A OF TRADE

The state Of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's last week
was improved. Trade, industry and
crops progress f~avorably. Weather
conditions not entirely favorable; too
dry west and too wet in parts of east.
Best reports from west, but advices
as a whole best, considering the
season, in two years. Mail-order trade
better. June more active than May in
most lines. Wheat harvest in full
swing, with temperatures high.
Other grains favorably situated. Cot
ton gains a little. Big expansion in
car loadings despite coal strike. Price
movement generally upward. Raw
wool easier. Weekly food index higher.
Record QUITO output in May. Bank
clearings expand. Federal reserve re-
discount rates reduced at New York
and Boston. Money markets as whole
easier. Exchange fluctuates sharply.
Short covering advances stocks. Lib
erty bonds at new high. Weeks coal
output probably largest since March.
Automobile manufacturers paying pre-
miums for steel sheets. More car buy
ing. Pig iron stronger, owing to fuel
conditions.

WAR RE-OPENED ON BARBERRY

Active warfare against the common
barberry brush spreader of black stem
rust, will be opened July l by the de-
partment of agriculture. Working un.
der a federal appropriation of $35O,O0O
and directed by Lynn ID. Hutton Of
BroOkings, state leader of %barberry
eradication, 13 teams of experts, the
shock troops Of the campaign against
the grain farmers worst enemy, will
begin on a larger scale than ever be-
fore, their farm-to-farm survey Of the
state.
Aroused to the necessity Of dras-
tic action, active cooperation in the
work OF the department Of Agriculture
is being extended by the American
farm bureau federation, the state de-
partment of agriculture, the State agri-
cultural college and by railroads,
banks, milling and elevator compan-
les, the farm implement industry and
business generally.
Black stem rust, which in the
northern part Of the United States
is caused only by the common bar
berry bush destroyed in South Da-
kota alone in the four years, 1916
to 1920 inclusive 15.113,76 bushels
of wheat, 9,346,000 bushels Of oats,
$1,S75,000 bushels Of barley and 1885,.
900 bushels Of rye, according to the
plant disease survey Of the bureau of
plant industry.
Detailed loss figures for 1921 are
not yet available. but a preliminary
estimate Of the plant disease survey
places the loss in wheat alone In the
northern states at $500, 900 bushels.
This is somewhat below the average

CREAMERY SWINDLERS FOILED

A quick piece of work by the Kings
bury county farm bureau saved a con
siderable amount of money for farm
ers in the vicinity of Oldham. Word
was sent to d. c. Jones, county agent,
that two men were working around
Oldham selling shares in a creamery.
Mr.. Jones called in H. M. Jones, ex-
lege, and together they started in
vestigations. 1t was discovered that
two representatives of the Hastings
Industrial company of Chicago were
selling 500 shares in a creamery,
promising to build an equipped cream
cry in Oldham after 100 shares were
sold. Nothing apparently was prom
ised as TO the quality of equipment or
building.
Further investigation showed that
if all the cream produced locally were
kept in Oldham, there would be
enough to run a creamery; but facing
the fact thai there are three cream
stations there to compete with a
creamery, the amount of cream neces-
sary TO operate a plant would be cut in
two.
At a meeting called in the evening,
attended by interested farmers and
businessmen, the two promoters gave
a vague explanation, and admitted
that they had made NJ investigation
to ascertain the amount Of cream pro-
dnnad locally Thoy hod dnnn nnthinn
except to try to sell a creamery. After
the farm bureau representatives had
explained the exact situation, it was
unanimously agreed that the farmers
were not ready to buy a creamery
just now. The two Chicago organic
ers became angry, tore up the con-
tracts already signed and left town.

PLANS UNDER WAY
FOR BOYS CAMP
ORGANIZATIONS COOPERATING
IN BUILDING PERMA-
NENT CAMP
BOY WILL HAVE CHANCE TO CO
When Complete Will Be One Of the
Finest Boy Camps in
South Dakota

If the plans of the Bookings Com.
munity Boys camp committee, includ.
ing representatives from the eight
leading business and civic organiza-
tons of the city, are fulfilled, the boys
of BroOkings will have n Of the best
boy camps in the state, located at
some lake in Brookings county. 1t
is planned to build a permanent camp
Of substantial buildings which will pro-
vide every convenience necessary for
camp life. The cost Of the camp which
will be around 81, 200 is being raised
among the citizens Of B%roOkings, the
full amount being nearly subscribed
at present. The camp will also be
used by the Y. w. G. A. for their sum-
mer girls camps.
The camp will be for boys between
the ages of 8 and 16 and every boy in
the community between those ages
who wants to go to the camp can 60.
1t is planned to hold two camps of 10
days each, accommodating about so
boys at each camp. Competent super
visors will be employed who will over
see the play and provide instruction.
1t is intended that the camps shall
provide more than recreation for the
boys, for the moral training and char
acter building features Of the camp
are the most important considerations.
The committee has been busy the
last week visiting various sites at diff
ferent lakes in the county to find the
most suitable for the camp. On Mon
day they visited Lake lakewood and
Lake Poinsett. They found some good
sites at Lake lakewood but satisfac-
tory arrangements could not be made
with the owners of the land. On Tues
day they visited Lake Hendricks and
found a very desirable camp site on
the south side of the lake which could
be leased at a reasonable sum.
No definite action has been taken
yet in the matter Of the location of the
camp, but IL is 20 be settled within
the next few days. The following or
CARNATIONS are cooperating in estab-
fishing the boys camp: Rotary club,
Kiwanis club, the Commercial club,
American Legion, the churches, the
Y. M. G. A. and the Y. w. c. A.

INLAND N[<i JOB
GREAT LAKES ROUTE TO OCEAN
AWAITS CONGRESSIONAL
o. x. AND FUNDS
WILL SOLVE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM
One Dam and Two Short Canals
Are All That Is Needed
To Complete Link
BY Charles p. Craig

Editors Note-The following is by
Charles p. Craig, vice president and
executive director for the Great Lakes
an organization pledged to making Of
a waterway from the Great Lakes
ports to the Atlantic ocean. Mr..
Craig knows his subject from every
angle and while an enthusiast over
the possibilities he keeps carefully to
moderation in his printed word. The
benefits from such a waterway are
vast, the opposition not great and
there is every reason to believe work
on the project will soon be under
way.
The west seeks the way to the
sea. 1t is the age-long desire of land
locked people."-Hon. w. b. Nc
kinley.
This movement to give the middle
west a direct outlet to the sea by
way of the Great Lakes and the ST.
Lawrence, has been under way for
more than a generation. Indeed there
has been no time since the fur trad
ers first began going up through the
lakes and the rivers to the northwest
but that some project was mOoted
for broadening and smoothing the
channels by which their traffic moved.
The foolish little canal that would
barely float a Canadian flat boat with
its less than two feet of water, Gin
tons ditch, connecting the port of
New York with the lakes 100 years
ago; the Canadian channels thrice
%deepened, and the progressive deepen
ing Of the passages between the upper
lakes, have all been steps toward the
long sought purpose of a way from the
west to the sea, large enough for
ships.
Today boats come up from the
ocean a thousand miles as far as Mon
treal, which has become in tonnage
the second port IN the North Atlantic
seaport. During this last season Mon
treal handled twice as much grain as
ever before in it's history and approx
mately as mucn as all over American
ports. Even with the handicap Of the
present obsolete canals between Lake
Erie and the head of ocean navigation,
the St. Lawrence route is the most
economical from the middle west and
northwest to the ocean.
From the head of the lakes to the
foot of Lake Erie vessels go a thou
sand miles, the cheapest water car
riage in the world. When Canada has
finished building the Welland canal,
connecting Lake Erie with Lake On
tario, they will add $50 miles between
the western lake ports and the deep
sea channel.
To pass the rapids in this 100 miles
it needs only one dam to make the
upper reaches of the river into a level
pond and two short canals, 33 miles
of canal in all, to connect the natural
pools of Lake st. Francis and Lake st.
Louis above Montreal. The cost has
been estimated by the engineers for

the removal of former service men suf-

night by Brigadier General C. Z. Saw
yer, chief co-ordinator of the Federal
disqualification Board, in a statement
issued through the American Legion.
DR.. Sawyer said the President had
Expressed his desire that any differ
ence of opinion which might interfere
with the best possible care Of disabled
ex-service men should be removed"
The views Of the American Legion
in regard to the care Of neuro-psychia-

who recently has been criticized by Mr..
Sprague for "obstructing' the hos
pitalization program.
Declaring that as result of his
conference with the American Legion
delegation ar agreement had been
reached for close cooperation between
the Legion and the Federal board of
disqualification, DR.. Sawyer said that
this arrangement clears up misun-
derstanding relative to the care of
former service men and promises
united activity in seeking the best Of
service which may be given
After the conference at the White
House Mr.. sprague stated that the
President, with whom proper hos
pitalization and care of the mental
cases and the provision of a sufficient
number of beds' was discussed. and
manifested the most intelligent and
keen interest in the situation and is
going to give his personal assistance
to a program which the director OF
the Veterans Bureau will work out
after obtaining the best advice"
When Congress reassembles Il
probably will be known" Mr.. Sprague
said, "just what additional facilities
are needed. The President has given
assurance of his support Of the re.
quired program"
1t is understood that Mr.. Spracue
and his colleagues told the Presiden,
that an additinal s10,o00,000 should be
expended in providing more ADEQUATE
hospital facilities for the treatment
OF mental and nervous diseases.
