also enlarged and developed.
The experiment station seed distri-
button system has been developed so
that seeds which have been introduced

troduced or developed by the expert
ment station in cooperation with the

BUSINESS MEN WILL DECIDE
QUESTION AT MEETING
FRIDAY NIGHT
ALL NEARBY TOWNS HAVE BALL TEAMS
This wholesome and Enter
tanning Sport.

viii Brookings have baseball CLUB
this summer? Will the citizens of
Brookings have a chance to sit in
eager suspense some summer after
noon and watch local boy bang out
a home run, win the game and set
the whole town wild with cheers?
Is Brookines to maintain it's high rep
utation as one of the most progressive
towns in the state? A great many citi-
zens and business men of this city
have been asking these questions since
reading and hearing so much about
the organization of ball clubs in prac-
tcally all of the neighboring towns.
These questions will be answered
men to be held Friday evening at $3.50
O'Clock in the Commercial club rooms.
1t will be decided at this meeting
whether or not Brookings will have
a ball team and if she will, the kind
of team it shall be.
The interest, entertainments enjoy
ment and high pitched competition
and wholesome rivalry furnished by
a lively baseball game is something
that most Americans don't care to
miss Nearby towns such as Water
town, Madison, Dell Rapids, Sioux
Falls and Pipestone have already ar
ranged to have baseball clubs so there
will be no difficulty in scheduling
games. Interest in baseball is grow
ing at tremendous rate throughout
the state, practically every town, large
and small, is contemplating team
of some sort this summer. The re-
Gently organized South Dakota state
league already figures prominently in
the sporting pages. Interested cit-
zens and business men are urged to
think the matter over carefully and
come to the meeting Friday night
ready to organize club that viii

the season of 1906.

take the place Of the worn-out ones
and bring the total number up to the
requirements of our expanding indus
try. There are not enough cars %
go around, and if we have big crops
this season there is going to be wall
ing and gnashing of teeth over a seri-
Gus shortage of cars.
In the meantime, the railroads, after
two years of government operation.
are straining to the utmost to raise
the hundreds of millions of dollars
needed to pay for the building of new
cars. They ought to be enabled TO
build 100000 right away, and they
ought to have 100000 within two years
One hundred thousand cars before the
war would have cost $4,000 900;
now they will cost $1,000 100000. I'm
official estimates are made in Wash
ipgton that the railroads really need
today $500, 900 worth of new cars
and engines. 1t is going to be some
task to raise this new capital.
While the new cars are being built,
the Car Service Commission at Wash
ington is making every effort tos get
the greatest possible use out of the
equipment now on the ;ailroads. This
means that the railroads themselves
must adopt every possible means for
the quick movement of cars over their
lines. and that shippers must cooper
ate by rapid loading and unloading.
and by loading cars as nearly possi-
BILE to their capacity.

MORE $500 sRookiNes LAND

The sale last Friday Of the M. B.
Gunderson farm of 160 acres, east OF
Aurora, at 1926 per acre is another
incident disproying the assertions OF
pessimists who predicted big slump
in farm prices latter the March set
Elements" The purchaser of this farm
is Mr.. Fisty, who comes from near
Peoria, H., where land Of equal quality
is held at $500 or $500 per acre, and
he believes a good, well improved
farm, such as he has just purchased,
is cheap at 1925. AS evidence that this
is a bona fide deal it may be stated
that the initial payment was $4,000
down and $4,000 will be paid next
March, when possession will pass TO
the new owner
