The trial of Gibson has been one Of
almost national Importance, being a Ill

Mississippi. The case has been twice

Yankton, May 5.-Small grain has all
e planted in this section and much
OF IT Is coming up nicely. Farmers de-
clare all grain is coming up more oven
than it has for several years, which
they attribute to the even distribution
OF the moisture. The surface moisture
has entirely disappeared, except on the
bottom lands along the rivers. but in
the greater part of this territory there
will yet be time enough to plant corn.
Wheat will be more extensively culti-
waited this year than ~ before, the
best authorities estimating the increase
OF acreage at from % to 20 per cent over
last season. This is largely due TO the
fact that the granaries are still filled
with corn and that there are but few
cattl: ~ the state, consequently no a
ket for corn. Again, the farmers be-
lieve that wheat Will bring a better
price this fall than it has for a long
time. An increased interest is shown
by farmers in creameries and many of
them are investing In stock in these en-
terprises.
