ROAD AS A FEEDER.
Charter Has Been Taken Out for the
Weatherford Line

Taloga, Q. T., Jan. 1l.-A railroad from
Weatherford northwest has been talked of
since the Choctaw built west from Ell
Keno. That road had under contempla-
ton the building of such road as a
feeder, and ia they had not sold out to the
Rock Island no doubt it would have ma
terialized long ago. A few weeks ago a
charter was taken out for a road to be
built along this same contemplated line,
from Weatherford TO connect with the
Santa Fe at or near Woodward. The peo-
pie taking out the charter are to large
extent the same people who built the
Choctaw and Choctaws Northern; which
is evidence that the road will be built.
They have established themselves as rail-
road builders.

Doane Robinson, secretary of the
South Dakota State Historical
society, has just issued his estimate
of the wheat crop of South Dakota
for 1904. The estimate differs some
what from both the government re-
port and the estimates of III. v.
Jones, the Minneapolis crop expert
1t has been Mr.. Robinson's custom
for several years past to issue crop
estimate in connection with his an
nual resume of the social, political
and commercial progress of the state,
and those estimates have proven re-
markably accutate.
Mr. Robinson this year estimates
the acreage sown to wheat last
spring at 3,305,0 acres, $4,000 Of
which are not harvested, owing to
the poor crop. The average yield is
seven and one-fourth bushels, MAX
ing the total of the present crop a.
070,000, being the lightest wheat
crop produced in the state since
1894. The estimate was not reached
until after careful research during
which MIR. Robinson not only visited
all parts of the state and consulted
grain men and farmers extensively,
but he also personally inspected a
large number of representative fields.
The quality of the grain, too, is poor
and the average selling price is 66
cents per bushel, the crop yielding
the producers but Sl5,884, 400, as
against SIC, O,4229O0 received for last
years crop.
Each railroad operating in the
state has reported the actual ship
ments of wheat for the crop OF 1908,
showing that 40,OsS, 900 bushels were
shipped from the state to the
markets. Allowing one bushel per
acre for seed and four and one half
bushels per capita for -four consum-
ed at home and the total crop last
year was 45 .266,000 bushels, Fl. ".
Jones' estimate on the same crop
was but 30,600,00 bushels, while the
government estimate was 1851 900
bushels.
