LITTLE GIRL AGiTATES
RATTLESNAkE IN OVEN

Beividere. S. D.,Oct. l0-Ethei
Thode, aged 2, whose parents
reside or a ranch on White riv-
er, near here, had an interesting
adventure with a rattlesnake.
The little girl was playing in the
screened porch of her home. On
the porch was standing an old
gasoline oven, the door of which
was buttoned shut. The child
had hammered and pounded the
oven until a peculiar noise on
the inside of the oven attracted
the attention of Mrs. Thode, who
was working in a room just off
the porch. The mother went to
the oven and opened it to see
what made the unusual noise.
Her surprise was great when
she discovered a large rattle
snake inside the oven. The rat
tier vas in an Infatuated condi-
ton, due to the pounding Of the
child on the oven, and was
ready for battle the instant the
door was opened. Mrs. Thode
jumped back in time to escape
being struck by the fangs of the
reptile, which finally was driven
from its refuge and killed.

An analysis OF the foregoing vii! in
dicate that the Sioux and lower Jim
valleys have the best CROP in several
years, while the upper Jim and the
upper Missouri regions are far below
the average for the past five ears
Taking Brown county as an illustra-
ton, for i've years preceding this her
wheat crop "a averaged 1856, 900 bush
els as against only 1,645, 900 this year,
and the same relative Discrepancy APP
pears In the big wheat counties of
Sphinx, Marshall, Edmunds, Mcpherson
and Faux. On the other hand the
southeastern counties are away above
their average. The average per acre is
about 12B bushels this year and for
five years it has been a tcifle fabove
15 bushels.
A great deal Of winter wheat has
been grown in the southern counties
and the yield is splendid, some fields
going as high as SO bushels per acre.
OF oats we have grown 41,000, 00G
bushels, against A, 200, 900 in 1909, but
last year was a very poor oats year.
OF barley we have 1858, 900, about L.
0OO, 600 less than a yeaT ago, when only
a light crop was grown. Thu
acreage this year is reduced because
of the poor crop last year which dis
couraged farmers from sowing as freei
ly as usual. The quality of all crops
this year is superb.
The cash value of these three crops
for the respective years, based on prices
current in South Dakota, as of October
/ in each year, is as follows:
