Creditab!e Showing Made
By State Rural Credits

With but one foreclosure out of a
total of nearly thirty-three millions
loaned is the record of the South Da-
kota rural credits loan department.
The showing of the federal loan
bank at Omaha, which does business
in the district composed of the states
of Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota ano
Wyoming, shows applications for
loans amounting to $89,137, S45, with
loans closed amounting to $49,933, 790.
For the same date the South Dako-
ia rural credits plan, which works in
South Dakota alone, showed applica-
tions for loans amounting to $685.
$50, and loans made of S32,S96, $50.
Incidentally, with this the South
Dakota rural credits commission has
just commenced proceedings in its
first foreclosure after four years
business and making the loans indi-
Gated above.
This is in a case from Jackson
county, where $1,100 was loaned, and
the applicant becoming entangled
with other financial deals, left the
country and his whereabouts are un-
known.
A Sioux City loan company has a
second claim against the land and
there is no question as to the state
getting the money due on foreclosure.

the National Non-partisan League de-
bated the advantages and disadvan-

During the debate, followers of the
speakers frequently rose to their feet
and attempted to engage in encoun-

it was feared police would have to be
called upon to keep order but as the
debate progressed the audience be-
came quieter.

South Dakota Boasts
75,655 Farms In 1920

AS the summer eason opens, and
pleasure ars filed with passengers
journey over the country roads and
along the public highways, citizens
are amazed at the actual number of
farms in the state of South Dakota.
Everyone knows South Dakota is a
prosperous farming section. Few
know how many farms there really
are, however.
According to data received by the
Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce,
interesting figures have been compil-
ed as to the total number of farms
that there are in this state.
In 1900 there were 1892 farms in
South Dakota. The large increase in
20 years time is shown in the compar-
ison of 1920, with the total number
OF farms listed as 1855.
In 1910, tenants on farms in South
Dakota numbered 1,451 while there
were 531 farms that were controlled
by managers, and 40,640 farms that
were occupied by the owners them
selves.
While in 1920, from the total num-
Der of farms in the state, 1881 of
them were occupied by their owners;
1872 by managers, and 27,042 tenants
were running South Dakota farms.
The rate of percentage from those
figures show that in 1906, there were
PAS per cent tenant owners. In 1920,
the figures compiled show SO per cent
tenant owners. This indicates that
farmers are largely moving 20 the
cities, to spend their money and enjoy
a few years of city life, while SOM
city folks to the country: rent
on proft-sharing plans, and find en-
joyment in the open country, in the
great out-of-doors.
