These contributions are receiv.
ed from fully $50 donors in differ
ent parts of the State, among
which we note the following from
Grant parish: From Colfax-G.
H. Mcknight, $500; Florine
Mcknight, Csc; Mrs. G.. H. Nc
Knight, SOC; Mrs. Earl Roberts,
$500; Mrs. M. E. Tooraen, So. 90,

well, $1.00: Mrs. S. E. LaCroix,
$3.50 total, $26.0O. From Pol
lock, $50. From Selma-La
dies Aid, box clothing outfits for
children; community at large,
$2.75; Sunday school, $1.5O.
The announcement is made that
the institution is now out of debt,
thanks to many liberal donations,
but the needs of the Orphanage
are greatly increased. The pres
ent buildings are totally made
quate, compelling the refusal of
nine out of ten of the applications
that are made for a home. This
is a crying shame, and shows the
great need for another large
building. There are now 100
children to be cared for, and it
takes all that can be raised to
take care of them. In fact, the
management stresses the present
need for funds to pay current ex-
penses, and February and March
bills cannot be paid until the long
deferred help from the Easter
Sunday school contributions are
in hand. Therefore the churches
and Sunday schools are urged to
afford all the help they possibly
can to this worthy institution.

5rookings County Ranks High
Brookings county made an enviable
record as a dairy center during 1915
producing 5317O.OOO pounds of milk;
1862 639 pounds Of butter and 1856, 716
pounds of cream sold, the average Civ
ing the county second place in the
state
Minnchaha county came first in the
production of milk with 5S,171 900 and
Beadle second with 54,312,OOO pounds.
Bon Homme county first in butter with
1856 .G26 pounds and Brookings second.
Minnehaha produced 2,7S0,427 pounds
o fcream sold and Brookings second
with 1656,7l6 pounds sold.
The total value Of the dairy returns
to Bookings county is estimated at
$1,27O, 65023 for twelve months. This
enormous return came from the small
number of 1854 COWS.
The entire state produced 1,621235,-
600 pounds of milk during the year, an
increase Of 96l sos, SSS pounds in five
years. The total milk came from
1925, 427 cows, being 44,337 fewer than
five years ago The figures are re-
markable in that they indicate that
the production more than doubled
since 1910 and on 44.337 fewer COWS at
that. This fact shows the enormous
rate at which the herds of the state
were improved by introducing better
bred animals and the services of ex-
pert dairymen.
Sure Returns From Dairy Farming
When 1t comes to security from the
efforts of wet and dry seasons; early
and late frosts; to profitable farm en-
plOyment the whole year and profit
able utilization Of all feeds raised;
paying off debts and accommodating
nice bank account; increasing the pro-
ductiveness of the land; and to the up
building of farm homes, it is pretty
hard to beat the dairy business.
We should be appreciative, not only
of the progress that has been made,
but also of the many unused dairy OPP
portunities that still remain in the
Sioux Valley.

DAIRYING IN THE SIOUX VALLEY

(By Prof. C. Larsen, State College.
Brookings)
Those who have lived in the Sioux
Valley for any length of time are I'M
animous in saying that the dairy in
dustry has made sure and steady ad-
vancements. Cows and other kinds of
livestock are increasing in NUMBER
and improving in quality. The cows
that used to roam the prairie, and pro.
duce only calf during the year are
rapidly being replaced by cows that
produce about 800 pounds of butterfat
In addition to the calf each year. AL
falfa and other tame grasses are TAX
ing the places of the prairie grass. The
one crop system of farming is being
replaced with variety and rotation of
crops.
Oalrying Good Way to Market
There was a time when the grain
was hauled and sold directly from the
threshing machine, when farming was
done In about FIVE summer months
each year. and the keeping of dairy
cows was a neglible factor on the
farms. Now variety of grain and
rough feed is raised with a view of
growing a balanced ration for the
dairy and other kinds of stock, and the
IL months in each year are being made
productive.
Siios and Barns Are Assets
With this change in COW and crop
