Nineteen guests at the Hotel
Riverside, Popham Beach, who went
to Indian Point on the extreme end
of Georgetown, on the east side of
the river Wednesday morning to
camp out for the day, had thrilling
experience on their return. While
they confidently expected that some
one was going to take them back,
through misunderstanding no one
appeared and when 7.30 arrived and
nothing had been heard from them.
Landlord Humiston notified the
Coast Guard crew. Because of the
ebbing current and low tide it was
impossible to run the life boat in to
shore and the members of the party
had to be transferred in the dark
and stormy night in little dory from
shore to the power boat and, with a
choppy sea running the trip back to
Popham in the drenching rain was
one the members of the party will
probably never forget.

HARDY SIBERIAN PEAR
SOUGHT FOR DAKOTA
DR.. Hansen Embarks on Trip
Seeking Pear Adaptable To
Severe Climate There

BOOKINGS, S. D., August 29.--
N F. Hansen, South Dakota's "agri-
cultural explorer" whose trips TO
Asiatic countries in quest OF trullS
and plants. adaptable to the climate
of the northwest have paid DIVIDENDS
of inestimable extent to farmers Oh
the Dakotas, Is emparKng upon ms
sixth trip to the Siberian steppes'
this time in quest of a pear hardy
enough to withstand the extremes Oh
South Dakota climate.
DR.. Hansen is on his way west
ward to embark for Vladivostok, IL
nanced by a $4,000 appropriation
of the South Dakota legislature.
Already the contributor OF the
Cossack alfalfa and of the hardy
Hansen hybrid plum, which has been
developed to mature in Dakota S
short summers, DR.. Hansen declared
that the cold Businesses of northern
Siberia hold various other fruits and
agricultural species which may be
adapted to this climate. His five
previous journeys of exploration
have resulted in the introduction to
the northwest of the Turkestan, ST.
berian and other alfalfa breeds, a
host of hybridizations of orchard
fruits and several varieties of hardy
roses. And when he returned from
Siberia in 1918 he brought prod
uct outside his specific province, q
Siberian "fat-rumped" sheep, which
has shown itself capable of suryiv-
ing the rigors of South Dakota win
tiers.
Cossack alfalfa, which is regard
ed as DR.. Hansen's masterpiece,
now widely grown in the northwest,
was developed from a spoonful of
seed in 1906 to more than a thou
sand bushels of seed in 1916, and
its culture is spreading as rapidly
as seed is available.
DR.. Hansen is certain his present
quest for hardy pear, adaptable to
Dakota climate, will be successful.
Il know it is there" he said, "it is
only question of finding good
specimens of a variety known to
exist, and of developing them to re.
sist blight. South Dakota has failed
to raise pears chiefly because of this
blight. 1t kill the trees"
