YIELD Notwithstanding the rust that
was prevalent a few weeks ago.
While the quality is diminished to
some extent the quantity is not so
bad as anticipated. G. |. Miltimore
came up from his farm II miles
southeast of town Thursday evening
and said That the wheat was turning
out from IA to 10 bushels per acre
and THAI it was grading No. ,. He
said he was offered % cents for it.
His oats were yielding 60 bushels per
care. and this is about the average
yield in that section.
John z. Carlson was up from his
Prosper township farm Friday and
said his wheat was turning out
about Is bushels per acre, but that
the grade was poor. Mr.. Carlson
said if It bad not been for the rust
his wheat would have averaged 30
bushels. Thursday nights rain he
said was fine for corn and that sec
ton of the country he said would
have a splendid crop now. Mr.. Carl
Sol said he looked for a very heavy
yield Of oats when the farmers COM
Denced to thresh them.

SOUTH DAKOTA STATE FAIR
Opens Monday, Sept. IL, at Yank-.
ton-Patronize Home Institu-
tions and Bulsd Them Tn.

The state fair is the most valuable
OF all our state institutions in direct
ing the fixing of the attention OF the
world upon the very important fact
that South Dakota is one of the
greatest food producing states in the
Union
You will admit that mankind,
first of all, must have food, there
fore, that country that pre- duces
mainly food material is far more val
liable and more essential to the well
fare of the people, than countries
that make manufacturing their lead
ing industry.
South Dakota being a food produce
ing state, its farmers should recog-
nize the high and important position
and through their state fair, by
generous displays of its products,
show to the people abroad the states
paramount excellence in all branches
of agriculture. The effect will be
to enhance the value OF land, but
that will only profit individuals; a
good display, such as can be made
with a little effort, will not only en-
nance land values, but will do much
more. 1t will enhance the reputa-
ton of out state in the minds of all
people and place upon the brow of
every South Dakotan a crown of
honor. TO be a South Dakotan is to
be a citizen OF the empire agricul-
tural state Of the American Onion.
No state is our superior, few are our
equals.
The legitimate mission of the state
fair is to build up and strengthen
the state by exhibiting to the world
the products OF our soil,-our grains,
our grasses. live stock, dairy pro-
ducts and it could properly include
the valuable minerals from our fam
GUS Black Hills.
Therefore, farmers and stockmen.
we urge you, for your own interests.
to make it your personal business to
attend and exhibit at this years
State fair. Yankton will give you
comfortable accommodations at Or
binary rates, you will meet and
mingle with farmers from all parts
of the state, and with many from
abroad, who have had their attention
directed to South Dakota by the re-
rent registration of l06, COO persons
for Rosebud lands, and you will re-
turn home amply repaid for your
visit, with renewed confidence in the
permanence Of South Dakota's re-
sources, and proud of your connection
with the farming fraternity of pos
sibly the best agricultural state in
the Union.

An Interesting Report Received From
the American Consul General
at Niuchwang.

An interesting account of events in the
treaty port of Niuchwang, following the
abandonment of that place by the Russians.
is contained in a report to the State De-
partment from the United States consul
general. H. B. Miller, under date of Au-
gust 49, which is not very remote, consider
ing the distance of Niuchwang from estab-
lished mail routes. -
Mr.. Miller states that the japanese mill
tary at that date were in complete control
sof the town and port. and were conducting
the administration on the same lines they
found when they took it over. Edward Gill
christ, an American. had been appointed by
Sir Robert Hart to succeed the Russian
commissioner of customs. The mines had
been cleared from the mouth of the river,
aids to navigation replaced and all inter-
ference to commerce removed. Military Op-
erations in the interior and along the river
would probably restrict trade until spring.
Crops and villages had been devastated by
the war and the robber bands were active.
The district covered by the Japanese
seemed to be quiet, and the harmony exist
ing in the government of the country be-
tween the Chinese and Japanese seemed to
indicate a peaceful occupation as far as
they were concerned. The crops In the Lao
valley bade fair to be ffrst-class, and a
in all of southern Manchuria and in north
ern China. This made for peace as far as
the Chinese were concerned.
Had to Close Hardin Mills.
An important fact is the poor condition of
the crops in the Sungari valley. where the
wheat is grown with which the -four mills
Of Hardin are supplied4 These mills were
idle, having used up all Of last years crop.
and this years crop Was 90 poor that they
cannot possibly secure grain enough to OPP
crate more than half time So the Russian
army must depend fqs[ its supplies upon a
amounts of provisions IL forage in the

Is very difficult. =.
The change from Ruisssiaann, to Japanese ad-
ministration in Niucfwafg occurred with
out much disorder. although the iooting Of
public places was severe. The Chinese po-
lice discarded their uniforms and became
the leaders of the hooters, and the consular
body was obliged to administer the city for
two days. The harmonious relations of the
United States consulate with both parties
was illustrated by the fact that on the day
of the arrival of the first Japanese Mr.
Miller gave dinner to the retiring Russian
administrator the Russian commissioner of
customs ana the manager of the Russo
Chinese Bank.
Thanked by Both Parties.
He did everything possible to make the
transfer peaceful, and received the thanks
Of both parties. Three days after the ad-
vent of the Japanese Mr.. Miller entertained
all of the Japanese officers and foreign on
Gals at dinner. Gen. Fukushima called
upon Mr.. Miller to tender the thanks of the
Japanese government for the aid extended
by him to the Japanese refugees and for
