A Sample of What Can he Learned From
South Dakota This Year.

A sample of what Can he Learned From
south Dakota This Year.
Brown county, South Dakota, is
rejoicing over one OF the most remark
able crops ever produced in any like
amount of territory, says the Sioux
City Journal. The estimated yield OF
wheat alone is 100000 bushels.
These figures almost surpass BELIEF,
vet they are verified by the expressed
opinion of conservative experts and
other substantial considerations.
According to the returns made to the
local assessors, exclusive of tree
claims, there are in cultivation in the
county 600, 900 acres of land. OF this,
400. 900 acres are in wheat. All agree
that the yield is very high and there
is practically no poor wheat. Neither
insects, nor hail, nor heat has been
experienced. AS a result many fields
will Weld from twenty-five to thirty
bushels per acre. A general average
of fifteen bushels would produce the
| 5000, 900, the total estimated yield.
1t is therefore seen TO be under
rather than over the reality.
This is the production of one
county. 1t is only a small part of a
great whole. Yet this part promises
to furnish enough grain to feed l,0OO,-
900 people for a year. Half the popu'
lation of Iowa car be supplied by
Brown county alone. The great city
of Chicago need buy wheat from
nowhere else if it would take thu
whole crop. The population of tn
county is 1855, not all engaged IL
agriculture. Therefore less than six
teen people working under such fayo
able conditions as exist in Soutl
Dakota suffice to feed1 1000. Thi
crop is worth at home, at a SINAI
estimate, so cents per Dushel, or
total of $4,000, 600, an average of s22
to every man. woman and child With
: the county's borders. According {
, the usual estimate this is s1,125 {
: every family. The actual average
each farmer necessarily must b
larger, for the total populatio
includes several towns, among whic
is Aberdeen with a population {

y occupy 200, 900 acres OF land, and it
k fair TO assume that they are neee
sarily as profitable as wheat raisir
or else more land would be sown
wheat. The total agricultural pr
duct of this one county cannot by al
q estimate fall below s., 000,0 900 or ov
$500 per family. With such
n record Brown county can rightful
challenge comparison with any Ill
