A PUBLIC BENEFIT

When the automobile first came in
to use II was vehicle of pleasure for
the rich. Now it is one of necessity,
IN universal use, and saving time that
IS worth many times its value. 1t is
commercialized vehicle Of trans
portation, and is the direct cause Of
a wave of road building that has
swept the country from one end to
the other.
Ask the hundreds of thousands Of
farmers why they own their own cars.
They will tell you that the horse and
buggy is too slow-that they lose too
much time. And it is so in every
other sphere of life.
Before the advent of the automobile
our country roads were disgrace to
the nation. Today they are thous-
and percent better, and additional i'm
provements are constantly being
added. The automobile has done it
and the automobile and truck will
continue to be power behind road I'M
provcmcnt until we reach the pinnacle
of perfection in his line. Everybody
profits from the automobile and the
good roads it brings-the farmer haul
ing his crops to market, children
going to the community school, the
merchant who sells more goods because
people 90 to town oftener, the tour
ist who is out seeing the country, in
fact everyone who uses public high
way in any manner.
And yet there is one fly in the oint-
ment, and he is a big one, bad one
and dangerous one. That fly is the
speed maniac who is unable to control
his empty brains the man who wants
the whole road while others get off
into the ditch--or worse Swat the
fly and all will be well.

DANISH FARMERS WANT
S. D. ALFALFA SEED

Brookings, S. D.-South Dakota
grown genuine Grimm alfalfa seed is
now demanding the attention of new
seed buying markets. S. Sorensen,
agricultural adviser to the Danish
government, attached to the Danish
legation at Washington, has Just re-
Gently visited South Dakota and thor
oughly investigated South Dakota
grown Grimm seed. The Danish
farmers want a better alfalfa and
are desirous of securing South Dakota
grown Grimln seed to demonstrate
what it will do under their condi-
tions.
After a conference with agrono-
mists at the South Dakota State col
lege, Mr. Sorensen was so we'll salts
fled with the superior qualities of
South Dakotaerown alfalfa seed that
he Is having representative lot of
seed sent to Denmark for thorough
trials OF particular interest to Mr..
Sorensen was the method employed by
the alfalfa seed growers Of this state
TO guarantee the genuineness of their
Grimm alfalfa seed. A careful eX-
planation Of the alfalfa field registra-
ton plan as followed by the South
Dakota Experiment association and
the South Dakota Grimm Growers as
sociation was sufficient to convince
Mr.. Sorensen that the alfalfa seed
produced in South Dakota on regis,
tered fields could be purchased with
every assurance that it is genuine
Grimm.
The Western South Dakota Alfalfa
Growers association. with headquar-
ters at Rrpid City, was of special in,
crest TO Mr. Sorcnsen as a means of
DEALING directly with the seed growers

association is fully equipped to sup
ply the highest quality of genuine
South Dakota grown alfalfa seed, a
point on which Mr.. Sorensen wished
to be assured. so that he could be GER
tain Of having future orders prompt
ly filled.
1t is Mr. Sorensen' S duty to keep in
touch with the agricultural situation
in this county and in Canada and re-
port developments to his government.
This is his first visit to South Dako,
ia, and he has been very much inter
ested in looking over conditions in
the state.

Weekly Service Hints Furnished by
State College Specialists
Brookin9s
Keeping Vegetables and Fruits
BY Mary Ann Gray

Keeping Vegetables ana Fruits
The department OF agriculture Of
ters these suggestions to housewives
for keeping vegetables and fruits for
winter use:
Potatoes should be placed in a cool, i,
dry and dark bin and sprouts should
not be allowed to grow. Such roots
as tulnips, carrots and parsnips re-
main plump and fresh if placed in
earth or sand filled boxes on the Gel
lar floor. Sweet potatoes may be
kept until January if cleaned, dried
and packed in chaff so they will not
touch each other.
Pumpkins and squash must be thor.
oughly ripe and mature to keep well.
They should be dried off from time
to time with cloth and kept, not on
the cellar floor, but on shelf, and
we'll separated from each other. Cab.
bages, kept in barrels and packed
with roots uppermost, will remain
fresh a long time. Celery should not
be trimmed or washed, but packed
with head up in long, deep boxes,
which should then be filled with dry
earth.
Tomatoes may be kept until Janu-
aly, if gathered just before the frost,
wiped dry, and placed on straw COW
cred racks in the cellar. They should
be firm and well grown, not yet be,
ginning to turn. AS they ripen they
must be taken out for table use, and
any soft ones removed.
Apples for autumn use may be
stored III barrels, but if they are to
be kept until late winter or spring,
they must be of long keeping vari.
ETY. and without blemish. Wipe them
dry, place with little crowding on
cellar shelves: a further precaution is
to wrap them in soft paper. Pears
also keep in this way for a limited
time. Lemons and lines NAV be kept
in brine. or packed in salt;' both
lemons and oranges will keep well in
a cold but not freezing temperature.
Cranberries should be carefully picked
over and all soft berries removed.
Place in crock. cover with fresh water
and keep weighted. Change the water
once each month
The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1923-09-28

The editor of the Pioneer has had
his own troubles of late. We began
filling our cellar with potatoes and
other vegetables fer winter use, and
last week we noticed that We had
thieves visiting our cellar most every
night We realized that unless some
thing was done that when winter
came on we would have no stores in
our cellar, so we purchased a steel
trap and set it where we thought
we would be most likely to catch the
thief. 1t was couple of days before
we got any results and last Friday
we trapped the first thief and our
catch proved to be mink. We had
given rats the credit for the depreda-
tons, but we had real surprise when
we found we had caught mink. The
next day We caught another in the
trap, but this time it was a rat, and
n GOOD sized one at that. We are still
trapping and hope to get the cellar
cleared OF these rodents before actual
'old weather sets in.
