3 INSTITUTIONS
ARE OVERDRAWN

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Sept 3d.
Three state institutions had over
drawn their annual appropriations
at the close Of the state fiscal year
today. They were the colony for
feeble minded at Butlerville. the
state tuberculosis sanitarium at
Rockville and the women's prison,
Indianapolis.
The prison has spent only lit
tie more than $500 over its apLro-
priation. The other institutions have
overdrawn more heavily, but the ex-
act amounts cannot be determined
for some time yet, officials say.
Offices of the state fire marshal
and Of the superintendent OF build
ings and grounds have also been
operated out of emergency funds
during the closing days of the year.

URGES HOT WATER
SEED TREATMENT
Disease Loss Will Be Wiped
Out by Application of
Method.

Hot water treatment of seed
wheat is one of the biggest pieces of
work being undertaken this fall by
TO improve next years wheat crop
by wiping out loose smut, a destruc-
tive disease.
II is declared considerable seed
will be treated this year Much of
this will be sown in a small plot so
as TO provide pure seed for next
years crop, although men who have
treated their wheat before have
enough seed TO sow their entire crop
this year and many have enough to
supply their neighbOrs. which is be-
ing done in many communities.
Reports from over the state on
fields harvested this year which
were sown last fall with treated
seed show the value Of this method.
In practically every instance the
men who used the method report
that a large percentage and many
times practically all the weeds were
killed in the field. The hot water
kills the weed seeds which may be
in the seed wheat
Knox county yields were increased
from 3 TO 81 bushels pere acre;
Hancock county. from 1 to 5 bush
els; owen county, 4 bushels; Tippe-
canoe county, as high as Il bushels
per acre. a few farmers reported
lower yields from treated wheat, but
this generally was found to be due TO
the poor stand on account Of get
ting the water too hot and killing
the terminating power of the wheat
On the whole the new method is
highly successful.

The Penn State C~ollegian, published

nouncement concerning a former
BroOkings boy and State college gradu-
ate:
THE department of agriculture Of
the college the appointment
OF Professor R. A. butcher to succeed
Professor Stoddart as head of the de-
partment of agricultural chemistry.
Professor butcher, who comes from the
University of Minnesota, where he was
professor of bio-chemistry, is recog-
nized the nation over as an authority
along all lines of agricultural chem
istry and especially on the subject of
vitamins, his articles appearing from
time to time in the scientific journals
of the country.

because of the advertising given the
project by the home town paper" and
that it did not cost anyone a cent ex-
cept the publisher.-Iroquois Chief.
Just so; just so, says the Aberdeen
Journal. The Chief does not state the
s. in a boastful way, but merely
as a matter Of fact, as it is. November
7 to IL is "home town paper" week.
On that occasion, everybody who re-
tains the slightest interest in his home
town, or in his former home town If
he has left the "old nest" for other
fields, is expected to subscribe for the
old home town paper. 1t is a splendid
idea. All over the United States there
are old home town papers doing things
for the community in which they live
like Dick" Halliday Is doing for Iro.
quois with his Chief. These men are
doing things for the old home town
not only or solely for the money there
is in it, but because they like the old
home town. and love the newspaper
game. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that the greatest asset %Iroquois has is
Dick" Halliday and his IroQuois Chief.
The same thing may be said OF f.. T..
Yule and his Alexandria Herald, w. S.
ID. Adams and the Webster Reporter
and Farmer, the two Millbank papers,
Paul butchers Brookings Register, Bob
Schaber's Hudsonite, and a hundred
other South Dakota papers the Jour
nal could name. In most instances,
the men who make the papers that
make their towns well known, could
have made more money had they en-
tered some other line OF work. But
they would never have been as happy
and would never have had so much
fun out of life; furthermore, old home
town editors are making more money
now than they used to in the old days.
Some of them are bank directors, even
and II the Journals recollection Is not
at fault, Bob Schaber even runs a meat
market. But It will be a graceful thing,
and an appropriate thing to observe old
home town paper week next month, by
subscribing for the paper back home"
or in the town in which you live.

there is no confidence, men do not buy

1T Is important moreover to recog-

Of economic equilibrium as between
the producers Of raw material, the
who furnish the capital, and the
workers who draw wages. The raw
material men are back nearly to a
pre-war basis. Manufactured goods
are not. Returns to labor are not
upon a pre-war basis. When are we
going to get anything like equal earn
Ing power between these groups?
That is a question that we cannot es-
cape. Just how this readjustment IS
to be brought about, no man can def

time, and because it will take time,
there needs to be patience, steady
work, hope and courage.

A LIFELINE

Farmers and bankers Of South Da-
kota were pleased to read the an
nouncement that the war finance cor
poration had allotted fifteen million
dollars TO the northwest states to take
care of the financing OF the 1921 crop
and relieve the pressure that has been
forcing the grain on the market in
such volumes that has resulted in
even greater depression Of prices. The
war finance board has also allotted a
large sum of money for the relief
OF livestock growers in South Dakota
that is Immediately available.
These funds are made available to
the farmers through their local banks
where application Is made. The paper
held by the local banks when guaran-
teed and sufficient security being as
sured, will be r~ediscounted by the fed
eral board and the funds will become
available. 1t also permits the redis-
counting Of paper now held by indi-
vidual banks for money borrowed to
farmers previously. 1t can be seen
that a considerable easing up Of the
financial conditions of both the farm
ers and the banks will come as a re-
suit.
Eugene Meyer, director of the war

Mr.. Meyers says that the only way
to make any kind OF a profit out OF
your corn is to feed 1t to livestock.

stock and the finance corporation In
tends to furnish the money. He said,

to handle from one to three carloads
of feeders. Corn yields about four
times as much in the form OF meat
as 1t does on the grain market accord

amples have been cited where farmers
purchased feeders last June at 5 cents
a pound and after feeding them on pas
ture and corn for los days the cattle
weighed an average of 275 pounds
heavier and were marketed at 8 cents
a pound. Upon computation 1t was
estimated that the corn brought $500
a bushel when the market price was
only 20 cents.
