SCHOOL LANDS have
LEASED At s. an acre

PIERRE, S. D., Dec 2l.--The COM
missioner of Schools and public lands
in his report, Just issued, states that
during 1912, 7,32656 acres Of state
land were leased for farming pur.
poses, for an aggregate Of $17,630.5S,
all of it being located in good farm
ing communities, there being a mini.
mum rate Of 81 per acre fixed by the
new law for the leasing of 1t. The
rental received from the common
school lands was $329,371.96 for 1912,
an increase Of $52,79S.74 over che re-
ceipts for 1911.
It is more remarkable because Of
the extremely dry season of 1911 leas-
ing conditions were very unfavorable
and because 22,459.4S tacres Of the
land owned by the state for this pur-.
pose in 1911 we're sold and therefore
could not be leased in 1912. In all
396,096.76 acres Of common school
lands have been sold since statehood,
for $9,O37, 1850 at an average price
of $22.S2 per acre, and the sales Of
the endowment lands aggregates 81
1O6,075.33, making permanent fund
of $10,143, ,S31 .23
About a third Of this sum is still
outstanding on deferred payment, but
the balancing two-thirds Is all loaned
out at FIVE per cent. The commission
er states that he believes that South
Dakota's school fund of over ten mil
lion dollars has had : decidedly bene-
fetal effect in keeping down the rate
Of interest exacted by private loan
concerns.

A Delaware farmer who signs him
self &C., wrote letter to one OF
he Philadelphia newspapers recent
y, in which he commented on the
increased cost OF living, and the
part played in it by the farmer
He said:
so Tar as the. profits to him are
concerned the farmer can see no
reason why the cost of living should
be higher than heretofore. Wheat
is less than a dollar. "a bushel-a

be higher than formerly Y II the
farmer has bee( to self he gets
about the same s..old price. Hogs
have for many years sfluctuated be
tween four and nine cents. Eggs
are always high in winter and low
in summer - high when he
has few to sell, and low when he
has plenty.
One sometimee reads OF apples
selling for five cents each, and it
is beyond dispute that they do sell
for that price very frequently, but
the farmer sells then at about fiji
teen for a nickel; sometimes he
can't get that price, for them. When
ever you hear OF five cent apples
and twenty five cent beef and
twenty five cents per peck potatoes
you can put it down that the farm
er is not getting it.

OK that supplies the blood to ev-
erything that lights on him, but
