POTATO GROWERS PLAN WORK

A strong seed potato certification
program has been lined up by the
South Dakota Growers association, ac-
cording to A. w. Tompkins OF Hayti,
secretary. The work was outlined at
a conference in Watertown OF the as
sociation's board of directors with +.
Nj. Byrne, commissioner of agricul-
ture; Dr.. A. n. Hume and DR.. A. r..
Evans, both Of the State college agro-
nomy department; w. +. Kumlien, di-
rector Of the State college extension
division, and Mr.. II. Bebedict of the
state department Of agriculture.
Mr.. Tompkins outlines the plan Of
procedure as follows: This year the
inspection of potato fields will be
done by the agronomy department Of
the State college and the issuing Of
certification certificates by the South
Dakota Potato Growers association.
Three inspections will be conducted:
First at b~lossoming time; the second
prior to maturity of the vines, and
the last inspection at digging time or
later.
1T is estimated that approximately
100 growers in South Dakota will de-
sire to take advantage Of this service,
judging from the number Of applica-
tons which are now being received at
the secretary's office, due to the fact
that the closing date of receiving APP
plications is May 20. No doubt a
large number will just get in under
the wire. The association is now get
ting u a pamphlet giving the rules
and regulations Of seed Qualification,
together with information relative to
seed treatment. This bulletin can be
obtained either from county agents
or from the association.
Members of the Hamline County
Certified Seed Growers association
have been receiving for their seed
this spring, $3.50 per bushel at the
farm, $1.75 per bushel sacked, f. 0. b
local station and $3.50 per bushel for
hand-selected tubers. Several hun
dred bushels have been sold. More
than ever, growers are becoming EN-
lightened as 10 the increased value OF
certified seed tubers over common
seed and are willing to pay the price
necessary to get a start in a strain OF
strong vitality, disease free variety
of pure and large yielding potatoes

STATE DEFEATS HAMLINE

The relay decided the dual track
and field meet between State college
and Hamline university of St. Paul
last Saturday afternoon n one of the
closest and most exciting meets ver
held on State field. State was vic
torious when their relay finished far
in the lead of the Hamline
amid the resounding cheers of the
crowd who stood on their feet in the
stands, during the entire course of
"a in favor Of state.
Coach Vests men excelled in the
field events, taking first in all ex-
cept the javelin. Stout easily look
feet, 3 inches. Stout also stifled com
petition in the broad jump with a
leap OF Il feet, 3 inches. Martin of
state, took second in this event. COT
fey won the shot put for State and
Salisbury the discus. Carl Hansen
tied with Peacock of Hamline for first
in the high jump at five feet, six
inches. State slammed the high hur-
die event, Thompson and Wealty cas-
lily leading the field. In the low
hurdles, Thompson took first, but
Welty tripped on the second hurdle
and fell, dislocating his shoulder and
severely straining the ligaments, which
gave second place to Hamline in this
event.
In spite Of the badly crippled condi-
ton Of Coach Vests team, they made
a very good showing. Under other
circumstances they would have taken
the meet with a large margin to spare.
Ryger, States speedy dash man, is out
of the game with a bad case of blood
poisoning and did not compete Sat
urday. Stout and Salisbury are both
crippled from injuries received at the
Drake relays. Motley, States premier
quarter-miler was under the weather
Saturday and not able to make his
usual showing.
Probably the fastest and closest
two-mile race eve run on the local
track was staged between Brandies,
Hamline's distance marvel and Cram
of State, who raced neck and neck for
two miles, Brandies winning by a
final burst Of speed. The time was
10 minutes, % 35 seconds. Brandies
also won the mile, Ambrose of State,
coming in second.
Cady of Hamline, won both Of the
daShes, Monte Martin taking second
in each event. Hanscomb of Hamline,
nosed out first in the quarter mile in
one of the hardest races Of the day.
Motley Of State, pressed him hard and
finished but a few inches behind.
Coach West is nov putting his men
through a vigorous course Of train
ing for the North Central Intercol-
legiate conference meet which will be
held here next Saturday, May 27,
when the principal colleges in this
section of the United States will clash
for the honor of winning the first
track meet Of the conference which
was just organized last winter. This
is the biggest athletic event that has
ever been on States calendar in the
history of the school and will draw
record breaking crowds.

Between the farmer and the man
who eats the farmers wheat and
potatoes, or smokes his tobacco, or
makes his cotton into shirts, there
stands an intangible but formidable
barrier-time. Over ninety per cent
of the wheat in the United States is
harvested in June, July and August;
but it may take a year for it to get
into the bakers ovens. Over ninety
per cent of the tobacco is harvested
in August, September and October,
but the smokers puff away as hard in
January as they do in October. And
so it is with most of our staple agri-
cultural products - between produc-
ton and consumption there is an
interval that may stretch out to a
whole year or wen longer.
Here is a fundamental factor in
the marketing of the farmers output
that perhaps has received too little
attention. The American producer
has grown accustomed to disposing
of his crop shortly after the harvest,
leaving some one else the task OF
providing storage facilities and the
necessary financing for carrying it
until needed by the consumer. Such
a system may work smoothly SO long
as those who assume the burden OF
taking care Of the time element in
the marketing process are fairly sure
of good returns. But it may break
down when the farmer needs it most
when, because Of uncertain markets
and ~unfavorable business conditions
generally, his bank calls in the note
on which he has secured funds foI
his producing operations. The farmer
then is left to hold the bag. He may
have cotton, corn, cattle or other
products sufficient under ordinary
conditions to meet his obligations
but he needs time to market them in
an orderly way. And because. in the

LIGHT RENEWALS OF

Of renewing and contracting for new

the exception of the few bargain hunt

Renewal leases have been and are being

This scene of sporadic development
underwent change some fifteen years
ago when the New York Central built
its magnificent new terminal station and
acquired its tremendous real estate hold
ings, extending uninterruptedly up Park
avenue on both sides. from Forty-secoud
street to Fiftieth street, continuing on
the west side from Fiftieth to Fifty
second street, absorbing the northwest
corner OF Fifty-fourth street and also
the block front from Fifty-fifth to Fifty

with consummate wisdom aud fore
sight the late William Newman. at that
time chairman OF the board of the New
York Central and In charge of its real
estate, conceived of the possibility OF
developing these holdings In large and
masterful way. He sensed the desir-
ability OF Park avenue as a great resi-
dantial apartment center. he pictured the
railroad terminal surrounded by gigan-
tic hotels and office buildings and he
believed that some OF the large plots
covering two city blocks from Madison
to Park avenue might some day provide
suitable location for large depart
ment store, a Metropolitan Opera House
or Madison Square Garden. The for
mer part OF this vision has been realized

FIRE INSURANCE
LOANS NECESSARY
Real Estate Would Benefit
Enormously by Such Aid,
Says Well Known Realtor.
ny WHITLEY p. wEsTERvELT
of VIM. A. White G Sons.


During my experience of about twenty
years OIL active association with the New
York city realty market it has always
been perfectly clear to me that no better
security could be obtained for an invest
ment of capital than first mortgages on
real estate. The life insurance COM
panies, l believe. deserve especial men,
ton for the past they have taken in
making large loans on real property.
They deserve great credit for such in
vestments.
1t Is perhaps hardly becoming for an
outsider to tell fire insurance companies
how their business should be conducted,
but l think they could safely follow the
example of most savings banks. and to
their great profit. by investing some Of
their assets in sound first mortgages.
II law similar to the savings bank law
were enacted regarding the investment
of their moneys it would be an excellent
thiEg for real estate. Bonds may have
been very attractive to them during the
past year. but they may deteriorate in
value, while good mortgages keep the
same safe security at all times.
The statements Of some of the impor-
tant life insurance companies show that
their mortgage investments have brought
them the largest returns Under exist
ing conditions. the fire insurance COM
panies obtain business by the fire clause
in every mortgage placed on real estate,
which compels fire insurance to be car
ried for the benefit of the mortgages.
Such companies have millions of dollars
in assets and no mortgage commitments.
AS to the future of the mortgage mar
ket, it Is generally believed that money
will be much easier after the first of the
year. Personally. however, lean to the
opinion that it will be a somewhat longer
time before the conditions we enjoyed
some two years ago return.
The supply of mortgage money in New
York city at the present time exceeds the
demand, while less than fifteen months
ago builders and owners of property
found difficulty in securing even mod
crate loans without some form of bonus
being paid.

a contemplation of these great struc-
tural developments which iave taken
place during the past fifteen years liter
ally staggers the imagination and yet 1t
has resulted in a natural way, as the
outcome of the normal growth clearly
outlined by the topography OF Manhat-
tan Island. The lower section was. as a
matter of course, reserved for the ship
ping and financial interests the inter-
mediary section for the commission
house and wholesaler. the section above
for the retail, department stores and
exclusive merchants and finally above
that the residential section. east and
west of Central Park a great retail
and residential avenue was an ele-
mentary need and Fifth avenue, because
Of its central location and width. met the
requirements. With the demarcation OF
the retail section clearly outlined by
Thirty Fourth street as It's southerly. the
two great terminal stations of the Penn
sylvania at Seventh avenue and Thirty
third street and the New York Central at
Vanderbilt avenue and Fcrty-second
street cemented for an indefinite period
the boundaries of this section as well as
the character of its development
Natural causes also designated Park
avenue as the great apartment house
thoroughfare, owing TO its width. which
provides air and light. and together with
its proximity 10 Fifth avenue. with its
retail and residential character, IL COM
bines a cost for plottage that makes
possible successful apartment house OPP
erations.
There remain In this section two thor
oughfares still in their infancy which
afford exceptional opportunity TO the
farsighted investor; namely. Madison
avenue above Forty-second street 10
Fifty-ninth street and Fifty-seventh
street east and west Of Fifth avenue.
All these developments have resulted
through the exercise OF courage and
vision on the part of men pursuing those
lines for development which nature In
the topography of the island indicated
conclusively. The magnitude of IL me-
cessitated the large banking institutions
entering the zone upon a scale second
only TO Wall street In the sumptuousness
and size of the facilities offered. Their
presence IN this manner has given added
dignity and solidarity TO the district. the
advantages OF which cannot be exag-
gerated.
Such Is the dramatic picture pre-
scnted by a survey OF what Is known as

DRY GOODS DISTRICT

BY C. II. $. JAFFRAY,

President Of Daniel BirdsdH Co., Inc
A review of the last year in the
downtown wholesale dry goods district
reveals the interesting fact that more
than score of buildings have been sold
Tor occupancy, among the latest and
most prominent being 137-141 Duane
street. through to 62-66 Thomas street,
to the United States Rubber Company
27-33 White street, southwest corner of
Church street, to Jacob S. Bernheimer &
Co. and 96 Franklin street, northwest
corner Of Church street, to the Linen
Thread Company. This, coupled with
the fact that nearly as many more prop
critics have been sold to operators and
investors (and in some instances having
been resold at a protit) denotes a
growing confidence in the old district.
The renting situation has never been
more favorable from an owners stand
point. In spite of poor business condi-
tions in the textile trade for the year
1921 rentals have consistently advanced
and there Is at present a great scarcity
of improved available space in this sec
ton.

stituted few years ago and which was
the cause of much worry among owners

concerns who realized the advantage OF
downtown representation and who
have leased quarters in this district are
Clarence Whitman & Son, Friedman
Bros. krieger, Remy, Schmidt &
Pleissner and others Many other up
town concerns are desirous OF securing
quarters down town. but they are held
back by the lack of improved space.
The easy accessibility to this district
from all quarters occasioned by close
proximity to all transit lines. together
with the Seventh avenue extension and
proposed vehicular tubes to Jersey under
the North River affords superior ship
ping facilities over all other sections in
the city.
| am confident that there are Won
derful opportunities for those with a
clear vision for the future to secure a
large return on investments should they
purchase and modernize some of the
older buildings or replace same with
new up to date structures.
