A CROP REPORT

This estimate of surplus stocks o.
grain in the state is released by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture through the Office Of the field
agent Of Watertown, Southt Dakota
after considering all data available
1t indicates the following reserves OF
stocks of different grains to be on
hand in the state:
Corn-Nnumber bushels on farms,
March l, 1919, 3S,947; bushels shipped
out of county, 3S,947; bushels mer.
charitable, 9S,451.
Wheat-Number bushels on farms,
March l, 1919, 16,4OO; bushels shipped
out Of county, 1913.
Oats-Number bushels on farms,
March /, 1919, 1852; bushels shipped
out of county, 29,484.
Barley-Number bushels on farms,
March /, 1919, 1865; bushels shipped
out of county, 24,78O.
This information indicates in a gen.
eral way that the reserve stock OF
corn in farmers hands mot visible)
is about one-half million bushels less
than March /, 1918, in the United
States, but South Dakota has a sur
plus of about 1900, 900 greater than
one year ago. In South Dakota the
shipments out of the county where
grown were about 8 million greater.
The quality Of the corn was unusually
high for the nation, $3.50 being of
merchantable quality compared with
60.3% n year ago. The state showed
91R to be merchantable this year
compared with 54R in 1917 crop.
In Brookings county the corn on
farms is 39T, corn merchantable 95R.
On the farms there is also 2O% Of the
wheat, 42R of the oats and 32R Of
the barley. And the survey finds that
in the county the average daily wage,
with board, is 1857.

OBITUARY OF G. w. SANDERS

G. w. Sanders was born July 25th,
1887, in Unadilla, New York, and died
March 10th, 1919, at Long Beach, Cal
i~fornia, aged 81 years, Z months and
Is days. His mother died when he
was six years old, and after that, he
had no home until he made one of
his own. He was married to Eliza
beth Kulp in New York, and to them
were born two children, both of whom
are living. He enlisted as a soldier
and served eighteen months. He was
a member of the Sharp Shooter com
pany. His first wife died, and he was
married the second time to Miss Cas-
sic Lewis of Floyd county, Iowa, Feb
ruary %, 1872. They had no chill
dren, but adopted a boy, Claude Sand
ers, who now lives in Rathdrum,
Idaho, and was present at the funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sanders came to South
Dakota Twenty-Five years ago and set
tied on a farm ear Bruce, where they
lived for ten years, when they moved
to Brookings, where they resided I'M
til last fall when they sold their
Brookings home, and bought a nice
home in Long Beach, California,
where he passed away. He and Mrs.
Sanders were converted in 1872 in a
revival meeting, in the Wesleyan
Methodist church, near Charles City,
Iowa. They were baptized and united
with the Wesleyan church in which
church he remained until his death.
His membership since coming to
South Dakota has been in the Bush
nell church. Mr.. Sanders had a spec
al interest in missionary work. For
:, Ears, he has made annual special
gifts. He gave regularly to mission
airy work in Africa. and also in India.
college, MiltOnyille, Kansas, and has
contributed to ii for years. He also
made special gifts to the Wesleyan
college at Central, South Carolina.
He contributed to a fund there to help
students who were preparing for the
ministry. He was also interested in
an industrial school for the coIOred
people in Centerville, Alabama, and
gave support to it. He was a regu-
lar contributor to the Children's
Home, at Sioux Falls, and also to a
Rescue Home for Girls in Pennsyl-
vania. He knew he was going to die,
and talked very freely about it; made
full preparations for his departure.
He ever looked after arrangements of
details in connection with his funeral.
He was prepared to go.
The funeral was held in the NJ. L.
church, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
Rev. |. NJ. Hargett officiating, and in.
terment occurred in Greenwood GEM

governmental activities, Carter Glass
secretary Of the U. S. treasury depart
ment, and his expert advisers, have
estimated their needs carefully and
stated them plainly. They have asked
the people of the United States to sup
ply these needs and have suggested
ways in which the results may be OBJ
tanned.
These governmental needs and sug.
gestions may be summed up in the
following comprehensive plan of &C.
ton for 1919:
A: A nationwide campaign of edu-
cation in thrift, carried on through
War Savings societies, in which Amer
icanism, saving, and investing will be
effectively taught and piacticed. The
government earnestly hopes that dur
ing this year the people will receive
an enduring education in thrift.
B: The sale of practically $4,000
600 900 worth Of War Savings Stamps.
This will mean that he people will
loan the government a part of the
money saved through the practice of
thrift and wise spending during 1919.
C: The selling of probably $4,000
000, 900 worth of securities during the
Victory Liberty loan drive in April.

LETTER OF

Pvt. William S. Auth, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Christ Auth of this city, died on
February 10th in France from pneu-
monia. The following letter from the
nurse who attended him in the hos
pital to the ~sorrowing relatives is full
of sympathy and consultations:
Camp Hospital So, LeMans, France
My Dear Mrs. Auth: Although you
do not know me, please accept my
deep and sincere sympathy in yoru
great sorrow and bereavement. 1t
was my sad duty to be with your hus-
band when he was dying and | thought
it would be of some comfort for you
to know that he died like a little child
slept peacefully into eternity.
About a week ago he showed me
some snapshots of you and your sis
ter, who is in training. When he
pointed you out or the picture, he
said, the sweetest girl in all the world
to me.
He was very patient and grateful
for anything that was done for him,
which endeaHd him to all with whom
he came in contact. The chaplain
visited him every day and on Satur-
day he received the last rite of the
Catholic church, so you need not be
in doubt as to his spiritual end, he
died a good Catholic. His end was %
peaceful that | did not realize myself,
| had just enough time TO say the Act
of Contrition.
About 4:30 on the afternoon of Feb.
10th, he told me he was hungry and
asked me if ! would scramble him an
egg. ! scrambled him two eggs and
made his piece of toast, which | fed
to him at 5 o'clock, he enjoyed them
and thanked me. He then fell into a
natural sleep and awakened at $50
in Eternity.

is over, are stin suffering because of
the lack of food.
This is the call of humanity. The
Jewish people have never before come
to you with IN appeal for help, but so
great is the crisis and so urgent is
the call, that they come to you citizen
of South Dakota, regardless of race
or creed.
So when the committee calls upon
you, let your heart dictate the amount
of your contribution to this great
cause, and please remember that
every dollar that is contributed will
be used for relief and hat all cam
paign expenses are paid from private
funds. Last October North Dakota
oversubscribed, and South Dakota will
do likewise. Those in charge of the
campaign in this state feel that when
once the people realize the great need
that there will be no question of the
result.

ON TO A FARM

o many Americans are driftin:
into city and town for the good of oul
nation. The countrs produces GU
strong young men and women. The
t~own-reared family starts under 6
handicap. 1t lives. or exists, without
the rick milk, thick cream, real but
ter, fresh eggs. chicken and porl
which cost so little on a farm. L
never has the independence and self
sufficiency that country life breeds.
If our young folks, in marrying ant
starting life, would only consider
these things We would have more
happy families on the land and fewer
miserable one crowded into small
flats in town.
There are still millions of acres o.
unoccupied farm lands in various sec
lions of the U. S. No need to &c
across the water or to another coun
try.
One Of the unfortunate economies
of government operation of our rail
roads is the withdrawal Of railroad ad
vertising of farm lands and the elm
ination Of the colonization agents who
did such good work in building uI
u west and south.
Canada is not so foolish. She is in
viting our farmers on to her lands,
She is advancing money to her sol
diers to get them on to farms.
Let our administrators and law max.
ers wake up. Advertise our farm
lands so people may know where the
openings are. Get Bill Jones' son to
take up a farm instead of a job in
town-put him on a farm where he Is
an asset to the u S. A. Carry out
Secretary Lanes plans for more farms
for soldiers and civilians.
Meanwhile, there are farms adver-

From the Tribune:
Despite the terrible condition of the
roads Tuesday evening several from
Volga went to Brookings to attend the
band concert given by the South Da-
kota State College military band un-
der the direction Of Captain Carl
Christensen. The program was fine
and greatly enjoyed by everyone.
G.. NJ. Mundy of Sioux Falls, accom-
panied by his family, has moved upon
the old Lars Tenning place which was
recently vacated by Albert Larkin.
The people of that locality will take
pleasure in welcoming this family to
their midst. The farm has been
named the Pine Ridge Stock Farm"
Some time ago we mentioned the
fact that we were in receipt of a bank
draft for two dollars, drawn by the
Farmers National Bank OF Bookings,
and mailed from that place, but which
did not in any way designate the
name of the sender. We cannot give
proper credit without the name and
hope to receive the same at once.
Elmer DOugherty returned from
Sioux Falls and WATERFOWL Monday.
He reports that Mrs. Dougherty sue
cessfully underwent an operation for
the removal of a cancer from her
breast while at Sioux Falls and that
she is doing as well as can possibly
be expected. She is now at her home
at Watertown and with rest she will
regain her strength in a short time.

SUNSET" DRIVE TO THE JEWISH
RELIEF CAMPAIGN

Owing to the small amount NJ
money asked of the people of South
Dakota for the relief of the Jewish
people OF the war-ridden sections of
Europe and Asia Minor, State Direc.
tor Ben N. Lesk that the
drive for funds in this state on March
10Th, will be known as the Sunset
drive. He believes that the people
OF this state will respond so willingly
n literally when the committees
wait upon them that before shutdown
on March 26th, the total amount al
lotted to the state will be heavily
oversubscribed.
South Dakota has been blessed with
sa succession of good crops, her peo-
pie are prosperous and are known the
country over for their liberality for
a good cause, and when it becomes
generally known that literally thous-
ands of Jewish people are actually
starving over across the sea, they will
not hold back their mite.
Inc work OF organizing the state
Tor this Sunset" drive is progress
ing nicely. Not only people of Jew
ish faith are interested in this cam
paign but hundreds of people of other
religious faith and nationality are Of

Protestants are offering to spend their

be brought into the lives of a people
