By putting a buck to work at four per cent, in 18 years it would bo worth $2.02 or at the end of 100 years it would net its owner or his heirs $50.50.

The board order, which goes into effect Jan. 15, covers cattle consignments to auction markets. If a brucel- losis reactor Is found by the agglutination test, the reactor jnust be sent to slaughter and all others in the consignment can either be sold to slaughter or returned to the point of origin under quarantine.

With Mundt and Reifel, the stock growers heard warnings of new by the Administration to gain control over agriculture through marketing orders. The Senator didn't feel cattlemen were likely to vote for a mar. keting order, although he also sale! a referendum might be weighted to impose one. The danger he saw was in hogs and other related commodities to give the government a hold on red meat.

Another source of danger is In imports, the legislator agreed with Mundt opposing the 'granting of power over tariffs to the Ad minstration.

By Republic News Servile PRESHO International Harvester dealerships seem to click with the Hubbard family of Presho.

In fact they've been doing so since the late W. O. Hubbard entered the farm machinery business in Presho 53 years ago, taking out his first contract with the company in 1910. Working around their father's shop since they were old enough to walk, four Hubbard sons hold IH dealerships today. A fifth chose banking.

Latest expansion wai culminated week when Herold Hubbard took possession of the IH Farm Store at Chamberlain on Jan. 2. Owner of Herold Hubbard Implement in Presho since he sold a half Interest In the establishment to his younger brother, George, who has been farming near Kennebec. Previous to that, the oldest son, Donald, in partnership with Herold, owned Hubbard Implement since the death of their father In 1954. In June, 19S6, Don purchased the IH implement shop at Rock Rapids, selling his Interest here to Herold.

Two years later, another brother, Leslie, Pierre, took over the IH dealership in the Capital City. He had previously been shop foreman under the former owner. Herold also has an in that business. Only one of the five not taking a liking to machinery is Ralph, the second oldest. He was first employed at the Farmers Merchants Bank in Presho prior to war service and since has been with Puget Sound National Bank, Tacoma, where he is manager of one of the branch banks in that city.

It all started when W. G. Hubbard and his brother, Jack, came to Presho In the spring of 1909 from Mitchell. They went into the farm machinery business with George Morris and on Feb. 2,1910, became authorized agents for International Harvester.

They operated rom a building on the east side of Main on the site of the present Presho Lockers. In 1912, W. O. Hubbard bought out his partners. He also served as rural carrier on the Star route northeast of Presho about that time and carried mail every other day, sometimes on horseback, sometimes by car.

In 1913 Hubbard and the late Glen Andis went into partnership. They sold IH farm machinery, Chevrolet cars and to supplement their income purchased a livery stable. The men also rented cars to prospective land buyers and sometimes took speculators and their customers oh a tour of the community. The two dissolved their partnership in 1920 and Hubbard purchased the property on the west side of Main St. where Harold hubbard Implement is located today.

Mr. Hubbard also operated a cream buying station. The business prospered as machinery became paramount to farmers who expected to stay In agriculture. Hubbard added a machine repair shop, quit the auto agency and cream service and devoted the rest of his life to sales of farm implements and machine Harold Hubbard, left, has sold a half Interest (o a younger brother, George, this week, as the former took possession of the IH Farm Store at Chamberlain. Four of the five Hubbard brothers are In the farm machinery business now, following'In the steps of their late father, W.

G. Hubbard, who entered the business 53 years ago at Presho. (Republic News Service Photo) their own meager farm equipment, livestock and household goods with them in immigrant cars, so at first machinery sales were few and far between. First task was to break the prairie sod. They used a walking plow drawn by four or six horses.

A good day's work resulted in breaking two acres. Then came the cumbersome steam and kerosene engines which could pull from six to 10 plows and break 10 to 20 acres a day. Popular In the early were such names as the Mogul and Titan tractors. As the need for more powerful machinery arose to farm on a larger scale, the fast moving gasoline driven McCormlck- Deerlng tractor was perfected; Replacing It today is the present gas or Diesel McCormlck Farmall. In addition to tractors, other early equipment sold by Hubbard Included such items as farm wagons and surreys, horse drawn binders and steam engine-diven threshing machines.

A threashing rig required the services of a crew of 10 to 15 men. In the early 30s the combine was invented for harvest ing operations and cut down the manpower to a single person with another to truck the grain man needed to market. In early days implement dealers devoted their to setting up machinery. As farming became more mechanized the need for repairs and machinists became an Important facet in the implement business. Today, Herold Hubbard Imple- ment has four men in the shop- Paul Sweeney, foreman, Glen Hal verson.

Eugene Thompson and Willard Hight, mechanics. William Kerwin is parts man and Mrs. Charles Halgrimson is bookkeeper. They will continue in their Jobs under the new manager who has also purchased Herold's house. George is married to the former Doris Reumann, Kennebec, and they have one son, Andy, in grade school.

Herold's wife is the former Janice McKee, Yankton, and they have three children, Dennis, a sophomore in high school, Connie, a freshman, and Calvin of preschool age. W. G. Hubbard served for 18 years on the Presho school board and was president for a number of years. He also served on the 'cKy council for eight years add was a longtime member of the Presho Volunteer Fire Department, act- Ing as chief in 1915 16.

The speaker also revealed he is studying a proposal to reduce the number of counties in South Dakota for economy and efficiency. Opposition to legislative sessions comes mostly from "selfish groups opposed for specific reasons," Burgess declared. He cited the Homestake Mining Co. as one of these groups "Because they don't like to fight the ore tax every year." Others. Burgess said, are the liquor interests and petroleum organizations that don't want to fight bills annually.

Burgess concluded that if the public knows reasons for the annual session, it will vote In favor of the constitutional amendment in November.
