The Creamery Question.

This Icing d good season of the year
to agltiitc questions pertaining to the
betterment of the conditions existing in
the state, especially in the farming com
rilnities. the independent takes this oc-
casion to remind the farmers of this
county OF The many advantages to be de-
rived from dairying andmixed farmin-.
South Dakota being SO near neighoor to
|tus our farmers ought to be able to profit
by the experience of"thc same class in
that state.
1t is awell known fact that up to 1897
F the farmers in the north part Of South
Dakota depended almost entirely upon
kgrain farming and it was the rule in
those days to gejsin debt for everything
Sfrom enc harvest to another, and it was
by no means the exception for the deal
crs to have to carry over each year a
harvest" with perhaps no better success
poor, in all that that word implies.
In 1861 many creamerics were built
in that section ct the state, and the pros
perity of the farmers dates from that
time. They have the money to pay for
their supplies as they 60. They have
improved their farms by building large
dwelling houses barns, granarics, etc,
and live as comfortable and are as pros
porous as farmers in Minnesota, Iowa or
any other state. The same men who
were paying interest on borrowed money
before the creamery era now have bank
accounts, and not d few of them hav G
money to loan.
The last annual report of the dairy
commissioner shows that the product OF
the creameries and daries of that state
for the year ending June 30, 1902,
amounted to over four million dollars
worth The same report shows that
there are four times us many cows in the
state as there We're in 1896, and the num-
Der of hogs have increased in stflElarger
proportions.
Since raising more stock necessitetes
raising more feed enables, farmers to
rotate their crobs, which preserves the
fertility of the soil and they raise larger
and better crops with less labor.
The southwestern part of North Da-
lSota is also enjoying prosperity, the
towns are growing land is doubling and
thrilling in price. The same conditions
prevailed there few years ago as existed
in South Dakota, but they built cream
cries and bought COWS and changed
their mode of farming.
We might go on indefinitely citing ar
guments in favor of creamerics, but the
best course to pursue is to call Il public
meeting and talk the matter over and
find the sentiment. If the sentiment is
not in favor of creameries send to the
experiment station for one Of the pro
| fessors Of the institution who IS posted
on the subject, and he will explain the
details Of experiments made that can't
fail to create sentiment in their favor.
