D.—The rain of last week which amounted to about an inch, put the crops in excellent condition in Springfled territory. Although the small grain was not i uttering from lack of moisture the rain did give it new vigor end since much of it is about to head out there will be ample use for the rain fall. It is evident that there will be an early small grain harvest and some farmers say they will be cutting some of their grain by July A. Corn is coming with leaps and bounds, the only trouble being that many farmers cannot keep ahead ot the weeds and in some sections they are bothered either with creeping Jenny or with morning glories. REPORTS ON STUDY OF PHEASANT FOODS Mitchell, S. D.— ' ‘ —The South Dakota pheasant is a “general feed er,” which does not specialize upon any particular species of plant or animal and does not distinguish between plants and insects beneficial to agriculture and those that are harmful, a year's investigation of the bird’s feeding habits has shown. H. C. Severin, head of the entom ology-zoology department at South Dakota State college, wh%o supervised the laboratory examination to de termine the pheasant's feeding hab its, reported the results at the Izaak Walton league convention here.

S. Depart ment of Agriculture Proper cutting of rose blossoms allows not only better length of stems of cut flowers, but also leaves bushes in better condition to pro duce more blossoms. Cut bush roses with stems as long as possible. Not more than two buds or eyes should be left cn the stub below' the cut. If stems are not more than six inches long it will be best to cut many of the roses back to the old stem, leaving no stub. When it can be done without would be well to cut even some of the old wood with flowers. For fine flowers on long stems, with a prospect of more flowers for a long season, vigorous hybrid tea roses should have been cut back to a height of not over 15 inches last spring before growth started and usually it is better when they are cut back to a foot or less. Tea roses should have been pruned in much the same way, and hybrid perpet uate left as long as 15 to 18 inches. For Long Stems In fertile soil such spring prun ing will produce blossoms at the end of stems at least 12 and 18 inches long. By leaving one or at Wisdom, Skill, Beauty Honored by Germans BERLIN— —A query to deter mine who Is the most Important, who the best known and who the most popular woman of Germany recently was circulated by the wom an's periodical Frau Undheim. For the most important woman the majority of readers cast their vote for Dr. Gertrude Baeumer, democratic member of the Reich stag and head secretary in the min istry of the interior. The con-;ensus was that “Gertrud Baeumer had most two buds at the base of such a stem when flowers are cut new strong shoots will push out that in | turn will give fine roses on the long I stems later on. If the bush was pruned lightly in j the spring a mass of short-stemmed roses will result and there is a less satisfactory second crop. If masses of flowers on the bash ; are not used for cutting they should : be clipped as they fade. Differnt Cuttings Flowers of climbing hybrid tea roses may be cut in much the same way as outlined, while the double flowered forms of the rambler roses are usually borne on long stems that may be cut for indoor decora tion as are bush roses, but there will be no second flowering from the ; base of stems. If long sprays of roses are neede for decoration the main stems of rambler roses may be cut without injury to the plant. --■ ♦ Farming in Iowa Dayton farmers have opened a war on stray dogs and are encour aging the killing of canines to pro tect stock and especially sheep. One farmer has advertised free camping grounds for dog hunters and says he will pjy a bounty on the animals killed. A calf fed by Margaret Eatle of the Muscatine, county boys’ and girls’ club has gained 110 pounds during the month. He was fed 210 pounds of ground or chopped ear corn, 210 pounds cracked or shell corn, 32 pounds of barley and oll meal or cottonseed meal, molasses feed and hay. The Cedar Rapids Co-operative | dairy reported an increase of 60 per cent in the amount of business proved herself an important factor for the reconstruction of the Ger man nation and had pointed out to the women of all countries new methods for attaining a new state ; of culture.” As the best known woman of Ger | many, Helen Mayer, the young | champion woman fencer of Ger many, was chosen—a vivid illustra tion of the growing popularity of sports in the postwar fatherland. But the honor of being Germany’s most popular woman was conceded to Henny Portcn, the screen actress, lauded by a number of her sisters ; ! for having remained throughout the j handled in a two weeks period over the same period last year.

Define and clean cut respon siblities should Do assigned to eact executive. 2. Responsiblity should always be coupled witn corresponding auth ority. 3. No change should be made in the scope or responsibilities oi a pos ition without a delimte understand ing to that effect on the part of aL’ persons concerned. 4 No officer or employe, occupy ing a single position in the organiza tion, should be subject to definite orders from more than one source. 5. Orders should never be given to subordinates over the head of a responsible officer. Rather than do this the officer in question sliouid be supplanted. 6. Criticisms of subordinates should, whenever possible, be made privately, and in no case should a subordinate be criticised in the pres ence of officers or employes of equal or lower rank. 7. No dispute or difference be tween officers cr employes as Jp authority or responslblities should be considered too trival for prompt and careful adjudication. 8. Promotions, wage changes, and disciplinary action should always be approved by the officer immediately superior to the one directly respons ible. 9. No officer or employe should ever be required, or expected, to be at the same time an assistant to, and critic of, another. 10. Any officer whose work Is subject to regular inspection should, whenever practicable, be given the assistance and facilities necessary tc enable him to maintain an independ ent check of the quality of his work. The final and greatest of manage ment problems is that of safeguard ing and developing the human ele ment in the upper ranges of corpor ate organizations. No apology need be made for concentrating attention on this particular angle The whole progress of civilization, and the inti mate welfare of the lowliest worker, depend upon conserving and develop ing the qualities of leadership. The business and industrial leaders of to day are sons of the workers of yes terday. The problem is not of one class, but of the whole people. The final justification of management, as a science, will come when it adds to its economic usefulness a proven contribution to the development ol human individuality and character. This is an obligation of. but not a burden unon, business. The business organization that safeguards the human element, that builds real men. will, with equal certanity, safeguard and build real profits. Anxious From The Humorist.
