FARM IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIA.
TION LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR INCREASE OF 1000
ACRES.

Redfeld, S. D.-The Sphinx County
Farm Improvement Association has
justified its existence by the results
accomplished this spring in it's al
falfa campaign. The alfalfa acre
age of the county will be more than
doubled this year. County Agent
Hall reports that 200 pounds of al
falfa seed has been distributed daily
for the past two weeks, and a total
of 10000 pounds has already been
sown by Sphinx county farmers. AL
most half of this was seed grown in
the county and the balance is all dry
land seed secured by the association
and handled without the middle
mans profit direct from the grower
to the farmer. BY the middle of
June it is estimated that 1000 acres
will be added to the county's total
acreage

Louis j. Welch, trustee in BANK

City man to Mr.. Truax on November
26, 1909. Last October, the petition

about S150,000. Mr.. Truax, as one
of the members of the firm, paid from
his own pocket his share of its obli-

A PROTEST.

Mount Carmel, S. G., Oct. rs, 1915.
Hon. J. M. Lawson, County Superin-
tendent of Education, Abbeville,
S. G.. ..
Dear Sir:-I recently received let
ter from the State Superintendent of
Education with reference to the Mt.
Carmel Graded School not showing
as large enrolment as it formerly
did. Of course there are number
of good and sufficient reasons for
this falling off, but after looking
through the text books which are
now in use in our rural schools, l am
rather surprised that we have as
many scholars as we do. ID.
My little girl (nine years of age)
has progressed to the third grade.
She has attended school two years,
and of course must make one grade
each year. How she managed to
yet through those first two grades will
always remain mystery to me. How
ever, her mother is now fairly well
acquainted with these first two text
books after many strenuous hours
spent each night. That my daughter
or anyone else's daughter could have
learned these two books in the first
two years taschool was not to be ex-,
pected. e# -,
Today, have examined the Third
Book, which is the "Heart of Oak,
Third Book by Chas. Elliott Norton.
About the only good thing about this
book is the binding which is fairly
good quality. ',t'a u
The book is simply collection Of
Fairy Tales of the kind most un-
suited to children of eight or nine
years of age. ' "A
Listen at this: 4, -

first prose article is a Japanese Fairy
tale in which the little one is invited
to visit the "sea-Gods Palace Be-
yond the Waves. Later on we
have "Rumpel-Stilts-Kin," and cali
Baba Or the Forty Thieves" u
The book is full of words and ex-s
pressions that no. child of eight years
could or should understand. They.
will simply menorize it by listening
to their parents read it over and man,
age to worry along through the
year and get into the next grade. j

right, but it is exactly opposite to.

beseech them to buy land-not large
farms which will hamper them In
their efforts and involve them in
debts which are hard to pay, but in
small farms. If you are honest, if
you are industrious, if you deserve
a home and want it, there are those
who will help you, if you will only
help yourself. You need not say
that you would do this, or the other
thing, if the government would help
you; you must do it yourself. The
government may make credit condi-
tions better, and thereby make the
burdens of debt easier to bear; the
government may even devise some
way to enable home-seekers to pur-
chase their own lands, but the gov
ernment cannot buy the lands and
give them to you; you can only look
to yourself for the essential require
ments for the production of wealth,
and the means to pay, which are
hard work, economical living, and
sound farming methods.
We said to buy small farms, and
we repeat that. There is no need
to pay for two acres of land for a
purpose when with the same labor,
the same fertilizers, the same
thought, but with better methods,
you may raise on one acre what has
heretofore been raised on two or even
three. The man who purchases fifty
or one hundred acres of tillable lands
today, and who scientifically farms
and improves these acres, will be an
Independent farmer, and rich man,
according to present standards, with
in a period of twenty years.. It is
easy to buy and pay for these acres
at twenty or twenty-five dollars per
acre, but it will not be so easy to
pay one hundred dollars, or perhaps
two hundred dollars per acre for the
same lands twenty years from to-
day. You will then be paying for
some other mans work, thought and
industry, which today you may con-
tribute yourself. +"
The opportunity offers today. Look
not to the government, but to your
self, and buy land, young man. Own
your own home. Acquire that in
feeling for yourself, your
wife and your children, and that
love of country and state and COM
munity which a man can only feel
when he owns the ground on which he
lives and works and thinks.
