THE BANKING SITUATION

Some excitement has occurred IL
the state during the past week over
bank failures at Sioux Falls and HUI,
ron. Late newspapers report that ex
element has subsidized and business is
returning to normal conditions. Gov
eminent financial agents were SEN 10
Sioux Falls with instructions to offer
aid In recognizing the banks affect
ed In that city and larger banks of
the east have sent large amounts vi
currnecy to both Sioux Falls and HUI
ron banks.
The banking difficulties of the agri-
cultural west are caused by out stand
ing loans that cannot be quickly turn
ed into cash. All agricultural states
are affected.
Ordinarily these securities are con
sidered good. and would probably
work u in time, bur banks that
loaned too heavily have found Difficult
ty I'm cashing enough of these loans
to keep above the limit of cash re-
serve required by law. This condi-
ton has affected only one small bank
OF this county-the Farmers Bank, ut
st. Lawrence.
Local bankers state that they have
plenty of reserve above the legal IL
init, and anticipate no difficulties here.
So far, the people OF this locality
have expressed entire confidence II
the local banks and bankers, because
OF their well-known conservative bust
ness methods.

THREE CARS SODATOL
SAVE FARMERS MONEY

Brookings, S. d., Jan 31.-A saving
OF fifteen to twenty thousand dollars
It is estimated, has been affected BY
mere than 500 South Dakota farmers
who have already ordered quantities
of the war salvaged explosive, Soda
tol, which is being sold at cost of the
cartridging, packing and shipping w
the Federal government through the
State College extension service. Be
sides the money saved, a decided i'm
provement to the state is being brot
about through the use of the explu-
sive.
A second carload of Sodatol was or
dered by the college on December II
and a third carload on January 10.
Owing to the large number 70 orders
coming in, both these carloads were
much larger than expected.
1t is estimated that on an average
each 100 pounds of this explosive a..
tributed will account for a quarter
section of South Dakota land being
cleared of hte final powders. On this
basis, these first three carloads will
bring about the clearing of some $50
quarter sections.
Reports have been received by the
extension engineer at the college to
the effect that several landowners
over the state celebrated Christmas
day by blasting rocks.
