Getting Ready for
Little International

Increased entries in all classes of
livestock and grains and many new
exhibits by the various agricultural
departments Of the college will be fea-
lures Of the Little International live
stock, grain and poultry show to be
held at State college February Is.
The veterinary department, under
the direction Of DR.. C. c.. Lipp, will
have a large and instructive exhibit.
Animals used for experimental pur-
poses in diagnosing diseases will be
shown, also a large display of LESSONS
from tuberculOus animals and tuber-
Guile bacille under the microscope. An
illustrated lecture -On Sanitation and
It's Relation to Disease will be an
other feature OF the veterinary exhibit.
Practically all of the college live
stock will be exhibited. The basis for
awards on livestock exhibits will be
the amount Of work and results OBJ
tanned in fitting the animal, not on the
merits OF the animal. Poultry from the
college flock, which ranks among the
best in the state, and the best of grains
from all sections of the state will help
make this Little International a great
success. Men prominent in the agri-
cultural life Of the state and the nation
will appear on the Little International
program.

All Records Broken
by Christmas Mail

The volume of Christmas mail han
died this season in the Brookings post
office broke all records. Never be-
fore in the history of the local office
has the quantity of Christmas pack
ages and letter mail approached the
amount handled this year. In spite of
the increased amount, the local office
was able to keep up with the rush and
every package was delivered by Christ
mas night.
The scene in the post office on
Christmas morning was a sight to be
remembered. Packages were piled
high in such quantity that to TIE nov
ice it would seem a weeks TASK to get
them all delivered. Postmaster Breed
states that there was fully one-third
more this year than last year. With
the aid Of trucks and two extra help
ers everything was cleaned up before
the day ended. This also established
a record for speed and efficiency for
handling mail in the local office.
This large increase in the amount
Of mail handled is in a measure a
positive indication Of the return OF
better times and prosperity. 1t bears
out the statements that the merchants
enjoyed an extremely large holiday
trade, far in excess of all predictions,

Win
Hetland Cagers
Brookings High Defeats Boys
from Hetland ID to 10,
but Girls Overwhelmed
20 to S.

Brookings high scored another vic
tory on its home floor Friday evening
when the boys staged a comeback in
he last half and defeated Hetland
high school IA to 10 in a bitterly fought
game. The girls game played the
same evening resulted in a big victory
for Hetland, 20 to 5.
The story of the boys game was
similar to the other m played by
Brookings this year, in that the locals
were unable to get under way in the
first half and fell behind only TO come
back in the last half and turn defeat
into victory. Very little scoring was
done in the first period with Hetland
showing up strongest on the floor. The
half ended 7 to 6 in favor o. the Wis
itors.
Brookings opened their attack in the
second half and broke through the
strong defense Of the visitors for eight
points while Hetland was able to gar
ner but three points. Carlisle led the
scoring for Brookings gathering a total
of 8 points during the game. Huchen.
found the hoop for two field goals
and two free throws which made the
Bookings total. Kuhn was the star
of the Hetland team and the biggest
point getter Of the game. He scored
ali but one Of the points gained by
the visitors. Frank WEIGH of State
college refereed both games.
The seasons schedule begins in
earnest after the opening Of the new
year. On January 1 the Lake Preston
boys and girls teams will play here.
Games with Watertown, Clear Lake,

airy. With the experience and train
ing that the boys are now gaining
without a defeat so far, there Is good
prospect of going through the season
undefeated.

South Dakota Soil
Rich in Plant Food

South Dakota soil is rich in plant
food for growing crops, according to
the tests made on 25S,24O acres OF land
surveyed and tested under the direc.
ton of Professor j. G. Hutton Of the
agronomy department at State college.
Since 1919 complete surveys have been
made in Beadle, McCook, Union and
Grant counties and $50 square miles
OF eastern Lyman, eastern Jones and
southern Stanley counties also have
been tested.
Every acre Of this land has been ex.
amined, tests made and maps drawn
to show various soil classification.
This work has been accomplished
through the state soil survey, in
charge of Professor Hutton, cooperat-
ing with the bureau of soils of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.
South Dakota soils were examined
to a depth Of 40 inches by making
a large number Of borings. Thus the
classification was not only based on
surface soil but also upon the char
acter Of the subsoils. In the Grant
county are % different types of soils
were classified and mapped out, while
west Of the river ia the land surveyed
nine types of soil were found.
After the mapping was completed
by the soil men, a large number of
samples were sent to the South Da-
kota soil survey laboratory at Brook
ings, where complete tests Of the soil
are being made. The analysis will
show the amount of plant food in each
kind of soil, and the amount of alkali
and humus present also will be de
termined.
This test, taken in the various coun-
ties, showed that South Dakota soils
are relatively well supplied with plant
food, according to Prof. Hutton, but the
analysis Of cropped soils as compared
with adjoining native prairie soils
showed that the plant food supply is
being exhausted. In one county alone
eight important soil types showed that
the surface soil of cultivated fields
contained on an average 20 per cent
less nitrogen than the prairie soils.
This is considered an important fact
because more nitrogen is removed in
crop than any other element taken
from the soil and the amount found
shows to some extent the productivity
of the land, Prof. Hutton declared.
Investigation at the Bookings lab
oratory has shown that phosphorus
applied to the soil has increased the
yield 80 per cen as an average for all
crops, the professor said. The phos-
phorus content of the soil surveyed
compared favorably with the farm
trials at Brookings.
The counties already surveyed We're
chosen because they represent soil
and climate areas in the state; cOun-
ties to be surveyed in the future will
be chosen on the same basis. U!ti-

Directory Solicitor
Runs Afoult the Law

f. r. Smith conceived a new idea
to pluck the business men of the towns
in this section Of the state and solicit
ed all of the merchants in Is towns
for advertisements in a combination
telephone and business directory UNI
der a promise to publish 5000 of these
directories and spread them ove the
ordered but 1,600 and Of these he took
out but $50. He was arrested in Wa
tertown upon complaint Of the Brook
ings print shop who printed the direc-
tories and brought to this city by
Sheriff John Nolan to answer the
charge of obtaining property under
false pretenses.
The directory which Smith prepared
included all of the business firms of
Arlington, Brookings, Bruce, Bryant,
Castlewood, Clark, Clear Lake, Estel-
line, Hayti, Lake Norden, Lake Pres
ton, Milbank, Vienna, Volga, Waubay,
Webster and Willow Lakes. In each
town he secured a number of adver-
ilociilcIllS liOIi JOSdi IltlCudllIS W dp
pear in the book. In Watertown alone
he secured SO advertisements. 1t can
be said that the Bookings merchants
we're not SO gullible but quite a num-
Der were secured here.
According to the Watertown Public
Opinion, the investigation leading to
the arrest was started when a Water
town merchant to whom Mr.. Smith
presented a bill for collection, called
"A. r. English of the Public-Opinion
job department to ask if the 5000
copies had been distributed, having
been informed by the solicitor that
the Participation was publishing the
books. Nothing was known Of the dir
ectory there so Mr.. English called up
the local printing houses to find out if
it was being printed in Brookings.
The local printing firm having the
job, Immediately got the wires hot
and the Watertown police made the
arrest and held him until Sheriff John
Nolan arrived and brought him to
BroOkings for a hearing.

Guard Child's Health
During Holiday Season

School authorities often point to
the fact" says Lucy Cordiner, special
list in nutrition, University Of Minneso.
ia, who was a speaker at the extension
conference in BrOOkings last week,
that after the Christmas holidays,
children re-enter school with colds and
with generally lowered vitality; conse
quently there is an increased number
of absences due to sickness.
This condition is ~preycntible. Your
children should not be the victims of
their pleasures and will not be if their
daily program is supervised by you.
This is a time to guard especially
against Irregularities. Regulate their
sleeping hours; plan daily for outdoor
play and exercise; plan daily for an
indoor quiet hous. Prevent eating ex-
cept at meals.
Sugar and candy are among our
most stimulating foods. When taken
alone, health authorities say they irri-
tate the delicate membranes lining the
throat and digestive tract; consequent
ly they colds instead Of protect
ing against them.
AT the same time, candies are ON
ductive to sociability, a most desirable
asset at meal time. Children like them
and are satisfied when they have them.
For all these reasons, and because we
are human, do not taboo candy, but
give it at meal time as a substitute
for other made desserts and pastries.
1t will save you work, give joy, and
protect health when so given"

Joint CONFERENCE
ON DISTRICT BILL
Senate and House Hold
First Meeting on Situa-
ton Generally.

The conferees of the Senate and
House on the District appropriation
bill held their first meeting today,
going over the situation generally.
The conferees discussed the Jones
rider, which strikes from the bill the
60-40 plan Of appropriation inserted
by the House, and provides that here
after the revenues of the District
shall be expended and from the fed =.
eral Treasury there shall be taken
whatever sum is necessary to COM
plete the remainder of the appropria-
tions made by Congress. The Jones
rider fixes the tax rate at $t.75 for
the present.
After the conference it was said
that the discussion had been entire
ly amicable," but that no action had
been taken. The effect of the Jones
rider was discussed. and the propo-
nentS explained in some detail their
idea of its operation.
The conferees, it was said. did not
take up any items of the bill for ac-
tion. Some time was given, however,
to consideration Of the public school
situation and the needs Of schools.
Senate conferees are particularly
anxious to have the school items in
bill.
When the conferees adjourned it
was with the understanding that they
would meet again Tuesday morning.
All of the conferees were present at
today's meeting.
