WINTER WHEAT
BIG SUCCESS
Threshing Returns Show Largest
Yield From Winter Crop

Sioux Fails Argus-Leader.- For
fifteen years, the Argus-Leader has
been dinging away at the winter
wheat proposition. Manv years ago,
this editor became satisfied, after
careful investigation, that winter
wheat was a feasible crop for this
part of South Dakota, and that a
wheat crop which could be cut early
in July. thus escaping the danger
ously hot weather of the middle of
July, would bring the farmer better
returns than could be expected from
spring wheat.
1t was not until six or seven years
ago, however, that any definite move
ment was made towards testing the
winter wheat issue in South Dakota.
Since then, winter wheat has been
making good and last fall a rather
large acreage of it was sown in this
part of the state. The returns are
now coming in, and they prove the
case so completely that the winter
wheat crop for this section may be
set down as beyond the experiment
al stage. No doubt a very large
acreage of it will be sown this fall.
P. P. Peck of this city threshed
out a 2O-acre tract of winter wheat
which yielded 90 bushels to the acre
and which sold for 873 cents per
bushel. This was a return of $35
per acre. We thought that to be
the record until the news came from
Hudson. in Lincoln county. that John
johnson had threshed 80 acres of
winter wheat which yielded so BUSH
els to the acre, or a return Of S43.75
per acre. In the same county, Ole
Odlund threshed out 344 bushels to
the acre from a 60-acre field, and
Emery Buchanan came smiling over
the wire with a yield Of 38 bushels
to the acre.
This is merely the advance guard.
Another week will bring many more
reports, but we do not look for any
better ones. Last fall was a good
one for the sowing of wheat. This
fall promises to be just as good for
there was much rain in July and
there will likely be plenty in August.
Winter wheat in South Dakota has
finally won its spurs. and as a staple
crop has undoubtedly come to stay.

Number of Grain Stacks

A merchant of Miller very cleverly
got even with a strident voiced trav-
cling man the other day. The local
merchant stepped on a train to go to
Rec Heights. and listened to the
aforesaid travelling man knock this
locality as long as he could stand it.
One remark was that the t. m. Jump
ed from Huron to Rapid City because
there were no crops raised here
just a cattle country. The local
merchant told him he was misinform-
ed. and stated that he could show
the t. m. 400 stacks on either side of
the track between Miller and Rec
Heights. OF course the travelling
man took him for a couple of simoi-
cons, and selected the south side be-
cause as the track aears Rec Heights
the Rec Hills come up close and cuts
out many farm views. But the
loyal merchant said all right. and let
it go at that. They both counted,
and the result was 401 stacks in sight.
The travelling man handed over his
cash. and acknowledged that he was
mistaken.
This is a common error, however.
Every whine and pessimistic knock
travels on high speed, while the good
things are just taken as a matter of
course. Outside Of a very few farms

sands of grain stacks. She also has

Hard Coal Shortage

Minneapolis, Aug. 12.-Unless
more hard coal is produced between
now and the coming on of cold
weather than any coal trade man be-
lieves possible. and more shiploads
come into Duluth, Milwaukee. and
Chicago than ever before. there is
going to be a great scarcity of hard
coal this winter over the northwest.
A famine is not only a possibility
but with the coming of mid-August
with only $4,000 tons Of anthracite
on the big Duluth docks. where al
the beginning of winter 1000, 00C
tons or more is usually available for
interior distribution. local men see q
condition that means scarcity even
before the big demand Of winter is
felt.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S
WHEAT CROP
Said To Be The Largest For Many
Years

Sioux Falls Press:-"There now is
not the slightest doubt that South
Dakota has this season raised the
greatest small grain crop for many
years. In limited areas the hot
weather of the early part of July
injured small grain to such an extent
that it could not make satisfactory
recovery but in the state at large the
crop is the heaviest produced for
years. In some localities where the
stalks of the grain were stunted by
the hot weather of July the farmers
were gratifed to find that the sub.
sequent rains and cool weather had
caused the heads to fll well. and the
result is that many of these fields OF
stunted grain will yield as well as
fields in more favored sections of the
state
The local harvest IN Hand county
is about finished. and the small grair
is now practically safe in stack anC
shock. AS before stated it is very
spotted but in the county as a whole
it is estimated to be an aver age
crop. The actual yield cannot be
known, however, until the grain
goes through the sweat. and the
threshers start to work.
Returns from neighboring counties
on the east. where threshing is ir
progress, are most gratifying

ROOSEVELT
AND HIS PARTY
independent Opinion Of A Taft
Paper

The Minneapolis Journal, a Taft
paper, has this to say of the new
Progressive party:
1.-THE Third Party with Roosevelt
as its candidate being an assured
fact. the issues are fairly well join
ed, but the result of the campaign
is not easy to predict.
The Third Party has already ac-
complished a great deal. 1t has OBJ
tanned an emblem in the Bull Moose.
a candidate in Colonel Roosevelt. and
a rallying cry in social justice. Col
onel Roosevelt has furnished them
all. Out of his superintendent spirits
came the Bull Moose incident. The
quick political sense of Roosevelt
seized upon the animal for service.
1t steps. ready made, alongside the
Elephant and. the Donkey. which
have been long evolving. The can
didate is well known.
The battle cry of social justice is q
taking war cry in an age famihariz.
ed with what Lloyd George has beer
able to do for the under dog in the
face of the tradition that nothing
can be done but pity him and hope
for the slow heaving centuries tt
throw him out on top, somehow.
Social justice covers a multitude
of activities, some good, some bad
some merely p~uzzling. 1t ranges al
the way from reducing the tariff t.
roping the bad trusts and feeding
the good ones, from old-age pension,
to conservation. Waving such
banner Colonel Roosevelt al appea
to every class in the community.
1t is true Colonel Roosevelt's con
fession of faith contains matter t,
divide his TO flowers as we'll as hi
opponents. In bringing forward
again the recall of judicial decisions
and extending it to the Fedora
Courts he throws a fire brand in hi
own camp. This action a be ex
planned only on the theory tina
Roosevelt is looking farther aheat
than 1912, and that he has convincet
himself that his present position a
to the courts will be deemed moder
ate within a few years.
A plain view of the advantage
and disadvantages of the new Part,
makes evident that it will get a re
spectacle vote. Justice to it com
pels one to say that its presence il
the field has already quickened tn,
old Parties to a clearer humanity
Thew are no longer so cocky abou
the power of organization to keel
the people in line. In fact. they ar,
