from raising a big over-supply of mar
Ike potatoes. The South requires new
seed stock each year in abundance to
renew her stock, due to the ravages
OF spindle sprout and the Virus dis
eases. South Dakota has sold none
or few before this year. Due to the
presence Of Blight and other diseases
in Maine of late, Southern growers
are looking elsewhere for seed.
ITO date little if any of b~lackleg,
late blight and the very uncertain vi
rus diseases have been found in South
Dakota. AS yet most of these diseases
are limited to certain areas of Mime
sofa and are scarcely eve found in
South Dakota. True, South Dakota is
a new state in the potato business.
However, his year it has made a great
bid for n of. the 10 big potato states.
All in all, South Dakota can and
will grow potatoes. 1t is admirably
adapted to do 80 possibly not on a
tremendously large scale, but on "A
conservative one. No one. | think, de-
sireS to make it a leading state, but
many hope earnestly that guided by
reason and rule it will become a con-
~servatlve product Of IN excellent quail
ity seed potato, one for which growers
of market potatoes will clamOr."

LESS GRAIN NEXT YEAR

South Dakota farms have, for many
years, been factories where grain
crops were the principal products
manufactured,' says Ralph r. Jhon-
ston, extension agrOnomist at State
college, but such factors as keen
competition, a soil overworked from
growing grain crops and disturbed
world conditions, make some changes
necessary in the farm factories OF
the state.
Farmers everywhere are asking the
question, What shall we plant in
1922" NO great changes can &c.
onomically be made in established
farming systems in one year but it is
evident that many South Dakota far
mers are gradually turning away from
so much grain farming and are grad
ually adjusting theiI farm factories
to the economical production Of other
crops.
Small grain farmers are planting
more corn, alfalfa, sweet clover, soy
beans and other forage crops, while
corn growers are growing more le-
gume crops.
THE big change being made is in
the direction Of a greater acreage of
legume crops and 1923 should be a
'legume year No one single change
on South Dakota farms could mean
more for the state"

BURN OUT CHlNCH BUGS

Half a days work on the average
ing off the chinch bugs, will be suffic-
ient to insure that farm against ser
ious chinch bug injury again next
season, according to a. l.. Ford, eX-
tension entomologist at State college.
Investigators have found hat fully
so per cent of these bugs pass the
winter in bases of bunch-forming
grasses, or in fence rows, road sides
and hedges. These are the places that
should be burned off closely in early
winter, as few chinch bugs can sur
vive such treatment. South Dakota
farms in some sections have been in.
tested with the chinch bug, but prop
er burning at this time will save the
land from further damage next sea-
son. However, it is not necessary to
burn stubble or cOrnStalkS, as ento-
mologists have found that less than
two per cent of the chinch bugs are
harbored through the winter in corn
stalks and stubble, and burning Of
these places is also hard on the fer
tility of the land involved.
According to Mr.. Ford, every female
chinch bug left to winter will repro
iuce about 10000 bugs by the latter
part of next Burning out
the bugs will thus mean a saving of
much South Dakota corn.

SOIL HERE FINE FOR SPUDS

South Dakota should raise potatoes
because she can, DR.. Arthur T. Evans,
Associate A~gronomist and crop path
ologist Of South Dakota State college,
told the convention of he South Da-
kOta Potato Growers association, and
proceeded to explain his statement by
saying:
The soil of the eastern half of the
state, especially that Of the Sioux val
ley, is admirably fitted for the produc-
ton of this great crop. The success
Of the crop is best attested to by the
increase in acreage which the state
has shown. The acreage from 1920 to
1922 increased approximately % per
cent. or from 5000 to 100, 900 acres.
For the past ten years the average
production of all acres planted has
been So bushels. The increase in car
lot shipments is indicative of the value
Of the potato as a crop in South Da-
kota.
Il nm more and more convinced hat
the state will tend towards a seed pro-
ductiOn state getting away if possible

One Of the youngest of American
writers to achieve instantaneous sue
cess. His first novel, "The Voice of
the Pack" was published in 1920,
and was one Of the most noteworthy
books Of that year.
Then success came to him from a
different kind Of literary effort, for
he won the o. Henry prize for the
best American short story of 1921.
The award is an annual offering
made by the Society Of Arts and
Sciences of New York as a memorial
to o. Henry. In addition to the rec
ognition it carried a cash bonus Of
$500, which was ample for Mr.. Mar
shall to journey from his home in
Medford, Oregon, to receive the dis
tinction and be guest Of honor at the
dinner which accompanied it.
Just a country newspaper boy who
started in to write big stories Of ro-
nance, adventure and nature lore in
his native mountains. His second
book, "The Strength Of the Pines,"
has duplicated the success Of the first
one. We have been fortunate enough
to secure it as a serial for this pap Z.

RIDES ON A CLOUD

The Associated Press is the author
ity for the following news story which
rivals the famous ascent Of Elijah on
a cloud as told in the Bible. The age
of miracles has not yet passed. The
starry follows:
Sam Funk, the ten year old son of
Peter Funk, farmer residing in the
western section Of the state, recently
had the distinction of riding through
the heavens on what appeared to be a
cloud, according to reports from Tim
Der Lake, S. ID.
The srepOrt a V father and son
were riding horseback through the
breaks on a beautiful moonlit night.
The pair paused on a high butte when
their attention was attracted by an
odd looking cloud drifting slowly to-
ward them.
The object came steadily onward
until its edge rested on the butte. The
son ran to the edge of the cliff ana
walked out on the cloud.
AS if waiting for its mite of human
freight, the vapory mass drifted
across the valley with the boy.
The father was astounded and start
ed in hot pursuit. After a chase Mr..
Funk arrived at the inland town of
Top Bar, where two a%viators, j.. r.
Ruggles and Alvin McKistry Of De-
troit, had landed to overhaul their
plane.
The parent persuaded the airmen
to aid him in his effort to recover his
son. They consented and finally a
landing was effected on the object high
in the air.
The father found his son uncon
scious from cold. The body was plac
ed in the plane after the flyers had
cut out a piece of the cloud" and
taken it with them for examination.
Both father and son were landed at
their ranch home, the boy none the
worse for his strange experience.
Report from the airmen from San
Francisco, which place they were en-,
route to when forced to land, is to
the effect that the cloud was a Pc
culiar form Of seaweed that rises into
the air when dry and settles to the
earth upon absorbing water.

ELkTON
From the Record:

From the Record:
Mrs. Ed Radeke of Bookings, Wis
tied friends here between trains Sat
urday.
Mrs. f.. Sasse and little daughters
went to Brookings Saturday for a
weeks visit with relatives there.
Elkton will feel a distinct loss in the
departure Of the r. A. Berke family
from its midst. But what is our loss
will be gain for Brookings, where they
will cast their future lot. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Berke have filed a large
of Elkton. Mr.. Berke has been a prom
inent lawyer here for the past eleven
years and has taken an active part in
the public life Of the community. He
has also been a prominent Mason in
the local lodge having held the office
Of WOrshipful Master of the lodge.
His loss Will be keenly felt. Mrs.
Berke is a popular member Of the En-
broidery club, the Woman's club, O. f.
s., of which she was Worthy Matron
the past year, and has taken response
bic part in musical circles, being a
very accomplished musician. She has
always been willing to lend her talents
for the good Of the community and it's
various organizations upon every Oc-
casiOn, and her departure will leave
a place that will be hard to fill. AS
token Of the esteem in which the
Berkes have been held here several
receptions have been given them by
the organizations with which they
have been connected. Last Wednes-
day evening the Embroidery Club ten
dered Mrs. Berke an eight o'clock din
ner at the home of Mrs. Mabel Mar
shall. Thursday evening the NJ. f..
church honored them at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Foreman. Music,
games and refreshments were in
dulged in and an especially fine time
was enjoyed, although tinged with a
feeling of regret at their approaching
departure. The many friends Of the
Berkes will join the Record in express
ing regret at their departure from
among us, but at the same time wish
them success in their new home, and
commend without reservation to the
good people of B%rookings.

By the fact that the dairymen Of New

whole dairy industry Of New England
would suffer.
Albert Williams Of Woodstock

Patriot
The farmers Of New England who
have been shipping their milk to the
Whiting Company Of Boston are still
in the midst of strike and it is not
yet evident just how or when It will
terminate.
The farmers are in the right and
are trying to put an end to conditions
that nave been unjust and have be
come iHtolerable.
Take. for instance. the month Of
June. 1921 (and this month compares
favorably with other months the far
mer received approximately cents
per quart net for bis milk 100 miles
from Boston Sixty per cent Of this
mix Has sold by tine dealer as market
milk for which he received rs cents

arr cent. was termed rs surplus milk.
ard for this milk the farmer received
less than the market value of butter

received nothing for the other vulua-
