Cottonwood Farmers
Organize Grain Go.

The fame of the kadoka grain
market as has been published in
the Press for the last three weeks,
has awakened the interest of the
grain producers over in the rorth-
western part of this county and in
the southwestern part OF Haakon,
and while the farmers interested,
are going to operate under some
what different plan than is done
here, the result will be the same,
and they will find that when they
receive returns for their shipments
they will have the elevator COM
panies prices beat from eight to
twelve cents per bushel. The Press
would hesitate in making this state
ment, had we not had the actual
experience and can name men from
this community who have shipped
their product this fall and who are
glad to bear US out.
The Press is indeed glad that il
has been able in a small way, tc
assist in securing a better market
for the Jackson county farmer fol
his small grain, and we are glad tc
see our old Cottonwood friends gel
busy and secure better price
than was heretofore offered them.

Cattle Die OF AnthriX

Cattle owners in the vicinity of
Owanka over in Pennington county,
are greatly alarmed as the result of
an epidemic of anthrax which has
broken out in that section, and
which they are afraid will result in
much loss among their cattle. The
total loss reported up to this time
is eleven head, all of these belong
ing to Roy Humphrey.
AS soon as the nature OF the dis
ease was suspected Deputy State
Veterinarian Edmiston was called,
and upon examination of the dead
cattle Immediately pronounced the
disease to be anthrax. All pos
sible precautions have been taken,
the carcasses of the dead cattle
have been burned. and the Hum
phrey cattle quarantined.

KadOka Commercial

Never in the history of kadoka
has better entertainment been
given to our citizens than was the
first number of the Kadoka Com
mercial Club Lecture Course,
which was rendered by the Hinton
Verdi Company at the opera house
on last Monday evening.
Pietro Verdi is certainly entitled
to be known as The One Man

lections which he rendered upon
his famous accordian, accompanied
by his electrical drums, and upon
the piano were treat to the au-
dience.
Miss Ethel Hinton the imperson-
ator, is without question one of the
greatest artists in her line, in the
west todayN The fact that she is
dated ahead for the coming two
years is evidence of this fact and
the hold she had upon her hearers,
is best explained when we say that
She moves them from laughter to
sorrow at her will.
This first number of the lecture
course had ought to make every
member of the Kadoka Commercial
Club--the organization that's max
ing it possible for our people to
have this high class entertainment
brought to us-feel good and should
spur every member on so that when
the second number is held, stand
ing room will be at a premium in
the hall.

South Dakota Is
Just In Its Infancy

To the recent dry farming con-
gress in Denver, Prof A. N. Hume
of South Dakota State College gave
a response to a toast to South Da-
kota. Without the slightest hesita-
tion, the Brookings agronomist de-
claimed his pride in South Dakota
and furthermore gave reasons for
faith that he felt in the future of
the state.
The total value OF eighteen groups
of products direct from the soil in
the United States, Mr.. Hume point
ed out, is five and half billion
dollar year. In addition animal
the soil aggregate 1T billion dol
lars. Every one of us consumes
an average of nearly so bushels per
year-directly or in meat products
and about g.. bushels of wheat.
From these figures, Prof. Hume
reasoned out the Importance OF
South Dakota as a producing
stete. Here are two paragraphs
from his address:
You have known of South Da-
kata as great wheat state. Visit
ors at the present Exposition and
Congress have questioned whether
South Dakota produces anything
much aside from wheat, Now you
know that South Dakota produces
more bushels of corn than she does
of wheat. One reasen why South
Dakota produces so much wheat
and such excellent wheat is that
she prodcces so much corn--pro-
duces wheat in rotation after corn.
And one reason why South Da-
kota produces so much corn is that
she is little farther north than the
state south of her, and a little
farther south than the state north
of her. South Dakota is in posi-
ton, not only 70 de hopanza farm
ing temporarily, but permanently
and increasingly, to take leading
position as producer of wealth"
Prof. Hume of course is right.
He might have gone farther and
shown what relatively small part
of the possibilities of this states
resources are being realized upon.
Further development of mixed
; farming" will make every acre un-
der cultivation at the present time
produce at least three times as
, much for the owner and for the
state. Then, it is doubtful if more
than a sixth of the tillable land of
the stateis is under actual cultivation.
Thus it will be seen that South
Dakota is today producing prob
| ably not to exceed 5 per cent of the
, direct output of which she is ca
/ pable Then, besides the crops
themselves, South Dakota has al
. most unlimited possibilities in the
+ raising of live stock of all kinds
, whereby to make use of rough feed
and by products of many kinds,
and also to increase the value of
the crops themselves and the pro-
| ductivity of the land. So it is not
| exaggerating to say that, consider
, ing branch and kind of farming and
+ stock-growing and dairying and al
, lied industries, South Dakota is not
doing to exceed 8 per cent to what
it will be doing from IS to so years
from now.
If there are any who believe this
too enthusiastic a statement, he
will be permitted to make formal
complaint so years hence that sub
sequent events have proved it to
be exaggerated. Until that time,
