Sioux Falls Firm Cleared At Mitchell MITCHELL MTV-Luther Thomas vnl(? from the Mitchell City Council to waive the errors alleged made by the company and permit It to go ahead with its $114,000 hundred block street Improvement program. The Sioux Falls firm was declared the low bidder June 20 for the street program and for some airport improvement work. At a reg- ula meeting of the council Tues day evening, City Attorney H. Fuller told councilmen that DASCO had not started work within the required 15 days nfter awarding of the contract and had failed to Dost its bond within 10 days after re ceiving notification of winning the contract.

Marnel Lindekugel, representative of the Lindekugel Construction Co. of Mitchell, which was second low bidder $12,000 higher than DASCO asked the council, "how are you going to attract bidders if you don't mean what you say" in your advertisement for bids? Does DASCO have proper equipment to do the airport work according to (federal) specification? We, as con tractors, cannot do husinpss in thp1 future with a city that does such business" Thomas, meanwhile, maintained that his company had proper and sufficient equipment to meet federal specifications and that the city engineer had been satisfied as to that sufficiency. He maintained that it wasn't in Lindekugel's province to question the quality or condition of DASCO's machinery and equip ment at this time. Thomas also maintained that notification was received June 24, and it had 10 davs from that date deliver its bond to the city. An nsigned bonds was received by ine city Tuesday.

He also maintain ed that a signed contract had never been received from the city. The contract stipuated that the company would commence work within 15 clays after awarding of the con tract.

Rust-Resistant Wheat Study Told At SDSC BROOKINGS (AP) Persons attending the annual Agronomy Field Day at South Dakota State College heard reports on continued studies of rust resistant wheat varieties. An estimated 1,000 persons toured experimental plots on the agronomy farm.

Agronomist V. A. Dirks reported on several durums that resist race 15B of stem rust. He said one new selection may be available this fall. C.

M. Nagel, head of the plant pathology department, said South Dakota will escape rust damage this year except for late plantings and durums in the northern tip of the state. He said epidemics of the disease would be artificially induced in the greenhouse this winter to allow continuance of experiments. Work is continuing on chemical control of rust. Pathologist George Semeniuk' reported that several of 60 chemicals show "some suppression" against rust on wheat and oats plots.

Several oats and barley varieties also appear promising, agronomists reported. Dirks said that Ransom, an oat worked on cooperatively by South Dakota and North Dakota, is being increased. It is early, stem rust resistant, stands up well, has bright color and has had good test weights. C. C.

Harpstead told of possible new barley releases, one in B103, the result of South Dakota, North Dakota and Minnesota cooperative work. It is similar to Kindred, a malting barley, but has stiffer straw. Winter hardiness is the big problem with winter wheat in South Dakota, U. J. Norgaard, extension agronomist, reported.

A winter wheat as hardy as rye would mean an additional income of 20 million dollars a year, he estimated. Mrs. Seer Funeral Held Thursday Funeral services for Mrs. Ameri ca Seer, 92-ycar-old Fairpoint resi dent who died here Monday, were held Thursday afternuoon at Behr- ens Mortuary. Rev.

Rew Walz officiated. Music was furnished by Mrs. William Snyder, organist, and Mrs. Jane Anderson, soloist. Pallbearers were Henry Larson, Harold Simmons.

Philip Rounds and Ronald Rounds, all of Fair noint. Burial was in Mountain View missioners and Highway Superintendent Dwight Rnmes said the county hasn't sufficient funds or equipment to complete the project this year. Rames said he would have to rent additional equipment to handle both the project and a federal aid project aouth of New Underwood and he felt the rond budget for the year is not adequate to take care of the cost of the rental in addition to the cost of the project itself. The commissioners were unable to give the exact amount of funds already promised for road work throughout the county. But County Auditor Alner Snesrud told the group the county must keep in reserve sufficient funds to match the federal aid money provided for projects already planned.

The delegaiton left dissatisfied after the board voted unanimously to continue the project for only about another mile and a half over a particularly bad stretch of road on a hill. Another motion promising completion of the road if funds are available later this year was allowed to die when members of the delegation expressed disgust that the promise was empty. Sheriff Glenn Best finally had three commissioners' names on his requisition for a new washing machine for the county jail Friday. The sheriff had submitted the request June 7 for a $250 washing machine with $53 trade-in on the old one. Best secured a second bid from another firm and submitted it to the board this week.

Three com missionersChairman Martin Col lins, Martin Ellingson and Emrey Whitehead signed the month-old requisition. Best also submitted the names of three men to be special deputies. They are Harold L. Hayes, Leslie Parker and Clifford Davey, Jr. Mundt: Surplus Disposal Bill Important Here WASHINGTON UP)-The Senate Agriculture Committee has approv ed a bill designed to speed up disposal of farm surplus through ex ports.

Sen. Mundt (R-SD), a co-sponsor of the bill, said the bill removes several restrictions from present legislation governing surplus sales and donations to foreign nations. He said the new bill "will direct the entire program away from in terference by diplomats in the U. S. State Department and foreign nations." 'This would be done," Mundt said, "by rescinding language in previous legislation saying that sur plus sales are made in 'furtherance of foreign policy' and also by making the secretary of agriculture now primarily responsible for sur plus sale negotiations with foreign countries.

Senator Mundt said this legisla tion "is of vital importance to South Dakota because everyone in our state will indirectly benefit from the aggressive trade develop ment program now being promoted by farm state senators and officials in the department of agriculture.
