that is the conclusion drawn by State
cOlleie authorities after studying the
classroom grades Of the men on the
champion football squad of the past
season. A comparison of he grades
of the football letter men with the
other college students (both men and
women favors the football men by a
slight margin. A study of the scho-
lastic standing of the seven mer selec-
ted by the coaches of the state from
the State college squad for all state
honOrS shows that these seven men
did much better work in the class
room than did the other members Of
the squad and also led the other col
lege students.
Perhaps the fine scholastic showing
of the football team should be attri-
buted in part at least, to the fact that
Coach G. A. West insists that the
football trips interfere as little as
possible with the classroom work of

grades were above 80 and three of
them were between 95 and 100.

LYON PLAN

The Brookings Commercial club
at its regular meeting last Friday
evening listened to an exposition of
the Lyon plan of sterilization of
prices of farm products given by its
author, William II. Lyon Of Sioux
Falls, and unanimously and heartily
endorsed the plan. kilograms to that
effect were prepared and sent to the
South Dakota senator's and represen-
tatives at Washington, d. C.
The Lyon plan has been put into
the form of a bill and has been in
troduced in congress by Congressman
ChriStophersOn- 1t has called forth
much comment and debate and is one
of the chief measures before congress
at the present time for the relief of
the American farmer. The plan pro
vides that the government shall guar
antee a price for all farm products
which shall be sufficient to pay the
cost of production and a fair pront to
the farmer.
The club also held an election of
officers, re electing G.. J. FIittie as
president, and John Alton secretary.
The plan for purchasing the fair
grounds for a city park was discussed
and a committee was instructed to
wait upon the city commissioners and
present the plan to them.
The Lyon plan of price sterilization
was not officially endorsed by the
South Dakota Farm Bureau conven-
ton at Huron recently. Mr.. Lyon
was given a respectful hearing, but
upon the recommendation of the
marketing committee, it was voted
that his plan should be referred to
the national agricultural conference
called by President Harding with the
request that the conference take
such steps with it as may best pro-
mote prosperity, giving due consider.

The state apportionment money was
received from Pierre last Friday and
warrants have been sent out from the
office of the county superintendent to
all the school ~treasurers. The amount
this time was nearly as much as last

to the amount, there was $10.18 per
person between the ages of six and
twenty in BroOkings county. Ac
cording to last years census there
were 5088 persons in the county. This
is a great help to the schools just at

ROBERT MA COMB
BREAKS RECORD
BOOKINGS BOY RAISES 115 BUSH
ELS OF CORN ON
ONE ACRE
CORN CLUB SHOW HAS FINE EXHIBITS
Dinner Given To Club Members And
Interesting Program Is
Carried Out

Robert MaComb, a ORR club men,
Der Of Brookings county. broke the
record yield of corn in South Dakota
last year. He raised lis bushels OF
Early Murdoch corn on one acre. The
highest record in the state previous
to 1921 was 113 bushels, which was
raised by Harry Christensen of Brook
ings, in 1920. The state winner has
not been announced for 1921.
The second yield in Bookings
county was 100 bushels and so pounds
of Minnesota 10, raised by Dorian
erase. Other yields were as follows:
Gladys MaComb raised 100 bushels;
Lester Leibbert raised IS bushels and
so pounds; Howard Walston raised
76 bushels; and Reuben Bulls raised
Sc bushels and 80 pounds.
The corn Club Show at Brookings
last Saturday brought out a very fine
exhibit Of corn, which was a credit
to this section of South Dakota The
best exhibit of 10 ears of yellow dent
corn was shown by Robert MaComb;
second by Gladys MaComb; third,
Dorian erase; fourth, Robert Slocum;
fifth, Reuben Bulls; and sixth, How
ard Walston. The best 10 ears Of
white corn vas shown by Howard
Harming; second by Robert Slocum.
During the dinner given the boys at
Tom Connelly's restaurant, Prof.
Beard, Of the local High School, told
how important it is to carefully select
the best corn. He said, 1.-The corn
planted from one ear harvested and
replanted and this followed for six
years would produce enough corn to
plant the whole corn acreage of the
United States. - This shows how
materially the yield of corn per acre
can be increased to the profit of the
individual farmer by selecting high
yielding corn.
Van Ffshback, president of the Ro-
tary Club Of Bookings, impressed on
the boys two important things. First,
prepare yourself to do the best work
in what you are interested, and second,
to help the other fellow. He said, "The
most satisfaction one gets out of life
is the service rendered to someone
else, and this is the great principle
of Rotary Service above self"
AT the afternoon session the
Bookings Corn Club was organized,
with Reuben Bulls president; Edwin
Squirting vice,president; and Howard
Harming, secretary. DR.. A. r. Evans
of State college placed the exhibits of
corn to the satisfaction of all. He
gave in detail his reasons for placing
the corn. George Valentine, State
Corn Club Leader, urged the boys to
increase the membership in the club
this year. Fred Killing gave the boys
a fine inspirational talk, which stirred
every parent to want to give his boys
and girls every opportunity possible
to do things for themselves.

not explain until news was received
from Volga that four hundred pounds
Of dynamite had exploded in a field
on the J. A. Thorson farm, one and
three quarters miles southwest Of
Volga, where 1t had been stored by
the men who are travelling the state
highway between Volga and Arlington.
The dynamite was stored in a tent
and to keep it from freezing a fire
was kept burning to heat the tent.
In some the fire ignited the
caps which set off the 400 pounds of
dynamite, blowing a large hole in the
earth and SCATTERING every window in
the farm home Of MI. Thorson. No
one happened to be nea at the time
so no casualties resulted. A work
nan who laid flat on the ground at
the time of the explosion is suffering
from shell shock, similar to the afflic-
ton of many soldiers who were in
France.
The dynamite was being used to
open up gravel pits to supply material
