WATCH US GROW

Argus-L eader - Information that
every South Dakotan ought to have
and be familiar with is the new public
ity pamphlet about the state issued in
June by the state immigration depart
ment.
For instance the state has an annual
average rainfall of z1.59 inches which
is four more inches tnan New York
state two inches more than either Ohio
or Illinois and 10 inches more than
France and OF the average total in this
state, IL inches usually comes in the
growing period, disproving the old the
DRY of the east that South Dakota is a
%sun-baked prairie state.
While this state ranks thirty-seventh
in population, twenty-eighth in the
value of farm lands and buildings, the
average value of it's $4,000 farms is Sec
ond only to Iowa, with a valuation of
$33,122 per farm.
Although ranking ninth among the
corn producing states, our state in 1921
produced 131, 900, 900 bushels and cut
ranked Kansas. In 1890 we were
t~wenty-fifth On the list, showing what
good soil and persistence and the right
kind of advertising can do.
Between 1910 and 1920 South Da-
kota jumped 81 per cent in the value
OF livestock production with sheep,
beef cattle and horses making up the
valuation in 1920 there was a total of
1.S1S,7S4 beef cattle In the state.
Not so bad for a comparatively new
state but watch the next 10 years with
hogs and dairying.

a business standpoint, the delay was
worth while to the residents Of this
state. OF course, there are people in
the state who are seeking the con-
%struction Of the plant for selfish rea-
sons, as vas evidenced in the las,
primary election. They are attempting
to force construction regardless of cost
to the state, il they can benefit there
by, but the average citizen will be we'll
satisfied with the slower progress.
The option on the site for the plant
will probably be taken up in the near
future, and in due time the state will
w a cement plant. Finally, when
the plant is running, the critics can
only say They didn't build it as soon
as they were able" II a public com
mission can perform it's duties with no
more honest criticism than that, it has
functioned to the satisfaction Of the
great majority Of our residents.

n CEMENT PLANT

Spearfish Mail-There has been con-
siderable talk in the state, and quite a
little newspaper comment on the status
of the state cement plant at Rapid
City. Many who are presumed to
know whereof they speak have heaped
condemnation and criticism on admin
istrative heads because the plant is
not now in operation. For the informa-
ton of these critics, the Mail offers
the following information which was
obtained from a reliable source. At
the time the construction of the plant
was authorized, it was estimated that
the sum Of 50, O00, 900 would be required
to complete the plant and put 1t on a
business basis. Bonds for that sum
were authorized. 1t was realized at
the time that construction Of any
kind was comparatively expensive and
that a short delay might result in a
saving to the state. Shortly following
the bond authorization the cement
commission investigated costs and de-
cided that a delay was worth while.
This commission kept in close touch
with the cement industry, Transports
ton costs and other things pertaining
to the plant, and very recently they
obtained q revised estimate on the
cost Of the same plant. The figures
are startling. This estimate shows
that the plant may be constructed now
for less than . million dollars. From

AUXILIARY AT WORK

Ii would seem from the reports
who are working so hard to make the
B~rookings Chautauqua a success that
the attendance at this years program
will be greater than at any time in
the past. Mrs. Hutton, president Of
the Woman's Auxiliary Of the Ameri-
can Legion, with a number Of her
helpers have spent much time in or
ganizing and selling tickets, and a
good sale is reported. a. e. Anderson,
chairman of the ticket committee for
the business section, together with
other business men have canvassed
the business section and an unusual
interest is evident.
The program for this years Chau-
tauqua looks good and it is believed
that the same high standard of pro-
gram will be maintained as in the past.
One important feature of this years
program will be the children's pageant
which is to be given the seventh ave-
ming Of the Chautauqua. Miss Orpha
Haugen will assist the junior super
visor with the music in staging this
pageant. 1t is hoped that the children
Of Brookings may take advantage Of
the Junior Chautauqua which is af.
forded in this program.
Much work is required in arranging
for an enterprise such as the Chau-
tauqua, and it would be impossible
without the cooperation of a great
number of our local people who are
working so hard to make of it a really
worthwhile undertaking. The success
OF it, however, will depend upon the
number OF people who take advantage
of the opportunities brought to them
by the g%uarantors who are making it
possible.

Sioux City Journal-Trade in the
middle west district Is in a healthier
condition than it has been for a long

SHIPPERS NOT RESPONSIBLE

The South Dakota Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON has notified livestock ship
pers that with the new uniform bill
Of lading and livestock contract it is
possible for the shipper to put the en-
tire burden for the correct statement
for charges upon the railroad and con-
signee.
The statement issued by the farm
bureau follows: mo doubt, you have
at numerous times been annoyed by
the receipt of bills from the railroads
for alledged under charges on ship
carriers tariffs Of freight rates are
rather complicated, with the result
that the revision changes are frequent
ly made. The bill for under charges is
then forwarded to the commission
man, who in turn bills on the farmer.
1.-The new uniform bill Of lading and
new uniform livestock contract car
ries on it's lace this provision:
"If this shipment is to be delivered
to the consignee without on
the consignor the c%onsignor shall sign
the following statement: Delivery
shall not be made of this shipment
without payment of freight and all
other lawful charges (See Section 3
of Conditions.)' y"
Section 3 Of the Conditions on the
reverse of the livestock contract reads
as follows:
1.-The owner or consignee shall pay
the freight and average, If any, and
all other lawful charges accruing on
said property; but, except in those in
stances where 1t may lawfully be au-
thorized to do so, no carrier by rail-
road shall deliver or relinquish pos
session at destination of the property
covered by this livestock contract un-
til all tariff rates and charges thereon
have been paid. The consignor shall
be liable for the freight and all other
lawful charges. except that il the con-
signor s~tipulates by signature in the
space provided for that purpose on
the face of this contract that the car
rier shall not make delivery without
requiring payment of such charges,
and the carrier, contrary to such stipu-
lation shall make delivery without
such payment, the consignor shall not
be liable for such charges. Nothing
herein shall limit the right Of the car
rier to require at the time Of shipment
the payment OF guarantee Of
charges"
las you can see from these provi-
sions it Is possible now for the con-
signor or farmer to put the entire
burden for the correct statement Of
charges upon the carrier and the con-

DOLLAR WORTH MORE

1.-The purchasing power of farm pro-
ducts is higher for April, 1917, than
FOR a year ago or for a Forth ago,
with the exception of rye and butter"
says c. G.. Worsham in the monthly
farm economics bulletin issued by the
state department of agriculture and
State college extension service. THE
value of the farmers money is still be-
low par for when he sells his pro-
duct and uses that money to buy other
commodities his dollar is worth about
80 cents.
This means the farmer will curtail
his purchases to bare necessities, even
