CREDIT TO CONTESTANTS, Gevd Showing of. Buttermakers ia State Contest. ‘The state dairy and food commission has completed the work of figuring the average scores of all buttermakers who had competed in the monthly edu- cational contests for six months or more. John Friedner of Strout was the winner of the Van Sant gold medal, with an average score of 95.54, for the twelve months. W. Lund of Forest City had an aver- age score of 95.77, but competed in only ten of the contests and was ineligible to compete for’the medal, which was to be awarded the buttermaker making the highest score for the twelve months. J. Koepsell of Lewiston was second in the contest for the medal, with a score of 95.05 for twelve months. Eighty-seven of -he contestants whe entered butter in six or more of the monthly exhibitions secured an average score of 93 points or better, which is remarkably good. The following twenty-seven exhibit- ors secured average scores of 94 or bet- ter. Exhibitors who entered the entire twelve contests are marked with an x: W. Lund.

STATE HELPS BUILD SCHOOLS. Loans to Sehool Districts of Nearly $2,000,000, State Treasurer Julius Block hat been checking over the loans made t¢ independent school districts from the permanent school fund. About twe thousand“seven hundred loans have been made, aggregating $1,731,930.89 Each loan is secured by one to twenty bonds of the school district, municipal- ity or township taking the loan, falling due at intervals, so that there wert about fifteen thousand bonds to be checked. These loans are considered by the state board of investment as among the best made by the state. They bear 4 or 5 per cent interest. The applica- ticns are approved by the state boaré of investment, composed of the govern- or, the state auditor, the state treas+ urer, the chief justice of the supreme court, and the president of the board of university regents. The system en- ables school districts to get money easily for school buildings. Polk county has the largest number of loans, 86, and Morrisson county i a close second. Otter Tail county als¢ has a large number of loans. The dis- tricts of fst. Louis county have secured the largest amount of the money, $107,- 086.79. Faribault county is second, with $85,556; ine county, third, with $67,606 and Nobles county, fourth, with $59,600. Cass and Steele are the only counties in the state in which the school dis- tricts or townships'have borrowed n¢ money in this way. Carver county has borrowed only $275 from the state. The state treasurer has also checked the bonds held in trust for the state funds. Investments of this character aggregate $9,340,980.89, and yield an an- nual income of $338,817. The bonds are held, for the state funds as follows: Permanent School fund, $8,135,130.89; apnual interest, $298,185; permanent university fund, $989,350; annual inter- est, $33,524; internal improvement land fund, 8,000, anrual interest, $2,570; state institutions fund, $138,000, annual interest, $4,420. ————— = FARMERS SOW LESS WHEAT. ‘There Will Be More Corn and Oats Than Last Year. The first of the annual series of week- ly crop reports compiled by the traffic department of the Northern Pacific un- der the direction of Vice President Hannaford, indicates that wheat acre- age will be decreased this year in Min- nesota and North Dakota, but that there will be an increased acreage of corn and oats. Seeding is generally reported from 3 week to ten days earlier than last sea- son, an advantage brought to nothing by the ‘dry winter and lack of spring rains. Crops at present are not more advanced than a year ago at this time. In Northwestern Minnesota 50 per cent of the wheat crop is in the ground, During the past few days there has been plenty of moisture and conditions are very promising. High prices last fall have produced an increased potato acreage in the country between St. Paul and Duluth, which for a time last year supplied the mar- kets of the United States because of crop failures elsewhere. Plenty of rain has fallen and farmers are hopeful of heavy yields. Across the line in Manitoba heavy rains have retarded the sowing of grain, Wheat has becn sown, but lit- tle is above the ground. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, Mcntana and adja- eent states the conditions are excellent, Crops are being planted with all the moisture that is needed, except for the Bitter Root valley, where cool weather has delayed operations, with excellent weather conditions. ’ An Old Settler Dead.

Rogers, president of the state board of health, has issued the following, with the request that the weekly papers of the state will give it wide publicity. There is no appropria- tion on which the board can draw for printing and sending circulars, and the board therefore calls on the good na- ture of the state. He says there is no special alarm, but the board desires to Stamp’ smallpox out of the state, and can only do so by securing the hearty co-oepration of all. The statement fol- lows: Office of the State Board of Heaith. April 28, 1902. To the Board of Health of Each County of the State of South Dakota. Gentlemen—Brom reports received at this office during the present month, it appears that smalipox is prevalent in county, city and township boards ‘are hindered in the discharge of their sev- eral duties by not having cases reported to them by physicians in attendance on such cases and-by parents and guard- jans in charge of premises where this disease is prevalent. In this condition of affairs, I desire to call your especial attention to that part of Section 16 of Chapter 96 of the Session Laws of 1895, which reads as folltws: “Any practicing physician or other person who shall fail to report to the superintendent of the county board of health the existenee of any contagious or infectious disease, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $100, or by im- prisonment in che county jail for not more than six morths, or by both such fine and imprisonment, in the discretion of the ceurt.” It is evident that the spread of this disease is not goinz to be stopped until every possible means within our power is used; and with this end in view, I urge upon the members. and especially the superintendencs of all boards, to re- sort to the provisions of this section. One superintendent of a county board reports that a single conviction, with a fine of $20 attached, has resulted in having all, or nearly all of the cases tv his county reported; and if you get all cases reported and use every means in your power, you will be able to stop the spread of this disease within your county. Let us have prompt and united action on the part of every health offi- cer, and the co-operation of every good citizen, to the erd that infectious and contagious diseases «may be stamped out in every county of this state. Yours, truly and fraternally, i —A. H. Rogers, M. D. President and Superintendent of Beard of Health. tate WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN. €onditions in South Dakota Are Ser Forth. The temperature Curing the w2ek av- eraged below the normal. On the 22d there was a general rain and snow sicrm, accompanied by a high norther- ly wind. followed by a freezing tem- peraivre on the morning of the 23d Qn the 25th there was a general rain of generous amount. There is no dam- age from the freeze of the 23d reported: and except that seeding operations were thereby retarded, cspecially in the ex- tren:e western and northern counti2s, uhe moisture from the snow/and rair was very beneficial to wheat, oats, bar- ley, winter rye and grasses, as the sur- face'soil on the uplands in eastern sec- tions had become dry during the pre- veding week, Wheat sowing is about completed ir the middle and southern counties east of the Missouri river. and is from one- half to two-thirds completed in the ‘northern counties. Oat sowing is near- ly as well advanced, and banley sowing is far advanced. In all sections the ear- ly-sown grain is either sprouting or well up, but is more advanced in the southeastern countnes than elsewhere. though progress was more or less re- tarded generally by the cool condition of the soil, due to several frosty nights and cool days. A good stand is gener- ally indicated, so far as at this time can be determined. Considerable plowing and preparation of soil for corn and other late crops w: accomplished in most of the cunties, and a little flax was sown in some southern localities. Grass is still backward, but has made fair growth, and now affords consider- able pasturage. Fall-sown rye is generally thrifty and has made fair pregress. Garden planting is general, early potato planting is in progress, and tree buds are swelling generally. With sasonable warmth, rapid devel- opment in all vegetation may now be expected, as the soil is amply moist generally, and prompt germination 0! late-sown smail grains seems assured PATENTS FOR 21,552 ACRES. State Land Depariment Receiver Patents of Sully and Hand County ty Lands, The state land department ae ceived from the general. government patents for 21,552 acres of land in Sully and Hand counties. Of this, 17,736 acres are school indemnity lands, and com- prises the Fort Sully reservation, all’in Sully county. ‘Ske balance, of 3,S1€ acres, is agricultural college land, and is situated in Hand county. The state land department has re- cently issued seventy-four patents to purehasers of state lands who have made finaly paymeat on the same. The county of Yankton secured the largest number of these for any one county, with twenty-four; McCook received nineteen; Minnehaha, fourteen; Brook- ings and Lincoln each, four; Coding- ton, five; Roberts, two, and one each to Lake and Hutchinson.

Although it has been impossible yet to compile figures from ticket reports j to show tho actual volume cf travel, the lines carrying the greater part of this epring’s s+ttlers’ movement through the Twin City gateway estimste that it numbered fully 80,000.

North Dakota is credited with moze new set- tlers than all the states from its West- ern boundary to the Pacific, and Minne- sota with fully half as many people as have gone to Washington.

The settlement in the Western states practically ends this week, in Minnesota and Wisconsin there will be a steady influex of farm- ars throughout the year. It will not be noticeably heavy at any time, but in the aggregate it will represent a very large addition to the population. The grcat majority of those who went west carried stock, farming implements, household effects and ready money. Nearly all had previously selected their lands, and on ary of the new farms temporary cabins had been erected, in anticipation of their coming. CATTLE OWNERS ARE AROUSED. Many Requests to Have Herds Tested for Tuberculosis. The veterinary department of the state board of he-Ith is receiving more sequests than it can attend to from cat- tle owners who desire to have their cattle owners who are be nerds tested for tub vlosis. The de- partment frequently has to employ lo- zal veterinarians to do the work. “We have all the work we can do, and even more than w can do,” said Dr. S. cimhall, in charge of the» veterinaary department. ‘fhe rumber of owners who want to keep tuberculosis out of their herds and who desire their cattle tested is constantly increasing. The majority of the requests come from men who have had an animal or two die or who have noticed among their 3tcck sorve of the best-known symp- toms of tuberculosis, such as coughing. Few of them, I think, have their herds tested because they fear people will centract tuberculosis either from the milk or the meat; but the number of inning to consider this phase of the probiem -is increasing. “The death of their animals, howev- 2r, strikes directiy at their po thook, and then they want to\know what is ‘he trouble. The new law, providing tor reimbursing the owner of cattle illed for tuberculosis has increased the number of applications for the inspec- tion of herds. Now the state and coun- amount received for the carcass is de- ducted. This makes the owner's loss very small on ordinary animals. He is more apt to have his animals tested aow than when, he had to bear the en- tire loss if any of them were ordered killed. ‘ “The increase in the number of appli- cations is particularly gratifying, as it shows that the gattlemen recognize that it is to their own interest to keep tu- berculosis out-of their herds. The peo- ple are thinking about the wonderful increase in tuberculosis, both in ani- mals and people during the last few years, and I think next year will wit- ness a still larger increase in the appli- cations of those who desire their herds to be inspectei.” STATE LOSES LAND CASE. Supreme Court Decision as to Sec- tions Thirty-Six and Sixteen. The decision of the supreme court re- cently handed down by Associate Just- ice Brewer, in the Minnesota school land case, Whereby the’ state loses its claim to Sections 16 and 36 of the Chip- pewa Indian lands, will have a great bearing on the legislation now pending in congress. . In the Red Lake and Chippewa reser- vation bill, providirg for opening up the agricultural lands, Sections 16 and 36 are each exempted in all the area to be opened. The effect of the @ecision of the su- preme court, ho:ding that the lands are vested in the Indians, will add a large amount of land ‘o be opened for settle- meni. Justice Brewer’s decision de- clares, that, under the treaty between the United States and the Chippewa In- dians, the Indians are entitled to Sec- tions 16 and 36, the same as any other | lands ceded to them Dy the treaty. The decision will also have much to do with the future of Cass Lake, a part of the town s:te being on Section 16, which is occupied by squatters. When Secretary Hitchcock ordered the squatters off, a few years ago, they re- fused to leave, claiming taht thestate was entitled to the section, and woult eventually get it. Cass Lake on Section 16 is held as an Indian allotment by George Lydecker. | The squetters will now have to settle with him and the government. — Some of tae land at | SURGICAL OPERATIONS’ How Mrs. Bruce, a Noted — Singer, Escaped an Opera' Proof That Many Operations for Ovarian Troubles are Un- necessary. 4 “ Dear Mrs. Prvxnam : —Travelling for years on the road, with irregular meals and sleep and damp beds, broke down my health so completely two years ago that the physician advised & complete rest, and when I had gained 7 MRS.
