CODLIDGE GIVES TIP 10 REPORTER Latter Then Gets Story About Dry Field Station Ardmore, S. D, July 20 (UP)— Out here in the golden west where there is plenty of scenery and enough outdoor life to please the most persistent of game hunters, news has been scarce for the Wash- ington correspondents assigned to ‘“cover’ ‘the summer vacation of I'resident Coolidge. Realizing this comparative short- age of news, Mr. Coolidge suggested that newspaper correspondents write stories about the Ardmore dry farming fleid station, a 1,600-acre tract of land devoted by the fed- eral government to experiment in raising crops where the rainfall av- erages only 12 inches a year, and about the Bellefourche {rrigation project where the government fur- nished water for the farmers of two counties. | In accordance with the president's suggestion, the United Press cor- | 1espondent came here and has found some interesting information con- cerning the extent to which the government has gone to develop the soil possibilities of vast prames. O. R. Matthews, head ef the ex- perimental farm, divulged the fact that thousands of farmers yearly Visit his 400 acres of eultivated land and 1,200 acres of pasture land to learn the trics of thetrade of growing alfalfa, wheat, corn, and sugar beets, and of raising cattle. Mr. Coolidge himself saw the crops at a farmers’' picnic and waled amongst the stubby corn three feet high which is grown in this semi-arid region. When the first prairie ground in this reglon was broken in 1911, the station was established at a cost to the government of $100,000. The .most important part of the work in crop production in this area is the study of the proper method of cuitivation and crop rotation. Matthews told the United Press that it proper methods are used it is pos- sible to obtain average yields from {his soil despite the handicaps of nature, - +Grazing work is carried on entire- 1 on native pastures. One of the ob- jeets is to find the carrying capacity of the native grass to determine the effect of different intensities of graz- ing on vegetation. Another object is to find to what extent the carrying dapacitics of pasture land may be increased without injury to vegeta- tion. “We have done the farmers out here a lot of good,” Matthews said. “I can vizualize the day when all these brown buttes and rolling lands will bear food for the nation. Today they are practiecally worthless.” The station js situated at the foot of the Dlack Hills where Mr. Cool- ifige is spending the summer. The crops areunusually good this year because the rainfall has been four inches above normal. Great waving flelds of wheat and corn can be seen from the half dozen little white houses where the government crop experts live. That constitutes virtually every- thing that the United Press corres- ‘pondent could learn about the farm. | ‘If the story is not considered very good, the correspondent wishes that part of the blame be placed on the presidential shoulders because it was his idea.

IS | BACKED BY COURT| Judge Fines Haberski, Assuring Gity Tnspector of Support | Imposing o fine of $15 and costs | on Leo Haberski of 44 Cabot strect on the charge of violation of the| building ordinances, Judge Henry P. Roche in police court today served notice that the authorities who are | charged with the duty of enforcing ! the building laws have the backing | of the court. The fact that Haberski | will be put to an expense of $300 or $300 to restore a building at 62 I silver street to the condition it was | |in before he began alterations, is in | |itself a punishment, Judge Roche said. Haberski, who pleaded not guilty | when arraigned in court last week, | changed his plea to one of guilty! nd after Building Inspector A. N.| Rutherford explained the case, At- !torney B. J. Monkiewicz made a plea | for a suspended sentence on tho| | ground that Haberski did not inten- | tionally violate the law and the | great expense to which he will be | |put is considerable punishment. ! | Haberski was In the office of the | building department and saw a per- mit issued to him and signed by the building inspector ,on the desk, the | attorney said. Believing it to be! the permit for the alterations he planned to make at 62 Silver street, | he started the job only to be stop-| ped a few days later when it w: learned that the permit he had seen | actually applied to another building | job in his charge. i Inspector, Rutherford testifled that | application "for a permit to build | two stores at the corner of Broad {and Silver streets was made by Ha- berski on July 11. The inspection | of the premises disclosed that plas- | ter and partitions had been torn out although the contemplated work was not permitted by ordinance. Haberski was then ordered to dis- continue work, the inspector Asked by Attorney Monkiewicz was true that a permit to Haberski for another job had been signed, Mr. Rptherford replied aftirmative- ly. The attorney said he is in full accord with the efforts of the build- ing department officials to enforce the laws and where there are viola- | tions there should be penaltie: in view of the circumstances in this case he believed a suspended pen- alty would meet the ends of justice. Prosecuting Attorney Woods re- plied that the court cannot permit| property owners and builders tol wink at the law. The buildmg com- mission and the building inspector |are looked to for the performance of thelr duties and the court should stand behind them. He drew from Inspector Rutherford the statement that Haberski was warned some | time ago for a violation of the build- | ing ordinances. ARMOUR IMPROVED London, July 20 (& — Tke con- dition of J.
