Collapse in Corn
Prices Depresses
Wheat Quotations
Rural Holders of Coarser
Grain Liquidate ON Early
Drop to Lowest for Crop;
Slack Buying a Factor

CHICAGO, March 3o.-Grain under
went severe setback in price to-day,
largely as result Of liquidation on
the part Of rural holders Of corn.
Wheat closed heavy, aW5Ac net lower,
with May $f.ss% @s1.4o and July
$121@$1.2fA. Corn lost 2h@2Ac to
enc, and oatss sN@1h to 1%c. Pro-
visions gained &c to SOC.
Likelihood that no harm to the growing
wheat crop had been done by recent un-
seasorable weather made the wheat mar
ket open to the influence of unusual de-
preston In tho corn trade. Some reports,
indeed, were to tho effect that lower tenn
pcrature had been n benefit instead OF a
detrment to wheat. because too rapid
growth had been given a needed check.
Bearsh sentiment was also emphasized
owing to tho nearly complete absence of
new export business. Tho lack of conf
derce on tho buying side became especially
apparent In the last hour, when the corn
market was under heavy selling pressure.
IT could scarcely be said that wheat offer
ings were OF larger volume but no support
developed and valued crumpled away.
All deliveries of corn and oats dropped
crop. No Industries were In tho market as
buyers OF corn. and offerings to arrive had
shown \ material increase. Persistent soil
inx Of small lots by houses with country
connections WAS a feature.
Packers buying at tho last rallied the
provision market from declines due to the
weakness OF grain.

The cotton market was quiet yes

by reactions, but in general way
the undertonc was steady and the mar

points.
Such influences as there wore in tho

tho British coal mints Is rather too grave
matter to be ignored. but no special fear

bined with tho steady ruling OF Liverpool
After losing nearly all its carly advance
the market stffcned UP a few points In
the later trading.
The weekly report OF tho Weather Blu
reau indicated generally good progress
with crop preparations or planting in
Southern parts of the belt.
Southern spot markets. az officially re-
ported, were generally unchanged to rs
points higher. with niddling quotations
ranging from 1o.6Sc to l3c. The volume

DO WE NEED VISION2

During these days of reconstruction,
the Teactionary spirit is dominant.
Cold hard facts block the view so
that but very few can see beyond the
horizon. Men of vision and dreamers
are scoffed at. The idealism Of the
wal period has suffered a reaction to
the opposite extreme. The material
facts Of the moment occupy the scope
Of the present day mind. Mr.. Ran
dalls talk at the community meeting
last Thursday emphasized the neces-
sity of vision in accomplishing any
undertaking for the public good. There
must be vision before action. And
It must be the right kind Of vision.
Some men of clear vision can see
way back into the dim past distinctly
but can not see into the future. They
have what is called an excellent hind
sight. But it is foresight that we
need to properly develop Brookings
and the state Of South Dakota. Every
bit of progress and development made
by this city, and state was accom-
plished by dreamers, by men of vision,
by people with foresight.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1921-03-17

in joining hands in a rural life con
ference which was held at the college
last week. There is an enormous
force working for the betterment OF
rural life in South Dakota when you
get them all together. TO The aver
age person it must have been a sur
prise 10 see the large number Of or
CARNATIONS represented at the con-
ference. Heretofore practically all Of
these agencies have been working in
derendcntly. They have different
names, different methods, different in
many other ways, but they all have
the same purpose for their goal. The
bettermcnt of rural life. BY co-ordi-
mating their work and combining their
efforts efficiently, a great step VIII
have been made toward the realization
of their high aims. Community wei
fare is a vital matter and South Da.
kota can be a leader in the progress
of this development by following n
the line marked by the rural life con
ference held last week.

GREAT WORK HANDICAPPED

No single agency has done more for
the Improvement of fruits, plants and
agricultural products adapted to the
western uplands than the department
Of horticulture at State college under
the direction of Dr.. n. f.. Hansen,
whose fame is international. A glance
through any seed catalOg or nursery
list will show at once the multitude
of things we W to DR., Hansen. Our
best varieties Of plums, cherries, ap-
pies, crab apples, r~aspberries, goose
berries, muskmelons, watermelons, al
falfa. prose- and sweet clover, all are
the result of the experimental work
of the horticultural department of
State college in connection with the
adapting OF the hardy plant life of
Siberia to South Dakota. These OK
periments have been the greatest fac
tor In making the comparatively arid
prairies of the western states a true
garden spot for these fruits, trees,
ornamentals, vegetables and grains are
adapted to that kind of climate. But
everyone knows OF the great work that
has been done by this department
but we wonder If everyone knows that
the work Is seriously handicapped at
present because of the lack Of land
to experiment upon. DR.. Hansen has
about 200, 900 fruit seedlings ready for
spring but nowhere to plant them, sc
they must be jammed into nursery
rows like sardines. He needs a sec
ton of high western upland near
Pierre for these seedlings. He also
asks for a quarter section near Mo
bridge where it would be possible for
Prof. ]. w. Wilson, director OF the
experiment station. to further develop
the Siberian fat rumped sheep which
DR.. Hansen brought from Siberia. Also
to give room for further experiments
with the Siberian alfalfas. The de
partment also needs some good nur-
sery land in the southeastern part OF
the state. 1t would seem that with the
vast quantities of public owned lands
in this state it would be possible to
turn over this small parcel to the hor-
ticultural department. There is certain
" no way in which it could be util-
lied with more profit.
