Aberdeen News: Talk about pros
perity! No. l Northern wheat in this
market to-day is worth 80 cents q bushel
more than it was II year ago to day.
Yankton Press, l3: But the trouble
with your prosperity is that No. l North
ern wheat was selling for 35 cents a
bushel less than the farmer could afford
to sell it for, a year ago to-day. The
present price does not make an excessive
profit for the farmer whose acres pro-
duce from 10 to ID bushels to the acre
and the average production of the state
is set down at 1917 bushels. The farmer
who has 100 acres of average wheat even
at the present high price, will get not te
exceed $1,000 or $1,000 for his crop. How
much profit or prosperity is there in that
sum for a years work, after oeductine
cost of seed, tax, probably insurance and
hired help. The farmer is deserving Of
more than this. Every indu strious far
mer who manages a farm Of 100 acres
ought to make a clear annual profit OF
at least $1,000. When this is done, then
we shall have prosperity Of a substantial
and permanent kind.

Advance s heets of the Insurance COM
missioners report of this state show that
the companies have had a very profitable
year though a decrease in business IN
South Dakota. The fire risks written by
foreign companies was a little over sew
enteen and a half millions, the premiums
received 1851 AL n losses incurred
S1G3. i39. This left the companies $780,

handsome profit. The Hartford, tn st.

A. 0. L. w. are included in the business
of foreign companies, and with them in
cluded, the total risks written for the
year amount to $5,957,775, which is a
smaller amount than for any yea since
1892, and only about half the risks writ.
ten for 1895. Premiums received for the
year amounted to s344,24l losses incurred
222,9l5; LOSSES paid. s2l7,Go5. With q
volume of business of only about one
half that of 1895, the losses incurred are
nearly equal to that year, and the losses
paid are in excess, showing that the bus
mess is not nearly SC profitable.
The Masonic Aid, a home company
shows risks in force at the end of the
year amounting to s1,924,O00, a loss fol
the year of $1,000.
The ~fraternal assessment companies
