SHORT-SiGHTED POLICY

Hoosier Farmer-Opponents of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
who seem to fear that this nation
wide organization of the farmers is
for the sole purpose of boosting food
costs to prohibitive heights, have
adopted a very foolish policy in at.
tempting to show that public funds
appropriated for the support of the
department of agriculture, particularly
the states relations service and coun.
ty agent work, are being misapplied.
AS a matter of fact the general pub
lie is as vitality interested in the con.
tinued welfare of the farmers of the
united States as are the farmers
themselves.

RECORD WHEAT EXPORTS

Bradstreet's - Excellent export de.
mand throughout the cereal year and
a generally high range of prices have
resulted in a very good year for the
American wheat farmer, all things con-
sidered. In the opening month of the
year the average export price per
bushel was $3.50, but by May of this
year the price was 1922 less, but the
constancy of the demand through the
year Offset a good deal of the loss in
price, which was 43 per cent between
the first and eleventh months of the
year. The exports for eleven months,
wheat and -four reduced to a wheat
equivalent, aggregated 933,767,419
bushels, valued at 1892, 997, 1868, a gain
of 6S per cent in quantity and of 81
per cent in value over the like period
Of the proceeding year.. The mainte-
nance of these percentages throughout
June would result in a years export
trade in wheat exceeding, both in guam
tity and value, that for any proceeding
year in the country's history.

The prevailing styles. he says, have
caused more ineficiency in railroad
Offices than any other agency. And
his statement concerning the likeli.
hood Of errors creeping into ledgers,
due to the effort of the young men
working over the books to watch too
many figures, raises speculation as
to how many errors really have been
made in the ledgers. Can it be that
such mistakes have something to do
with the poor showing made by the
railroads in recent months? Had
rolled stockings not distracted the
ledger wardens, it is possible that
deficits would have been much less,
and there would be hope for a reduc-
ton in freight rates?
1t is just n chance in 1000, 900.

STILL HAVE THE OLD SPIRIT

With the return of the disabled vet
Grams of the World war from the ma
tional convention held at Detroit
where they represented the State col
lege post we believe that n of the
most noteworthy things they did anc
the one that should receive mention
in these columns, was their march into
the assembly hall Of the socialist ma
tional convention in session in Detroi,
at the same place and warned the SO
cialists that the disabled veterans Of
the United States were ready to fgh'
again to defend the flag against sedi
ton, disloyalty and treason. The ac'
was significant. The disabled veter
ans OF the war have perhaps received
the most unjust treatment by the gov
eminent of any citizen or class o.
citizens in the nation. They would
have every excuse to say that they
would never fight for a country tha'

that they get their Ire up when the!

WHERE NORMALLY BEGINS

When the process of deflation and
~readjustment began it was plainly ap'
parent that the farmer was the first
to be hit and he was hit hard. Agri-
culture being the basic industry and
the source of the nations wealth ii
was natural that the process should
begin at the bottom. The rest Of the
country didn't feel 1t so much until
the effect Of the loss of buying power
on the part of the farmers of the ma
ton stagnated business. In looking
for normalcy We must expect it to
begin on the farm. II we are to pull
the business of the country out Of the
hole we must pull the farmer out first.
There r many leaders in congress
who see this clearly and the Joint cor
gressional committee which has been
appointed to formulate legislation to
help agriculture, shows that the farm
err Is beginning to occupy the place he
deserves In the minds of those who
are trying to solve the economic prob.
lens Of the country. Congress may
not be able to perform any miracles
but they may do a great deal L help
the farmer, in encouraging his cooper
alive marketing plan, in the extension
Of credits, and in turning the eyes of
the people toward the farmer so that
he may have the weight Of public
opinion In his favor.

| tie else than an adventurar, dreamer
or to say the least, a man Of mighty
poor judgment. Today, South Dakota
is recognized as one Of the great farm
ing states of the great northwest. Ac.
| cording to the last census South Dako.
ia farm land is valued at an average
Of $71.62 per acre--and it might be
added that at that figure it is the best
land for the price in the northwest.
The total value of farm lands and build.
ings in the state is $2,472, 697, 091, flank
ing right up with Indiana and Ohio,
old settled states. South Dakota Is a
great state and is becoming gre&ter
with each passing year. At times there
are adverse conditions to be met but
these times are not SO numerous, And
the conditions seldom as critical, Vas
those encountered in other sectionsf of
the country. Those who are inclined
to cuss the state whenever conditions
do not appear to be ideal, should bean
these facts in mind. It's averages that
count, and South Dakota averages up
with the best of them as to climate, as
to crops, as to prosperity and as to all
the things worth while.
In this connection the following arti-
Gle, based on the last census, will be
of interest:
South Dakota ranks second among
the states of the union in the average
value per farm of it's farm lands and
buildings, and second in the acreage
of it's farms, according to an official
census rating Of the states in a bulletin
issued in Washington on farm values
in 1920.
South Dakota farms show an aver
age value for farm lands and build
ings of $33,122 for each farm, com
pared with an average of $10,514 for
the entire country. Iowa is first
among the states of the union with
an average value for farm lands and
buildings of $33,616 for each farm.
South Dakota ranks second only
to North Dakota among the states of
the union in the average number of
acres per farm. South Dakota has IN
average farm acreage of 438, and
North Dakoat leads with an average
of 467 acres per farm.
