S. D. FARMERS
STOP WORRYING

Aberdeen, s. D.. Sept. 4.-The farm
ers OF northern South Dakota have
stopped worrying about a possible
crop shortage; they are now worry
ing about possible shortage of live
stock to eat up the immense quanti-
ties OF corn and rough feed produced
On the farms OF this section.
The June drought seriously inter-
fered with the wheat yield. but ii was
a fine thing for corn, and the acreage
planted to corn was unusually large
this year. Then number or far
sighted farmers. when they saw the
drought had practically ruined the
Wheat crop, lost no time in blowing
up the ground and planting II TO
m!llet ard other quick growing crops,
Then came the copious rains through
out July and August, keeping the
ground In splendid condition, and as
consequence, experienced observers
say there is Ave times the usual
amount Of rough feed grown on the
farms of northern South Dakota. The
hay crop is an exceptionally heavy
one. The potato crop is good, and
the quality is the best ever known
in the state. Corn will make big
crop Rev. William Hickman of Bath
estimates his corn viii go fifty bush
els to the acre. On the Charles Runty
and Dunlavy farms, Ave miles east
Of Aberdeen, the estimated yield of
corn Is fifty-five bushels to the acre,
and the average yield is estimated at
between forty and sixty bushels. VIII
liam Mang, a farmer eight miles
northeast of Aberdeen, says his hay,
corn and potatoes are the best he
ever raised in South Dakota. while
his wheat averaged twelve bushels to
the acre. John Bunsness OF Gem town
ship, another experienced farmer.
threshed but 500 bushels OF wheat
from 100 acres, but his other crops
yielded well. John Kolbensvik Of the
southern part of Brown county. had
his wheat crop blown out this spring.
Then he planted a quarter section to
corn, and $50 acres to millet. He
declares his corn will average fifty
bushels to the acre, and that his mil
let will yield enough hay to feed 500
head Of cattle through the winter.
Many farmers are devoting their at
tention to broom corn. Broom corn
does well in dry seasons, recurring
less moisture than almost any other
crop. G. A. Swanson planted an acre
OF broom corn and raised enough, ac-
cording to a broom maker at Clare
mount, his home town. to make 500
brooms. He will realize from 500
to $3.50 from his acre crop.

BEST CROPS EVER RAISED.

Buffalo Express: The crop In
this vicinity Is the best this year
ever raised. Men who have liv-
ed here for more than twenty
five years say that the corn here
never was better, that wheat, oats,
barley, potatoes, etc. this year
are the most valuable ever rails
ed in this part OF the state, every
thing considered, and that the
farmers Of this section Of the state
will receive more for their labor
than ever before. A four section
field of wheat in this valley is re-
ported to average twenty eight
bushels to the acre. James SCOTS
wheat run twenty -four and one
half bushels and graded No. 2. e.
G. Marcks received twenty three
bushels Of wheat per acre, and bar
ley yields are running from twen-
ty-fivs to forty bushels. Some
samples of corn are as good as
Iowa ever expects, while potatoes
and garden vegetables are some
thing wonderful this year.
A Threshins Record.
w. ] Bairey set a record for
fast threshing for this season last
Monday afternoon when his rig
threshed out LASS bushels of oats
in three hours and tbiyty-f five min
utes. This run was made at the

TOLNA STORE
WAS ROBBED

Tolna, N. D., Sept. Awhile Simon
Myhre was cutting hay near the reser-
voir, the mower was stopped by coat
hanger catching In the sickle. The
banker looked so new that Simon be-
came suspicious and on looking around
In the grass he found more of the same
kind. When he brought them in they
were quickly identified as having come
from the Hanson Dahlberg store. On
examination the stock was found to be
short Ave suits. This was the first in
timation that the store had been rob-
bed. The locks have been all right
every morning and the thieves were
careful to arrange things so that the
absence OF the goods would not be no
ticed For instance, when the suits
were taken those remaining on the rack
were moved along to I'LL up vacancies.
Further search revealed that at least
one box of cigars and some shoes are
gone but the extent Of the loss it is
impossible to tell 70 a certainty.
Saturday night when Mr.. jacobson,
the clerk, closed the store one man
appeared from the dark on each side
OF the store and stood at his elbows as
he was locking the door. His wife be-
ing with him, was preceding him q few
steps. One of the men brushed her
arm as he stepped onto the walk and
she moved over quickly to the front
of the telephone Office. Deac thinks
that her presence and the possibility OF
her giving the alarm was the only thing
that saved him from a holdup. As he
turned from locking the door the men
ran across the street and disappeared
between the buildings. Deac notified
Marshal Schmid and he made q thor
ough search for the men but could find
no trace either OF them or anything
wrong, but ii ID suspected that they re-
turned later and picked the lock. So
far az could be learned they did not
tamper with the cash register or safe.
This is the second time the same
store has been robbed. the other time
being three years ago. Then the thieves
stole tools from the section house. forc-
cd the rear door. blew the safe and
secured about fifteen dollars. AS In
that case 80 this time the robbers made
their getaway clean and there seems
no chance OF their being caught.

ruin policy in the Republican party.
Republicans are now apOstrophizing
the president whereas a year ago they
were assailing him. Candidates for
office are declaring for his renomina-
ton and reelection because they real
ize that it is becoming a sine qua non
to political preference. Frothy ex-
cOriatioA has been superSeded4 by well
meant appreciation of Taft's worth, his
stability, his accomplishments, and MS
sane and rational progressiveness.
In 1909 and 1910 there was such an
onrush Of Insurgency in this state as
threatened to sweep the Republican
party to destruction, just as 70 years
ego the PopuliStic wave 1ngul1ed the
state. Last year in the primary cam
paign a prominent "insurgent' orator,
then, as now. member Of congress
boldly proclaimed from the stump that
''the interests were in control of the
federal government at Washington and
specified the senate, the house, and the
White House. A generation ago Popu-
lism fattened upon the great red ORA
gon of Wall street," this time the in
terests' furnished the daily and nour-
ishing menu for insurgency But the
dish has lost its palatability. It seems
to have created an epidemic of politt-
cal indigestion. But an efficaciOus anti
dote was found, and it was simply
nothing more than sober reflection.
Farmers Have Been Thinking.
The Kansas farmers and business
men have been doing some hard think
ing on political subjects the past year.
The PEOPLE of this state, irrespective of
occupation, are great readers. Lately
they have been perusing other literature
than diatribes against the interests
and indictments falsely joining the ma
tional administration up to them. They
are getting the right focus upon what
has been happening in Washington and
are ready to acknowledge that their
minds had been working obliquely. Now
Taft is coming into his own, and prac-
tically everywhere the prediction is

WALL STREET IS OREARY.
Industrial Stocks Drifted Steadily
Downward All the Week.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE week in
the stock market was replete with ex-
citement and the reactionary move-
ment continued with little Interrupt
ton. The list again yielded until
losses ran as far as II points in some
of the standard shares.
The government crop report was one
of the many pretexts utilized to de-
press prices, and belated announce
ment of the retirement of H. c. Frick
from Union Pacific and allied boards
was accepted as partly explaining the
weakness of the Harrimans. Politics,
disappointment over existing industrial
and economic conditions and extreme
probability of serious labor troubles on
some of the leading transportation sys-
TENS were among the many adverse
factors. United States Steel made a
fairly good report for July, but in
creased busin ess in this line Is being
done at the expense of prices
Conditions in textile trade remain
discouraging and the general CONNER
cial situation denotes little improve

demands and commercial paper rates

made that he will be able to count
upon the support of the Kansas dele
CATION at the next national convention.
Although Senator BristcW, in his Sa-
lima newspaper, has been booming Sem
ator LaFollette of Wisconsin for the
presidential nomination and evidently
proposes to make a fight for delegates
for his colleague. the average Repub
lican politician, particularly those who
come to the state capital, doubts that
he will be able to rally many of his
adherentS under an anti-Taft banner.
Bristow's attitude is deprecated by
many of his friends, who think he is
making a political mistake In thus
breaking away from the national ad-
m1nistratfon. The prepOuderance of
sentiment as gathered for The Post
shows q tremendous revolution of SEN
timent toward President Taft which
foreshadows the melting away of any
serious opposition to the instruction of
delegates in all the congressional dis
tricts for him.
Radicals Have Changed.
Kansas Republican radicals, as
rule, are no longer willing to advocate
insurgency to the point where it
would disrupt the party t. such an ex-
tent as to insure its absolut defeat at
the next national elections Senator
BristoW is interested in several news
papers in this state. Associated with
him in the control of these properties
is Henry J. Allen of the Wichita Daily
Beacon. Last year at a Kansas Day
banquet in New York, Mr.. Allen de-
clared that the president could not car
ry a township. in his state. This is
what he says now:
st believe that President Taft is in
somewhat better condition, so far as
the public sentiment of this locality
is concerned, than he wa few
months ago. While the presidents
reciprocity treaty is not popular here,
there is a feeling, not traceable to any
direct cause that the president him
self is more popular thsn he was 1
think much of this is dae 20 the fact
that the newspapers have ceased their
criticism and are giving less space to
the activities of the insurgent element
in the party. The approach of a ma
tional election has brought about a de-
sire for political peace. All the mem
bers of the party. practically, expect
Mr.. Taft to be the nominee of the
