Tbs report Of H. H. Q. Hubrandson,
field agent of South Dakota bureau Of
crop estimate, gives the present val
ue Of live stock in this state as $344-
764, 600, as compared with last
years valuation of 1898, 1872, 600.
The quantity of stock has not de-
creased. but the valuation has fallen
off LAT per cent. due to decline in
the market value. With this decline
in the farmers price it is but reason
able that we should expect cores
ponding decrease in the cost to the
consumer, but this does not appear.
The farmer is being made the goat
while the middlemen seem to be the
profiteers.

tateu moment, undecided whether he
would carry the hand-baggage up to
the door or leave that task for
remington retainer; then he noted
the tearstalns on the cheeks of his
1air passenger. Instantly he took up
the hand-baggage, kicked open the
iron gate, and preceded Shirley up the
cement walk to the door.
Just wait moment, II you please.
George" Shirley said as he set the
baggage down and started back for
the car. He turned and beheld her
extracting a five-dollar bill from her
purse. For you. George" she con-
tlnued. THANK you so much"
In all his life George Sea Otter had
never had such an experience-he,
happily. having been raised in a coun-
try where, with the exception OF
walters, only a pronounced vagrant
expects or accepts a gratuity from
woman. He took the bill and fingered
1t curiously; then his white blood as
serted itself and he handed the bill
back to Shirley.
THANK you," he said respectfully.

Shirley did not understand his re-
fusal, but her instructive tact warned
her not to insist. She returned the
bill to her purse. thanked him again,
and turned quickly to hide the slight
flush Of annoyance. George Sea Otter
noted it.

"at first I did not want to carry your
baggage. I d;i not want to walk on

ture he indicated the Pennington
grounds. '"Then you cry little be-

Question: How can / tell when
my battery is discharged? ID. NJ.
Answer: Test each cell with a
specific gravity hydrometer. When
1t is discharged it will show low spe-
emo gravity of about 1850. When
1t is charged it will show high spe-
chic gravity, or between 1271 and
1900.
Question: Shall I grease my ter
mlnals? l was told to do this.-A. T.
Answer: This is always good prac-
tlce, as it helps to prevent corrosion.
Question; How often should !
tighten the nuts on my battery
l.. 0.
Answer: If you have a battery
with bolted terminals on each end,
these should be kept snug, as the
slightest looseness will spoil the con-
tact and keep the battery from doing
good work. Try them once a month
but do not twist them hard enough
to bend the lead posts.

The half-breed slid out of the dark
ness and sat down beside him. a
moment later, through the open
window of her room just above the
norch where Bryce and George Sea
Otter sat. Shirley heard the former
say:

that my fathers sight was beginning

"About two years ago. Bryce. He

FARM BUREAU NOTES

The American Farm Bureau
Federation. with President J.
R Howard mt the head. is
contemplating the cooperative
marketing of grain through
the Joint Grain Marketing
Committee of seventeen men.
President Howard has named
this committee from list of
one hundred and fifty names
and all the men are especially
fitted for this work. 1t is the
pupose of this committee to
work out a plan upon which
all farm organizations and
farmers cooperative grain
marketing associations can
unite to stabilize grain prices
and take out the hazard and
gamble that grain growers
have always experienced in
the sale of their product.
What the grain grower, and
especially the wheat grower.
wants is a stable market;
something that he can bank
on. Within the past few
weeks wheat prices have fluc-
tuated considerably; so much
so in fact as tocause a decided
loss to some growers who were
not fortunate enough to have
their threasing done at just
the proper moment.
Other farm products are in
the same boat as wheat. II
the Farm Bureau is successful
in the above gigantic project.
then it will be only matter of
time until all farm products,
including live stock, will be
handled in the same way; then
will the marketing of farm
products be reduced to such a
point that a few dealers in
futures" will not name the
price.
Estimates on the 1920 wheat
crop in the United States show
77O,O00,000 Blu. and the carry
over from 1919 raising this to
a total of 90O,OO0,OOO bu. to
meet all bread demands until
the 1921 crop is harvested.
0f this amount 25O,0O0,OOO
bu. have been or will be ex-
ported; another 100,00O,OOO
Tor seed, thus leaving bal
ance of less than 55O,000,OOO
ou. This amount is 100000
oOO Blu. short of our normal
consumption.
These are President Ho-
wards figures and he says
mat if supply and demand
We're to set the price wheat
would now be bringing from
lhree to four dollars per bu:,
and that the present condi-
aaon of the market is due to
manipulations and propa-
eanda by large SPECTATORS

ues of wheat abroad in June
