PLANT BURNS,
LOSS ABOUT $4,000

ALEXANDRIA, Va. May 31.-The
acid plant of the Alexandria Fertilizer
anu Chen Company. on the river
front. was partially destroyed by fire
last night. The building is of brick and
iron construction, more than 500 tret
in length and three stories high. Fire
men kept the flames away from the
tanks containing the acid. A brick fire
wall, separating the acid plant from
the storage plant, was largely respon-
sible for the saving of the building.
The plant is situated near the city
gas works and the tanks of the Stand
ard Oil Company.
No estimate OF the loss has yet been
made BY officials of the company. but
it will reach at least $4,000. covered

way" he replied. When Blank (the
manager) got sick, nobody else
about the office seemed to want to do
the extra work. But it had TO be

looked after it. After a time when it

PASSING OF WHEAT CROP

Why is it that there is so much con
Germ every year in the southern part of
South Dakota about the wheat crop?
There is no explanation except that it
is from force of habit formed years
ago when wheat was one of the main
stays of the farmer. In Dawson coun-
ty the wheat acreage is estimated at
less than a third of that planted to
corn. The average corn crop is worth
about three times as much to the
farmer, without the ens'lage, as is
wheat and with silos it's value is about
five times that of wheat. That means
that in this county the corn crop is
ten or fifteen times as important as
the wheat yield. Indeed most of the
farmers use wheat only for crop rota-
ton. And now many of them are sup
planting it with alfalfa, as alfalfa is
far more profitable and in addition en-
riches the soil while wheat does not

Presently there came along a young

Ralph untangled himself from the
