GREAT FOOTBALL TEAM

Continued from Page u
kOta State college "a a surprise TO
many editors who had their first visit
down on October Is. The following
Saturday will find the team at Fargo,
n. d., meeting their old time oppo
nents, North Dakota Agricultural col
lege. October 20 is still an open date
but hopes are entertained to sign a
on the neutral field at Watertown. The
seasons classics that will be heralded
with the greatest interest by Brookings
citizens and State college alumni, come
on consecutive Saturdays. The first
on November 5, Hobo day, at State
field against the University of North
Dakota, and the second, chiefest of
them all, at Vermillion on Dakota day,
against the University of South DakO-
ia. This is the first time in many
years that these two teams have met
on their home fields, the games usu-
ally being played on neutral ground
at Sioux Falls. An additional point
that the Jack Rabbits would like to
put a crimp in, is the fact that the
university has never lost a game on
it's home field.
The schedule is concluded with two
games away from home against
Creighton university at Omaha on
November 10, and Valparaiso at Gary,
Ind, on November 25.

PUREBREDS IN SOUTH DAKOTA

The business of raising purebreds
is still young in the state. Most of
the development in this line has taken
place in the last ten or fifteen years.
But it is II of the most important
industries and has brought recogni.
ton from states much older in agri-
culture and longer established in the
business of raising improved cattle
and hogs.
Over 80 per cen of South Dakota
farms reported %purebreds, and al
though there are only 166, 009 pure
breds on farms the fact that one farm
in three has p%urebreds is a long way
in the right direction. The prelimi-
nary report Of the census bureau
shows a total Of 1921 stand and bred
horses of which Percherons rank first
innu mber with 1929; Belgians sec.
ond, with 742; Clydesdales third, with
2S8, and French drafts fourth, with
pa. OF hogs there are 9 1,S51 pure
breds in the state according to this
report: 1860 Duroc Jerseys; 26,O45
Poland Chinas; 10,400 Chester Whites:
S,479 Hampshires. This is less than
n purebred to 20 hogs of our total
1,932,941, and secretaries of different
state purebred swine associations say
it is too low, that there are at least
200, 900 purebred swine or that 10 per
cent of all swine reported are regis.
tered or eligible to registration.
A total Of 57,10O purebred beef cat
tie are reported, Shorthorns first with
1929; Herefords, q 1868: Aberdeen
Angus, 4,78S; Polled Durhams, 1852;
Galloways, 697; and all others. $40.
The ratio of purebreds to total number
is lowest in sheep with but 6,487 pure
breds OF a total of S67, 036 sheep. or

state and the future looks exceedingly
bright for the livestock farmer. With

In the farmed sections the state is
bound to reach the highest point yet

DISARMAMENT SONG

By Riley Ryck
Said Uncle Sam to Johnny Bull,
81 wish we might agree,
Our cruisers should be cargo ships
To sail in every sea-"
Said Johnny Bull to Uncle Sam,
THAT Is all right with me,
You junk your feet Of battleships,
And I'll junk mine-maybe."
SO it's shiny on your own side
All along the line,
Johnny's for his own side,
So I'll attend to mine.
Said Uncle Sam good-naturedly
To Honorable Jap,
Lets quit our building ships and guns
For honorable scrap"
Said Toxic to Uncle Sam,
81 do not car a rap,
But you quit first, and let me keep
The honorable zap"
So it's shiny on your W side
All along the line,
Skinny or your own side
And I'll attend to mine.
-,
Said Uncle Sam to all the rest,
Its very plain to me
We" have to get together soon
And see what We may see.
Come over, boys, some afternoon
And have a cup Of tea,
Let us determine, if we can,
Just why we can't agree"
But it's shiny on your own side,
(The conference is fne)
Skinny on your own side
And I'll attend to mine.
