ARGUES WITH FISTS.
Peter Dinger UphoIds tho Honor OF

A discussion as to the respective
merits of South Dakota and Minnesota
as agricultural states has resulted in
Peter Dinger, a resident of Roberts
county, being bound over for appear

crit court in that county to answer to
a serious charge.
Several men participated in the dis

the two states. The controversy final.

failed to express the thoughts of the
champions of the two states, and they
decided to settle the dispute by a re.
sort to physical force.
During the rough-and-tumble fight
which ensued Dinger pummeled an
other of the participants to such an
extent that he vas arrested on the
charge of assault with intent to do

PUTS WHEAT CROP AT 60, ooo, 900.
Col. John n. King Estimates Wheat
Crop at That Figure.

So'' Jonh n. Nln9 estimates wheat
Crop at That Figure.
Col. John H. King of Huron has just
returned from a trip to the extreme
Aorthern part Of the county, including
the country around Lake Byron.
Speaking of the crops, he said to
the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: "Ev-
erything shows an enormous crop Of
all kinds. Wheat indicates a yield Of
from Is to Is bushels to the acre. Some
threshing of barley and rye indicates
that there will be a yield of from 40
to 60 bushels to the acre. Oats is
good; speltz very fine; fax Is doing
well. The entire country west to
Pierre shows by far the largest and
best crop of corn and small grain ever
raised. Corn is fully ten days earlier
than at this time last year. Many Of
the fields are tasseled out and the ears
are forming nicely, with once and a
while a forward piece having a few
roasting ears. The stand is good. The
ground is moist and all conditions ex-
tremely favorable for a bumper crop
of all kinds. Harvest will be pretty
well completed this week.
My estimate of the wheat crop in
South Dakota this year, gathered from
the best sources l can obtain, is fully
60, 900 900 bushels.
THE crop is the largest and finest
ever raised clear through to the river"

WISCONSIN SHEEP RANCHES.
Worthless Land May Yet Be Valuable
as Pasture.

Grand Rapids, Wis, Aug. George
Taylor arrived yesterday morning
from Wyoming with 1000 merino
sheep which he will place on a 3,400-
acre tract of land which he recently
purchased near this city. Taylor fig.
ures that the stock could be shipped
here about as cheaply as to Chicago,
and, after being fattened, it would
only be a short distance to market.
". F. Hogg & Co. of Chicago have also
purchased 1000 acres in the town of
Saratoga, which they are preparing to
convert into a sheep ranch. If the ex-
pertinent proves a success Saratoga
will be transformed into a mammoth
sheep ranch and many thousands Of
acres of what was once called worth
less lands will thus be utilized.

HARVEST Is GENERAL.

Is Well Advanced IN the southeastern
Counties of the State.
The following is the weekly crop re-
port of the South Dakota section Of the
government weather bureau:
The weather during the week aver
aged cool with cool nights. There
we're rains generally, principally in the
early and late parts of the week,
which were beneficial, except in some
southeastern counties, where excessive
moisture was ~unfavorable or ripe un.
cut grain. and retarded cutting; else
where harvest was as a rule bat slight
ly retarded.
The cool weather was favorable for
small grains, especially for the hllfng
of the late sown, but there Is consid-
cradle complaint of wheat heads being
somewhat blighted and of some local
injury by the Hessian fly In the Sioux
river valley, and of smut In some
northern counties.
Wheat harvest is becoming general,
and it Is we'll advanced in some south
eastern counties. The general out
look is not as good as it was two
weeks ago. but fair to good yields are
anticipated.
RIVE harvest is finished and much OF
the crop is in stack. Some threshing
has been done.
Barley harvest is nearing omp
tion, but there is increased report OF
discoloration of the berry by rains III
the southeastern counties; as a rule,
good yields are expected.
Dat harvest is far advanced and ON
the whole good yields are expected
though there was some damage py

The yield Of oats will not average far
from fifty bushels per acre, barley will
run from thirty-five to fOrty-fye bush,

bushels.
Near CavOur a field Of oats was
threshed and showed an average yield
OF slXty-five bushels per acre. It Is
believed other fields in that locality
Will run as high as seventy-fve and
eighty bushels to the arce. Barley in
the same locality threshed out fifty-fiye
bushels per acre.
Farmers living in the vicinity of
Beresford estimate that wheat in that
section will average not more than
eight bushels per acre, but that barley
and oats will be a bumper yield. Corn
Is the principal crop in that locality,
and will be an immense crop if frosts
hold off as late as usual.
In the region around Mitchell many
fields of wheat will yield as high as
thirty bushels to the acre or better.
None of the wheat is expected to yield
less than eighteen bushels.
Many fields Of oats in Gregory coun.
ty are expected to yield as high as 100
bushels per acre, while wheat, it is
estimated, will yield twenty-five bush.
els to the acre. In some wheat fields
around Scotland the wheat heads are
we'll filled, while in others the heads
appear to have been blighted from too
much rain, followed by hot weather.
Still, it is believed the yield will COM
pare very favorably with that Of for
mer seasons.
1t is expected that many fields Of
oats in Hanson county will yield fully
ninety bushels per acre. In many To-
calities barley is being threshed from
the shock.
Corn is making a really wonderful
growth and will be a large crop
throughout the state unless early and
killing frosts are experienced. A month
or so ago it was freely predicted that
the corn crop, because of the late
spring and u~nfarvorable conditions
during the early portion of the growing
season, would not be far enough along
to escape serious injury by frosts, but
prospects were never more favorable
than now for an immense yield
