S0MEFARMS REMAIN
A Thousand Are Left From the
Rosebud Drawing

Special to The Globe
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Sept 29.-Any,
time our Uncle Samuel decides that he
can't raise enough money to operate his
billion-a-year system of government,
he knows how he can squeeze a few
more billions out of his speculative
nephews and nieces and make them
enjoy it, too. He wants to start a lot
terry.
When Uncle Sam, several months
ago, told his boys and girls that he
had 2,400 good farms for the lucky
ones, he aroused the greatest interest.
The Rosebud drawing was the greatest
thing of its kind ever seen. Because
there was an opportunity to gamble
100000 people, men and women, old
and young, from all the states and ter
ritories in the Union, except half a
dozen, joined in the rush. Over $780,
600 was spent for the privilege of reg
istering-s5 per captain order to be
in the drawing. This was the price OF
the tickets.
The drawing came off in due time
and 2,400 lucky ones drew the 2,400
first numbers and got the 2,40O farms.
The unlucky ones were drawn in or
the understanding that when one of the
elect decided that he would not take up
his prize the one next in order among
the losers should have his chance.
On the first drawing about 1,200 Of
the winners-almost half-failed to ap-
pear and take their farms. The others
were given their chances in order 10
take the lands unclaimed, and about
200 of them did SO. There are still
about 1000 farms unclaimed by any
of the 100000 who originally bought
tickets in the lottery. These will be
thrown open in due time to homestead
entry Just as any other. public lands are

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 29.-In
about ten days the bureau of statistics
of the agricultural department. will
make a preliminary estimate of the
spring wheat crop and the information
thus far received from agents of the
department throughout the country
leaves no doubt that some heavy reduc-
tions will be made in the earlier fore
casts of the government Not in years,
probably, has the department. been SO
far out of the way in its forecast of
the wheat crop of the country as it
was a month and two months ago.
Even after the reports of damage
from rust were received the depart
ment officials declared that the esti-
mate of damage had been exaggerated,
especially in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas. They now admit that they were
wide of the mark in believing that the
crop would come up to the figures of
last year.
The official reports from department
agents now indicate that the general
estimates made by James ]. Hill were
remarkably close. The corn crop was
also overestimated by the department,

BRIBERY is CHARGED
State Food Commissioners VIII
Be investigated

ST. LOUIS, NO., Sept. 2s.-As a re-
suit of charges of bribery preferred
against certain state food commits
sioners by T. N. Barrett, editor of a
New York trade journal, at today's
session of the international pure food
congress, a committee of investigation
was appointed and instructed to go
over the ground with Mr.. Barrett and
conduct thorough inquiry.
Mr.. Barrett asserted that he could
prove that certain state food commits
sioners accepted emoluments in return
for extending immunity from the pro-
visions of the pure food laws of the
different states.

TIES which have arisen in connection with the
various matters of preliminary character con-
nected with the convention a conclusion has
been reached TO have only brief session Of the
convention Tomorrow. The convention Will
meet al 10 o'clock. but il is probable that none
OF the more important committees win be able

lutions surely will not be and, in view of Sena-
tor Bailey's declination OF the permanent chair
