Laurel, S. d., July &c. l.. John
son, a successful farmer of Sully coun-
ty, has demonstrated that Sac county,
Iowa, has no monopoly on the popcorn
business. Mr.. Johnson still has on
hand 700 bushels of popcorn which he
produced last year, and this year he
has a IS acre field planted to it. Mr..
Johnson has found the soil here suited
to popcorn and 1T has beer a good
yielder, with it's myriad Of small ears.
Frequently he has harvested as much
as 35 or 40 bushels an acre. He fol-
lows the novel plan of cutting it with
a harvester and hen running it
through a %threshing machine, which he
says has always worked satisfactorily.
He uses 1t for feeding stock, especially
sheep, besides selling large quantities
In the city markets at three cents a
pound. At this rate he realizes $40 to
$50 an acre from the crop, which rec
ord n be equalled by any other
crop except potatoes.

PLAN COUNTY CONTROLLED
HAIL INSURANCE COMPANY

DeSmet. S. D., July ga disastrous
hail storm In Drakola township, this
county, has brought about an abitation
for q state controlled insurance COM
pany to protect farmers against loss
by hail. 1t is probable that the repre-
sentative from Kingsbury county will
present the plan outlined here To the
next session of the legislature. James
T~rousdale, G. N. Rostad, r. j. Ross and
Byron Herrick, who are among the
losers in the local hail storm, are urg-
ing h plan. They say that 1t should
not be difficult to fix a rate for in
surfing any farmer to the extent of so
per cent OF a full crop and that the
settlements could be made through the
county commissioners and the pre-
miums paid through the county treas
urers. The state suffers an annual loss
OF many hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars from hail storms and the only
safeguard open to farmers Is through
insurance.

that the South Dakota farmer NAV

winter wheat he placed in his bins
over 1900 bushels of first class wheat.
for which he will receive easily 81 per
bushel. Last ear he harvested 1000
bushels from the same tract. Last year
his gross receipts were $22.5o an acre
and this year they will be $32.50. IN
terest on the value Of the land. the
cost OF ~sultivation and the charge for
threshing combined is not more than
Sc an acre. AT this rate winter whea,
would pay for as good land as coulo
be bought in this vicinity III three

Philip, s.. D., July 29.-Contrary to

Tie will be shipped early this season.
Strange as it may seem, this is one
result of the excellent feed provided
for stock this year. There has been
SO much rain that the grass is still
green and luxurious. AS a, result the
cattle are unusually fat, but they are
also uncommonly soft. In this condi-
ton they will ship poorly and, not
w~tthstanding anxiety to sell at present
high prices, many stockmen will be
compelled to postpone shipping until
later In the season. While the number
of large ranches has been greatly re-
duced by the settlers, the homestead-
ers have gone into the business so
generally that it is believed there is
