the International Institute of Agricul-
ture at Rome, has been received at

production of the northern hemisphere

The area sown to wheat during the
autumn of 1911 in Belgium, France
Great Britain, Hungary, Roumania and
Japan is greater than that sown dur
ing the corresponding period of 1910

NUMBER WAS CHANGED.
Officers Get Wrong Hunch On Speed
ina Automobile.

Ii may surprise PatrlOman Living
ston that the owner of an automobile
for which he has been searching, be-
cause he thought the owner was eX-
ceeding the speed limit, has just
learned that he has been wanted and
believes he unintentionally played a
joke on the police. The automobile
came up Norfolk avenue at fast clip
and stopped in front of a business
building. The officer soon followed
and with much effort found number
on the machine which he recorded in
his book. For several hours the pa
tient officer waited around in con-
spicuous place for the owner to re-
appear. Suddenly the much-looked
for man came but the crank was used
quickly and before the officer could
reach him the car was gone. The
same car stopped at the same place
yesterday, but the number did not tai
ly with that in the officers book.
II found that old number on my
way from Stanton and put it on my
car for a joke. took it off when
came home and put my own number
on the car" says the owner.

FILINGS VIII Start April Is.

Gregory, S. d., March Especial
to The News Filings for homestead
lands in Mellette and Bennett coun-
ties will be received at White River,
commencing April Is. This informa-
ton was received in Gregory by a
telegram from Judge Witten.
1t is probable that the department
will conduct the filing by the same
methods as used in Trip county. On
April 10 certain number of the
lucky ones will be called. and the
work continued each day until 1000
names have been accounted for, and
then the work will again be taken up
in the fall and the remaining list of
1000 names completed In short
successful drawer the day and time
when his number will be called.
AS the time draws near for the fill
ing, locators are unusually active in
their efforts to convince the prospect
i've homesteader of the fact that they
are the most reliable locating firm in
the business. Many are up in the air
since the designation of White River
as the place for offering filings. Sew
eral locators expect to establish
three or four offices. 1t is estimated
that traffic over the Milwaukee and
Northwestern railroads will be about
equally divided and locators who ex-
pect to do an extensive business will
maintain offices at Gregory and Win
ner to catch the homeseekers who
come over the Northwestern, and at
Murdo for those who go by the way
of the Milwaukee route, while it will
be necessary for all to have offices at
White River.
