Of raising a revolving fund to be used
In building more houses has been con-
sidered, but unless all this talk is
coined into action 1t will amount to
nothing. In Sioux Falls a fund has
been raised for the purpose of build
ing small, but good, houses for men
who have as yet accumulated no cap
ital, but who have good positions and
whose credit records are clear. After
the purchaser of a house has paid in
sufficient payments for a year or two
he will then have a good enough
equity in the property to be able to
secure a loan on it. He can then
pay the balance to the building COM
pany and IT can be put into another
house. There is no risk in this plan
OF financing the building of houses so
long as the town Is kept growing.
Such a plan offers practical relief, and
gives public-spirited citizens of any
town who are interested in its growth
an opportunity to make the growth
possible. We ought to have such cit
liens In Brcokings, and 1t is only nee
essary for some one to show them a
WY to cooperate to be of real as

SERIOUS

The situation as regards The rela-
items between the United States and
Mexico were strained more Monday
by the capture Of two military a~viators
OF our army by bandits along the Mexi-
can border and their being held for
ransom with the threat of death if
the money was not forthcoming. The
state department has authorized the
payment of the $4,000 demanded and
steps have been taken for the trans.
Ter OF the money to effect their re-
lease. Coming close on the heels of
the state departments virtual ultima
tum to Mexico regarding the steps
that might be taken by our govern
ment unless better protection was af-
forded u citizens who were within
her borders, this new happening Gre
ates a very grave condition of af-
fairs and it looks as If there might
be a break at any time, unless Car
rama drops down from his high horse
as regards the treatment of outsiders.
The dismissal Of the only English gov
eminent official from the City of Mex,
leo also places the Mexican govern
ment IN rather delicate position. There
is some difference in the cases of these
officers from that of private citizens,
as the seizure Of them while in uni
form is considered an affront to the
nation they represent and a breach OF
international law. The aviators have
been released and are back across the
border. but this does not settle the
matter.

MOVE MADE

South of Brookings county a big
bond election is all planned and
started for the building Of real high
ways in M~innehaha county. Now TO
the north comes the news that Coding-
ton county is waking up and proposes
10 do the same thing in the immediate
future. With one county between us,
campaigns indicate that Brookings
county must get busy and start her
campaign in order not TO be behind
the procession of progress. The county
commissioners this week have adopted
the plan for a county highway sys-
TEN. The routes will be published
and a notice given of a meeting of
the commissioners to hear protests
against and arguments for their pro-
posed plan. Now the time has arrived
for the people of the county to take
action on the proposition Of good
roads in a way that will mean real
highways. Farmers all over the county
should attend this meeting that will
be called. should carefully study the
plan proposed and then come pre-
pared to tell the commissioners that
they want these roads built for use
at all times and in all weathers.
Meeting together in this way the
farmers will be able TO know how all
their neighbors of the whole country
feel about the matter. They can hear
all sides of the question and present
their own views, and thus bring about
the condition OF road building that
means the most for their own perma-
nent benefit. The citizens of the flu
ture have as large, If not larger. an
interest in this program than the citi-
e n Of the present and il we are
building Brookings county to endure
and hold its place among the divisions
of the state, then the future must be
considered. Those of the future must
help pay for the first foundations on
which our highway system Is built and
this can be accomplished only by
bonding the county and distributing
the cost over the years to come. With
the initial cost distributed In a way
that will not a burden to any one gen
Grafton. then the upkeep OF these roads
will also be divided among the genera
tons to come and each will reap the
benefit of a wise start. Now is the
time for Brookings county to consider
not only the present. but the future.
Now Is u time to provide for the
Increased value of u farming lands.
Transportation is the big question on
which the successful farming of the
immediate future is based ard to fail
now to provide permanent highways
for Bookings county places a bar in
front OF the future progress of the en-.
tire county. The farmer needs the
roads first for his business prosperity
the towns and cities need them for
their further growth, and in fact every,
body needs them to make life worth
living.

IL takes in all who wore the uniform

few of them failed to come back. Less
in proportion than perhaps any other
county in the state. Fewer wounded

should this county be behind the rest

fine opportunity to make a showing
that will rebound to the glory of the
county, as well as benefit the men
who enter into this compact or asso-

CUT CORN FOR SIlOS

Corn cut when the grains have
reached the glazed stage contain al
most twice as much digestiblc mat
ter as corn cut at tasseling time;
corn cut at glazing time, therefore, is
best for silage.
These statements are based on
analyses made by chemists of the Do.
minion of Canada at Ottawa, which
snow that the corn from an average
acre cut at the glazing period con
tains 1908 pounds of digestible matter
as against 1920 pounds when the corn
is cut at tasseling time.
Samples of corn were analysed"
says Mr.. Boss, that had been taken
at all stages from tasseling to silk.
ing, early milk and late milk, and
glazing. These analyses show strong.
ly in favor of allowing the corn to
reach that stage of maturity when
the kernels are well denied or glazed
before 1t is cut. At that time the
lower leaves are usually beginning to
turn yellow. The figures show that
while there is a larger amount OF
green corn on the acre when the corn
is in the tasseling stage, the totsl
amount of dry matter is not enarly
SO great then as when the corn has
glazed. The dry matter per ton
amounts to 285 pounds at the tasselins
stage, 1923 at the silking stage, SS9 in
the early milk. 444 at the late milk
and 523 pounds at the glazing stage
II there is any danger of frost, corn
should be cut early rather than al
lowed to wait for the maximum
pounds of dry matter"
