GRADUATES BECOME DAIRYMEN

George Biggar. 10Y an instructor in
the school of agriculture at State, rank
ing fifth in this work. Other members
of the group were Clifford Peck, a
farmer at Hazel. and Richard Gardner,
instructor in agriculture at Orland.
In the 1921 contest State representa-
tives ranked high in all products judg-
ing, with William Kurtz, now teaching
at Geddes, Paul Underwood, instructor
in Bryant high school, and Phillip Han
sen of the animal h~usbandry depart
e at State college, scoring at the
show.
The attention of visitors at the 1922
national dairy show at st. Paul was at
tracted by the work of States judging
team when the j. G.. Cherry cup was
permanently awarded to the college for
first honors in butter Judging, teams
from Brookings having taken this cup
three times. The contestants also took
fourth on milk and fourth On all prod
ucts, eighth On cheese scoring. States
team, competing with eight other
schools, was composed of Earl and
Glenn Prunty, Hartford, Floyd Wright,
Haynes, n. D., and Carol Wallis,
Mitchell, all students in the dairy de-
partment.
During those six contests, Brookings
contestants w failed to win indi-
.vidual and group awards. Each year,
since State first participated in the
contests for students, interest has in
creased and this particular activity
has done much to carry on enthusiasm
in dairying. Not only was interest
stimulated by the judging for students
in school, but it has helped to develop
dairying in the state. Practically ev-
cry graduate participating in the con
tests is now carrying on some kind of
work in dairying or in teaching agri-
cultural subjects.
During the last ten years dairying
partly because of the work done by
heads of the department. Christian
Larsen, newly elected dean Of agriCIl
ture, worked with the first teams that
state sem to the national dairy shows,
and under his coaching the students
carried off first in milk and butter scor-
ing in 1917, when they won both Ford
and Cherry cups, first in milk judging
in 1919 and the second award of the
Ford cup. When Professor Larsen
left the school. coaching of the con
testants was efficiently continued by
Thomas Olson and Thomas Wright,
Jr., of the dairy department. 1t was
under the direction of Professor
Wright that the 1922 team received
first in butter Judging, thus taking per-
manent possession Of the j. G. Cherry
cup by this outstanding work at the
st. Paul show.
While hook knowledge is mostly
theoretical, this meeting with other
contestants in the judging ring is OF
unlimited practical value to students
specializing in dairying, and many
State college graduates now carrying
on some phase Of dairying can un
doubtedly trace part of their success
back to amateur judging at the nation
al contests.

"a BODY BLOW"

Scrambled Wives is one of the
most irresistably funny comedies that
has ever been written; a play filled
with the sort of laughter that fairly
bubbles forth, and grow and grows un.
til, between spasms of merriment. the
audience wonders when the limit of
fun-making will be reached, only to
discover that it comes with the final
curtain and not before.
1t is an extremely difficult thing to
write a play that is fun from start to
finish. Most authors provide a fair
supply of laughter but meet the occas-
sional dull moments and are unable
to overcome them. This tragic posi-
bility never comes about in Scrambled
Wives" And it is a further remarkable
fact that the fun is as clean and whole
some as 1t is original. These qualities
are some of those which helped to
make the Adelaide Mathews, Martha
NJ. Stanley comedy one of the greatest
hits that Broadway has had in a dec
ade-at the Grand Monday night.

property than l ever had, but it does
not seem to be worth anything at the
present time. The banks have tied it
up so that IL l sell anything, the money
goes to them so how am l going to
pay. There are lots of people who
owe me but l haven't advertised their
account. l wish to mention a few
cases. One Of a man who owed me
1925. offered him his note for a load
of potatoes last fall but l didn't get the
potatoes. Another owed me $50. He
gave me a check and l still have the
check and have had to pay protest
fees on 1t besides. Another man came
down to my farm from Brookings and
said bis children did not have any
milk and If l would sell him a cow he
would pay for it when the college
paid him for working there. Well, I
knew he needed the COW so l sold her
to him. But his banker had a different
view on the case. He took the COW
away from this man and put her on

the men a solid footing from the start.
Men in training at the college are
placed on the pay roll of the United
States War Veterans bureau during
their training and the allowance allot-

the men for a stipulated period while

farms in operation their income will
steadily increase and soon they will be

South Dakota is the first state in the
union to take up the colonization pro

will be watched by those interested in
all parts OF the country. If the expert
