    Farms Operating
in South Dakota
Show Increase
Chicken Growing Industry
Makes Remarkable Prog
ress—Brings Heavy Re
turns, Says Report.
By Associated Prem.
Pierre. S. D.. Aug. 24—While the
total number of farms In operation In
South Dakota decreased by approxi
mately 350 during the last year, a
distinct note of development was In
dicated by a substantial Increase In
farms In both the owner and renter
group In Mellette county, according
to the first totals taken from tho
1324 assessment lists announced to
day by the state tax commission.
Mellette county returned 407 farms
under operation by owners and 120
in the renter group a year ago, but
this year the totals are 449 in the
owner and 170 in the renter group—a
net gain of 92 forms for the year, the
report showed. Slight decreases in
number of farms under operation was
recorded in most counties.
New light was thrown on the chick
en raising industry in the state by
inauguration for the first time of a
census basis of assessment. 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. Bon Homme with 15,448
dozen, Minnehaha with 15,272 dozen
»nd Charles Mix with 14,448 dozen.
Referring back to the farm total for
tho state, the commission reported
76,248 farms in operation this year as
against 76,600 shown in the assess
ment reports of a year ago. The own
er group dropped in the prlod from
44,255 to 43,104 and the renter group
rose from 32,345 to 33,144. The totals
bear no direct relation In the tabu
lation to the decrease In number of
farms In operation.
Work of tabulating totals on crop
acreage and livestock is Incomplete.

"Many field* have hud tliclr yields
reduced as much as one-fourth," the
report says, "and In a few cases the
loss has been one-half and even three
fourths of the crop."
"In case of heavy Infestations, the
wheat that Is produced does not sell
well on the market on account of
being mixed with the smut balls,
which are hard to remove from the
wheat. Improper treatment or no
treatment at all le responsible for
the loss. These losses can he elim

Fanner Will Sow
More Land This
Fall for Wheat
Increase Will Amount to 49
Per Cent, According to
Reports — Information
Indicates Rye Boom.
By Associated Pres*.
Watertown, S. 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.
GULLS FIGHTING
GRASSHOPPERS
Pierre, S. D., Aug. 24— An un
usually large crop of grasshoppers In
the central part of South Dakota this
year Is meeting natural opposition In
great flocks of gulls which In scat
tered places are proving the only
means of saving alfalfa fields from
total destruction, according to reports
received by the state department of
Immigration.
In many Instances the birds are sold
to be hovering so thickly over the
fields as to form the npi>earanre of a
shifting blue mantel. Commissioner
Irwin D. Aldrich declared, and added
that farmers who benefit most from
the winged Influx may be Inspired to
emulate action of early Mormons In '
rtah, who set up a monument to the
gulls one year nfter the birds flocked '
In at an opportune time and van
quished a disastrous grasshopper

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

cussion was held at which the rev
enue law* as affecting the retail
druggist was discussed. Much satis
faction was expressed over the recent
repeal of the soda fountain syrup
tax also the repeal of the tax on
Jewelry and fountain pen sales.
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.
Every town in the county was rep- ,
resented and while these meetings1
are foatered by the state association i
they are conducted along educational!
lines and no one is barred from at- j
tending tait are urged to express
themselves freely along any line that

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.

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.
