NO RUST DAMAGE

A thorough survey of the eastern
counties Of South Dakota shows the
small grain crops to be in a condition
from a standpoint of rust infection,
which has not been equalled for years,
according to Lynn D. Hutton, state
leader Of the barberry eradication
work, stationed at State college.
This condition" he says. lis un-
doubtedly true for several reasons. AS
the barberry eradication campaign has
progressed eastern South Dakota has
become more and more completely
cleared of the common barberry,' the
only bush which can spread black
stem rust to the small grains. OF the
two factors which govern the rust on
dition every year, this is the most i'm
portant. When these bushes are en-
tirely eliminated the danger Of severe
rust epidemics in South Dakota will be
eliminated.
1.-The other factor is the weather on
dition. This spring has been very
favorable to the growth Of small grains
but the weather has not been good for
the multiplication of rust spores. Con-
sequently, with harvest only two or
three weeks off, we have very little
rust and a very good small grain crop.
If the present COO weather continues
until harvest time small grain will fill
we'll and rust will fail to terminate
enough to do any great damage in this
state.
. Even though South Dakota has a
good crop this year she cannot afford
to believe that the rust situation has
been solved, because there are still
many barberries in the state which
under favorable weather conditions
will scatter enough spores to ruin all
the small grain in the state in a very
short season. This years small grain
crop may be a partial proof that the
barberry eradication campaign is sue
cessful but we cannot give any deci-
sion until we know that absolutely
every barberry has been destroyed"

LEGION PARADE AT HURON

Those attending the last national
convention Of the American Legion
at Kansas City in 1921, state that the
parade Of ex-service men held as part
of the program was one of the most
picturesque events ever witnessed.
This year at the convention OF the
South Dakota department Of the
American Legion to be held in Huron
on August 81 a similar parade will be
staged.
Although the number Of marchers
will be slightly smaller than at Kan.
sas City, the parade will be a strik'
ing affair. According to present re.
ports, from three to five Thousand
men will attend the Huron conven.
ton and with them in line approx.
mately a regiment will pass in review
Among the high dignitaries who will
salute the soldiers and sailors will be
Governor McMaster, National Com
mander MacNider OF the American
Legion and Adjutant General Halle OF
South Dakota.
A call has gone out from conven
ton headquarters at Huron that all at
tending ~ex-service men whether they
were soldiers, sailors or marines
should bring their uniforms and al
their decorations. While still in the
service many Of the boys thought thai
the o. DIS were to be consigned te
the ash heap and oblivion after they
got their discharge, but on an occasion

throughout the stats are planning ia

DAIRY PRODUCTION TRIPLED

Everybody is talking dairy cows
these days, but dairying is not a
panacea for all the ills Of farming.
The writer recently spent some time
in Wisconsin, the leading dairy state
of the country and found her dairy
men beginning to feel the pinch of the
reaction we had last year. For the
mar who likes a dairy COW, and is
going into the business to stay in it
for 10 years or more, there is no bet
ter business than dairying. 1t fur
nishes a steady income, and a moder.
ate return for the labor put in. How
ever, there are indications that dairy
ing is likely to see a period Of de-
pressed prices during the next few
years from the fact that many are
looking upon it as the salvation Of
their difficulties and are turning from
other types Of farms to the dairy
cows.
Figures issued by A. P. Ryger, state
dairy expert, show a steady rise
in butter production in South Dakota,
for the past II years from 22,O57,711
pounds in 1910 to 37,302,474 pounds
in 1921. This is a steady and sane in
crease OF something over a million
pounds a year on the average, but
most Of the other states are doing 1t
too. This should cause the man who
c~ontemplates buying high priced dairy
cows to pause and think. He is likely
to pay for them with rather low
priced butter. On the other hand, the
man who buys a dairy bull is safe
from mourning excessive indebtedness
in starting the business.
After all, the old rule that the
best time to start in a business Is
when>ft is in a depression still holds
good. The well balanced farm that
has several sources Of income. and
avoids the thing that happens to he
having . temporary boom, makes the
most money.

SAILING UP TO FRISCO

AS l said last week l took a much
needed rest Sunday morning and after
| had breakfasted, which was nearly
at the noon hour, an auto was placed
at my disposal and I had a Sunday
view of Venice, called the capital of
Joyland, Ocean Park and Santa
Monica. They told me 1 ought to see

ton, the scene by night must be
something wonderful for the average
citizen of such states as South Da-
kota and the middle west. Our min

want to clean up Bookings, but IL
they are looking for a real job, we
would suggest the place for them is
in California. Billy Sunday should
move farther west, where we think
some of his modest sayings would fit
in to better advantage.
However, without particularizing,
We were very much interested in what
we were able to see by daylight, as
it gave us an insight in what evident
ly attracts so many people to the
sunny climate" Of that much adver-
tized state. We are not surprised
that a good many from Bookings
county fall for it. The Climate" is
something wonderful. But the most
OF it reminds us of that little ditty
that we have heard ever since we
we're a boy, Hang your clothes on

COUNTY BANKERS ORGANIZE

The bankers If Brookings held a
meeting in this city, last Friday and
organized the Brookings County Bank
ers' association. The need Of an or
ganization of this kind to foster bet
ter banking methods and give the
bankers an opportunity to work to-
gether in solving the particular finan-
cial problems of Brookings county and
do their share in bringing an early
return to financial stability and pros
perity, has long been felt.
Thirteen OF the 16 banks in the
county were represented at the meet
ing and the following officers were
elected: l.. G. Dokken Of Bruce, presi-
dent; Robert Henry of Volga, vice
president; A. jobs Bjorge of Brook
ings, secretary and treasurer. Con-
stitution and bylaws were adopted at
the meeting and a decision made to
meet again in three weeks.
At the banquet which was served
early in the evening at the Leon hotel
80 bankers were present and enjoyed
the excellent meal prepared by the
hotel management. Solos sung by
Art w. Johnson and Miss Marion Car
Isle were well received. Following
the banquet the business meeting was
held at the Commercial club rooms.
The association Is founded on thor.
democratic principles, each
bank in the association, no matter
how large or small holds the same
rank and is entitled to one vote.
The banks of South Dakota have
made a record during the past finan-
cial stringency that the banks of no
other state has equalled. They have
acted as IN anchor to windward all
during the period besides carrying
farmers and the buiness men over a
long period Of deflation. The banks
OF Brookings county are among the
soundest in the state and are a pride
to this community.

STATE WINS AT CAMP

Fourteen students of South Dakota
State college are enrolled at the re-
serve officers training camp at Fort
Smelling, Minnesota. President Willis
K. Johnson returned Tuesday morning
from a conference Of officers and
presidents of institutions and brings
back a very pleasing report Of the
Of the representatives Of his
college.
1t looks at the present time as
though Emmett B. Martin of Brook
ings will win the place Of highest in
dividual rank. He has already won
the coveted gold medal for the high
est score on the rifle range, and Is
placing high in all other events and
competitions. Clifton S. Denies tied
in the score for third place and will
win a silver medal.
Out Of the Is men who won the
honor of expert riflemen State college
placed four men, Martin, Denies,
Kingsbury and Coyne. Twelve of the
II State college men qualified as
marksman or better. This is the
highest score OF any college in the
camp, and some institutions have
large delegations, the University Of
Missouri having 40 men.
At the present time State college
leads by a very wide margin all ad-
vanced course men in points in in
structional work.
State college men are frequently
picked as cadet officers Of the camp.
Berdick Haugen Of Brookings acted
as cadet major at the review staged
before the presidents Of colleges main
tanning r. O. r. c. camps in the
Seventh corps area. He carried off his
honors in a very creditable way. Other
advanced course men from State col
lege have been given unusual recogni-
ton also.

The state Of trade over the country
as reported by Bradstreet's for last
week was q%uieter. Seasonal condi-
tions induce increased degree Of
quiet in general distribution. Sales
mems vacations reduce order lists. In
dustry as active as straitened fuel
supplies permit, but increased note Of
hesitation, due to railway strike af-
fecting car and coal supplies. Collec-
tons better and crop reports best Of
year. Nearly every crop promises
gains over last year. Bradstreet's
building returns show new high level
for June. July 1 price index highest
since February, 1921. Weekly food
index slightly lower. Railways buy
ing supplies freely. New high levels
for coal despite efforts to end strike.
Pig iron easier. Copper strong. Little
unemployment. Clearings increase.
Failures still numerous.

STRIKERS HERE ENJoiNED

An injunction issued Monday by
Judge j. ID. Elliott Of the federal dis
trict court and served on striking
railway shopmen was pronounced by
United States Attorney S. w. Clark
as the most sweeping ever issued in
South Dakota" The injunction not
only forbids the strikers from inter
fering in any way with workers or
with the conduct Of the company's
business, but also e~njoins them to re-
main away from the residences Of the
workers. The injunction is effective
in Bookings Pierre and Huron, and
is expected to obviate any trouble
from strikers.
Phil S. Pickett, chief of detectives
Of Sioux Falls, and John Berry, former
sheriff Of Dawson county, as special
deputy United States marshals served
the injunction papers on union Off
Gals here Tuesday. No trouble, how
ever, is anticipated in Brookings.
A fracas is reported to have taken
place at Tracy, hmm, last night be-
tween the strikers and the men en-
ployed to take their places in the
shops. Some of them were pretty well
battered up. Train service out Of
Tracy was also interrupted. The pas
senger from the east this morning was
an hour late.
There is no hope in sight yet for
any immediate settlement of the strike
Of the railroad shopmen and there is
a strong probability that the mainten-
ance of way men will join the strik-
ing shopmen. To avert this, the labor
board has promised to grant new
wage hearings to the section lei
An important development was
made public yesterday when resolu-
tions adopted by the Huron lodge Of
the Brotherhood Of locomotive fire
men and enginemen were read to the
strikers expressing their desire to
join the shopmen in the strike. The
Huron lodge is looked upon as one Of
the leaders in national railroad legis-
lation.

Editors Note-The fact that a "a

railroad is in itself enough to assure
the average man he has something
worth while to say to the nation; the
trouble has been to get him to say it.
President F. ID. Underwood of the Erie
is known where ever trains are oper-
ated in the United States and his
judgment is respected by railroad Of
ficials as being mature, born of much
thought and an embracing knowledge
of the problems that are confronting
American roads today.
1t is difficult to write on the rail-
road situation without being one Of
two things, or both-elementary and
redundant.
We may start with the text that all
transportation agencies must recognize
the supreme right of the public to
adequate, constant transportation.
The life-blood of railroads is remun-
erative rate. The making of rates is
vested in body created by congress.
In addition to it's rate-making powers,
it is, under the law, given jurisdiction
over safety appliances Of every char
acter, boiler inspection, accidents to
persons and property, etc. It's duties,
when first constituted, were confined
to supervision Of rates. Later on at
various times added duties were given
to it until a point has been reached
where it is physically impossible for
the principles to perform their allotted
tasks.

GRAND ~coMMANDERY HERE

Brookings Commandery, Knights
Templar, was honored on Monday by
a visit from the Grand Commander,
James E. Mather of Watertown and
the Inspector General, Walter Slower,
also Of Watertown. Work was ex-
emplified in the Red Cross, Knights
of Malta and Order Of the Temple. A
fine supper was served at the Leon
hotel after which work was resumed
at the temple. An hour was spent in
sword drill. The grand commander
delivered a fine address and the in
spector general gave special instruc-
ton in drill and tactics. There was
a good attendance of Sir Knights from
White, Bruce and surrounding towns.
Tentative arrangements were made
for the entertainment of the Grand
Commandery Of South Dakota in
Brookings on August s, 9 and 10. DR..
James w. Wilson was appointed gen.
eral chairman of all arrangements and
ex-officio chairman Of all committees.
Room reservations for the visitors
while they are guests Of Brookings
will be taken care Of by DR.. A. T.
Evans. Anywhere from $50 to 300
visitors and possibly more will be
here to attend the meetings so the
people of Brookings are asked to open
their homes to these guests. The
visitors all expect to pay a reasonable
price for the use of the rooms.
The Commandery was entertained
at Vermillion last summer and the
hospitality of that city still remains a
bright memory to all of those who at
tended. Brookings will have an op-
portunity to eclipse hat this sum-
mer. Grand Commander Mather
stated that the days will be pretty
we'll filled with work so hat there
will not be as much opportunity for
entertainment as there has been in
previous years. Special attention
will be given to drill work. The gen.
eral public is invited to witness all
outside entertainments such as the
dress parade which will take place on
the college campus. The meetings Of
the Grand Commandery will be held
in the college armory.
