'Whiie each ofthesees mates is supposed

The average of the averages from the
different counties is 65 per cent, and it
will be noticed that the loves, percentages
are from the counties generally producing
the most wheat.
According to the government statistics
tile total number OF bushels of wheat pro-
duced in South Dakota has averaged dur
ing the last eight years 2S.2St, 56J. The
smallest total yield was in 1894, ii. 934. 000
