their main farm revenue is still LOT the
future here.
Yet the South Dakota dairyman is
making money His annual income
compares favorably with that of dairy
men of other states, and his milk pro-
duction is obtained at les slabor than
is possible in more highly developed
dairy states, as he has an abundance
of alfalfa and there is no better for
age than this for the dairy cow. High
records have been made in herds that
were fed alfalfa and nothing else. Our
soil is naturally adapted to the grow
ing of alfalfa.
The climate of South Dakota is
healthful, and in itself an immun1z-
ing influence against tuberculosis.
There is much sunshine, low humidity
and good water. Surface wells are OBJ
tanned most anywhere, and from the
artesian basin comes water of even
temperature the year around. Markets
eager to buy our dairy products are
within easy reach of all parts of the
state and the local demand generally
exceeds the supply.
The alfalfa and sweet clover pas
lures are crowding into the wheat and
range country, and they along with
the natural grasses of the prairie, are
returning profitable revenue through
the medium of the milk pail. Western
South Dakota is turning to the milk
COW to insure steady, Notwithstanding
income, so you see South Dakota is
slowly becoming a dairy state.
I could go on giving statistics of
what is produced in this great state
but anyone that will drive across the
state and take notice of what he sees

did not tell all the story

ManinulatiOn.

With crops of all kinds and live
stock of all kinds at good prices one
hears very little of the old cry of
manipulation" at the hands of the
felonious packing interests, Wall
street, ETC. This is really too bad as
it steals the ammunition of the tub
thumpers and soap box orators.
The fact is, of course, that there
never was manipulation on broad
scale although in times of low prices
it is only human nature to assume so.
Supply and demand, economic fac
tors, control prices and the packing
interests be they ever so big and
were they ever so inclined are not
able to control world markets or
world prices.
1t is true that the packers can and
do buy at the lowest price and use
their immense storage facilities to hold
products awaiting a better price.
Which is exactly what any other bus
mess concern or any other individual
would do And that to our mind is the
sum total of manipulation" our dar-
ling orators to the contrary.
