Road Should Be Posted


The auto road between this place
and Kadoka should be posted with
signs telling the tourists the best
road to take and where the finest
scenery can 'be seen. This would
not cost the people of Interior
much and would bring many more
tourists this way. Steel posts
should be planted in the ground
with steel sign boards on, so that
they could not be destroyed.
The past week has seen a great
many tourist cars in our little
burg, but almost invariably they
have told us that people in our
neighboring town have tried to get
them to pass up the Bad Lands
and go to Cottonwood and down
the Black and Yellow trail. 1t is
high time the Scenic Highway
should be advertised and that part
from the edge of the Bad Lands
to the Black Hills boosted, not
only by the towns that are in the
heart of the Bad Lands, but our
neighbor towns to the east. If we
expect to succeed ourselves, we
cannot do it by downing a neighbor.
Come out of it friends, and don Z
begrudge your neighbor little of
the good fortune that sometimes
falls your wav.
1t would not cost the business
men of this town over five dollars
to mark the road from here to Ka-
doka, and in single season you
would be many times repaid.
The above from the last weeks
Interior Index gives that papers
idea OF why their town is losing
much of the patronage of tourists
who are seeing the west river coun-
try this summer. We fully agree
with the Index when it SAYS that
the Scenic highway from Interior
to kadoka should be marked. The
road from here to Weta is fairly
good but from Weta west to within
five miles east of Interior, it is bad
and should be fixed at once by the
proper authorities. AS to that part
of the article wherein Bro. Will
Jams speaks of the towns east ad-
vising the tourists to pass up the
Scenic highway and go to Cotton
wood from this point, and then on
west via the Black and Yellow
route may be true, and if it is we
hope that the piece of road referred
to by us will be fixed at once in
order that the tourists may travel
the Scenic highway and see the
great sights that are in the Bad
Lands. The Press man has taken
it upon himself to talk to several
tourists during the past ten days
and we find that most of them have
received their information about
the Scenic route from this place
west. at points on the route as far
east as Chamberlain.

the wheat crop until at this time it
ranges about 80 bushels per acre.
On the farm of Purdue university,
where conditions are similar to
those of a large area of wheat lands
through a good rotation of crops
and proper fertilization the average
yield OF wheat for the past thirty
years has reached twenty eight bu-
shells per acre. These, with other
examples clearly demonstrate that
it is possible to materially increase
the yield of wheat throughout the
country. "
Prof. Christie then told how 238
farmers in Indiana grew five acres
of corn each last year, from which
an average yield of 72.4 bushels
per acre was obtained, or Just about
NOuOlC tue dNSidBC NlCld Vi tue
state. The average cost of produc-
ing an acre of corn in Indiana is
SIo.I6 or 37.Io cents a bus hel.
The 238 farmers who raised 72.4
bushels per acre did so at an av-
erage cost of 1882 per acre or 1876
cents per pushel, showing clearly
that the high yields are not only
profitable because there is a greater
net profit on each bushel produced.
Prot Christie explained the import
ance and development of the county
agent movement throughout the
country at considerable length and
pointed out how the county agent
works in connection with other
agencies to bring about better
schools, better churches, better
roads and recognition of the coun-
try's greatest business and indust-
ry-agriculture.

Insurance Companies
Pay State Large Sum

The last fiscal year ending June
goth, was the most prosperous IN
the history OF the state insurance
department. The total fees paid
by insurance companies amounted
to S35, 5000. The department
expenses amounted to only Sra
3o7.65, leaving profit OF S22, PSI
S., which is turned into the state
general fund. The tax paid by
the insurance companies amounted
to $3.50, 800 SO. Out OF this, S27,
o3o,o4 was distributed to the fire
departments Of towns in South
Dakota. The balance of SIoo, e.
868.65 was profit and turned into
the general fund. The entire net
fees and taxes, representing the
surplus above expenditures, was
SI32, 20, the largest amount in
the history of the state. The en-
tire cost OF the 1915 legislative
session was sos, ,I86 IS, so the
profits of the insurance department
for one year alone will pay the en-
tire expenses of the Legislature and
have a surplus of nearly $40, 900. =

The New Agriculture

The present high cost of living
would indicate that the production
of food products is not keeping
pace with consumption. To-day.
there is but little new agricultural
territory to be developed in the
United States and the increase in
farr, products for the future must
come in large measure, from land
already under cultivation, " said
Prof. G. |. Christie who is in charge
of the agricultural extension work
at Purdue university, before the
National Fertilizer association con-
vention here today. The New
Agriculture" was the subject of
his address.
Agriculture in the state and
country, and the farms must be
brought to high state of produc-
tivity to meet the demands of the
rapidly increasing population. 1t
is a problem oil industrial efficiency
as well as that of social co-opera-
ton, continued Professor Christie.
Comfortable homes, the best OF
schools, community churches, COM
munity centers, good roads and a
more permanent and satisfying So
cial life must be provided for. This
can only be done when the Land
owners and their families are will
ing to remain on the farm and eX-
pend their energy and money in the
building up and maintaining OF
rural institutions"
The large and rapidly increas-
ing population makes an unprece-
dented demand upon the farmers
for food stuffs. A study OF statis-
tict shows the population of the
United states has practically doub-
led every twenty-five years. A few
years ago new states and territories
were being occupied and an in
creased supply of farm products
placed upon the market. This ac-
quiring and developing OF new land
did much to keep production ahead
of consumption and meet the needs
of an increasing population" con-
tinued the speaker.
The average yield of wheat in
the United States for the past ten
wears was I4.8 bushels per acre.
A few years ago the yield of wheat
in New England and Germany was
really lower than they found in the
United States. Through fertiliza-
tion and better crop system, these
countries have been able to gradu-
ally increase the average yield of

the acre than most any other forage
crop he has been able to run them
on. 1t is splendid milk producer
and would produce an endless
amount of honey when i'll bloom if
he wanted to keep a few hives OF
bees. One great factor in favor
of the sweet clover that is pointed
out by the booster is the fact that
cattle will not bloat when pasturing
it at any time while alfalfa is very
dangerous owing to the rapid bloat
it will cause when wet with dew or
rain. .-Wasta Gazette.

Picnic For Old Settlers
Contributed.

Contributed.
One of the most pleasant events of
the season in our part OF the county
occurred July 23rd, when between
seventy and a hundred of the earlier
settlers of this community gathered
on the banks of Franklin Greek, near
the f. /, Wray home, with we'll filled
baskets and happy hearts in honor
of Mr.. and Mrs. Livermore and child
rem of Garretson, S. u. These people
will be remembered as having a gen
eral store out west of town where we
bought our "bacon and beans and
other necessities during the pioneer
days. Mr.. LivermOre was our first
postmaster where we went TO get our
mail and at that place we were very
seldom allowed TO return TO our
homes without refreshments. This
was on their homestead home which
they called Willard. We were all
glad to welcome our old time friends
for as a noted writer has said, There
are no greater miracles known to
earth than perfection and an un-
broken friendship. We do not lay
claim to the former but we do TO the
latter, for Mr.. and Mrs. Liyermore
always had the interest of their fri
ends at heart. From Kadoka they
left for a trip thru the Black Hills,
the Yellowstone Park and other
points of interest in the north west.
A most pleasant time, is reported by
those in attendance.

The boon His love has given,
And though her body slumbers here,
Her soul is safe in Heaven"

DIVIDE YEARS INTO "CYCLES"
Chinese Have Custom Which Is Un
like That of Any other People
on the Earth.

Among the many extraordinary Gus
toms of the Chinese Is that Of band
ing years together in groups of twelve,
called cycles" and naming each year
OF the series after some animal. Thus,
the first year of new cycle Is the
year of the rat, the second the year
OF the OK, tho third the year OF the
tiger Every Chinese born in the year
of tho rat belongs to the Order OF the
Rat, and so on. The animal class or
every Chinese man and woman Is thus
recorded, and is hello to be OF great
importance In foretelling the future.
Another curious fact about the Chi
nese reckoning OF time Is that In the
Celestial empire child Is held to be
one year old as soon as born with
the absurd superstition so dear to the
oriental mind, baby boy is frequent
ly given n girls name In order to de-
ceive the evil spirits. who apparently
have an objectional habit OF making
IL as hard as possible TO rear male
child successfully.
