Equity Exchange
Organized At KadOka

Kadoka is the first town west of
the river to organize a local ex-
change and affiliate with the Nat.
ional Farmers Equity Union Assoc
iation. w. l.. Simmerman of

alton, perfected local exchange at
Kadoka on last Saturday and the
following directors were elected to
serve until the first annual election:
Allen Spaur, Geo. Decker, F. |.
Wray, G.. +. Emerson, and ID. +.
Klotz. The directors elected the
following officers, F. l. Wray,
President; Geo. Decker, Vice-Pres;
u. F. Klotz, Sec Treas.
A series of special meetings will
be held at once in order to get the
public informed as to the nature OF
this National Association, explain
ing the merits and to increase the
membership of the local exchange.
The Equity Union Association

ing in some twelve states, and has

ducers and purchasers OF lumber.

annually and having proven great
success in the above mentioned
lines, has now decided to handle
cream. To successfully handle
the situation the centralized plan
of operation was decided upon.
The producers will be enabled to
have their cream manufactured
into butter and receive the entire
profits from same, less the actual
operating expense. The producer
in the past has been selling to in
dividual centralized creameries.
which concerns do not enable the
producer to realize anything for
the over-run which is on an aver
age about one fifth and the price
received was based on a margin
that netted the creamery immense
net profits after all expense is paid.
To get the benefits of the over-run
and all net profits the producers
must operate their own creamery
and do so on the centralized plan.
The people Of Kadoka may rest
assured that an Exchange here was
only organized after careful in
vestigation of the plan and merits
of the Association and as they are
o. k. it is now up to the people to
cooperate and make the local
Exchange a success and credit to
the community.

mer and allowed the second crop
to go to seed. My field wasn't
very large and there were no thresh-
ing machines very near, so we had
to thresh out that first batch OF
clover seed by the old-fashioned
fail method. We had two hun
dred pounds of seed to sell and it
brought us S3S.
You can easily imagine that in
the meantime other settlers in the
vicinity had been watching my ex-
perlence, and it was no trick at all
the second year had seed to sell
to get even more than this. Every
settler in the county wanted to sow
some sweet clover, and got as
high as thirty cents for some of it..
] had more to sell that year, too,
and that with the hogs and butter
we sold made our income just about
as big as it would have been in
Minnesota on the farm we left.
1t was the fourth year of my ex-
perience before | learned the value
of sweet clover crop with reference
to its effect on the soil. That year
my success with sweet clover
prompted me to try something else.
plowed up the best field | had,
which was one on which | had sown
the clover, and worked the soil in
the very best way | knew. | had
a regular garden seed bed when |
sowed the wheat that epring. We
didn't have any more rain that year
than usual, but just the same that
wheat did fine, and in the fall |
had proof that wheat did fine, and
in the fall had proof that wheat
could be grown in that dry country.
Somehow the sweet clover had
opened up the soil down to water
level, and had put fertility into the
soil, so that the wheat could grow
where wheat had not grown before.
A few wears after that my sue.
cess encouraged me to try planting
trees. i took one of the oldest
fields and plowed under the heavy
growth of sweet clover. This was
done in the fall and in the spring

tic. She said that sweet clover was
a pestiferous weed in Iowa and H.
linois, and she didn't know why il
was necessary to SOW more weeds
on our farm when we had such a
good supply already. We didn't
argue the matter, however.
Gradually the stock spent more
time on the clover pasture until
finally they didn't pay much atten-
tion to anything else. Apparently
they had acquired the taste. |
never saw stock thrive SO we'll as
mine did that year. The COWS
gave more milk, the horses grew
fatter and the hogs were ready to
butcher much earlier than usual.
Even Mrs. Beevers began to take
an interest in my new venture. At
least there was one crop that
could grow in this dry country.
| cut a nice crop of hay that fall,
and this in addition to some wild
hay that always put UP gave me
quite a surplus. Accordingly |
secured two more COWS, and that
winter proved out the real value oi
sweet clover hay. 1t was the first
time that we had sold butter since
we bad moved to our claim, and
we had TO haul it quite a ways tc
town; but we had all kinds OF time,
and the extra money it brought in
was certainly appreciated.
With some of this money
bought more clover seed and put il
an additional acreage the following
spring. | also secured severa
nice thrifty sows and had nearly {
hundred pigs to pasture on the
sweet clover that summer. Thi:
was the beginning of our real pros
perity. By fall we were ready tc
market one of the finest lunches o.
hogs you ever saw, and say, yor
should have seen Mrs. Beevers
eyes open when she saw the money
got for those porkers.
\ The second year opened up Z
new source of profit from the swee

set out a few trees as an expert
ment. Only half of them died and
| thought that was a pretty good
record.
When | was asked to write this
article | first had in mind to tell
the methods necessary to grow
sweet clover. something as the lee
turer told them to me, but finally
decided to tell my experience Just
as it happened. There are lot of
other things that might be said
about sweet clover, but | hope that
my experience will give someone
who is living in a dry country cour-
age to stay by the ship. 1t may
be OF value to someone who has a
poor piece of land that he has not
been able to use. My experience
shows that it can be grown on
rocky or gravelly soil. | have
learned from others that it will also
stand more wet soil than most
other crops. 1t probably will not
stand SO much water as alsike
clover, but it will stand more than
other kinds of clover. The demand
for seed is increasing and sweet
clover produces seed the second
year in most any locality.

Sweet Glover
Increased Income

(From National Alfalfa Journal)
My wife did not entirely believe
in my ideas when we moved to a
dry country, and ordinarily a man
ought to depend good deal on his
wlfe's opinions. In this particular
case | began to think that | had
made a serious mistake, because
there was less rainfall than | had
figured on and it was a pretty hard
proposition to raise any crops at
all. The one redeeming feature
was that the land was a homestead
and | did not have a big invest
ment. | will confess that | really
made my living the first few years
by working for other people for
wages. -.sa.
Ordinarialy under such condi-
tions you would expect the one
who had been against the venture
to gloat over the failure, but |
must give credit to Mrs. Beevers
for her patience. Finally, one day
the great opportunity came. had
travelled fifty miles to hear Farm
ers' Institute lecture. The princi-
pal reason why | attended the lee
ture was that | had not much else
to do. During the course of the
day | heard very interesting talk
on sweet clover. When the lectur-
er was about in the middle OF his
discourse, / began to wake up and
realize that there was something
important in this to me. When
the lecturer had finished | felt that

about sweet clover. ! buttonholed

me for two solid hours that night,

ased a small quantity of sweet
clover seed.

kept the secret to myself. AS soon
as spring opened up | sowed the
seed, putting part of it on the best
land had and part of it on the
worst. The seed was hulled and ]
used twenty pounds to the acre.
Before | sowed the seed | soaked
it in concentrated sulphuric acid
for half an hour. When | took il
out washed it carefully in running
water and at once took it to the
field and sowed it broadcast. The
reason | used the sufphuric acid
was because the lecturer had told
me that many of the seeds are SO
hard that they would not grow the
first year if they were not treated
ir some way. The sulphuric acid
softens the coat and allows the
moisture to swell the seed so that
it will germinate.
