POACHERS AFIELD
BEFORE CAME BIRDS
ARE READY TO PICK

Avon, s. D., Aug. 21.-Interest in
South Dakota prairie chicken shooting
is keen. AS usual, there has been pre-
maturity. Bird butchers nave been
afieid, returning with the mangled car
casses of baby trophies.
A well directed charge from a 10 or
IL bore gun will so riddle a pin-feather-
ing chick that it is scarcely fit for the
table.
Often farmers sons are the worst
lawbreakers. They have advance point
ers on coveys and they aim to be just
q little ahead Of the town brothers.
This (Bon Eomme) and Charles Mix
counties have long been famous prairie
hen paradises. Two hundred years ago
the reds grew maize here and with
bows and arrows took what birds they
wished for their repasts, but no more.
investigation reveals that the bird
outlook is fairly good this season. and
IL the fledgling slaughterers could be
picked off the map there YOU be
some nice heavy hampers for gentle
men of the dog and gun.
The YanktoE Indians obey the game
laws as well if not better than the
whites.

SCIENTISTS STUDY
MIRACLE" WHEAT
Department Of Agriculture De-
tails Expert to Look Into
the Idaho Wonder.

Washington. Aug. 2~2.-Thousands Of
inquiries are being received by the de-
partmcnt OF agriculture regarding the
new variety OF wheat raised By Abra-
ham Adams. OF Julietta, Id., which
is alleged TO produce as high as 222
bushels per acre.
The Saturday evening Post OF last
week exploited this wheat and since
then the department Of agriculture has
had no peace. In order TO ascertain
the facts, Direcror French OF the Idaho
experiment station at Moscow has been
ordered to visit the Adams farm aad
see the wheat for himself.
The wheat In question has a conf
posite head, that is. each head is made
up OF a cluster OF ordinary heads, and
rs or d white, soft variety. Agricultural
experts are skcptical about II and say
that Ii Is q strain OF miracle wheat,
or seven headed wheat. that has long
been grown in different parts of the
mountain regions. They have analysed
1t and found 1t low In proteids. They
also doubt whether It Is good milling
wheat, and think farmers should so
slow about taking Ii up until the de-
partment has investigated. Adams Is
selling II for so a bushei.

SHOOTS HERSELF

Armour, S. d., Aug. 21.--Self murder
at the tender age OF 10 years. is the
report which comes from the farm Of
John Stoltz, who lives a few miles
west of Armour. A little daughter of
that age committed suicide yesterday
by deliberately shooting herself with
a shot gun.
There was no known cause for the
shocking deed, which was evidently
