FARMERS HELP FARMERS

The idea of some n else helping
the farmers is practically useless
when compared with the idea Of farm
ers helping themselves. Various plans
have been proposed to help the farm
ers. Some want the bankers to help.
Some think the government should
help. Others leave it up to congress
to help the farmer. These ideas are
all good in their way but when 1T
comes right down to real. valuable
assistance, the farmer himself is about
the only one who can help the farmer.
Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash
ington, states his belief that relief
OF the difficulties of the farmer can be
had through farmers cooperation. 1t
Is a common observance that the fate
of individuals depends upon their own
efforts more than anything else com
bined.
Nearly every legislative measure
that has been approved and requested
generally by farmers national organic
atoms during the term of the present
congress-, has been favorably acted
upon, and although some Of them have
been of substantial assistance to agri'
c9ltGrc. they will be of comparatively
little benefit unless the farmer him,
self takes those voluntary steps which
will put him in the way of getting
the benefit of conditions created by
these laws. The farmer deals on the
one hand with labor, which is highly
organized and on the other hand with
big business which is also highly
organized, both in the buying of his
implements and supplies, and in sell
ing OF his crops.
The need Of organization among
farmers is a plain necessity If they
are to cope successfully with economic
conditions. The farm bureau organic
alton is working toward this end and
will undoubtedly be the mean Of do
ing more for the farmers than all the
legislation that could be passed by
congress.

THE FARM BOY

Emery Enterprise.-There is a say
ing that the cities are run by the sons
Of farmers and we believe it is largely
true, We are also of the opinion that
farm life is the greatest training
school a man can attend. To a young
ster who has handled a pillow, MIXED
cows, made hay, threshed wheat,
husked corn and broken ice in order
to get a painful Of water, the average
city job is nothing more than play.
The boy reared on the farm, or in
small towns, bucks up against nature
and his problem is one Of conquer
ing natural forces. The city man
bucks against other human beings,
and the prizes go mostly to those who
are able to organize men to a COM
mon purpose. You a fool people,
but you can't fool nature. Yes, aud
the country boy learns early The
habit of work, and the habit remain,
with him after he has adopted city
life. We remember reading once
these words: ANY city job seems
easy after you have worked ON a
farm"
1t has been said that every honest
man in a city has at some time had
a level, a square or a plumb-bob in
his tool kit. There's something to it,
too, for a man who is in the habit
Of making things square, plumb and
level usually thinks straight. There
ought to be some manual training in
every city boys education. That's
the best way to teach him the need
Of accuracy. And it should also be
a fine thing If every city boy, and
every town boy, too, could spend at
least a year on a farm. We believe
he could easily sacrifice a year in
school for this experience.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1922-05-18

tensive operations in that section,
and in February, 1922, when those
operations had had time to make
themselves felt. In October, corn was
selling at country elevators in Ne
braska and Iowa at about 20 cents
a bushel. In February it had risen
to fifty cents and reports indicate
that farmers were getting the equiva-
lent Of eighty and ninety cents for
corn marketed through live stock.
The man who is in a hurry to sell is
at a great disadvantage. And this
has been the customary plight Of the
agricultural producer. AS soon as
he has a crop he is under pressure
to sell. Either he has to meet a note
given to his last productive
effort, or he needs ready money to
buy supplies and equipment for his
next operation. For n reason or
another, the necessity has been al
most imperative to market his output
as soon as possible after harvest.
At harvest times the national mar
ket is crowded, so to speak, with
farmers anxious to sell. Products
are abundant and prices relatively
low. Six or eight months later, when
the consumer is beginning to think
about supplies for the rest Of the year,
prices are up and the farmer usually
has little to sell. 1t would be better
- 49, he o~,1 rn~Anl h{c
marketing over a longer period, be-
cause in the long run he would prob
ably get more for his crops; it would
be better for the railroads, because
it would mean a more ven use Of
transportation facilities; it would be
better for the consumer, because he
would have more assurance Of get
ting supplies at stable prices through
out the year.

sToRE UP EGGS NOW

The fact that the price curve sweeps
lowest for market eggs in April and
May offers the hint to the housewife
to provide now for the winter supply
of this most wholesome food. The
use Of water glass in preserving eggs
has generally proved satisfactory and
this method has practically displaced
most Of the others, according to G. l.
Stevenson. professor Of poultry hus'
bandry at State college.
II the eggs r fresh, clean, sound
shelled and infertile and are properly
preserved they will keep we'll for a

good years, he has depended largely
on others to take care Of the time
element, he has, on the whole, devel-
oped no adequate machinery for TAX
ing care Of 1t himself when adverse
conditions make it necessary for him
to do so.
During the past two years the agri-
cultural producer has been confront
ed with a new situation-a situation
brought about by the war and the
changed economic conditions result
ing from it. He and his banker have
been forced to assume a considerable
part Of the burden, which in ordinary
times is distributed all along the line,
OF carrying and financing his prod
ucts for a longer period-until the
American jobber, Wholesale, manu-
facturer and retailer, or the foreign
buyer, are ready to take them.
Cotton is our greatest agricultural
export commodity and the market
for it depends largely upon the de
mand from abroad. AS a result Of
developments growing out OF th'
war, European buyers changed the
buying practice. They had been &C
customed to take eighty per cent 0
their annual needs in the first 81
months of the cotton year; after tn
war they began taking only fifty pc
cent IN tha same ak months. On az

PRAISE LOCAL MERCHANTS

Under auspices Of the South Da-
kota Editorial association a silver cup
was offered for the best editorial in
the state among weekly papers and
the award fell to the Timber Lake
Topic.
This was a high honor and it is
significant that the editorial dis
cussed a phase of home town de-
velopment. Here is the editorial that
the prize:
There is a community of interest
between the country merchant and
the buying public that seems to be
too little recognized and appreciated
by the latter.
II you are one of those who have
been given to patroniZing catalog
houses, under the impression that
you thus serve your best interests
1t might be we'll to consider your
home merchant in relation to your
common community.
To begin with the local merchant
is a fellow citizen whose very pres.
ence and occupation denotes conf
dence in the future Of the town and
community, and in the progressive
ness and stability Of those whom he
desires to serve. His future, all his
prospects for success in business, de
pend wholly upon the future OF the
community In which he is located
and the success of its citizens. Above
all men he is a booster for his towr
and in this lies his hope for thai
modest measure of material success
that each individual should covet ant
strive to gain.
He is a taxpayer and cheerfully HI
bears his share of the burden i'm
posed by public improvements ant
tina upbuilding Of his community. IL
helps build your churches school'
and highways. All he makes Is spen

or invested in his home town or its
surrounding territory. Every rellgi-
Gus, charitable or social enterprise
finds him a liberal be~nefactor. In
fact, he is expected to be the most en-
terprising and liberal citizen in his
community and he usually measures
up to that standard.
He is your friend and well wisher.
Next to yourself and your immediate
family he is the one most Interested
in your success and general welfare.
It may be a selfish interest, but it
nevertheless works to your benefit.
Your confidence is a material asset
in his business that he must ever
strive to merit if he is to grow and
prosper in a business way. Your
trade is the very life blood Of his
business and he cannot hazard its
loss by giving you anything but a
square deal. His trade territory is
limited and he knows hat a dissatis-
fled customer is something more than
an incident in the days business. He
cannot afford to let such a n leave
his place of business without making
an honest effort to regain his conf
dence, even though he may suffer an
injustice thereby.
He is the best advertisement the
town and surrounding country has.
When a stranger visits your town he
gets the first and most lasting impress
sion Of the country by the character
OF the stores and business establish
ments. If they are well stocked up
and apparently prosperous he at once
concludes that the town has a rich
prosperous territory to draw from and
this is a safe as well as a logical con
clusion.
Collectively the merchants of your
town carry every article for which
there is a local demand You can
want it, without delay or inconveni-
ence and have the opportunity to ex.
anime before you buy. The more
the buying public looks to the local
hioiSioii'S III Nhat II dh'S IhS iuOlS
complete become the stocks from
which a choice may be made and
thus your town grows and advances
its trade prestige.
The local merchant is the one mid
dleman that can't be eliminated. He
and his business constitute an eco
nomic necessity. You can't build
towns or independent, prosperous
communities without him. Remove
the mercantile enterprises from your
town and what have you left? Practi-
cally the whole town and its popula-
ton vanishes with him.
