The Steer as an Asset

A farmer Of Charles NJ i x
county, II. j Hansen. sold a
bunch Of 81 steers recently at
1926 per head. bringing him a
money roll Of SO. $50. Mr. Han
sen should perhap be described
as a stock groWinl farmer, as
there is a marked difference be
tween a farmer Of that class and
one who soWs wheat and har-
vests disappointment.
He raises corn, hay and for.
age and ships them out IN the
form Of the most desirable mar
ket product that the farm can
produce steers worth $125 each.
Mr.. Hansen has kept the cost
Of raising the bunch Of steers
that he has recently marketed
and It Is his opinion that his pro
fit is 100 per cent. There Is no
other business in South Dakota
| that pays 80 high a margin Of
profit and it is a business so Iegi-
innate that Investigations and
courts would have no effect up
on 1t.
These South Dakota plains
were made for the precise puf-
pose for which Mr. Hansen has
employed them In their wild
condition they supported count
less herds Of buffalo, Of which
the domestic cattle Of today are
the natural successors.

growing farmer is said to be up
to. date in his methods He is

The Northwest Academy AS
ISOLATION, which was formed TO
found an institution to take the
place of High Schools, has ac-
otIired property for building
and is now excavatlng.
The lack of High Schools in
the entire northwestern section
of the state has compelled many
families to send their children
out of the county for instruction
which they should receive in
their own communities. and In
some cases the families are be
ing forced to accompany their
children which, of course. means
a loss to the country. North
west Academy Association was
expressly formed to relieve this
situation. not only by keeping
such families here. but also in
ducing others to settle here, who
for want of such education arr
now going to communities where
it can be obtained?

The Wheat
Growing Mistake

gone so far as to urge the Coy
ernor to call an extra session of
the legislature for the purpose
of making wheat raising a crime
in this state. If they do any,
thing at all the word attempt
ed' should be placed before the
words wheat raising" if they
expect to get any convictions.
But seriously. the farmers all
over the state of South Dakota
would be much better off if in
stead of fooling with the wheat
gamble they would turn their
attention to mixed farming.
An average of 10 bushels per
acre is about the best that can
be secured and lot of the time
the yield is away below that
figure. 1t is a crop that is at
| its most sensitive period of grow
tn every year at time when it
is most likely to encounter the
hazard of heat and dry weather
A few adverse days and the ab-
sence of moisture deprives the
plant of its vitality and then
there is no yield or very small
one.
Wheat is the worst sort of a
gamble anywhere and is always
the gamblers main standby, only
a few days ago a Chicago dis
patch says Rains in the spring
wheat belt led to weakness to-
day in the price of wheat. y The
day before, the operators on
change were betting that wheat
would be worth a stiff figure.
The next day they were betting
the other way because an inch
of rain had fallen in South Da-
kota.
The way we look at it is that
the farmer out this way has the
labor and risk end of an arrange
ment that gives all the profit to
the lucky manipulation at the
market end
There is a heap more in corn
for the man who produces 1t,
than there ever was in wheat.
J add to this alfalfa and winter
rye with small tract of oats or
barley as side issue, and you
have as near a sure thing as it is
possible to get, season by season.
They can be transformed into
beef, pork and dairy products
on our farms and there is always
an unfailing demand on the mar
ket for these products.
/ There is but very little wheat
raised now in the southeast cor
ner of the state. They abandon
ed it there a long time ago and
today you will find the farmers
in that section generally prosper
Gus. in fact, many Of them are
rich and they have improved the
richness of their soil by the
methods they employed.
The same opportunities are
present to the farmers of this
section. We have natural al
faIfa country and a good corn
growing country. Why waste
the years and impoverlsh our
selves and our land on protitless
wheat growing.

Fourteenth Lesson

The politician has always
said so.
O. Is this proof positive?
