WOMEN OF ONE COUNTY
MAKE 1872 DRESS FORMS

Bookings, S. D.-Women of
Brookings county have become in
terested in making the homemade
dress forms recommended by the
home demonstration department of
the State college extension service,
as a result of which interest %
meetings have been held in the
county and 152 dress forms have
been made. The average cost of max
ing the forms is IS cents. The aver
age cost of the commercial dress
form is about SIS. Figuring on this
basis the Brookings county women
saved more than $4,000 in making
the forms alone. One woman writes
that she made two suits on her dress
form at an estimated saving of $40.
Many of the women find the forms
OF special help in sewing for their
daughters who are attending col
lege.

FOR INCREASED FARM PRoFITs
WATCH THE YIELD PER ACRE

Brookings, S. D.="Yield per acre
is an important factor in increasing
profits from farming" says H. d.
Mccullough, of the farm manage
ment department of the State col
lege extension service.
"Those farmers who make the
largest net incomes secure slightly
higher yield per acre than do their
neighbors. This difference may not
be more than 10 percent and is sell
dom more than 80 per cent, but il
is- one of the factors that makes the.
difference between farming and
failure
This does not mean that one
should apply commercial fertilizers
and make heavy applications of
manure in an effort to get so bushels
|of wheat or 100 bushels of corn per
acre. In this case the last few
bushels would cost more than they
are worth.
Use Better Seed
"This 10 percent increase in yield
can often be secured by using lit
tie better seed. There are missing
hills in every corn field. An IS per-
cent stand looks pretty good from
the road, but it won't pay the mort
gage or send the children to school.
"a better prepared and more
nearly level seed-bed insures uni
form termination and more even
stand. This proper handling Of the
land before planting destroys manv
weeds. that would have lowered the
yield.
"During the war we heard great
deal about increased production
The war is over now and we are pri-
marily interested in profits. Other
things being equal, the man whose
crop yields are slightly above the
average for his community will make
the largest net profit

PVT WATER IN MILK;
But BEFORE MILKING

Brookings, S. D.-"There is per-
haps no one thing OF which COWS are
in more need during this hot wealth
er than plentiful supply OF good,
clean. cool, fresh water" says Hor-
ace NJ. Jones, extension dairy spe-
cialist at State college. milk is
about 81 percent water and COW
requires about three pounds OF water
for each pound OF milk produced.
This gives some idea of the great
amount OF water which dairy COW
will drink when she has access to it,
The exact amount depends upon the
COW. the time OF the year, the
amount of milk she gives, and the
feed which she is getting. 1t is good
practice to provide an abundance

Du PoNT n SENATE

The Du Pont interests, powder,
paint monopoly, roofing and dozen
other related commodities, have aban-
doned the practice of having hired
man in the United States senate.
The change of policy involved hav-
ing healthy senator from Delaware
resign so that the governor could APP
point Coleman Du Pont to the position.
This, Of course. was matter easily
attended to even if the governor was
q Democrat while Du Pont is a Re
publican, and we feel sure that the
obliging governor and senator will be
well taken care of, considering their
small size.
Probably it would be much better
to have ]. P. Morgan, Judge Gary, q
Rockefeller, Charles Schwab and
enough others Of that kind in the
senate to make majority instead Of
their hired men. The public could
then grasp the situation q little more
clearly.

sQUABBLE ON HIDE TARIFF

High protection advocates suddenly
discovered the evils Of protection when
some farm organization representa-
tive suggested q is per cent duty on
hides. 1;ley all knew it would be bad
for the farmer, while prohibitive
tariff on dyestuffs would be just what
the farmer needed.
The protectionists who suddenly
grasped the error of their ways on this
hide schedule dug up a letter written
by James G. Blaine to William Nc
Kinley when the latter was fixing up
the old Mckinley tariff bill in 1890, in
which Blaine spoke for New England
shoe manufacturers as follows:
at would be a great mistake to
place tariff on hides. 1t would bene-
fit the farmer by adding about per
cent to the cost of his children's
Shoes"

times to make a 1O0-per-cent income
look half or one-third as large. Banks,
insurance companies, estates, capital-
lists hold these stocks and unless
farmer and worker dig much harder in
normal times to pay the normal in
come on these watered stocks, our
financial structure comes tumbling
down. So unless a farmer or worker
can get over trembling when big bust
ness yells radical, he should willingly
do twice as much work for the same
money.
The fallacy of Hoover's economics
is that the workers can not by any
amount of income sacrifice save our
business system. The overhead bur
den with defiation is far too heavy to
be borne. They can't succeed as slaves
even if they want to.
When labor and the farmers kept
quiet while big business had its orgy
Of war profiteering. they wrecked the
monopoly system of doing business.

fail" is the reply John Shelton Will
liams, former comptroller Of currency,
declares he got from member Of the
federal reserve board when he protest.
ed against lending at usury rates to
small country banks.
This member then went on to say:
III this plan means the failure of
the small state banks, that need not
stop US; in fact, il we can't get rid of
the small state banks by any other
methods, it might be well to get rid
a. them in that way"
What is meant here by plan was the
federal reserve board policy of depriv-
ing agricultural sections Of the coun-
try Of credit last fall, which we have
frequently exposed in these columns
We hive also advanced the theory that
the reserve board was trying to stran-
gle small banks at the same time with
this policy and with its par collec-
ton" methods.
FOUR PER CENT A MONTH
Mr.. Williams gives the following
Illustrations to show how ruthless
against the small banks and the farm
er the federal reserve board has been:
"A valiant little country bank in
Alabama, striving and straining to
help its farmer customers move their
crop, needed $4,000 in September,
1920, and that bank was charged at
about the rate Of per cent month
OF actually 81 per cent per annum on
. portion Of that money. The rec
ords viii show that certain small
banks in Colorado, Kansas, Texas,
Louisiana, Alabama and other states
were charged by their reserve banks
n exceptional cases from two to Ave
tjnee . much rs the rates charged by
e1Seother civilized government in the
19sld: 1hese amazing rates are
wholly without excuse.
sswhile snail binks n the farming
diBtricts were being taxed in this man
4ef, great banks in New York were
beng supplied with practically I'M
limited amounts Of money ats, 8 and
2 per cent per annum. The records
will chow that while the little bank
IN Alabama was charged 5000 for
TIE use Of $4,000 for two weeks
time, big bank in New York, whose
funds were largely employed in specu-
lattve operations, was given the use of
$500 900 for the same cash considera-
ton. The policy Of the federal reserve
