east But, what excuse can be made
for the amazing declaration in favor Of
Canadian reciprocity issued few days
ago by the governor of the agricultural
state of South Dakota? 1t will bring
JOY TO the hearts of the Canadian grain
raisers, but grief and sorrow to every
farmer in this state.
He says: THE price of grain will not
be lowered in thiscounty by reciprocity
with Canada. The tariff of Is cents
per bushel is and always has has been
useless as regards Canada If reci-
procity will not reduce the price of
wheat and other South Dakota products
embraced in the proposed free list,
what is the purpose of the treaty? The
eastern consumer as we'll as President
Taft favors it for the purpose of reduc-
ing 'the cost of living" How can it
reduce "the cost Of living and not
reduce the price of wheat? On the very
day that Governor Vessev made his sur
prising statement, Clifford Sifton, a
CANADIAN statesman, declared at Ottawa
that instead of raising the price of
Canadian wheat TO the American level,
the great Canadian surplus will lower
the price Of American wheat to the
Canadian level" Thus corroborating,
by the way, similar prediction made
by the writer in recent letter to the
August Leader.
tremendous Loss to South Dakotans.
Duluth and Fort Williams are on the
opposite sides of the intern ational line,
at the head of Lake Superior and with
equal freights to Liverpool. The Win
nipeg prices are based upon delivery at
Fort Williams port. From July 10,
1909, to January %, 1911, the price of
wheat az Minneapolis averaged more
than l01a cents per bushel higher than
at Winnipeg or Fort William. The price
at Duluth averages more than = cents
above the. Minneapolis price. During
all that time there was, therefore, an
actual difference of more than II cents
per bushel in favor of the American
price. Since the reciprocity agitation
began, however, the American price
has been greatly reduced, and is now
about 3 cents higher than the Canadian
price, and as soon as the treaty goes
into effect, this difference will of course.
wholly disappear. South Dakota raised
az, 5SS, 900 bushels of wheat in 1909, and
this average amounted to nearly
So, 600, 900. For the week ending Dec
ember 81, 1910, the average wheat price
at Portal, N. D., was sc cents per
bushel, and at North Portal, just across
the line in Canada, about one-half mile
distant, the average price was rs cents
per bushel-an 11-cent margin in favor
of the American price.

If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt you,
And make allowance for their doubt
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about; don t deal in lies;
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating
And yet don't look too good nor talk
too wise
If you can dream and not make dreams
your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts
your aim;
If you can meet with triumphs and
disaster,
And treat both these imposters just
the same;
II YOU CdH Dear 10 near tne truth you We
spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for
fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life
to. broken,
And stoop and build them up with
WORKOUT tools.
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with kings-nor lose your
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can
hurt you,
If all men count with you but none
too much;
Ifyou can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth Of distance
run,
Yours is the earth and everything that's
it,
And. which is more, you'll be man,
my son.

The legislature has denied the rail-
road commissioners the right to ride on
passes. and has presented the railroads
with about 81, 500 to carry the commits
sioners. The idea, of course. is to
remove the communicating influence of
q pass from the men who must travel
about to look after railroad affairs. The
next thing some one win want the gem
eral government to pay the fare of thu
the railway postal clerks. A little later
the farmers will be allowed to charge
their hired men transportation for rid

The Reciprocity Treaty,

w. II. Lyon in Sioux Falls Argus
Leader: South Dakota farmers can
readily forgive President Taft for his
CANADIAN reciprocity treaty on account
of his environments, and the bitter and
unjustifiable criticism made against the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. He earnestly
desires to reduce the cost of living"
no demanded by the consumers of the
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1911-03-16

3, 800, 900 bushels of flax and 1859, 600
bushels of barley. Our increased price
Of % cents per bushel on flax and 70
cents on barley amounted to more than
So, 900, 600, thus making total price
advantage to us over the Canadian
market of approximately So, 900
upon wheat, flax and barley raised in
South Dakota in a single year. We
have little advantage on oat prices this
year owing to the enormous size of our
crop, and the great surplus for export
In 1909 this state raised 43, 500, 600 bush
els Of oats and for portion of the
selling season the American price was
nearly 10 cents per hushel higher than
the Canadian. and more than $780, 900
worth of Canadian oats came over the
line and paid our tariff of Is cents
per bushel. The present low price of
oats should serve to remind us of what
will happen every year when the Can
adam oat crop gains free entrance to our
markets and thereby establishes our
local price at the worlds level less
freight from Liverpool. For several
years our general average of prices for
oats, barley, flax and northern wheat
has been considerably above the worlds
level for the reason that all, or nearly
the entire crop, was consumed at home,
and that no cons derable surplus went
to foreign markets
And the governor of the state would
have US believe that the tariff against
Canadian grains is of no advantage to
the farmers of South Dakota.
Greater Yield of Canadian Grain.
He also says that mo country can
compete with us" in grain raising, and
that our land will produce against any
competition in the world" 1t is said
to be something excusable to deceive
others, but we are never justified in
lying to ourselves. Saskatchewan, one
of the great grain fields of Canada,
when thoroughly developed will, it is
believed, be able to produce 500, 900, 0C0
bushels of wheat (nearly one half the
present annual crop of the entire United
States). Their farmers use traction
engines, employ cheaper labor, have
lower taxes, and only pay about one
half the average rate of custom duties
as American farmers, and have cheaper
and more fertile land, and can and do
produce their crops at much lower
cost than the farmers of South Dakota
or of any part of the United States.
We have all heard of the almost fabu-
lous crops they can produce, 30 to 40
bushels of wheat, so to 60 bushels of
barley and rs to 100 bushels of oats per
acre. The average yield per acre, for
1909, as shown by the last year book of
the United States department of agri-
culture are as follows:

Beaten BY Team from Orangcburg
to ?.

In game fun OF errors made by
both teams and showing the inability
OF both teams to do any startling
work OF any kind, the Orangehurg
college defeated the Sumter yIigh
school baseball team on the local
baseball diamond Friday afternoon
by the score Of 6 TO 2. The field
work of the local boys was about as
poor as 1t could be, while that of
the opposing team was not up to par.
The batting Of the Sumter boys was
good to amount to no more than 1t
did and that of the Orangeburg col
lege team was Of the same order,
only little better. The game was
played mostly by the pitchers and
catchers Of the two teams, who were
the only persons on the team who
showed life and interest i'm the game.
The game commenced with the
visitors at the bat. In the first in
ming they made one score and threat
ened more but were held back. The
local boys started off with a two
base hit by Haynsworth which
amounted to nothing as the runner
never got any further. Both sides
were shut out in the second and
third innings, and in the fourth
Haynsworth weakened and the visi-
tors got enough hits to net them
three more runs. Sumter retaliat-
ed by making one score. The next
two innings were fast and good.
Sumter having rallied somewhat in
the field. and Jones made two pretty
stops and a double. In the sew
enth inning each side made one more
score. The game was called at the
end OF this inning. it having already
lasted for more than an hour and a
half and there being little chance of
the relative score of the two teams
being changed.
