Hogen said, “when the store opened we had a supply of goods that was in short supply from World War II days, such as car tires, bicycles, wash tubs, jack knives, alarm clocks, milk pails, etc. People waited in line for the store to open the first day to buy these scarce items. Two that i re- member that were nearly first in line were Frank Bauman and Maude Martin. They both wanted tires. We took in $1400.00 that first day, which was a princely amount for those days. We soon found that was only because of the supply of those items being so scarce because our average sales in the days to fol- low was about $75.00.” The store started out originally as strictly a shelf hardware store, but as time went on, it expanded to major appliances and eventually hogen went into the plumbing, heating and electrical contracting business. In 1952-53 Hogens tore down the small building south of the man structure and built a new metal quonset building. Keith Brakke did the cement work, Hogen recalls. a firm from Rapid City put up the shell and Lowell Swisher, Sam Hogen and Billy Renning finished the building. In the summer of 1963 Hogen’s bought the building they now oc- cupy from Bird Patterson and moved the hardware store into it. It was Bill Goins, Hogen recalls, who gave him the idea of starting a Marshall-Wells Store here. Paul Osburn had one in Philip and Bill kept telling Hogen what a good store I was and urged him to start one in Kadoka. Marvis said that Allen Berry and himself went deer hunting in the Black Hills and by chance they happened to walk by the Marshall-Wells Store there. They went in and a salesman from the Marshall-Wells Company was there so Hogen and the salesman from the Marshall-Wells Company was there so Hogen and the sales- man started negotiations on open- ing a store here. The store opened in April, 1946 and Hogen recalled that all four of the Hogen children Phil, Randi, Baxter, and Cash all worked in the store during their grade, high school and college days. When the original store was opened in 1946, Hogen said lumber for fixtures was almost impossible to come by. They searched all over the country and ended up having to as far as Nebraska to get the proper lumber for the fixtures. Orrin Olson built them and Clarence Brugman painted them. Hogen recalls that one of the best selling periods in their 35-year business history was the early times when they replaced coal burning stoves and furnaces with oil burning units. He added that, “if someone would have told me at that time that we’d someday be re- placing oil burning units with coal burning units, I’d never have be- lieved them, but in 1981, that’s just what we are doing.” “During one period we were in the building and contracting busi- ness as a joint venture with Keith Brakke. Some of the buildings that we built were: the northwest wing on the Kadoka School; Cedar Pass Lodge’s main building, the Kadoka City Liquor Store; the Fire Hall and the first addition to the Jack- son County Courthouse.” Hogen said that all of their goods originally came in by the Mil- waukee Railroad and said there was overnight service from Mitchell and Rapid City and that there was good service from Sioux City, Sioux Falls, Minneapolis and Duluth. The store also bought full railroad cars of heavy, bulky items. When the good service of the rail- road ceased, the store shipped by Buckingham and Barber Truck lines. Today the bulk of the store’s goods comes in on a Hardware Hank truck and by Barber Trans- portation. Another boom period in the Hogen business came when the REA came through and the farms of the area became electrified. Hogen’s employees were kept busy wiring farmsteads and, of course, there was a good demand also for new electrical supplies and appli- ances. Hogen’s employees were kept busy wiring farmsteads and, of course, there was a good demand also for new electrical supplies and appliances. Hogen stated that, “it has been a real pleasure to have been in the business that helped modernize the homes and businesses which made living conditions so much better. When we opened our store, there was only one air conditioner in the Town of Kadoka. I think it would be safe to say that the homes and businesses without air conditioning are now in the minority.” He went on to add, that, “when we opened our doors, only three businesses o Main Street had indoor plumbing. Now they all have it. It is hard to believe, but an adding machine was considered a luxury back in 1946. they were expensive and were hard to come by. We operated several years without one, doing all of our figuring by hand. Now, not even the smallest business would consider operating without a calcu- lator, but then of course, now you can purchase a calculator for under $10.00.” He said, “it is hard to realize when we look at the kind of things that we sell today, that some of the items that we used to carry and sell on a regular basis were copper wash boilers, wringer washing ma- chines with gas engines, Coleman gasoline lamps, nose baskets and fly nets to keep flies off horses, wooden handles for flat irons and milk filter discs.” “Back when we were first in business and there were lots of traveling salesmen calling on small towns, we had regular fieldmen from Marshall-Wells that we looked forward to seeing and learn- ing lots from their experiences and probably being gullible listeners to some of their tales--at any rate some of these men and their fami- lies have come to mean a lot to us through the years--just last Sep- tember we visited Carl Nylund in Nisswa, Minnesota and reminisced about the days when he called on us. Perhaps some of you will re- member Seth Marshall, who also called on us. And, ne of the men still makes calls on us selling Zenith TVs--thats Willie Steinlicht! Yes, the days of the traveling men like that are gone!” Florence Hogen recalls that “during the early days of running the store all delivering of major ap- pliances was done after the regular store hours--usually with Marvis doing the whole job--lifting appli- ances sometimes without the use of any kind of an appliance cart--just a strong back--! There just weren’t any eight hour days then.” Florence continued, “we at- tended hardware buying shows at least twice a year in Minneapolis and Duluth--trying to learn what was new to offer our customers and, of course, combine business with a brief bit of vacation--we’ve made good friends through the years in the hardware field.” Mrs. Hogen also recalled that, “for quite a few years we stayed open every Saturday night-- sometimes until the movie theatre closed! Folks would come to town and send the kids to the show and just visit around on Main Street until it was time to go home. One family got all the way home on Saturday night--only to discover they’d left one child in town. They called us and we kept the boy overnight--our kids thought it was just great!” Florence laughingly also re- called that, “when you run a hard- ware store, you find that nearly all of the dishes you have at home are ones that have been chipped and cannot be sold!”“Hardware ladies,” she said, “belong to a group called, ‘The Order of the Chipped Cup’!” Marvis continued by saying, “In visiting with people about which business had been in operation the longest, we came to the conclusion that ours is the privately owned re- tail business that has been contin- uously operated the longest under the same ownership in Kadoka. Bill Goins, Helen Collins, The Eq- uity Union Exchange, the Jackson County Abstract Company, the Kadoka Telephone Company and The Kadoka Press have all been in business longer than we have but, ‘retail, privately owned, same man- agement,’ doesn’t fit them all.” The tradition of caring and tak- ing care of the customer that Mar- vis and Florence began, still continues today. Their daughter, Randi, and her husband, Don Oyan, moved to Kadoka 1976 and start working at the store. Quite a few years later they began to oper- ate the store and gradually took ownership of the business. “Many things have changed over the years,” said Randi, “and we’ve tried to adjust with the times, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is the support we’ve received from the community. The community has helped make our business what it is and it has been a very good business.” Hogen’s Hardware will be cele- brating their 67th anniversary with a customer appreciation day on Saturday, April 13. Coffee and cookies will be served throughout the day and lunch will be provided from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Taken from the Kadoka Press issue April 16, 1981. Florence and Marvis Hogen opened their business in here on April 13, 1946 and have continu- ously served the Kadoka trade ter- ritory with a first-class hardware store since that time. The store is probably one of the best, if not the best, hardware stores in this part of the state. The Hogens opened their store in 1946 in the old bakery building that was only 15-feet wide. The two-building store was used both as a store and a dwelling place, Hogen recalls. It was purchased from the Bertha Martinsky estate for $1,050.00. It was paid for with a $300.00 down payment and monthly payments of $25.00. Hogen said that their first deliv- ery vehicle was a 1929 Chevrolet. This unit was purchased new from the Jack Thomas Auto Company by Ivan Colburn. Colburn had sold the vehicle to Rudy Peterson and Hogen bought it from Peterson.

“Sweet Jesus, Please Save Me -

Before I Go Broke”II Corinthians 4:7 But we have this

treasure in earthen vessels, that the

excellency of the power may be of God and not us.

Chorus

We’re in - one boatAnd; we all sink or float.Will some of our leaders

Read the Words God wrote?Jesus walked on water;

Please save, help us float.“Sweet Jesus, please save us -

Before we go broke.”

Chorus

Written byLarry R. Grimme

Jan. 10, 2013

Inspiration:Sweet Jesus, please save me. Wecan lose all our worldly riches, yetJesus ultimate saving grace willraise us from a grave. Saving usnow, Jesus will meet our needs.Saving us from a tomb, we leave

an empty grave behind. Saving usfrom the power of Satan, Jesushas already had victory at His

Cross:Saving us - from blindness

of this world’s bondage.Saving us - from losing it all

since we will always have Jesus.Saving us - as we leave a world

crippled by sin.Saving us - as we walk those

Golden streets in Heaven, forever.

I’m home - aloneAnd I need-en’ some prayer.

The shadows whisper,“Nobody cares.”

My hope - remote;“Sweet Jesus, please save me -

Before I go broke.”

Chorus:Take me home, sweet Jesus,

“Can’t afford the rent.”Take me home, sweet Jesus,

“My taxes - all spent.”My country done spent it.

A new baby’s due.Sweet Jesus, please save me -

Now, my riches are in you.

I’m there - aloneAt the end of my rope.

The world’s - a - saying,“Spend it all and hope.”

I gave all to Caesar;Pay taxes and croak.

“Sweet Jesus, please save me -Before I go broke.”

Chorus

Maxed out - in debt;‘Bove the ceiling’s the sky.

The coffer is empty;Dig deep and try.

My treasure is Jesus;He pays all my notes.

“Sweet Jesus, please save me -Before I go broke.

Ad ordered and paid for by Larry Grimme, Belvidere, SD

Read Genesis 39:1-23The life of Joseph teaches important principles about

challenging times. Here are three of the lessons we canlearn from the adversities he faced:

1. Difficulties will continue until God’s purpose is ac-complished. In Joseph’s case, God’s plan was to prepare him to rescue his family as well as the nation ofEgypt from famine. In order to ready Joseph for a position of authority and responsibility, God placedhim in an important Egyptian household as a slave. There, in difficult circumstances, Joseph could learnkey lessons needed for the future. Not only did he acquire valuable skills, but his faith and relationshipwith the Lord were also strengthened. God still operates that way so we will be equipped to accomplishthe work He has planned for us (Eph. 2:10). 2. We learn more in the dark than we do in the light. Besides discovering the Lord’s faithfulness, Josephlearned how to discern God’s presence, reject temptation, and handle any position, whether respected orlowly. The lessons and principles of Scripture truly become “ours” only after they have been tested andproven reliable. 3. What we learn in the darkness, we are to share in the light. Joseph openly shared his faith andknowledge from God when he interpreted Pharaoh’s dreams (Gen. 41:15-16). He did not let imprisonmentstop him from helping others (40:1-23). What we learn in our trials is to be offered to those who are suf-fering. Nobody looks for adversity, but hard times seem to find us often enough. Instead of fearing hard cir-cumstances, we can trust God and embrace His plan, knowing He uses trials for His glory and our gain.

The Easter egg hunt was a suc-cess. Over seventy children were inattendance. The egg hunt was heldat the auditorium due to inclementweather.

Sarah VanderMay talked aboutbusiness of the month. Everymonth a different business wouldbe highlighted in the paper. It wasalso felt that a highlight of a busi-ness would be great for those busi-nesses without a store front. Sarahpresented two different quotesfrom the Kadoka Press for the busi-ness highlight ad.

She also discussed the “cashmob” idea. KCBA and communitymembers would “mob” a businesson a designated day and time andmake purchases at the business.Highlighted businesses and mobbusinesses would be featured inthe ad in the Kadoka Press.

“So, now you’re not only a drugrunner but also a tax man,” shesaid. The postmaster was justcouching in accusatory andderogatory terms a fairly innocentactivity. I was, at the time, pickingup the mail for some neighbors,and it contained two packagesfrom a pharmacy that rattled andwere obviously some pills. A thirdwas from an accounting firm and,at this time of year, could be as-sumed to be a tax return thatneeded to be signed and forwardedto our dear friends at the InternalRevenue Service. “Yep,” I replied.“That’s me.” No use denying it, nomatter how bad it sounded. Whatshe’d said was true although itwasn’t anything illegal or evenreprehensible.

She was, of course, just gettingback at me for a zinger I’d deliv-ered to her a few days earlier.When I got the mail that day, itcontained a notice saying I had apackage that was too big for thebox. I duly presented the notice atthe desk only to find my packagealready sitting there ready to bepicked up. Our postmaster hadseen me coming when I camethrough the door and knew I had apackage I’d want to get. She got itready before I asked for it. “I hadno idea you were that efficient,” Isaid in mock surprise. This remarkinsinuated that efficiency was notnormally obvious in that place tothe casual observer. “Hey!” she ob-jected as if I’d delivered a terribleinsult, but she knew better sinceshe was smiling at the time.

Such back and forth trading ofinsults is quite common amongfriends. It is just an interestingsubstitute for more normal conver-sation that might otherwise begin,“And how are you today?” or “Niceday isn’t it?” Young people are par-ticularly adept at this mock-insultgive and take. On TV the otherday, I heard one teenager saying toanother, “Your village just called.They’re missing an idiot.” Anotheryoung gal said to her older brother,“You’re lying. I can tell by the stu-pid smile on your face.” Thebrother had a good comeback,though. He said, “I always havethis stupid smile on my face.”

I’ve even heard someone saysomething like, “Please take thisto the garage and try not to tripover your own feet on the way.”

The last part of this request is ob-viously not necessary and apt tobring an objection from the sup-posed carrier of whatever is sup-posed to be carried. I read asimilar thing the other day in apicture of a musical staff wherethe key signature was beingchanged to six flats. Most of us pi-anists aren’t overly fond of playingin six flats because one of those isC-flat which isn’t a black key asmost flats are, but another whitekey which is normally just called Binstead of C-flat. It can be hard toremember. Anyway, in the picture,there were the normal notationsfor speed and volume along withthe instruction to “Play withoutgriping about the key.” This isprobably good advice, but it won’ttake very well with me. I alwaysgrumble around when I see a keychange to six flats. Three or fourflats or sharps are all fine and wellor even five if completely neces-sary. Six of either seems excessive.

When I was a kid, I sometimegot to spend an afternoon with mycousin on the neighboring ranch.He was sort of my hero since hewas handsome and always happyand kind. He would come take mysister and me swimming some-times, and once he gave me apuppy that I’d seen at his placeand taken a liking to. It was agrand pet for a lot of years. Any-way, if some of his friends werearound, they would good-na-turedly insult each other withsome of the worst-soundingphrases imaginable. Paul had beenin the Navy and had quite a vocab-ulary. Coming from a fairly pro-tected and innocent background, Isometimes had no idea what onearth they were talking about.Some of the phrases didn’t registerwith me for a number of years.Still, I enjoyed the give and takealthough it never occurred to me touse such language myself. Hearingthem banter around was some-what enjoyable, however, since itmade me feel sort of grown up.

By the way, don’t you have any-thing better to do than sittingaround reading this drivel? Well, Icertainly hope not. I would just assoon you keep on reading since Ilike writing and hope to continuedoing so for awhile. I’ll be backnext week so you can read on,drivel or otherwise.

Spring tillage is atradition that is steeped deeplyinto American agriculture. Now,more and more producers are real-izing that tillage is not in the bestinterest of their soil’s health. “Tillage was once considerednecessary in order to prepare aproper seed bed for planting. Now,we know that we can produce asmuch or more grain without tillingthe soil,” says Jason Miller, Conser-vation Agronomist with the Natu-ral Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) Pierre, SD. “Tillage passes reduce surfacesoil moisture, but more alarming isthat fact that tillage is incrediblydestructive to soil; it is like a tor-nado going through a house,’ saysMiller. Tillage collapses and de-stroys organic matter and soilstructure. “Those macro pores inthe soil structure are essential–they are what helps water to infil-trate the soil profile,” he says. “The possibility of 2013 beinganother dry year should have pro-ducers rethinking their use oftillage,” says Miller. In a tilled con-dition, soil is vulnerable to erosion.“As dry as the soil profile is start-ing out this year, even getting thecrop seeded will be difficult withouta concern for wind erosion,” saysMiller. Winds during the springeasily pick up soil particles ontilled fields before crops can be-come established. “Reducing or eliminating tillage,increases surface residue, buildsorganic matter and preserves soilhealth,” says Miller. Improvedcropping systems for building soilshould include no-till, diverse highresidue producing crop rotationsand cover crops. Producers interested in learningmore about soil health or wantingtechnical assistance for implement-ing a soil health management sys-tem on their farm or ranch shouldcontact their local NRCS office orvisit the Soil Health InformationCenter at www.nrcs.usda.gov.

Winter Wheat Status UpdateA month ago, this column ad-

dressed the apparent lack of win-terkill over much of the winterwheat growing area in SouthDakota, as well as concerns aboutdrought and vernalization. Basedon observations and reports fromseveral farmers, agronomists andcrop consultants, the lack of win-terkill seems to be holding true assoil temperatures are raising towhere seeds are found to be germi-nating, or seeds already germi-nated continuing to grow.

For the most part, this is alsolowering the concern about thecrop vernalizing, as the germina-tion process began early enoughfor much of the crop to go throughthe required period of time at soiltemperatures low enough to do so.

For much of the state however,the lack of soil moisture continuesto be a concern. Many areas re-ceived moderate amounts of snow,and some a little rain, which wasenough to provide good soil mois-ture from a few inches to a footdeep or more. Given the low waterrequirement of the wheat plants atthis early stage, this will beenough for them to get a start andgrow for a few weeks, but addi-tional moisture is needed soon.Some areas, such as west of Pierre,have received very limited mois-ture over the winter, maybeenough to begin the germinationprocess and allow it to vernalize,but little enough that someseeds/sprouts are molding.

A number of winter wheat fieldsin south-central South Dakotawere evaluated on April 4, and al-though very little growth was seenabove ground, sprouts were foundbeneath the soil surface, andwould be expected to emerge in afew days. Fields in central andnorthern South Dakota, with snowcover until recently, and lower soiltemperatures, will certainly be be-hind this progress. Although manywinter wheat fields look dismal,time, and hopefully rain, couldmake a big difference.

As discussed in an earlier col-umn, the dominant component inwheat yield is the number of headsper unit area. You obviously won’tbe able to know how many tillerseach plant will produce at this

stage, but a good plant populationto have is 14-15 or more plants persquare foot. If the stand is rela-tively uniform across the field (aminimum of blank areas), standsas low as 5-6 plants per square footcan produce nearly 70% of maxi-mum yield if managed properly.

Before destroying a winterwheat field, certainly contact yourcrop insurance agent. Even if anadjuster assigns a yield value tothe field, you may want to weighthe pros and cons of abandoningthe field for another use. Theprospect of successfully raising an-other crop will be highly depend-ent on rainfall. Producers maywant to consider planting addi-tional forage crops into less thanadequate winter wheat stands inhopes of producing hay, whichcould be in high demand.

Any field that is subject to winderosion, such as fallow fields, or ifthe previous crop was soybeans,field peas, sunflowers, corn cut forsilage or hay, etc.; it would be ben-eficial to plant something, maybea cover crop, rather than leave itbare.

ter garden soil if you stop tilling. Itis difficult to get rid of the old ideaof tilling deep and frequent, suchhard work only brings up moreweed seeds and destroys the mi-croorganisms in the soil that breakdown the roots which makes richgarden soil. Tilling also creates ahardpan; let the earth worms dothe fertilizing, instead of choppingthem up with the tiller or hoe. So now you are asking what todo with the weeds? The answer isto just start adding mulch andcover them up. Mulch can come inmany different forms such as card-board, shredded paper, newspaper(without color print) just soak themwith water and add grass clippings,wood chips, straw, bark or hay ontop, I have even carpeted some ofmy walkways. We here in ruralSouth Dakota have an advantage,because there is always well rottenmanure available, or an old stackyard nearby to gather hay mulchleft over from last winter’shaystacks, lots of grass clippings,dried leaves, kitchen scraps and allthe other things that can be addedthat were once a living plant, andit doesn’t cost a bit. If weeds come

through you don’t have the mulchthick enough, add more--- up to 8-10 inches, and keep a supply at theedge of the yard, to keep addingmore. This takes a little more effortin the spring, but eliminates a lotof work the rest of the summer, andyour plants will love it, especiallywhen it is 110 degrees and thirtymile hour south wind. With theprediction of another drought year,your garden plants can be muchhappier with some protections fortheir roots, plus the worms and mi-croorganisms are busy at workunder the mulch making you moreand better soil, otherwise if it is dryand parched on top of the soil theworms and their companions aredriven deeper into the ground. An-other plus is the worms make holesin the soil so water can permeateinto the soil instead of running off.Keep adding your much yeararound and eventually build yoursoil in to a rich loam your plantswill produce and thrive in.

Stop tilling for a better garden soil The SDSU Cottonwood FieldStation has recently undergonemajor renovations and is staged tobecome a prominent communityand agricultural resource for thetri-county area. The South DakotaState University Extension Serviceand Agriculture Experiment Sta-tion Office will hold 3 meetings togather community input concern-ing public awareness of, and ideasto increase the utilization of theCottonwood Field Station. Eachforum will be held from 5:30 to 8:30p.m. with a meal provided at:

Jiggers Restaurant,Kadoka, April 30

Wall Community Center,Wall, May 1

The Steakhouse,Philip, May 2

Community involvement is keyto the success of these forums. At-tendees will be asked to participatein small group discussions and pro-vide input and perspectives aboutthe station through questions pre-sented by the moderator. Our goalsfor these forums are: •Build a relationship betweenthe community and the station •Increase visibility and rele-vance of station functions •Improve integration of the sta-tion into the community •Better utilize station resourcesfor community events Please plan to attend one of theforums and let your ideas be heard.We value your input! Please RSVPon or before April 23 to PauletteMorse (605-394-1722 [email protected]).

that can really make traveling dan-gerous but also cause considerabledamage to our trees and shrubs,"he said.

In "Pruning Fruit Trees"http://igrow.org/gardens/commer-cial-horticulture/pruning-fruit-trees/, Geoffrey Njue discusses thatthe spring is the best time to do thepruning. This is also the best timeof year to prune shade trees. One ofthe major differences being that weare generally not pruning to maxi-mize fruit production but ratherpruning to improve the form andstructure of the tree so that it willprovide good shade but also be bet-ter able to withstand spring icestorms and summer thunder-storms.

"One of the most important as-pects here is to eliminate narrow"V"-shaped crotches and doubleleaders at the top of the trees,"Graper said. "The best time to cor-rect these problems and preventwhat is often the most serious dam-age to your trees during a storm, isto prune the trees while they are

young."Ideally Graper says you should

prune out potential structuralproblems while the branches aresmall enough to be removed with ahand pruner or loppers, from theground. Removing the brancheswhen they are small, less than 2-inches in diameter, causes lessstress to the tree and allows thetree to recover from the pruningmuch more rapidly.

"It is also much safer for you toconduct the pruning because youare doing it from the ground anddon't have to resort to using a lad-der and a chainsaw, which is oftena dangerous combination," he said."If the tree has gotten too large towork on from the ground or thebranches too large to be removedwith a lopper or small pruning saw,consider contacting a local arboristto do the work for you. We havemany well-trained arborists in theregion that know how to properlyprune your trees and know how todo it in a safe manner for you andyour property."

Our local weather forecastersays that we are now in meteoro-logical spring, says David Graper,Extension Horticulture Specialistand Director of McCrory Gardens.He is quick to point out that this isslightly different than regularspring in that it runs during themonths of March through May.

"In my experience, March can berather unpredictable as far as theweather is concerned but we arelikely to see a mixture of warmerspring-like weather which cansometimes be quickly followed byremnants of 'old man winters'fury," Graper said.

Graper reminds readers thatduring March, temperatures canswing from near 10 degrees Ferin-height (F) to more than 40 degreesF over the course of a day, espe-cially in western South Dakota.

"The best part of spring thoughis that even if we get dumped onwith a spring snow storm, the snowgenerally melts fairly quickly inthe next few days. Unfortunately,this is also the time of year whenwe can get the dreaded ice storms
