LIVESTOCK MARKETING NEXT

The Farm Bureau federation is NOV
ton to market, for the producers them
selves, the hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth of livestock sold every
year has been met.
The marketing committee of fifteen
appointed by the Farm Bureau fedora
ton has agreed on a plan and is about
to submit it to the livestock farmers
of the whole country.
First - Cooperative livestock ship
ping associations will hold membership
in the terminal livestock commission
associations, which in turn will hold
membership in a national association
of livestock producers. Individual
stock growers may also secure men,
bership in the terminal association.
Second-The terminal livestock COM
mission associations provide for the es
adjustment of producer-owned and CON
trolled cooperative livestock commits
sion companies at the markets where
~ IL IIih " IL vi
cooperative commission companies
must come from the producers them
selves, who will thereby pledge their
support in advance.
Subsidiary to each cooperative com
mission company will be a stocker and
feeder company, from which the pat
ronage dividends will be %prorated back
to the consignormember. The com
sion associations at the terminal
markets will be governed by boards
of directors ranging from 5 to 9
in number, who will select the
manager, hire employees and decide
questions of policy. The usual com
mission charge will be levied for sell.
ing livestock, but earnings will be pro-
rated back to the members on the pat
ronage dividend plan.
The directors of the terminal asso-
Citations will be elected by delegates
in annual convention. Voting dele
gates will be apportioned on the basis
Of shipments consigned to the terminal
association, and not by state lines.
Third The various terminal asso-
coations will federate into a national
organization, governed by a board of
not less than 7 nor more than IS di-
rectors. The national board will he
supported by the terminal commission
associations.
No contract to be signed by the
members is contemplated.
The subcommittee on cooperative
marketing will call a conference to be
held in Chicago September 2, to work
out a standardized plan for the organ
izatiOn and management of %co-opera-
tive and management of cooperative
livestock shipping associations. An eff
fort will be made to outline the ideal
shipping association.

SUNNI SILO is HANDY

"'Short pastures have come earlier
this year than usual, but this does not
bother the farmer who has a summer
silo," says Horace NJ. Jones, extern
sion dairy specialist at State college.
when pastures fail to supply enough
feed he has only to draw on his re-
serve supply in the silo. Right now
is the time to plan on having such
feed available for another year. A
small silo may be built inexpensively
and its contents, IL they are not fed
out in a single season. may be kept
over for another year. Thus the silo
serves to bridge owe a lean season

ready for filing by September l."

ATTENDANCE WILL BE lNCREAS-
ED BECAUSE OF ACTION OF
LEGISLATURE
EXPECT RECORD BREAKING ENROLMENT
Three New Appointments Completes
Teaching Staff of Bookings
City Schools.

When the Bookings city schools
open neXt week there will be a larger
enrolment than ever registered in
the history of the school. A change
in the compulsory education law of
South Dakota will be a factor in
causing this increased attendance.
The law which was passed by the last
legislature and became effective July
/, raises the ages during which chill
dren must remain in schools. All chill
dren between the ages of s and II
must attend school and complete the
eighth grade. The power of granting
excuses now rests solely with the
county superintendent, who acts as
truancy officer for the county. A neW
law also requires that the tuition of
nonresident students in high school
must be paid by the school district in
which the student lives. No part Of
the tuition will be paid by the par
ents. All teachers in public schools
will be required to take an oath of
allegiance to swear to support the
Constitution of the United States and
the state of South Dakota.
In an interview with Supt. S. w.
Johnson yesterday he stated: 'The
outlook for a large enrolment in the
city schools is most promising. Since
the rural school districts pay all of
the tuition for high school students
it is anticipated that a larger number
of nonresident pupils will be in the
BrOokingS high school than in any
former year. At no time in the life
of this nation has education received
a more universal consideration from
parents and students than at present.
There is no greater industry n Amer
lea than that of education. From sad
experience we have learn"1 he terri
Bile price of neglect in hid welfare
and universal educatiOu. II the city
schools not only is tie training Of
the mind considered of paramount in
terest but with this must go sound
morality and the protection of health
that will give to America a safe and
useful citizenship"
AS we go to press every teacher is
selected for the city schools. With
the promise of 100 per cent attend
ance for the first teachers meeting
of the year which will be held Satur-
day at 200 p. m. in the high school
room. Since the publication of the
corps of instructors in the Register
last week, three new teachers have
been elected which greatly strengthen
the faculty and completes the teach
ing force. Miss Grace Pixley of Man
kato, Mimi, was elected a teacher OF
the fifth grade. Waldemar Augustine
of Eau Claire, Wis, will complete the
staff of the junior high school. d. n.
Ling of Mankato, Mimi, will fill the
important position of manual training
instructor in the high school.
Coach r. H. Holt is expected to ar
rive today and preparations will start
at once for the football season. One
of the first things to be done is the
preparation of a schedule. Prospec
tive football material will be given
tryouts and a formal call for the first
training session will be given.

EVIL TIMES


There is a crisis everywhere, and
all the world Is in despair. I read
the news from day to day, from
countries neal and far away. and
I'm discouraged as I mark u pros
poets, desolate and dark. Oh, an
archy and doom and wreck and
countless evils are on deck: some
crisis every day appears and humps
its back and wags Its ears, and
statesmen cry, as they've long cried,
THE tail must travel with the hide"
For six long years it's been the
same; the crisis played its low down
game, and filled us with the dumps
and blues. and kept us shaking in
our shoes. We had a crisis months
ago because no prices then were
low, and proiteers were on our trail
demanding all our hard-earned kale.
That crisis slumped, another rose,
and now low prices are u foes;
because the cost no longer scars, a
thousand mills have closed their
doors. and voorhees, Morkmen walk
the streets and clamor vainly for
the eats, and soak the silken shirts
they wore when t'other crisis had
the floor. I'm tired of all this crisis
stuff; they've fed me up-I've had
enough. Let's drill along with
sprightly tread and talk of happy
days ahead, and practice thrift and
do Jul stunts, and heave some smiles
instead of grunts.
