Defendants demurrer and motion to eX- punge in the suit of Charles R. Butts, share holders agent, ct al, vs John T. King ct al of Bridgeport has been overruled by Judge c. L. Avery of the superior court and the motion to expunge denied.

FEED TOUR APPLE

FEED TOUR APPLE
 TREES IS ADVICE
 Feed your apple trees" is slogan adopted by one county horticultural agent. A supply of plant food early this spring will produce larger apples this fall and will also lay down bigger set of flower buds to insure next years crop. The treatment of an orchard one year oft en has it's greatest production.
 He advocates cultivation as one Of the best and most economical ways of handling the bearing apple orchard, when combined with fertilizer or manure un- der the trees. If this method is adopted the blowing of the strips between the rows should be begun now and the strips should be narrowed every ten doys un- til midsummer at which time they should be sown to a clover cover crop. One should not blow too close to the trees but keep four or five feet from each side of the tree, leaving the trees standing in strips of grass to 10 feet wide.
 Under the trees fertilizer or manure should be applied If nitrate of soda or ammonium suIphate Is used 1t should be broadcasted evenly in about week from the present time which will be ap- proxmately 8 fortnight before the blos- soms open, over a circle covering the en- tire surface under the trees and extending out two or three feet beyond the spread of the branches Rain will wash this into the soil. If manure Is available use about 400 pounds of stable manure or 50 pounds of hen manure to each large tree. In either case, two or three times during the season the grass growing in the strips should be moved and left on the ground. Tn the plowed area cultiva- tion is all that Is necessary, as the roots there are not large enough to take gp much nourlshment from the soil.
 This method Of strip cultivation com bined with fertilizer or manure was very thoroughly tried out in several demon stration orchards last year and produced excellent results It will probably he used much more generally this season by or ehardists who saw its success last year The early application of fertAlz- CT will help make the little apple stick on the tree. Don't be afraid to feed your apple trees They need food just as much as do hsIman beings and the successful orchardist is one who supp1ies them what they need when they need it.

TIME TO PRESERVE EGGS

IN WATERGLASS
 The best time to put down eggs iu wat erglass is now here. Eggs have been put down. by hornemakers for many years, but there is no method yet discovered better than waterglass method which should be employed in April and May while eggs are plentiful and cheap.
 WharglE 8 Fs sil1,t tis of soda and it's effect is to coat over the egg shell and fill the pores so that the egg is hermetle- ally sealed and immune from deteriora- tion. If eggs Of the right quality are put down according to directions they will be practically as good as fresh eggs when removed a year later. It is not well to keep them in waterglass more than year, but, they can be used for most pur- poses at any time during the year and will mean a decided saving in the house. hold budget.
 The method is a simple one. Eggs should be secured only from a reliable producer and should never be more than five days old. It is better if they are less than 24 hours old, but this is some times impracticable. Only clean eggs should be used. Washing eggs before placing them in watergiass is not good practice, because the washing takes away film from the outside of the egg and makes it more porus and. liable to dete- rioration. Infertle eggs are better than fertile eggs. for preserving. If one uses the commercial waterg1ass, which may be bought at any drug store, three quar- ters of quart of waterglass should be mixed with nine quarts of pure water. Water that has been boiled and then cooled is. preferable. The mixture should be stirred until the ingredients are thor oughly mixed. A watergIass in powder form has been put on the market. This is satisfactory for use if directions are followed.

SCOUTS WILL CELEBRATE

The Boy Scouts of America is the
United States. Larger than the Army
and Navy combined. This little
known fact will add interest to the
announcement that Troop Two of the
~Brookings Boy Scouts will observe
their anniversary on Sunday, Febru-
AIRY 5, at the Presbyterian church.
The Boy Scouts of America was in
corporated twelve years ago, Febru.
AIRY s, 1910 and chartered by Cong
ress on June Is, 1916.
More than two million boys have
been committed to the following obi
cation during the last twelve years:
On my honor will Go my best to do
my duty to God and my country and
to obey the Scout law, to help other
people at all times, to keep myself
physically strong, mentally awake,
and morally straight"
The Scout law has twelve sections
which set forth the requirements of
a good scout to be trustworthy, loyal,
helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave,
clean and reverent. A scout Is all
of these and besides he must do all
least one good turn to somebody
every day, he must not take pay for
being helpful or courteous. He may
work for pay but must not receive
tips for courtesies. He keeps clean
in mind and body, stands for clean
speech, clean sport. clean habits and
travels with a clean crowd.
Prof. p. j. Scarbro is the scout
master for Troop 2 Of Brookings,
which is one of the leading boy scout
organizations of the state. Their
drum and bugle corps is in demand
every year at the South Dakota state
fair and at the Sioux City Interstate
fair. The Rev. J. A. G. Waits will de-
liver the anniversary sermon for the
scouts next Sunday morning.

STATE 0UTP[AYS
CREIGHTON QU|NT
UP TO LAST AND THEN
LOSE 20 TO 26
PLAY UNIVERSITY HERE NEXT THURSDAY
Games at Omaha Placed State College
In Class With Strongest
In The v. S.

The State college basketball team
stepped into place as n OF the
strongest teams in the United States
last Friday and Saturday at Omaha
when they outplayed the Creighton
college team in two games, losing a
narrow margins. Creighton has de
feated such teams as Iowa, Notre
Dame, and bears a reputation Of hav-
ing Of the most formidable Quintettes
in the country. State was further
handicapped in playing them on their
home floor and all the breaks in the
luck went TO the Catholics.
In the first game which vas played
Friday evening, Coach Vests under
studies led the Creighton boys a mer-
ry chase, piling up a comfortable lead
an dthe game looked like a sure vic
tory for good old State. With four
minutes left to play, State was lead
ing "a to 10. The Catholics then
took a squirt and by fast and furious
playing cut down the lead to one
point, with only a minute to play.
In that one minute the game was de-
cided, and the game ended &c to 20
in favor of Creighton. In the second
game Creighton ran up a huge lead
on State in the first half which the
Jackrabbits were unable to overcome
and the game ended "a to 25 in favor
of Creighton. C~reightOn's greatest
strength was in their offense and Da-
kota's proves lay in her defense, but
the two teams were evenly matched
and the two games were acknowl-
edged to be two Of the fastest con-
tests ever seen on the Omaha floor.
The chief interest is now centered
on the contest next Thursday with the
University of South Dakota at the
armory floor. The strength of the
Coyotes this year is practically the
same as it was last year and local
fans are not worried over the out
come. The Coyotes defeated Yankton
last week in a fast game in which
Collins starred. Collins is a new ad-
dition to the university team and the
Yankton game was his first appear
ance this season. The university will
bend every to win this game and
the ~Jackrabbits will be well pre-
pared to receive them.

ROADS BLOCKED
BY SNOWST0RM
BROokINGS Is DIGGING FROM IN
UNDER DEEP SNOW
THIS MORNING
HEAVIEST SNOWFALL IN MANY YEARS
Trains Last Night Were AnnulIed;
Schedule To Be Resumed
BY Tonight

What is generally stated to be the
heaviest snowstorm in twenty years
or more, visited Brookings and the
whole state of South Dakota this
week and has blockaded railroads and
highways practically isolating the
city from the outside world. The
two trains last night were annulled,
the railroad officials deciding that it
would be of no use for them to start
out. Rotary snow plows were sent
out this morning from the east to
break the way for the morning pass
enger from Minneapolis which ar
rived at noon.
A heavy snowfall took place here
on Tuesday following the big storm
in the east which paralyzed traffic in
Washington, ID. c., and other eastern
cities. extending far south into Caro-
lima. The snow was moist and fell
in large flakes. The air was warm
and 1T times Tuesday night 1t seemed
that the snow would turn into rain.
On Wednesday morning the weather

wind arose with a precipitation of
fine snow. The snow already on the
ground was too sticky to drift, other
wise it might have been more un-
pleasant. The snow and the wind
continued all day Wednesday keeping
everyone indoors and Main street was
deserted and all outdoor traffic at a
standstill. The rural mail carriers
made a start but were obliged to give
it up. The morning passenger from
the west struggled into town late in
the afternoon. Only a few of the
most venturesome farmers managed
to get into town, the roads being
drifted so deep there was danger of
the horses laundering.
The storm was general over the en-
tire northwest centering in northern
Iowa and northeastern South Dakota.
1t was a duplicate of the big storm

before, and came coIncident with
