CAPITAL STOCK NOW 500, 900

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Bank of Brookings
Tuesday night the capital stock of the
institution was raised from $40, 900 to
100000. A number of other change
were made, among the officers and di-
rectors of the institution.
The same directors we're elected
with the exception of |. e. Lees, who
resigned from the board and also the
Office of assistant cashier. Mr.. Lees
expects to go into real estate business
in the city and will have Offices in the
building recently vacated by Mix q
Grossman, north of the Kendall drug
store. A. w. Hyde, president, G. F.
Knappen, vice-piesident, and G.. ].
Flittie, cashier, were reelected. Theo.
l. Flittie. vice-president of the Farm
ers and Merchants bank at %Iroquois,
was also elected v~ice-president Of the
B~rookings institution. Three assist.
ant cashiers were elected, F. P. Her
man. L. G. Hyde and c. L. Severson.
Theo. l. Flittie was also named a direc-
tor to succeed Mr. Lees and expects to
take up his duties here about April 1.
He was with the Bank Of Bookings a
number OF years ago. consequently is
known in the city and his return is
welcomed.
With the increase of the capital
stock, this growing Brookings bank
has the largest of any in this locality.
The past year has been the most sue
cessful OF any in the history Of the in
stitution and 1916 should witness even
greater prosperity.

EWING CONSIDERED AT NEB.

Word comes from the University of
Nebraska that Coach Harry w. Ewing
of State College is under consideration
for the coaching position left vacant
by the moving of Jumbo Stiehn to
Purdue. While Ewing is slated for
favorable consideration by the Corn.
huskers, it is without the personal ap-
plication of States coach.
Relative to Ewing, the Lincoln Star
of December 26 says: Harry w.
Ewing, a Nebraska graduate and grid.
iron warrior of ten years ago and sub.
sequently a successful coach at South
Dakota State College at Brookings,
has been added to the list of candi-
dates under consideration by the Ne.
braska authorities for the shoes of
Jumbo Stiehm. Ewing, who was some
whizzer of a guard when he wore
Cornhusker moleskins under King
Cole, has compiled a glittering record
at the Brookings institution. For four
successive years his football teams
were tied for the state title in the
Coyote commonwealth, while in 1915
his team was scored on by only one
opponent. His track teams also have
had remarkable success, proving that
the Cornhuskers' institution is turning
out student-athletes with the ability
to make good in the coaching line"

NEW BUILDINGS IN
BUSINESS DISTRICT
possibilities ARE THAT 1916
WILL SEE SEVERAL BRICK
STRUCTURES DOWN TOWN
SEVERAL MAKING PLANS FOR NEW YEAR
It Is Expected a Number Of New Resi-
dences Will Be Added Along With
Improvements on Main Street

With the advent of 1916 plans for
building in Brookings during the com
ing year have been made known. The
possibilities are that the coming year
in the city as in the past. In n re-
spect at least 1916 promises to eclipse
1915; that of new buildings in the bust
ness district. Owners of lots on the
main thoroughfares are arranging
plans for erecting fine brick business
houses next spring and summer in
place of the present wooden struc-
lures.
Whether the residence district will
undergo as much of an improvement in
the coming year as that accomplished
during the past is a conjecture. There
is every reason to believe that quite a
number of new homes will be built,
however, since there are scarcely any
in the city for rent at present and
Brookings grows larger every year.
New Bricks on Main Street
Geo. w. Cobel, who recently pur-
chased the building and lot on the cor
ner of Main and Williams streets, now
occupied by the J. l.. Jarvis hardware
store, is planning on erecting a two
story brick structure the full length of
the lot, 165 feet. Mr.. Cobel stated he
had made no definite plans as yet but
the lower floor will probably be used
for a business house and the upper
will be divided into office rooms. The
corner lot is one of the most advan-
tageous in the business district and
an excellent location for a fine brick
structure.
Thos. Bang says he may possibly
build a one-story brick building On the
lot just east of the Brookings. Steam
Laundry, into which he will o his
creamery. Chas. Poole says if circum.
stances warrant he will erect a two.
story brick on the lot now occupied by
HIS UdIDtI SllOp. ne Will USE lut loWt
floor for his place of business, he says.
and the upper will be divided into two
suites Of rooms for housekeeping pur
poses. H. G. Williams says he may
build a brick structure on the lot north
of the building occupied by the Colum.
bia Clothing Co. and should the plans
of these Brookings residents material.
ize the business district of the city will
assume an entirely different look to
strangers.
The Brookings Produce Co. started
work last week on erecting a 30x60 ice
house 16 feet high just east of their
Offices and expect to have it completed
within a few days. The building will
accommodate 700 tons of ice. Lake
Kampeska ice will be handled and
shipping and packing will be start,
ed next week. The company expects
to operate a wagon in the city

that it can be harvested promptly. AS
soon as the sweet clover begins to
bloom, it should be cut for hay, other.
wise it becomes woody very rapidly.
The second crop is generally saved for
seed, and at present prices is very
profitable. When pasturing the sweet
clover. it should he remembered that
ii is a two year plant and some plants
should be allowed to so to seed every
year to maintain the stand. Usually
there is no difficulty about that as
some plants almost always are missed
by the cattle. For pasture | would
prefer mixing the sweet clover with
bronze grass.
12) VIII it be profitable to drill
soy beans in the corn rows thai are
10 be used in filling the silo? This is
proving to be a very good thing to do
in Iowa.
Soy beans have done well on the ex.
pertinent station but have not been
used any by the farmers as yet. | see
no reason why it would not be profit
able to sow soy beans as you suggest,
if seed can be obtained at a reasonable
price.
Q3) Is it good practice to cut oats
rather green to feed to calves, sheep
and colts and feed in the sheaf, or cut
very green and use for hay?
1t is usually more profitable to let
oats mature grain in this section than
to cut them for hay unless the hay IS
badly needed. They can be used for
this purpose if it seems desirable;
however, we would consider the for
mer practice the best.
G4) What rotation of crops would
you recommend so as to produce the
greatest returns for a period of years
where live stock is the main crop
cattle, hogs, sheep and horses?
In regard to the rotation Of crops,
would suggest putting as much of the
land as you consider necessary into
perennials, like alfalfa or mixed
clovers and grasses as above suggest
ed, and the remainder of the farm can
be divided into a four year rotation
consisting of two crops of corr and
one of early oats sown with clover,
which is allowed to remain n year
and is then plowed up again for corn.
The clover sod could doubtless be
MANFRED on a farm where live stock is
kept. If you do not need that much
corn, potatoes could be substituted for
part of it, or if you prefer, barley OF
wheat might be substituted for the sec
ond field of corn. We are trying TWEEN.
ty-ive different plans of rotations al
the college farms and the one sug.
gested appears to be the most adapt,
able and productive. The rotation
above suggested with manur every
fourth year and any surplus n on
the alfalfa or grass land would help IL
improve the soil.
If you could visit the station at some
future time, particularly during the
cropping season, we would be glad to
go over some Of these problems with
you personally.
