FARM CONDITIONS
BETTER ON WHOLE
Report From State and Federal Bu
reau of Markets and Crop
Estimates Optimistic.
An improved condition of winter
wheat, the husking of corn well ad
vanced in most counties, about 0
per cent of the commercial potato
crop marketed, sugar beet harvest
practically completed and some im
provement in the hog cholera situa
tion are the salient points in a re
view of farm conditions issued here
today by the state and federal bu
reau of markets and crop estimates.
The report says in full:
"Winter wheat has improved con
siderably thruout the state since the
recent rains. PrevioJus to tthis all
wheat was needing moisture badly
and in some of the counties it was
in critical condition. Considerable of
the wheat in south central and
southwestern counties bad not even
sprouted and some that finally did
sprout died, due to lack of moisture.
Farmers are more hopeful now as
most of these fields have a chance to
make a fair stand if November
weather Is favorable.
"The husking of corn is well ad
vanced for this date, altho much of
it remains to be gathered. However,
a few farmers will finish within a
week. Husking began early this year
but has been rather disagreeable due
to tbe very dry condition. Much of
the corn had fallen off the stalks.
Some of the corn is being placed in
roofless cribs or upon the ground,
due to lack of storage bins. It ap
pears that the qvality and yield will
not be equal to that of last year's
crop altho many of the important
corn producing counties have excel
lent yields and quality.
"Approximately 60 per cent of the
commercial potato crop has been
marketed. A total of 2,246 oars were
marketed up to November 1, which
is more than double the number mar
keted up to the same date a year ago
and almost three times the quantity
marketed up to the the same date
two years ago. Harvest began earlier
than usual this year and the price
also stimulated early marketing. The
average yield of the farm crop is
very low.
"The sugar beet harvest Is prac
tically completed. The planted acre
age is about 12 per cent below last
year. The average yield has not yet
been determined but from appear
ances it will approximate last year's
"There is some improvement in
the hog cholera situation. Individual
losses have been quite severe. While
the demand for hogs for feeding is
good, some light weight bogs are
being marketed wbich seems to be
due to the fear of a break In price."

Des Moines, la., Nov. 7. Stanis

the first fall in one hour, twenty
minutes and twenty seconds
Caddock was stunned from the ef
fects of the first fall and offered lit
tie resistance to the Pole's attacks.
After twenty-four minotes o? grap
pling Caddock conceded the fall, be

magnificient hlgh-souled youths
with heroic hearts who fell for right
and for liberty with a smile to a
land that has piously entombed

sends me as a near relative. I am
coming to assure them that the re
collection of those heroes is deeply
graven in the hearts of every
Frenchman."

and war bonnet. Plenty Coos of the
Crows, Lone Wolf of Kiowas and
Amos Red Owl and Stranger Horse
of the Sioux were chosen to confer
the decoration by Commissioner of
Indian Affairs Burks, because of
their prominence in the history of
the west. Each is a high chief In his
tribe, and has fought American sol
diers. They will be dressed in- full
war regalia.
The coup stick, pronounced "koo,"
is several feet long and was carried
by warriors who considered it a
brave deed to touch an enemy dur
ing a fight. When a warrior did so
he cut a notch in the stick or at
tached it to an eagle feather.
The war bonnet was regarded by
the warrior as the most important
article of his regalia, and only prov
en braves were allowed to wear one.
Tbe long plume was made from ea
gle feathers, and each father repre
sented a particular deed. Consent of
the tribe had to be obtained to make
a war bonnet, and the making was
an occasion for much ceremony.
