A NEW RECORD

A new record for Brookings county
land was hung up this week, when the
Koester farm, a couple of miles east OF
the city was sold by Mr.. Crosser to c.
A. Johnson of Sioux Falls, the con.
sideration being $139 an acre. Mr..
Crosser bought the farm two years
ago for 1924 an acre, a price that was
Sc high at that time that it was
thought it would be years before it
would go higher. Now it is safe to
predict that this same farm, which is
one of the finest in the county, will
bring $3.50 inside of a year or two. Mr..
Johnson, however, is not anxious to
sell his new property, but will move
here in the fall and occupy it. He also
purchased an eighty from John Rhu.
tassel, just across the road from the
Crosser farm, paying $105 an acre for
it. Both deals were made by II. G..
Williams.

FARMING

A dispatch from Pierre says that
among the applicants for farm work TO
the state immigration department was
Paul Luyken, a young German. who
wanted a place on a farm but was not
apparently in a rush to go to work,
being willing to wait for the harvest
time. He went to the Hurlburt demon
stration farm north of Pierre for a few
days, and then goes to the State Col
lege at Bro kings for another stay
before ging to work on a farm in Deuel.
county. While not communicative, his
statements indicated that he is more of
an investigator than farm hand, and
that he either represents the German
government, or some association in
that country for the study of American
farm methods.

PERISHO WRITES

The Register is in receipt of a letter
from Dean Perisho, the newly elected
president of the State College, in
which he says in part: Il am coming
to your city to be one of you and to
truly cooperate with your people and
all the state in helping to maintain
the high character of work of the col
lege, and to enlarge it's field of useful
ness when and where it can be done.
Nothing has so pleased and encourag-
ed me as the hearty assurance of loyal
cooperation of the faculty of the
State College, along with similar let
ters from so many citizens of Brook
ings and of the entire state. Every in
dication points toward a most success
full future for our State College. l
will be very happy if ! may be one OF
the many to help in this important
work. The than two hundred
letters of best wishes and pledges of
loyalty which l have received in the
last ten days gives me great confidence
in the future, and assures me that the
entire state takes a great interest in
her State College"

is contained in a communication from
an Arizona Indian chief, read in the
senate a few days ago, in which the
claim was made that the national for.

say that his people could not compete
with the white man as stock-raisers,
and made a plea for money a%ppropria-

The annual meeting of the South Da-
kota Winnipeg to Gulf Highway Asso-
citation will be held in Brookings next
Saturday. This will be n of the most
important good road meetings of the
year, and a large attendance is look.
ed for. However, the attendance de-
ponds wholly upon the woatber, as the
delegates will come across the coun-
try by %autoes, but If the roads are good
Brookings will be called upon to en-
terrain a good big crowd. DR.. Harris.
who is secretary of the association.
tells us that there is much interest in
the meeting and he expects that near
ly every town on the route will be
represented.
The Winnipeg to Gulf Route is one
of the most important highways in the
country and will be one of the first
roads to receive national and state aid.
1t is therefore necessary that the COM
ing meeting should be a successful
one, and Brookings people can do their
share to make it so. They can do this
by coming out to the meeting and
demonstrating to the delegates that
Brookings is interested in the cause
of good roads and will do it's share to
promote it.
The Brookings Commercial Club has
made arrangements to have the road
fifteen miles south and fifteen miles
north dragged and put in shape before
the meeting.
Secretary Harris gives us the follow
ing program for the meeting, which
will be held at the assembly room OF
the city hall, beginning at two o'clock:

A A BIG TIM

Last nights Northwestern from
Brookings brought home forty-five
boys of Codington county, all sons of
farmers living about Watertown, who
had been attending the first annual
Codington county Boys Agricultural
camp at the State College at Brook
ings. Every last one of the youths
was bubbling over with spirits, al
though tired, and were enthusiastically
recounting their experiences and the
good time they had enjoyed at the
camp. So great was the success of
the affair that it is planned to make
the boys camp at the State College
annual.
A. w. Palm, county better farming
agent, was in charge of the boys, and
was kept thoroughly busy looking
after his large family. However the
boys were not the trouble in discipline
that would be supposed and during the
five hours of study each day worked
with the same vigor they showed in
the various sports enjoyed during the
encampment. Baseball, volley ball,
track contests and wrestling matches
took up all the time hat could be
spared from the periods allotted to the
study of soils, stock and crops and re-
suited in enormous appetites and
sound sleep. All the boys were housed
in the big gymnasium of the college
and fed at the same place.
The use of the moving picture as an
educator was brought in with good
effect during the four days camp.
Charles McCaffree, immigration com,
missioner, delivered an illustrated lee
ture to the boys Tuesday evening and
the following morning showed a NOV
ing picture at one of the theatres in
Brookings which gave views of the
corn contest in Minnesota, work in
stock judging and other subjects of
interest.
In the track meet which was held
during the camp Sidney Burke took
the honors in the standing broad jump,
Bernard O.Neill was first in the 100
yard dash, and first in the running
broad jump. Mr.. Palm says the time
was not kept on Bernard in the 100
yard dash and explains the deficiency
thus: A toy pistol was used in start
ing, said Mr.. Palm, and by the time
the noise of it's explosion had reached
the time-keeper Bernard had already
crossed the line and so it was impos-
sible to keep time on him.
One Of the best results of the camp
was to get every boy acquainted with
all the others attending the camp, in
healthy outdoor sport and study and
in inspiring the young men with the
things left for them to accomplish.
Every boy is anxious to attend such
a camp again next year M many of
them expressed their intention of at
tending the agricultural school of the
State College mex winter.-Water-

CHAUTAUoUA IN PROGRESS
Week Of Good Things Commenced at
the Pavilion Tuesday Afternoon

The Brookings C~hautauqua opened
for its eight days program on Tuesday
afternoon. The program so far has
been splendid, and the attendance is
large enough so that it will pay out
all right.
The first number on Tuesday was
Liberati's Band and Grand Opera Com
pany, which gave the afternoon and
evening programs. This is one of the
fines musical organizations that has
ever appeared in Brockings and their
entertainment was highly pleasing.
The band is splendidly conducted and
is made up of artists. the baritone play
er being particularly good. The singers
were exceptionally good, and their
work was a big feature of the program.
There was a good audience present in
the afternoon, and in the evening the
pavilion was packed and many had
to stand.
Yesterdays program vas of a differ
ent nature, but was just about as good.
Judge Sadler of the Chicago criminal
court. gave an interesting lecture in
the afternoon of his experiences, and
in the evening DR.. John A. Gray gave
an entertaining address. Miss La Dell,
the reader, who furnished the preludes
for the day, was about as good an
entertainer as has ever appeared at
this c~hautauqua.
Some of the best numbers are yet
to some and if the program holds up
as well as the first two days it will be
very satisfactory.
