FEEDING LIVE STOCK ON
FARMS is ROAD TO PROFIT

Mitchell, S. d, Feb. tone of the
best methods of rescuing themselves
from a losing grain market situation is
for South Dakota farmers to raise more
live stock and grow less wheat said
President E. c. Perisho, Of state coll
leSe, before the Live Stock Breeders
association at Mitchell on Wednesday.
President Perisho asserted that farmers
got $1,000,000, 900 less for their products
last ear than did the middlemen: that
although there is much talk of build
ing terminal elevators to break the
power controllNg the wheat market,
yet the farmer can do most for himself
by growing less wheat and more stock.
Few things are more absurd for a
state like South Dakota than to grow
a big wheat crop, sell it at a small
price and ship 1t to Minneapolis to be
ground into flour. Experiences in the
smallest price possible for the grain
and then, worst of all, they lose the by
products of the wheat.
"One of the most disastrous results
of this method of growing grain and
shipping it out of the state arises in
our inability to keep stock on the farm.
Had South Dakota last year fed the
grain which she shipped beyond the
boundaries Of he's state, we could easily
have maintained $50, 900 to 300. 900 more
cattle upc the farms OF the state.
When YOU stop to think what this
means to the wealth of the state. theTG
can be no argument of shipping grai,A
and not raising stock. With cattle and
hogs selling at the price which they
have the last few years. farmers have
done exceptionally well in feeding both
steers n hogs.
ESMOND-The farmers of this vicinity.
as the result of a meeting held here. have
organized a club, and will hold meetings
at intervals. at which various improved
methods of farming will be discussed. The
following officers were elected: President.

proof upon q homestead entry made
prior to June 6, 1912, is seven years
from the date of entry. In the case OF
