ODDS AND ENDS ON THE FARM
Grain is Not the Only Thing That
Adds to the Farmers Bank
Account

Doane Robinson has made an
estimate Of the oat crop OF the state
and it shows that there were l ,249 1891
acres in from which was harvested
5l,3l0,0l7 bushels, or an average of
Al bushels to the acre. Bookings
county is way up towards the head in
the matter OF acreage and yield, there
having been II ,566 acres in crop. from
which was taken 3,006,772 bushels, or
an average of ~ bushels to the acre.
This county has also made grand
showing in the matter OF yield in
wheat, barley and corn, and all in face
of the fact that the heavy rainfall
during September damaged large per-
centage OF the wheat and barley crop,
while on the contrary the wet weather
added greatly to the corn yield.
There are several farm products that
are bringing in quite respectable sum
each year to the farmers OF Brookings
county that very little is said about.
Everybody knows OF the large ship
ments OF grain that are made each
year by our elevators, and the prosper
ity OF the county is based upon the
amount OF the shipments, while wool
and grass seeds are not given any
thought.
This year one firm has shipped to
eastern seed houses nearly 5000
bushels OF timothy seed from this
city at the average price OF $1.20 per
bushel, thus adding to the Golfers OF
the farmers nearly $4,000 from that
source alone. The wool buyers have
shipped nearly $50, 900 pounds of wool
to the eastern markets, at the average
price of BIC per pound, thereby adding
a sum of nearly $50, 900 to the resour-
ces OF people in the vicinity OF Brook
ings.
Several hundred bushels OF clover
seed have also been shipped, and by
the way, clover seed sells for $500 per
bushel.
Next year the wool shipments will
be much larger from this city as
several thousand more sheep will be
owned by people in this vicinity than
there are at this writing.
The above figures are for the ship
ments from this city alone, and when
it is taken into consideration that
there are other shipping points in this
county that handle more or less wool
and seeds it will be readily under
stood that grain is not the only thing
that goes to make this county the
best in the state.

have seats reserved will do well to
bear this in mind, as there will be no
deviation from this rule. At 1880 the
reserved seat sale will again be
opened at the managers office in the
opera house. This gives the neces-
sary time for the Manager and Mr..
Villas to check up the board.
The curtain will rise at promptly
SID each evening, and persons COM
ing in late will have to remain in the
house until the act then in progress
is ended when they will be ushered to
their seats.
Arrangements have been made to
notify the patrons OF the house the
time OF the train going east 50 that
those who attend attractions from the
towns east OF Bookings will have
ample time to make the train.

FOOT BALL

The WATERFOWL high school eleven
will play the Brookings high school
team return game at the base ball
park south of the depot Saturday,
Oct. 9th. This game promises to be
a most interesting one from the fact
that the game at WatertOwn last
Saturday resulted in score of to g.,
and it stands to reason that both
teams will be on their mettle for the
game here. Coming as it does on
Market Day gives the country people
an opportunity to witness a really
good exhibition Of the popular game.
The Huron college football team
met the Agricultural college team
at base ball part Saturday afternoon.
In the first half Brookings made four
touchdowns and kicked one goal, the
wind seeming to prevent the player
from placing the pigskin between the
standards. Huron failed to get a
semblance of a score and first half
closed q to 0. In the second half
Brookings piled up fifteen more
scores to their credit and Huron made
a pretty field kick scoring four points
and saving themselves from ignomin-
ious defeat. This was not done how
ever until six OF the first team of the
Agriculturists had been called from
the field and their places filled with
substitutes. 1t was very tame game
so far as fast football goes, but the
good sized crowd seemed to enjoy the
sport. We believe that the s. d. A. c..
has the making OF strong team this
year. There are some sturdy fellows
among the new men and the old
stagers are in good form. 1t is to be
regretted that there has been no
arrangements to haye further games
here during the season.

HOW RROOKINGS MAY PR
GRESS.
A Few Suggestions Which 3 hit
Prove Profitable If s
Adopted.

Brookings is purely an agricultural
town say some and cannot hope to be-
come large city. In this particular
we cannot agree with those who do not
see bright future for this city and
county. The fact Of the matter is that
we have not as yet realized the oppor-
tunities we possess for making great
city.
We have within our city limits the
best educational institution in the
state which may be utilized as nu-
Cleus around which to gather still
greater advantages. There are many
enterprises along agricultural lines
which should be encouraged. a COM
pany has recently been organized to
establish a pure seed raising farm
somewhere in the state. Why not go
after this? The soil, moisture and
general conditions are admirable for
such an industry. Then why not es-
tablish large stock pavilion here
where state stock sales could be held
instead of going a hundred miles
away from this great stock center?
Sooner or later we must revive the
interest in a we'll conducted creamery
that will have the capacity and capital
to reach out and get the cream product
OF the county.
We can, if we will, make our agri-
cultural advantages equal to the whole
sale, manufacturing and mining ad-
vantages enjoyed by other towns in
the state. All those things require
capital and this we have if those pos
sessing the same will only manifest a
desire to employ it in that way in
stead of allowing it to remain in the
banks.

SHONTS VISITS

Employment of Chinese on
Panama Canal Discussed
With the President.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 13.-Chairman
Shonts of the isthmian canal commits
sion said after a visit to the president
at Sycamore Hill today that he had
given the president a report up to date
of the progress of the canal work in
Panama. The question of most impor-
lance now confronting the commission,
he said, was that of obtaining labor.
I'VE shall advertise at once for $500
Chinese laborers in China" he said,
land give laborers of that nationality
a thorough trial at the work. 1t has
been represented to us that they will
be more satisfactory than any class of
laborers we have yet tried. The ia
maican negroes whom we have given
an extensive trial Ii.ve not proved sat
isfactory. The Spanish laborers whom
we are working now TO a great extent
are very much better than the Jamai-
can negroes. We shall endeavor to have
laborers of as many nationalities as we
can get to work on the canal. as it is
better than having larger force of one
nationality"
Chairman Shonts said that the new
steam shovels ordered some time ago
were arriving on the isthmus and were
being Immediately installed. The dirt
was coming out of Culebra cut so rap
idly that great difficulty was being
found In disposing of it.
The presidents November trip to
Panama was not discussed today
Chairman Shonts says that the condi-
lions on the isthmus were very much
improved and that both Secretary Taft
and himself would go with the presi-
dent when he makes his inspection of
the work in November.
