Manufacture

tive price for copper. when other
prices have receded but little?
First, because there are large
stocks of copper on hand. left over
from the war. Both the govern
ment and the companies have con-
siderable accumulations. for which
the demand just now is small. But
IN this connection it must be borne
in mind that stocks Of copper metal
can be carried indefinitely without
injury and at a very trifiing cost Of
storage. The principal cost in carry
ing them is the interest on the
money invested in them, which is
not an important item for a year or
so. And the copper industry is so
largely concentrated in the hands OF
important interests that money for
the purpose is easily available.
The second reason for the low
price Of copper is found in the fact
that it is chiefly used in new con
struction, and new construction is
now at a minimum.
The Future of Copper.
No one in the industry doubts the
great future demand for copper.
Electrical development, where large
quantities of copper are needed. will
proceed with even faster pace in
the future than heretofore. The
generating of electricity by water
power, to be transmitted over long
distances by wire, is one important
field where only a beginning has as
yet been made. Substitution OF
electrical for steam power on the
railroads is d demonstrated success
where water power is available and
will be carried on much farther
than at present.

Stable Needed

One of our farmer fr lends, who
was among the large number Of
farmers who came in to attend the
school officers meeting and the farm
bureau meeting last Saturday, COM
plaiped that there was no place to
stable his team while he was atte nd
ing these meetings, and he did not
like the idea Of having to stand his
team out Of doors all the time he
was IN town. So much Of highway
travel is now done by auto, that the
livery stable appears to have be-
come relic Of the past, but never
theless there should be some bubble
place provided for stabling the
farm teams and protecting them
from the inclemency Of the sea-
sons. If private enterprise will not
provide this accommodation for the
farmers, then the commercial club
or some other organization should
see that a place for stabling horses
is provided.

Franklin Fenner. Of Twin Brooks,
attended the C. P Dexheimer sale
at Spencer last week, and purchas-
ed finely bred Duroc Jersey SOW
from the Pathfinder Giant, the
largest Duroc Jersey boar in
America. Mr.: Fenner says that
while there was not large crowd
at the sale. nearly all were buyers.
and good prices were paid in all
cases.
The breeding of good stock in
this country has gotten beyond the
experimental stage, and farmers
are fast learning that they can't
afford to have the other kind on
their farms. There may have been
: time when the breeders Of hign
priced live stock was laughed at,
but it's the other fellow who is be.
ing laughed at now.

ing the boys liberal percentage Of

The regular annual meeting of
the school officers of the cou nty was
held at the court house last Monday
morning, probably over one hun
dred and thirty people being in at
tendance. Miss Carrie Leavitt,
the county superintendent. made
report Of school conditions in the
county. A shortage Of teachers
has been felt all the year, and con-
sequently there has been quite an
advance in salaries, some Of the
districts having to gay $50 for a
teacher.
County Agent Swedburg gave a
short talk on the club work among
the boys, stating that several clubs
were already organized, and the
boys engaged in raising fine bred
hogs.
Mr.. Haynes, the assistant club
leader, explained the benefits of
getting the boys and girls interest
ed in some particular branch of
farm work, SO that they would
stay by the farm instead of being
attracted to the city.
Miss Nette Johnson, the county
superintendent elect, who takes up
her work as superintendent the first
of July, gave brief talk on county
school work. and her remarks indi-
Gated that she is in close touch with
country school work, and will en-
deavor to keep the schools OF the
county in the line Of progress dur
ing her administration.
Senator Amsden called attention
to some Of the new laws enacted
last monh, one Of which va, the
change in the institute law so that
the institute would be held not less
than two days and not more than
three days in the fall. after the open
ing Of the schools, the teachers to
have full pay for attending, and the
institute to be under the direction
OF the state superintendent.
Another Of the new laws provides
for normal work in the high school

unanimously resolved to continue
the farm bureau for another year.
Messrs. w. w. Underwood, the
assistant county agent leader. and
A. L. Haynes. assistant club leader
both from the state agricultural
school at Brookings. addressed the
meeting. C. S. Amsden. president
of the bureau. presided and J. J..
Swedburg, the county agent gave q
short review Of his work during
the year, and in the absence OF the
secretary also made a brief report
of the financial part of the bu-
reau.
Mr.. Underwood explained the
work which the county agent. as
the head of the farm bureau was
called upon to do, and how it was
impossible to estimate the money
value of the county agent to the
people of county, in helping them
to test and secure good seed and in
helping the farmers to better meth
ods in their farm work. In COM
plimenf to Mr.. Swedburg, who has
had charge of the work Mr.. Under
wood stated that the agent from
this county was one of only two
county agents in the state who had
a complete record of corn testing
50 that it could be sent on to the
agricultural department at Wash
ington in time. for publication in
the agricultural bulletins issued by
the government.
Mr.. Haynes explained his work
as assistant club leader for the boys
and girls clubs. the principal OBJ
iects Of which are to get the young
peoplesinterested in some particu-
lar branch Of farm work, pig rails
ing, corn or poultry raising or some
thing Of this class for the boys, and
canning. bread baking, or sewing
for the girls. Several couhties in
the state have club organizer to
work with the boys and girls and
get them interested along these
lines, and before the meeting nd
iourned it voted to secure the SER
vices OF Mrs. Kiethline. who has
been serving as club organizer in
Brown county. to take up the work
here. She expects to commence
her work here and continue until
the first Of July. The boys or
girls Of any community can take
up any of the lines of work sug-
gested and form a club, and the
clubs help to keep the young people
better satisfied with farm life, and
they give to the town children
something interesting and useful
to occupy their time during the
summer months.
