The republican ticket at the head
of our columns is imposed of good
honest and able men and is worthy
of the hearty support of every true
republican. Herein Kingsbury coun-
ty the opposition seem to be center

of sheriff. The democratic nominee
has a perfect right to get as many
votes as possible, but there is no
good reason why he should expect to
the endorsement of a single
republican. Henry HIM, the repub-
lican candidate, is an old resident of
the county, has always been a hard
worker for the party which has this
year bonored him by a nomination.
and is in every respect worthy of the
trust which he seeks.
According to the state census hu-
reau, the wheat yield of South Dakota
for the the current year was 39,3S4,2 74
bushels, not deducting that lost in the
shock. The estimate is about 10000
600 bushels under hal of the market
experts who are supposed to favor
large yields in the interest of low
prices. Getting the wheat yield in ad-
of its sale is largely guess work,
although the estimates are made on
the most intelligent basis possible.
Brown county is given the greatest
acreage and Sphinx county the largest
yield. Both are extremely large coun
ties and are devoted most exclusive
ly to wheat growth. Notwithstanding
the opening of thousands ofnew farms
the acreage of wheat was this year
l29,96l less than last year.
