A YEARS PRODUCTION

Huron H%uronite: By the agriculture
department. through the weather blu.
reau, it is announced, that on the first
of September the department estimate
of the production of corn in South Da.
kota was IS. 600, 600 bushels. The totaI
production in the United States under
the September estimate is 2, 500, OOO, OOC
bushels.
The corn yield in South Dakota fol
1914 is about 5000, 600 bushels il excess
of the yield of 1913, which is a consid.
cradle increase from one year to an
other, showing that the farmers are
giving more and more attention to the
great coming staple of the state which
will go to the market in the form OF
beat and pork.
The department estimate gives South
Dakota 35, O0O, 1000 bushels of wheat,
al, 100000 bushels of oats. 20, 2OO, OOC
bushels of barley, $50, 900 bushels OF
rye, 1850, 600 bushels of potatoes, g..
$50, 900 bushels of flax and 1921, 900 tons
of hay.
All the. farm products of the state
will enjoy enhanced prices if the Euro
pean war continues and the peace basis
price is large enough to give the farm
ers good returns for their summers
labor.

It 10 considered in Washington by
diplomats there assembled that the
agreement signed by England. France
and Russia to make no peace with
Germany and Austria until all three
countries consent to peace, places the
end OF the European war some dis-
lance In the future. 1t probably
means that hundreds of thousands
will be slaughtered and that nations
will be financially crippled. The
United States will thrive on disaster
faraway, but the price is too great
for cupidity to consider. The United
States will hope that the sanity Of
Europe may be restored in time to
isAyesit from destruction.

A A OF PRAYER

Washington, Sept. 8.-President
Wilson today signed a proclamation
calling on the people of the United
States to pray for peace in Europe,
The presidents proclamation sets aside
Sunday, October a, as a day of prayer.
President Wilson'S proclamation is as
follows:
"By the President of the United
States of America.
"a proclamation.
Whereas, the great nations of the
world have taken up arms against one
another and war nov draws millions of
men into battle, whom the councils of
statesmen have not been able to save
from the terrible sacrifice;
"And, whereas, in all things it is
our privilege and duty to seek counsel
and succor of Almighty God, humbling
ourselves before him, confessing our
weakness and our lack of any wisdom
equal to these things;
"And, whereas, it is the especial
wish and longing of the people of the
United States in prayer and council
and all friendliness to serve the cause
of peace;
Therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do designate Sunday, the 4th
day of October next, a day of prayer
and supplication, and do request all
G%od-fearing persons to repair on that
day to their places of worship, there to
unite their petitions to Almighty God
that, oyerrul:ng the counsel of men,
setting straight the things they cannot
govern nor alter, taking pity on the
nations now in the throes OF conflict, in
His mercy and goodness showing a way
where men could see none. He vouch-
safe His children healing peace again,
and restore once more that concord
among men and nations without which
there can neither happiness nor true
friendship nor any wholesome fruit of
toll or thought in the world; praying
also in this end that He forgive us our
sins, our Ignorance of His holy will,
our wilfulness and many errors and
lead us in the paths of obedience to
places of vision and to thoughts and
counsels that purge and make wise.
''In witness whereof, 1 have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington,
this 9Th day of September, in the year
of our Lord, 1914, and of the indepond-
ence of the United States of America,
the 10th.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON.
