BOARD ENDORSES
MILK ORDINANCE
FARM BUREAU LEADERS FAVOR
REGULATIONS FOR LOCAL
DAlRYMEN
URGE FARMERS TO TEST COWS FOR T.B.
Executive Board Also Recommends a
Reduction of Salaries Of
School Teachers

The executive board of the Brook.
ings county farm bureau in session
last Saturday endorsed the movement
for the city of Brookings to compel
all dairymen selling milk within the
city limits to have their herds reg
larry tested for tuberculosis, and fur.
Their urge every farmer in BroOkings
county to have his cow tested to be
sure his family is using pure milk and
dairy products.
tuberculosis in people and especial.
ly in children has been traced through
the milk to herds Of dairy cattle hav.
ing tuberculosis. The bureau of Ami.
NAL industry Of the department OF
agriculture reported in a bulletin OF
May, 1917, that tuberculosis is trans.
mitted from cattle to hogs through
the milk and feces. Hogs fed on mily
from tubercular cattle for 3 days
showed in post-mortem examination
1O7 days later that 1873 per CEN OF
the hogs had contracted tuberculosis
Hogs fed on this milk 80 days showed
in ~post-mortem examination so days
later that 100 per cent Of the hogs
had contracted tuberculosis. Similar
conditions occur on farms and have
been traced through shipments of tn
bercular hogs 10 the large marke,
centers.
Since tuberculosis has become such
a menace to the whole nation it is
absolutely necessary that farmers
take every precaution to protect their
own families and neighbors against
this disease.
After due consideration Of a large
number of reports coming to the
Brookings county farm bureau office
the executive board passed a motion
Suggesting that all school boards re
duee the salaries Of school teachers
in Bookings county 20 per cent FOL
boards pay $50 per month as a maxi
mum wage, and further suggest thai
all rural school boards practice the
utmost economy the next few years
as one means Of reducing taxes some
where lear to an amount that the
farmers can pay. The farm bureau
board believes in a higher standard
for our rural schools, but it is almost
impossible to meet the added expense
at this time"
The farm bureau board also en-
dorses the action Of the county com
missioDers in not building bridges OF
roa6s IN the county except where nee
essary the coming season, and further
suggests that the county commission
ers dispense with all the deputies in
the county offices, where it is pos
sible, which is in accordance with the
taxpayers.

CERTIFIED SEED

IL we are going to continue raising
potatoes for market in Brookings
county the quality must be greatly
improved. Harry j. Boyts, county
agent, says, THE farmers Of Brook
ings county will standardiZe their po-
tatoes in the next three to five years
just az the Washington apple grow
ers have done with their crop, or they
will market potatoes at an unprofit-
able price. Competition with Mlcai-
gan and Minnesota potatoes is keen
and we already are forced to accept
grades below them on many of our
potatoes. l have always maintained
that the production Of a standard
grade of potatoes was our biggest
problem"
Recently investigating committees
on marketing potatoes in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Dakota have
reported that the standard of pota-
toes must be raised and that grades
must be established. The best that
the average farmer can do today is
W SIOW Ccl tlliCu pOIdtoCo. lhdI 10
a grade that will be recognized on
any market. 1t does not cost a for
tune to get certified seed potatoes. In
fact, you may already have them on
your farm. If you have potatoes prac-
tically free from disease and true to
type for the variety, they can be GER
titled before planting. Perhaps by a
little sorting o. can select such seed
from your bin.
Last year As farmers secured Early
Ohio seed potatoes at 65 cents per
bushel. This year they will be higher
as the market is better. One acre
Of certified seed will start you in the
business.
If you have potatoes in your bin
that you think can be certified, or if
you want to obtain such seed write
or phone the county agent.

ENDS LONG HIKE

j. j. Brown, better known as Lefty"
arrived last week from a 2S06 mile hike
to Galveston, Texas, and return which
he made upon a wager Of 500. Lefty
Brown was a pitcher on the Tracy,
Mimi, baseball team last summer and
in order to up some excitement
for the winter he made a wager with
another ball player that he could
walk to Galveston and back to Brook
ings between January % and April 1.
He made the trip to Galveston by Feb
ruary 20. He has a letter from the
Mayor Of Galveston to prove that he
was there or that day. This first leg
of the journey, about 1,403 miles, he
made in just 23k days. He covered
as high as 40 miles a day. He met
with fine treatment everywhere along
the route. He made his expenses by
selling pictures Of himself. He fol
lowed the King of Trails on both trips
and says that it is a fine highway,
we'll improved and plainly marked.
Lefty was so pleased with his ex-
perience that he decided to complete
his walking experience by going to
the Canadian line and back, thus max
ing a trip across the entire width OF
the United States. He left on this
new jaunt of 622 miles last Saturday

LIGHTNING DESTROYS BARN

Hans Digre, a pioneer farmer re-
siding in Brookings county, three and
one-half miles west and about a mile
north Of Hendricks, suffered a severe
loss during the heavy electric storm
a week ago Tuesday, when his barn
was struck by lightning, according to
the Hendricks Pioneer. The building,
% head Of cattle, 4 horses and two
sheep, together with the feed at hand
was burned. There was no insurance
on the property.
The fire was discovered at 5 o'clock
in the morning by Miss Maria Digre,
one Of the daughters, who on awaken
ing noticed an unusual light and arose
to investigate its source. There were
no other men aside from MI. Digre
on the place, but neighbors were sum
moned and although 1t was too late
to rescue the stock they assisted in
removing the machinery standing
ABOUT the premises.
Although a man Of means, most
men would take such a loss less philo-
sophically and MI. Digre has the sym.
patty of all. Now past 80 years, he

PARK QUESTION !.
Up TO CITIZENS
VOTERS OF BRooKINGS TO SAY
WHETHER CITY SHOULD
BUY PARK SITE
REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION APRIL 10
One City Commissioner and Two Just
ices Of the Peace Are to
Be Elected

The voters Of Brookings city will
decide whether or not the city shall
purchase the grounds of the Bookings
county fair association for a municipal
park and playground at the city cleo
ton which will be held on Tuesday,
April is. This was the decision
reached by the city commissioners,
when the question was brought up to
them at their regular meeting Monday
night. While there seems to be but
little question that a majority of the
citizens are in favor Of securing this
land for park purposes, the commits
sioners felt hat it would be more sat-
isfactory to put the question to the
vote of the people at the regular mu-
nicipal election.
The regular city election which has
been set for April 10, will also give
the voters an opportunity to elect one
city commissioner and two city just
ices Of the peace. Commissioner H.
B. Mathews is the commissioner whose
term expires. No other candidates
have as yet made known their aspira-
tons for this position. 1t is not
known whether Mr.. Mathews is a can
didate for reelection but his past rec
ord recommends him highly for the
position If he will accept it.
The grounds of the fair association,
which the city proposes to buy for
park purposes consists of about 20
acres of fine land situated just three
blocks west Of the post office on Fifth
street. The land is adaptable for park
purposes and we'll suited for effective
landscape gardening. The fair assO-
citation is considering the sale Of the
property for the sum of $11,5O0 reserv-
ing the right to use the buildings for
agricultural and educational exhibits
and stock pavilion purposes.

SHOWS SUCCESSFUL DRAINAGE

Proof that a tile drainage system
will work successfully in any South
Dakota soil when properly laid is
given in a convincing manner in a set
Of SO lantern slides just received by
the extension service OF State college.
These slides are made from actual
photographs Of a number Of drainage
systems in the state which were in.
stalled under the direction Of Prof. r..
l.. Patty, extension specialist in agri.
cultural engineering.
The object Of lAr. Patty's work
along this line, he says, Is to save as
much as possible of the vast amount
Of money which has beer wasted in
the older states through putting in
drainage systems which have had ia
be done over again. The slides will
be used by Mr.. Patty In illustrating
his lectures on drainage In the eastern
part Of the state.

NATIONAL Y. OFFICE HERE

A Meeting Of the members OF the
County Y. w. C. A. was held at the
Library Monday afternoon to hear
Mrs. E. F. Wilson Of Huron, explain
the National work of the Y. w. c. A.
Mrs. Wilson has been appointed one
Of the three finance commissioners for
the states Of Minnesota, Iowa, Me-
braska and North and South Dakota.
Their duty has been to visit the local
associations allotted to them to make
clear to the members, especially the
financial side of the national work,
and to give them an opportunity to
make any criticisms or suggestions
which might occur to them and which
would help guide the national nve
ton, which meets at Hot Springs,
Ark, April 1923, in planning for the
next two years work. 1t was found
that the Y. w. G.. A., like all other
national organizations has had to cut
down greatly on the overhead which
increased so rapidly during the war.
The local quotas for national work
are only about one-half as large this
year as last. Mrs. Wilson also
touched on the issues to come before
the convention. The Hot Springs
convention promises to be very in
teresting for any who can attend.
Mitchell, Sioux Falls, Aberdeen and
Huron will have representatives, but
so far as it is not known that any
will attend from Brookings. Anyone
interested may get particulars from
the Y. w. c. A. office.
