Chamberlain. Nov. 1t.-Our corn
crop in this locality has nearly all
been harvested with q good quality
which will all grade No. 2, with an
average yield of is to 90 Bushels per
acre. The stockmen are buying up
the surplus at go to 65 cents per
bushel. Hay is plentiful and stock
never was in better conditi IN to 60
into winter than it is at this time.
Stock men are all stocked we'll with
horses, cattle and hogs, with a scar
city of sheep. Mole hogs have been
shipped out of this county the past
year than any year in its history while
the shipments of cattle and horses are
up around the high mark. By those
who know it is said that stockmen
have cleaned up more profits the past
year than any year ever known.
The partial failure of small grain
the past three years will cut down the
acreage for small grain next season,
which will be added to that to be
planted to corn, which has never failed
us. Public sales of stock cattle have
been numerous this fall. Cows sold
from $50 to ss5, spring calves from
S25 to $37. so with yearlings $40 to
$50.
