It gave a total of 460,000 dozen chickens or ap I proximately five and a half million r for the state. “Taking this finding in connection with a United States census report that the chicken raising business in South Dakota aggregated a return of $30,000,000 in 1920, it appears that each adult chicken earns aliout five dollars a day,” a statement of the tax commission said. Hutchinson county ranks highest in number of chickens, according to the county reports, which give this country 18,148 dozen. Other ranking counties in order are Turner with 16, 158 dozen.

D., Aug. 24.—Farm ers of the wheat belt have Indicated that they will sow an aggregate of 42.919.000 acres of land this fall to winter wheat, ns against 40,191,000 acres sown to that crop a year ago, according to a summary Issued by the United States department of agriculture and contained In a bul letin Issued today at the office of H. O. Herbrandson, agricultural statis tician for South Dakota. The increase In acreage would amount, the department says, to seven and one-half per cent of the total acreage. The summary Is based on Intentions to plant as expressed by farmers on August 1. Compared with the average annual sowing of 33,741.000 acres from 1909 to 1913, the Intended sowing this fall Indicates an Increase of 20.2 per cent, and compared with the average an nual harvested acreage over the same period of 30,296,000 acres, the in crease amounts to 41.9 per cent, the report notes. The average annual abandonment of winter wheat acreage for the last 10 years has been 10.6 per cent, the reduction In acreage due to abandon ment ranking from 1 to 31 per cent. If the average annual abandonment occurs this winter It will leave about 38.370.000 acres to be harvested next summer. Reports on rye Indicate an increase ed acreage for that crop of 14.1 per cent. Acreage sown last fall was estimated at 4.377,000 acres, and an Increase of 14.1 per cent this season would Indicate a total acreage of 4. 992.000, compared with an average annual acreage from 1909 to 1913 of 2.562.000. This report, the department of agri culture makes plain, is not a fore cast of acreage, but merely a state ment of expressed Intentions of farm ers to plant, as based on inquiries answered by thousands of farmers throughout the producing area. Mr. Herbrandson warned farmers today that they will do well to study the corn situation, with a view to saving Borne of this year's crop for seed for noxt year's crop.

Croweri Claim Platte Vi ill Have liig Potato Crop Columbus, Neb., Aug. 14 — llecord breaking yields of potatoes are report ed for l he Platte velley by growers who declare they will ‘'make the tiest potato records In ttie state* history." Conditions Are Better Despite Stock Decline Technical Drops to Correct Too Fast an Advance—Steel Demand and Produc tion Greater. t«.v RICHARD SPILLANE T'nlversnl Smlce Financial Fall tor. New York, Ang. 24.—Conditions continue to improve. The action of the stock and grain markets in the last week—if you took the speculative markets as barometers—would not seem to support that statement hut it nevertheless Is true. The sharp decline In stocks may he considered as technical. The advance had been too fast and had to be corrected. There has been no basic rhange In the grain situation. Crops are short and world demand must he met but haste In marketing has been temporarily created a glut with a consequent sharp drop in prices. Reports from the steel mills are of increasing demand and increased pro duction. There the process is more orderly than it is in relation to mar keting crops. Demand for pig Iron Is better and Pittsburgh reports a slow but steady improvement. Itailroad earnings do not show up well but transportation people are now feeling the effects of the depres sion of some months ago. With crop movement in full sway the results should be better especially ns the monetary return from the crops will mean a larger volume of buying by the agricultural population and re plenishing of merchandising stock by retailers. Politics at the moment are not a disturbing Influence. News from abroad continues cheerful. At no time since the war has the prospect been so good, hut trade results from settlement of the German problem may be slow In developing. Mean while the exchanges are relatively steady with a tendency to Improve. The government's report Saturday Indicating a cotton crop of 12,956,000 bales means a fair supply of cotton for the next 12 months and a good profit to the cotton grower. The yield may be larger or smaller than the government estimate. That de pends on the weather. Slowly but surely the copper indus try is coming back. So is the oil in dustry. Reports as to the motor trade are much better. General trade Is fair. Money con tinues cheap. I-abor continues well employed. The summer has been singular In that it has produced no major strike and less than the average number of minor la bor disturbances That means a great national saving. DRUGGISTS HAPPY OVER LAW CHANGE Syracuse, Aug. 24.—The druggists of Otoe county met at 6 Friday eve ning at the Commercial hotel at this place.

During the war period the detail of keeping records for the govern ment was a serious Item to the aver age retail druggist and the fact that these are gradually being abolished is a source of much satisfaction.

' I Mother Dreams of Getting Money; Awakens to Find It in Her Purse Chicago, Aug. 24.—Do dreams come true? You say, “No!” Some any, “Yea.” Mrs. David Goldenlierg Is of the latter class, for Mrs. Goldenberg has had the experience herself, she claims. It was a nek ago that Mrs. Gold enberg dreamed that her father, Isaac Seidelman dead for nine months, came to her. “How Is everything?” he asked. To which she replied that things were not as well as they might be— her husband was out of work, times were hard, money was scarce. Then, she says, her father handed her a sum of money in a roll. "Take this." he said, “and start a little business with It.” Counts Out Coins. Then he handed her other coins of silver, some were dollars, others 60 cent pieces. As he handed her each coin he told her to whom to give It. “Give this 50 cents to Martin; give this $1 to Nathan,” etc. In the morning Mrs. Goldenberg went to the grocery store. She knew she had only $10 In her purse, «he declares, for the night before, on opening it to pay for milk, she had taken every bit of change she had, leaving Just the $10 bill. When she opened her purse to pay for the groceries she found a roll of bills inside and, wondering, took it out. The roll looked exactly like that which her father had handed tier In her dream. It contained 1100. There, too, In the bottom of the purse, she says, lay silver pieces— 11 of them, just as her father had counted them out to her In her dream. Money Unexplained. ThBt was a week ago. The money Is still unaccounted for, and Mrs. Goldenberg believes now that dreams come true—that a miracle has been worked. She refuses to believe other wise and points out that no one in her family would be financially able to place such a sum there. Speaking through her 24-year-old son, Martin—for Mrs. Goldenberg, who came from Russia three years ago, speaks but little Kngllsh—she told of her surprise at finding th^ money. Source Is 1‘uzile. “There le no place that it could come from,” she said. "We had no money like that. And I told no one of my dream at all. 1 went to the store shortly after I arose, without mentioning It. I thought It just like other dreams. But there the money was, and I haven't the slightest Idea how It got there.” Mrs. Goldenberg has four children: Jacob, 27; Martin, 24. a student at Marquette: Oharlottp, 21 and Michael, 8. Her mother, Mrs. Isaac Seidel man, livea upstairs in the same house. r " ““N Omaha Produce v_J Omaha. Aug. 22.

AT Untk Mil Updike Grain Corporation "A RvllafcW I'Buliwnl Nmn* Wheat Bulls Give Ground to Rush of Winter Grain Liquidation Results in Severe Break—Foreign Buying Falls Flat on Advances During Week. By CHARLES J. LEYDEN, Inltrrsal Nrrvlee Muff Cnrreitpoadeet. Chicago, Aug 24.—Wheat bulls gave ground last wt«k to the per sistent rush of winter grain from the farms. Since July 1 primary re ceipts totalled 113,000,000 bushels, or 26,000.000 bushels more than last year for the same jierkid. Speculators realized that the load was becoming too burdensome and liquidated their holdings on a big scale. A severe break resulted. Europe Is credited with needing materially more wheat this year thun last, possibly 200,000,000 bushels more, but to date foreign buyers have not shown any great desire to antici pate tholr wants. Export buying has been brisk on the breaks, but has fallen flat on the advances. This de velopment can be laid to the heavier yields of wheat in North America than were indleated two months age. With wheat rushing to market at an average of 20,000.000 bushels weekly theories of world shortage have been exploded, at least for the present. The wheat market staged a miracu lous advance of 53c at a season of the year when price* seldom work higher, but the world situation has changed considerably since. The reaction that has occurred from the recent high point Is only a natural one. Hedging sales kept ac cumulating daily and the domestic and foreign absorption was unable to cope with the offerings. The price is materially above that of last year at this time, and while the world sup ply will be less the Immediate situa tion Is not necessarily attractive from a bull standpoint. Weather conditions over the Ameri can and Canadian northwest have turned quite favorable for the ma turing of the late wheat and the cut ting and fiarvestlng of the early. The Canadian movement will follow upon the heels of the northwest run. It is apparent that hedging *3les are going to continue liberal for the next month or six weeks. The deduction is that prices will have to drop to the point where foreign buyers will bring about a balance in the situation. By no means has the trade lost faith In the bull side of wheat. They are distinctly hopeful for a good year of high prices relative to 1S23. The Argentine crop has experienced considerable dry weather, and pros pect* In several of the southern hem isphere provinces are unfavorable. It is too early, however, to estimate what the Argentine will produce. Weather conditions have finally smiled on the poor old corn crop. The market lost ali of the gain last week it registered the previous week. Longs went out of their corn on a large scale, and with the forecast fer continued favorable conditions buyers fought shy of the pit. There are many good Judges of weather who look for a late mild fall. If It ma terializes. It Is likely that the corn yields will be about up to early ex pectations. Otherwise not. The movement of oats Is getting under way, and while the stocks at primary points are small, this grain has weakened with other*. Hedging sales started to enter the pit at a line when longs were ready to liqui date. The price of oats Is cheap compared with corn, however, and ■hould display relative stubbornness to further pressure. Rancher See? ^ liite Deer. Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
