GIFT CORN

Huron, s. OAK, April 2O.-A train
load of thirty cars of corn donated by
South Dakota farmers for the relief of
the starving in Europe and the Near
East.
The South Dakota Farm Bureau feo-
Grafton feels chesty over the fact that
it has made good the boast that it
would sponsor the giving OF a train
load of corn In this state officers of
the federation are elated also because
South Dakota win thereby receive at
least $1,00O,0 0e worth Of advertising
as a corn state. Nothing more sensa-
tional could have happened, they say,
to prove that South Dakota Is in the
corn belt.
Early reports from headquarters in
dictate that the South Dakota gift of
corn leads all other states in the ma
ltion In proportion to population and
amount OF corn produced Further, ac-
cording to a representative OF Carl
vrooman. who visited the state last
week. a South Dakota county's gift OF
seven carloads of corn established the
county record for the United States
w. s. Hill. president OF the South
Dakota Farm Bureau federation, who
was ~gift-corn director for this state.

SWEET CLOVER

over three tons of white sweet Glow
seed will be planted in Hand Coun-
ty this year. This crop Is a wonder
full humus producer and soil builder
as well as pasture and feed crop.
Farmers running milk COWS are find
ing in this crop a real cream check.
Where native grasses require from
four to six acres to carry n COW, a
sweet clover pasture will carry two
cows and a brood sow on one acre.
That Hand County farmers are re-
spending so well to sweet clover utili-
cation, shows their familiarity with
farm periodicals and weekly news
papers. Sweet clover has been given
much space by the farm press and
weekly newspapers of the Northwest
during the past three years.
The crop proves its worth and gains
a convert every time a patch is plant
ed. North Dakota and Canadian farm
ers discovered its value generally be-
fore the farmers of South Dakota did.
Much prejudice has prevented the
seeding of sweet clover in South Dako-
TIA, presumably because of the close
proximity to the State of Iowa where
it was long considered a weed pest.
After a fair trial very few farmers
ver farm without a good acreage of
this valuable legume.

FIRM REACTION
In CATTLE MART
Lighter Receipts and Improved Stock
or and Feeder Demand BuIlish
FactOrs-HOgs Lowest I'm
Years

(By Y. S. Bureau of Markets and Min
nesota Department of Agriculture)
South st. Paul, Mimi, April 16, 1921
Cattle and hog markets have pulled in
opposite directions during the current
week, most kinds of cattle showing
price gains, while hogs dropped to the
lowest level in many years.
The cattle market opened very weak
and mostly 25c lower on Monday, but
since then most kinds have shown
some advance in prices under the in
fiuence of lighter receipts and IN i'm
proved demand from outside sources.
packer buyers however, still maintain
ing their bearish attitude Good beef
steers and good and choice butcher
she stock are closing steady TO Csc
higher, other killing grades of steers
and she stock mostly soc higher.
Best steers in load lots sold from $7.75
to $500, with small lots on outside ac-
count up to $S.25, and bulk OF sales
from $6.75 to $3.50. Better grades of
butcher cows and heifers have been
scarce, a few sales being noted from
$6.75 to $7.75, with bulk selling from
$3.50 to $3.50. Prices on Gamer and
cutters going to packers remained sta
tionary at $1.50 to $3.50, but most Of
the thin ows IN the Gamer and cutter
order suitable for feeding purposes are
being purchased by country buyers
around soc above their Gamer and
cutter values. Bulls advanced so to
75c during the week, while veal calves
held steady, packer top on veals re-
naming at $3.50 all week Good and
choice stockers and feeders are % to
soc higher, with heavy feeders of those
grades selling from $500 to 800, AMI
the same grades of stockers from $500
to $500.
Rapid declines and more or less de-
preston in grains and provisions and
increased receipts of hogs in the ag-
gregate at leading central markets
have been bearish factors in the weeks
hog trade, prices dropping to the low
est level in many years. Range today
$3.50 to $S.75, bulk $3.50 to $3.50. Pigs
broke sharply during the week. with
good pigs selling today at $3.50. No
choice wooded lambs arrived, best here
being clippers OF choice grade selling
from $S.35 to $3.50 Clipped ewes sold
up to $3.50, wooded $500.

Wool Pooling

y ROOFING
Huron, April fS.-Wool pooling has
proved to be the most successful dem
o~nstration of cooperative marketing
over a wide area ever attempted by
American farmers, according to G.. j.

ton.
Pooling has been the salvation of
many growers, he said. With the
strengthened market since the first of
the year, some of the 1920 clip has
been absorbed. Buyers turn to the
pools because there they find the wool
graded and in suitable quantities for
sale. Practically the only wool bought
this yea has been from pools.
"The wool growers want the con-
Stunning public to know just the posi-
ton they are in" he says. 1.-THE wool
market was particularly hard hit by

Housewives can well afford to

a physical impossibility to sell
fresh eggs at 40 cents dozen.
There are some good storage eggs
on the market, but they should
be sol das SUCH. The general
price OF fresh eggs is As cents.
While butter has remained at
53 cents pound for some time,
scarcity Of top grades over the
entire country may affect the
supply in the northwest and cause
a rise In price. It is hard to tell
just what the supply is In larg
er centers, but If the reported
scarcity Is true, there Will un-
doubteely be an increase.
Lemons have gone up so cents

not enough to warrant any in
