Farmers Corner

Brookings, June 23.-More than
SO farm drainage projects have been
diagnosed for South Dakota land
owners within the past two months
by Ralph l.. Patty, State college ex-
tension engineer, working with the
county agents.
The uuestion as to whether 'egas
outlet was available was first deter
mined in each case. The size of tile
necessary for satisfactory system
was figured.
The most practical and ecorom7
ical way of laying out the system
was also worked out and an estimate
of the cost of putting in the system
under present prices was made.
Not many drainage projects are
going in just now, but the informa-
ton gathered from going over these.
projects can be used at any time
later on when the owner gets ready
to go ahead with the improvement,

FARMERS CANNOT AFFORD
NOT TO FIGHT CROP PESTS

With the present low cost OF ma
terials used in making poisoned
bran mash, for grasshoppers, cut
worm and army worm control, farm
ers of South Dakota cannot afford
to pass up the opportunity OF con-
trolling these pests and reducing the
crop loss from this source to the
minimum, says A. L. Ford, extension
entomologist at State college.
Materials used in making the
poisoned bran mash are much cheap
er this year than they have been for
several seasons past, according to
Mr.. Ford.
The poisoned bait, when used liz
large amounts as in community Or
county poisoning, can now be pre-
pared for slightly less than one and
one-quarter cents per pound, mixed,
exclusive of labor costs.
This material should be used at
the rate of from IL to Is pounds
per acre for grasshoppers and from
20 to 25 pounds per acre for cut
worms and army worms.
''This certainly makes the cost of
using poisoned bran mash within
limits of every farmers pocket
book" says Mr.. Ford.

"My father has suffered from

him any good and he just kept going

WRITES SUGGESTING

The following from the Wheaton
Gazette-Reporter by prominen.
farmer of that vicinity furnishes
considerable food for thought and is
more or less concrete evidence of
how the farmer and his products
are being handled in the republican
partys return to "normalcy:"
wheaton Granddaughter:
81 see by your paper that you urge
all people to buy in Wheaton aud
keep all business on secure basis.
and l want to say that admire your
stand, There is not man in Wheaton
that believes in spending money at
home or in your home town mora
than / do. But sometimes I wonde"
if some of the business people of
Wheaton know that WAR is over.
Or are they hoping that there viii.
be another war soon, so they can
keep on profiteering under the dis
guise Of patriotism. In order for
my two boys to get hair cut and
shave, for which the BARRIERS have
nerve to charge $3.50, the~boys had
to take and sell four dozen eggs. two
gallons OF cream and four bushels
OF oats. Then if they want to step
into the drug store and get spoon
full of ice cream with squirt of soda
and a little wind, they must take two
gallons of cream to get enough mon
ey to pay for the two spoonfuls OF
ice cream. In order to get dinner
they must take another two gallons
of cream and four dozen eggs. II
they have each pair Of shoes to get
halfsoled and the heels fixed little,
which you have the nerve to charge
1925 a pair, the boys must take four
gallons of cream, ten dozen eggs
four bushels of oats and four bushels
OF corn. Or they must take sixty
five pounds of pork, for which we
get seven cents pound. and which
the butcher sells for Is to 80 cents
a pound.
"Come now you fellows, the WAR
is over and the best par of it is
we're not going to have another war.
So you must come down to reaso"-
able price, with a reasonable profit.
which you are entitled to and no
more.
sThen the farmer can take his
family to town once in while and
spend the day with you business
men. thereby making the city OF
Wheaton desirable place to come
to and the community desirable
place to live"

To Operate

FORD RAISES WAGES ON HIS
ROAD AND MAKES PROFITS
PLACE OF FORMER
DEFICITS
(From New York Tribune)


Henry Ford has announced that,
effective July /, wages of every en-
ployee of his line. the Detroit &
Ironton Railroad, would be increased
to the Ford standard minimum basic
wage of Sc per day, plus bonuses for
demonstrated efficiency.
Beginning that date, the railroad
employees will work only six days a
week, the same as workmen in other
industries. From p. m. Saturday
to 6 a. M. Monday not wheel will
move on train or in shop thruout the
system, except that minimum requir-
ed to move milk trains. With time,
arrangements will be made so tina
Sunday operation of these also will
be eliminated.
81 believe that the secret of every
great industrial and transportation
success is service to the public NJ
Ford said. 1--WE are trying to put
this railroad on factory basis.
We're going to work the railroad six
days week, with eight-hour shifts,
and rest Of the seventh day. We be-
lieve it will mean better service to
the public.
sIn one month. with reduced
revenue of 500, 900, we showed &
