COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

as second class matter
FARMERS WORTH $50, 1000, ooo,o

The American Review of Reviews
SAYS that if the farmers of this nation
were to go out Of business this year
it would take $50 900 900, 900 to buy
them and that they would have to
sell their farms on credit as there is
not half that much money in the
whole world.
This certainly sounds mighty big
but it is fact nevertheless. The Re-
view Of Reviews further states that
one American harvest would buy the
Kingdom of Belgium king and all;
two would buy Italy; three would buy
Austria Hungara, and five, at spot
cash price would take the whole of
Russia.
Many farmers do not realize this
but the Review Of Reviews has ligur-
ed it out and it says with every four
throbs of the heart of man that a
thousand dollars has been added to
the cash box of the American farmer.
Farming has now become a bust
ness. They are commencing to realize
that with all this amount of money
invested the time for the reckless
farmer--the man who puts the seed in
the ground in the spring aud waits for
it to grow without giving it further
attention. simply because his father
did it this way, is not the man who is
going to make the money out of the
farm in the days to come. In this
new country of ours it is the duty of
everyone to make study of the bust
ness just the same as the business man
does. The business man who runs his
business at loose ends soon has no
business and the farmers are going to
find out that they are going to come
up against the same thing in the very
near future. A few years ago the
man with cattle used to buy any old
thing that had four legs, but now if
the stockman wants to get out all
there is in the cattle he must buy the
very best and must strive to improve
them, or the man who lives next door
will take advantage of his slackness
and will be the fellow who makes the
money while the. other fellows farm
is sold on mortgage. With this
country east of the river rapidly set
thing up with progressive farmers,
competition is becoming more keen
and it behooves every man to be
awake to the times and alive to his
own interests.

There is some friction growing out
of the manner in which Indian heir
ship lands on the Crow Creek reser-
walton have been handled; it is said
prospective buyers have been favored.
There have been intimations of an in
vestigation of Indian land sales in
this state, and the government has
dispatched an agent to investigate
matters in South Dakota. The Crow
Creek situation will no doubt be in
the list inquired into. Some Of the
purchases made may not be of much
value to those who secured the lands.

Vermillion Republican,: Since it
was deemed necessary to carve the
state into two congressional districts
it seems to us that the great river
should have been made the dividing
line. The next census will probably
give us population sufficient for
three congressman and then very like
ly two districts out of the territory
east of the Missouri will be the natnr-
al outcome.

That there should be a minimum

That there should be a minimum
price of wheat at 81 .25 a bushel is the
belief of the American Society of
Equity, which has transmitted a
paper to congress. This paper shows
the cost of the farm, materials and
machinery and the amount of capital
which is necessary for the farmer to
invest before he can begin to raise
wheat. The society contends that
the farmer should receive as much
profit on his business as the manu-
facturer or the merchant

EMIGRANTs TO TURN NORTH.

T. w. Teasdale, Northwestern pas
senger agent for the Omaha railro ad,
expresses the opinion that the heavy
movement Of farmers and homeseek-
ers. who are at the present time NOV
ing to the great southwest in search
of cheap new lands, will in the not
very distant future swing around to
the northwest and that section will
receive thousands of farmers and
seekers after new homes.
1t is q restless movement, accord
ing to Mr.. Teasdale. These people
cannot be turned from their migra-
tion to the southwest until they have
sought out homes there. Then Mr..
Teasdale believes the pendulum will
swing northWard again, bringing the
horde of moving men to the farms OF
this state.
At the present time people are
moving from Iowa, Illinois and many
Of the middle western states to Texas,
Oklahoma and even New Mexico,
said Mr.. Teasdale. ''They are NOV.
ing to the new lands Of the southwest
"a few years ago the rush for land was
to the northwest. When the great
part Of the rush to the southwest is
over, you will find, believe thai

The big bonanza farms of North
Dakota are gradually disappearing,
The two Buchanan farms near James
town, consisting Of 1900 acres and
5000 acres respectively, have recently
been sold to a real estate firm with
the view to their being cut up into
small farms. 1t is most emphatically
in the interest of the country to have
small farms with actual settlers.

MORE LAWS ARE NEEDED

To beware of the public drinking cup

life and health are the joint warnings OF
Samuel e. Dixon, NJ. D., commissioner
of Pennsylvania department OF health
i'm a general statement concerning the
prevention of the spread of tuberculosis.
DR. Dixon takes the view that by an uu-
fortunate twist in the public mental
cQnCeDtiOn of the legal rights or people
under the present form OF government
the protection of property IS placed above
the protection of life and health IN I'M
D0rtance. There are one hundred laws Tor
The protection of property TO one Tor the
protection OF life and health he says
and he believes it is the first business
of the people as sanitarians TO correct
the ObIQuiJy of vision and begin 10 see
things right. He adds.
The first legal right of the people so
far as the prevalence or tuberculosis IS
concerned Is the right 10 know Lnfuu6 n
the government. when Us sluply qleLL
agent exactly where the organisms Whlcn
are responsible for the spread of disease
exist. This knowledge can only be lur-
nished by recurring the medical attend
ants oil all persons suffering from the
disease To report to the health authOrl-
purpose. the names and addresses of all
such patients as soon as the diagnosis
shall have been established. Without
such definite and trustworthy lnIofma-
zion. those who are placed iu charge OF
the lives and health of the people are
helpless
Regulations To prevent the spread Of
tuberculosis will prove to be more diff
cult 10 enforce than those relating TO
other infectious and contagious diseases.
Popular acquiescence IN the enIoi ee ..L,ii
of laws preventing tho spread of small
