con-
tract must be signed by each member
and Q membership fee Of $1,000 must
1e paid, for which the member will re-
Give ten per cent interest. We have
= copy Of the contract and will be
rlad to let anyone see it who will
call at the county agents Office.
In recent letters from eastern seed
houses they quote as prices they ara
raying, common alfalfa seed, 800 to
$500 a bushel; Grimm, $500 per
5ushel; Cossack, $4,000 per bushel;
sweet clover. $4.00 per bushel. These
1liccs arc after the dockage has been
taken off, and the seed must be up to
+ certain grade.

the trend OF recent state activities are
entirely too much along socialistic
lines for the good of the state, and
we believe that now is a good time to
begin calling halt. The people of
this particular section of the state
would not gain any direct benefit
from the erection of this plant at
Mobridge for years to come, no more
than the state owned coal mine is
helping US in any way to get our fuel
one cent cheaper These are matters
hat should be developed by private
capital, according to our way of
thinking. Private capital would not
undertake the proposition unless there
was reason to believe that the plant
would be self supporting and yield
interest on the investment. If the
plant is built by the state and does
not pay out the taxpayers Of the state
will have to put up the difference and
thus increase their already heavy load
# taxation. 1t has been argued that
the c. M. & st. p. railway is back of
his project in hopes of getting cheap
power with which to electrify their
coast line through this state. We
don't blame the railroad people in
trying to get this cheap power. But
we would counsel our readers to think
twice before they cast their vote on
this measure.
Initiated Measure No. 2, if adopted,
would abolish the Office of state sheriff
