ADVERTISING BY THE CARLOAD

The Aberdeen News a y that from
the consignment Of catalogues which
have reached the city for distribution
mail order houses are evidently fgur-
ing upon getting their quota Of bust
ness from South Dakota this fall. Yes
terday another carload of catalogues
reached here by freight from one Of
the big eastern houses for distribution
over the northern part Of the state.
This makes the seventh carload dis
pensed from Aberdeen this year., while
similar consignments have been sent
to the other large cities in the state for
their allotment to their communities.
And according to the freight depart
ment of the Milwaukee, yesterdays
carload does not terminate the cata-
logue shipments. They have been ad-
vised that at least two more carloads
will be sent here for distribution.
Nine carloads of catalogues to one
town in South Dakota! Just think OF
1t! Can you realize the amount of
money this represents? Yet the mer-
chant who spends 800 to $500 a year
in judicious advertising in his home
paper m nearer reaching the con
sumer than the catalogue house and
should have a decided advantage in
keeping trade at home.
The Register prints 1900 papers
every week at least 1900 OF which are
circulated in Bookings county and i'm
mediate vicinity and we doubt II there
is any other medium or method of ad-
vertising which our business men can
use to better advantage for the money
invested.
The catalogue house must be reckon
ed with when our big crop is converted
into cash and our advice to the local
merchant is-stock up and then adver-
tise-its the only way to beat them
to It.

The eastern quarter and the Black
Hills section. Results at Brookings
and Newell have shown winter wheat
to be more productive than spring
wheat, while at Highmore and
Eureka, the reverse Is true,
3. Does winter wheat rust?
Yes, but owing to its early ripening
1t has never been seriously injured by
rust at Brookings, where rust has
often been severe on the spring wheat.
4. Has any method of winter protec-
ton been devised that has been sue
cessful in preventing winter killing in
the central section?
Yes, by mulching in November, 1914,
at Eureka with three loads Of straw
per acre, spread evenly, the wheat
came through the winter with a per-
feet survival. The straw must be
spread evenly. II punched it may
smother the wheat in ome places and
fail to protect 1t In others.
S. What is the best way to prepare
the soil for winter wheat?
BY growing a clean cultivated corn
crop.
6. When should winter wheat be
sown?
September is the normal time for
seeding.
Z. How much winter wheat should
be sown per acre?
Four to five pecks in the east and
three to four pecks in the west.
8. When sowing in standing corn,
what implement is used?
A One-horse, five hole drill.
9. Can the stalks be removed from
corn ground that is sown to winter
wheat?
In the eastern section, Brookings ex-
p~erience shows that if the binder is
tilted high so as to leave as much
stubble as possible, the stalks may be
removed. In the central section,
Eureka and Highmore results show
that the stalks must be left to protect
the wheat and even then the crop may
winter kill.
10. Is there any method by which
sufficient moisture may be assured to
terminate winter wheat in the fall?
Yes, clean cultivated ORR ground
or summer fallow are almost certain
to have enough moisture to terminate
the seed in the fall.
IL. Can winter wheat be sown into
spring grain stubble without blowing?
Yes. The difficulty is that there may
be no fall rains to terminate the seed
or there may be too many weeds to
permit a thorough job of seeding.
IL. Can winter wheat be seeded on
fall plowed spring grain land?
In the eastern section yes, in the
central and western sections, no. Fall
plowed land should be narrowed, roll
ed, narrowed again and seeded with
a double disc drill about three inches
deep, drilling east and west so as to
put the wheat seed at the bottom of
small trenches with ridges between
running cross ways with the prevailing
winds. This has protected the wheat
plants and four successive successful
crops have been grown at Brookings
by the method.

issued by Agronomy Department, CIV

WHITE

From the Leader:
With the exception of Brookings the
city of White has got all the towns of
the county beaten for increase in popu-
lation from 1910 to 1915. Aurora
shows an increase of Al. Volga As,
Elkton 26, Bruce sc and White 113.
Our little city would have made a
still better showing if there had been
plenty Of dwellings here for families
who would like to have moved in.

Local sportsmen are wondering just
when the season for hunting game
birds opens. The government protect.
i've law which is supposed to hold
precedence over a state law, says that
you can hunt migratory birds on Sep
TENDER 7th while the state law forbids
hunting until September 10th. Most of
the hunters will probably stay on the
safe side and not hunt until the 10th,
but every one expresses a devout wish
that the federal and state authorities
would get together and cut out the
conflicting dates.

We are in receipt of the April Bull
letin for the South Dakota State Col
lege this week. This is their regular
Annual Catalogue and should have
been out in June. The damage being
done to state institutions by irrespon'
sible printers under the state printing
law Is almost irreparable. Costly de,
lays, cheap stock and bum work can
hardly compensate the state for the
pretended economy now going on in
the public printing department.
