been most liberal with their farmer pa
irons in the matter of extending credit
and furnishing capital for their farm
ing operations. Especially have they
been most e~nterprising in securing n
bringing into the state the necessary
live stock for the most profitable con-
duct of the farm. In many lccalltles
bankers have taken the initiative IN
this respect and have gone themselves
to Minnesota, Wisconsin, II olher
states and have purchased carloads OF
dairy cattle, selling them to farmers IN
their community and giving them SUI
icient time for payment so that the
profits from the milk and butter II
the increase of the herd would pay the
obligation when it fell due. such en-
terprise on the part of the bankers is

Sometimes the thought Of whether
our republic will endure. or not, comes
to most every one. Recently Cardinal
Gibbons said in his article, -Four
Hopes of the Republic" that the future
of u republic rested upon: THE wis
dom of rulers; an efficient defense;
patriotism of the people; and an over
ruling providence" lie said: For
myself, l do not share in those gloomy
forebodings. | have an abiding faith
in the performance of our republic;
believe that many generations to come
will see the Stars and Stripes floating
over a free and enlightened people
And a y further that: My second
hope rests upon the intelligence and
patriotism of the American people.
They fully appreciate the civil bless
ings which they enjoy, and they Will
not permit those privileges to be
snatched from them without defending
them with their lives" He closes by
saying thar u government is based
upon religious, upon Christian princi-
pie. and that righteousness exalteth a
nation; but sin maketh a people miseE-
able.

SOUTH DAKOTA GETTING RICH

Farmer and Breeder:
According to an official report issued
from Pierre the bank deposits of
South Dakota now exceed 100 million
dollars and show an increase Of prac-
tically seven million dollars since a
year ago. As South Dakota is a com
partively new state and has not yet
developed many manufacturing indus
tries, the deposits in the banks must
necessarily very largely represent de-
posts made by farmers. Seven mil
lion dollars is a most wonderful in
crease for a single year and certainly
speaks well for the thrift and industry
of the farmers of the state.
While, as stated, South Dakota is
one of the youngest of the sisterhood
of states, no state has been more for
tunate in the class Of people who set
tied there. The immigrants to South
Dakota who took up the farms and
made homes there and who have been
instrumental in the growth and de-
largely from Iowa. Minnesota and
other Corn Belt states where farming
methods were largely the same that
would be required in the development
of the new state. They were, as a
rule. courageous. young and ambitious
people and went TO that state with a
determined purpose to succeed in
what they undertook. They had b en-
accustomed 10 the keeping of live
stock on the farm in the old home and
had learned by experience that sue
cessful agriculture could not be per
manently maintained without live
stock. OF course, il was necessary
when going to the new country to first
open up the farms, subdue the land
build houses and barns, and in many
other respects prepare the way before
engaging in live stock raising to any
large extent. but gradually a marked
change in the methods of farming has
taken place. Almost exclusive grain
farming has given way to a combina
ton of grain and live stock farming
This evolution has added greatly to
the prosperity and wealth of the state
1t is doubtful if any state in the
Union has bought more pure bred
stock or has been more active in the
improvement Of its live stock during
the past 10 years than South Dakota
She is rapidly taking a high rank
among the great live stock producing

1t sometimes happens that those
who are the most in favor of Main

The future success OF the farmers Of
South Dakota, and that of farmers OF
other states for that matter, lies al
most wholly in, whether or not, they
adopt intensive farming methods. The
fact that land has been SO plentiful,
and the fact hat it yields well, has
led many farmers to take as much land
as they can buy, or lease. Wages have
increased and returns decreased. This
brings out the necessity of smaller
farms and intensive farming methods.
On another page is an account of a
Nebraska farmer who has received the
title from our Federal government as
the most successful farmer in the
United States" The system of this
farmer is nothing new. He see the
need of concentrating his efforts on a
small plot of ground and making it
yield TO the limit. Few business men
attempt to follow lines greater than
their capacity and there is no reason
why a farmer should attempt to do so.
Farming is a business just as much as

The state of Florida has started a
rather novel movement in the appoint
ment of a Florida First Commission
The duties of the commission are to
try to get every citizen Of the state,
both in his public and private capacity,
to boost for the state in every manner
possible, to advertise it, to induce peo-
pie to become investors and to assist
in the development Of its many re-
sources. The movement is a com
mendable one and if the commission
is composed of live and energetic
members there is a possibility that
the state of Florida may outstrip some
of it's n~eighbors in its material ad-
vancement in the near future.
Our city has an organization which
is trying to do the same thing for
Bookings as the Florida commission
is trying to do for its own state. If we
should adopt a "Brookings First" slo'
gan and try to live up to it the city
would make a much more creditable
growth in the next decade than it did
in the last one. If every citizen coulo
be induced to trade at home, quality
of goods and prices of the same being
equal in degree to outside offers, VT
would soon have a much larger bust
ness section than we have at present
and a prospect of a few blocks Of paw
ing. We cannot ask the lot owner!
on our business streets to go to the
expense of paving a few blocks for the
