SWEET CLOVER
WORTH BILLION
HELPS SOUTH DAKOTA SOIL,
MAKES GOOD HAY AND ITS
SEED BRINGS A FANCY
PRICE.

Brookings, S. D.-"Sweet clover,
once regarded a weed, is worth a bill
lion dollars to South Dakota, because
ut is one of the greatest soil improv-
ers and stock feeders" asserts j. G..
Hutton. associate agronomist, at the
State college. He says
Sweet clover helps to mainain
the nitrogen supply in the soil; it
makes good hay; and it produces a
large amount of valuable seed which
there is ready market. There is no
danger whatever of it's becoming a
field weed, which has been demon
strated by experiments where sweet
clover is followed by a cultivated
crop, such as corn or potatoes.
when the agronomy department
advocated the utilization of sweet
clover as forage crop few years
ago, there We're many who doubted
the advisability OF using it, and a
few who We're openly opposed to it.
The experience of the last few years
has shown that it is one of the most
valuable of the legume crops in
South Dakota. Cattle have been learn
ing to cat it in the pastures and feed
ing tests have placed it next to alfal-
ia as hay.
THE more valuable food sub
stances are those containing large
quantities OF the clement nitrogen.
Grain crops and all other, except le-
sumes, take this element from the
soil but are unable to draw upon the
large supplies in the air. Sweet clover
draws most of the nitrogen it re-
quires from the air and furnishes it
to stock in usable form. If the ma
nure from sweet clover is returned
to the soil. the nitrogen supply is
increased. If the sweet clover is
plowed directly under the nitrogen
supply is increased still more
If the supply OF nitrogen in South
Dakota soils is to be maintained
and it must be-legume crops must
be grown on every farm. AT least one
fourth of every farm should be in le-
sumes every year. This is not theory
but fact. Sweet clover is we'll adapt
led TO this purpose.
Sweet clover is worth a billion
dollars to South Dakota Let US hope
that every farmer will try to get his
| share of the billion.

MAY PLACE EMBARGO
ON MEXICAN MUNITIONS

Washington, d. C.,-With the state
militia in process of mobilization and
the American note on its way to Mex
leo City, the administration has turn
ed its attention to plans for the prohi-
bition of munitions shipments from
the United States to Mexico.
The subject of an embargo was the
principal subject at the cabinet meet
ing yesterday. 1t is expected that an
announcement on this question will
be issued by the president shortly.
Since the Columbus raid no muni-
tions and arms have crossed the Mex
lean border except where they We're
smuggled. There have been whole
sale deliveries OF munitions at Mexi-
can seacoast ports, however 1t is
the latter phase of the embargo that
the administration is now taking up
and it is the general opinion here
that the only way in which this can
be done is for the president to issue
a general embargo order.
This he has the power to do under
authority granted him by congress
more than a year ago.
Some officials of the government
are urging that there will be block
ade of Mexican ports of entry. They
are confronted with the fact. how
ever, that the only way a blockade
can be established is to declare the
United States at war with Mexico
Therefore. until conditions become sc
bad so as to demand declaration OF
war. the only means of stopping
munitions from getting into the
hands of the de facto government is
to prevent ships carrying arms an6
munitions from clearing at our ports

WILL PIER NOW
PRES. OF BANK
FIRST NATIONAL AT MIDLAND,
S. d., HAS INCREASED IT'S
BUSINESS AND STANDING
SINCE HIS ARRIVAL.

Midland, S. d., MALTA change in
the personnel of the officers and di-
rectors of the First National bank
was made Saturday at the regular
meeting of the board of directors.
w. l.. Pier. formerly cashier, was
elected president. and H. L. Young,
assistant cashier. was promoted to
the position of cashier. These pro-
business-building efforts these gentle
men have expended for their bank.
Mr.. Pier came to the First Nat
ional as cashier in February, 1915,
deposits of the bank at that time
amounting to less than s70,O00.00
1t is due largely to the efforts of
himself and Mr. Young that the de-
posits of this bank have increased
s45, 100000 during the past fifteen
months. This indicates not only the
excellent Management under which
the bank has been during the past
fifteen months. but also the conf
dence resposed in it by the business
men, farmers and stocltmen of this
country.
During the time the First National
has been steadily forging ahead and
today is the largest and strongest
bank between Ft. Pierre and Rapid
City. The directors and stockhold-
ers are men of undoubted integrity
and business ability, and whose per-
sonal financial responsibility runs
into the hundred thousands.
Following are the present officers
and directors: W. l.. Pier, presi-
dent; Thos. Jones, vice presidest; H
E. Young, cashier.
