sore distress. He was on his way to Dubuque,

He had searched everywhere for it, aided by the
tranmen. They were unable to find it, how

Secretary Robinson's Fourth Annual
Review of the Progress of the State
Of South Dakota Some Interesting
Crop Enthusiastically Crop Greatly
Underestimated Last Year-Esti-
mated Population of the State.
Special to The Journal.


Aberdeen S. D., Dec. 17.-Secretary Doane'
Robinson of the South Dakota State Historical
society has just issued his fourth annual review
of the progress of the state for 1904
Secretary Robinson's review of the crops Tor
1904 is of especial value. The earlier estimate
of the wheat yield at "a, 070,00O, or IN bushels
to the acre, with total valuation of $50. 1856 900,
is reaffrmed, being the poorest crop and the
smallest return received for ten years The
durum (NIacaroni) did not suffer so much from
the rust us the standard variety, and the yield
was exceptionally good, altho no estimate Of the
total yield is given. ~ Nm F.. go
The acreage Of corn is given at 2,1S5, 900 acres,
the yield being fair and the quality good. =
Some startling revelations concerning the
actual production of crops in South Da-
| kota are made in the more thoro research made
! by Mr.. Robinson this year. For instance, the
total barley crop last year was placed at II, 1872:
1000 bushels, but the railroads in response to a
! request to give their, total shipments Of that
cereal to outside markets, placed 1t at 160O0-
/ 900. Considering the fact that a large proper
! ton of the barley raised in the state is con-
sumed at home. it Is evident previous estimates
Of the barley crop have been greatly underesti-
mated. The same applies to oats and other
coarse grains. .
| The following summary Of the total products
of the farms of the state and the amounts re-
!ceived for them is given in the review as fol-

The >crease in the annual production of
wealth in the state compared with last year,
as shown by tile above table. is attributed by
the secretary to the Vaccinations Of the beef
trust which have ''almost destroyed the flour
fishing live stock industry in South Dakota and
neighborng states,' and to the ravages of rust
in the wheat crop. The years production Of mill
eral wealth was also reduced considerably by
! floods in the spring, which prevented the opera
ton of the Black Hills mines for some time.
Placing the estimated population of the state
at 100000 Mr.. Robinsons estimate Of the total
production of wealth gives per capita pro-
ducton of $253.3O, and "still leaves South Da-
kota at the head of the list of all the states
in the per capita value of agricultural produc
