SCHOOL NOTES

The outlook for a large enrolment
in the city schools Is encouraging.
Many inquiries from rural students
about courses of study and enrolment
are received Monday. September !
promises to be a happy day for many
ambitious boys and girls. For weeks
these young people have been looking
forward to the opportunity offered in
the public SCHOOLS for the fine arts Of
education which will give them a
clearer view for service in life. The
school authorities are trying to meet
this splendid challenge and hope to
satisfy every laudable ambition of the
young people of Bookings and vicinity.
There is no reason why any person in
this vicinity should grow to manhood
without the best educational training.
The Brookings public schools offer lib
eral courses under the direction OF able
instructors. Occasionally young people
feel that initiative, self-conhdence and
experience constitute the essential at
tributes Of success. and look upon edu-
cation or book learning with little re-

FARM ON STRIKE

Sioux City Journal-An Illinois or
ganization of farmers numbering ap-
proximately 100, 900 members threat
II to withhold it's products from the
market if the railroad employees re-
fuse to transport such products when
offered. This threat, while more Illus
trative than demonstrable, directs at
tention to the power which actually
controls the food supplies. In the
final analysis, the farmers of the o u
try have the power to override all
other agencies in food production and
distribution. If they refuse to sell,
or if they go a step further and refuse
to produce except for their own sup
port, the rest of the people would face
starvation. True, food might be
bought in other countries, but that
policy would place this nation in the
same dependent and precarious situa,
ton that England is.
The food producers of the nation
labor under ear prohibitiye handi-
caps in accomplishing results such as
are threatened by the Illinois organ
ization. They lack organization. Ger
tain lines, like the dairymen, are
loosely grouped, but even the milk
producers lack cohesive unity of pur-
pose except in limited zones. Another
handicap is that considerable of their
products are perishable and must be
marketed at a specific season and
within a limited period. This is espe-
cially true Of the majority of fruits
and of vegetables, except potatoes
and cabbage.
II the farmer so desired, he could
raise his W food, leving the rest of
mankind 10 look out for Itself. But
In adopting such a policy he would
reduce farming from a business to a
meager means Of support like it was
a century ago. Mere existence would
be the best anyone could realize.
Profits and improvements would be
wiped out. The man who owned his
farm would be independent, but the
one who refined would have no means
Of existing. because he would not
produce the products with which his
rent could be paid. He would be
eliminated from the field Of food pro-
duction and would become a men,
dicant.
Concrete control Of food produc-
ton or food deliveries by the farmers
is remote, yet in the abstract, they
are the people who hold the whip
hand. The railroad employees may
refuse to deliver food from the pro-
Queer to consumer, but such refusal
becomes a nullity when there is moth
ing to deliver. AS food is the source
of life, those who produce it could
destroy all others If they possessed
the machinery for united efforts. 1t is
peculiar that in the struggle for mas
terry among the different elements of
society, this fact has not been taken
into account.

operators, it ranks first in this per
capita production.
1t produced last year 428.8 bushels
for every man, woman and child. Its
nearest rival produced 1855 bushels.
In total crop production, South Da-
kota was first in wild hay, second in
rye, fourth in wheat, second In barley,
eighth in corn, fourth In fax. sixth In
cats, sixth in all hay.
Last year South Dakota produced
1921, O00, 900 of farm wealth, over $S44
a head for all of us in the state. IL IL
could be averaged Up, would provide
81 ,401.9 90 for each man, woman and
child, or SIP. 0o9. 80 for a family of five.
The banks of the state have over
1926, 900 900 On deposit, or on March
/, 1918, $392.57 for every person in
the state. The deposits gained 46.6
per cent over what they were a year
ago.
There are more than enough automo-
biies in the state to put everybody
into them and all go JOY riding at the
same time. They were all paid for
out of crop money.
South Dakota has more autos per
capita than any other state in the
union except one. II won't be long
now.
AS an index of wealth South Dakota
over-subscribed every Liberty Loan.
The government recognized this great
err wealth and asked the state for more
than any other.
For instance on the third loan the
apportionment was:
So. Dakota .sSss o coo, per capita, s9ss
No. Dakota $500, 900, per capita, IL
Montana -. 5000. 900. per capita, "a
Minnesota ;. II, 200. 900. per capita, "a
Iowa ....... II. 200. 900, per capita, SO
In 1918 the value of livestock raj
a quarter Of a billion. This was an
increase of $12, 000, 900 over the biggest
previous year.
In 1918 the value of all farm prod
ucts over the best year before that
was $126, 600, 1000 or a gain Of one-ifth
In a single year.
Taking 1t all In all. South Dakota
farmers each averaged last year 1.735
bushels OF corn, 1000 bushels OF oats,
1,025 bushels of wheat, and had a total
sale of $780, 00. 900 livestock, thereby
maintaining South Dakota's proud rec
ord of producing more new wealth per
capita than any other state in the
union.
