WHEAT YIELDS WILL AVERAGE
BETTER THAN WAS EXPECTED

y. -, 406 S.-NN llOGS
crop conditions. as the thresher re-
turns begin to come in in South Da-
kota, can be better judged now than
was possible when farming experts and
farmers themselves were guessing as
to the amount of possible damage from
ditions vary, according to local con-
dltlons and farming methods. How
ever, the yields reported average nor
NAL or better. The best wheat yield
reported sc far was from a farm near
Warner in The southern part of Brown
county, where whea went rs bushels
to the acre, graded No. 1 northern and
weighed 81 pounds to the bushel.
Gottleib Reber, neal Bath, east of ABB
erdeen, threshed 72 acres that yielded
$50 bushels, or owe IL bushels to the
acre. part of which graded No. 1 and
the rest No. 2 northern. Crop experts
who Travelled through Day county esti-
mate a damage by hot winds and rust
of 20 per cent. The estimate for Day
county on July l was II bushels to the
acre. If he reported damage holds
out, the average yield Will be in the
neighborhood of Is to Ia bushels per
acre.
Threshing returns in the vicinity OF
Mellette show yields of from II to 81
bushels to the acre.
David Williams, of Duluth. formerly
of Webster, while on a visit to his
Day county holdings. expressed him.
self as convinced the damage from
black rust on his farm and others in
that section of the state was very
slight.
Near Bridgewater. S.. D.. thresher
yields are running from eight to Is
bushels for wheat and oats from 80
to 40 bushels. Blue stem wheat is dam
aged by black rust and the grain is Of
inferior quality. At Herreid, wheat is
running from 10 to IL bushels.
In the vicinity of Harold, Frank
Noecker. living northwest of that town.
states that wheat in that section is
going from 20 to % bushels to the acre.
Corn needed rain. but that condition
was later relieved.
At Spencer wheat is running poor,
yield of from six to 10 bushels to the
acre being reported. This is in the
south central part Of the state. Oats
in that section are averaging from 40
to so bushels.
West of the river in Corson, lie
bach and Dewey counties, wheat is
reported in excellent shape, the yields
running as high as 20 bushels to the
acre. This section of the state is the
only one reporting a shortage of
help, the Aberdeen Commercial club
having received a call for 100 hands
from Timber Lake. 1t is probable the
demand has been met now, however,
as townspeople shut down their BUSH
ness to help the farmers harvest dur
ing the rush.
At Mcintosh. in Corson county, a
probable damage Of Is per cent is re-
ported, but this leaves a good crop.
Rye near Morristown went 81 bushels.
]. r. Mcdonald, of near Morristown.
reports IS bushels Of oats to the acre
and Adolph Idso rep rts a yield of 80
bushels to the acre. Splendid hay
crops are reported In all sections Of

SOUTH DAKOTA WILL
Be ADVERTISED AT
SAN FRANCISCO FAIR
Plan Under Way to Show the
Advantages Of the State
By the Movies.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Aug. S.-A unique
method of raising funds for the MAIN
tenance of the South Dakota building
at h Panama-Pacific exposition has
been adopted by the South Dakota
commission. Contracts were closed
today for the production of a South
Dakota feature moving picture film,
showing all the business, commercial
and industrial activities of the state.
This film will be shown at the eX-
position each day of the nine months
exposition, and will also be shown in
the principal cities of the United
States as an educational feature film.
The arrangements We're made by w.
G. Cook, chairman of the commission.
with the Animated Producing COM
pany, for the entire production.
Space in the film will be allotted to
cities and industries. according to their
population and relative Importance.
The offices of the Panama-Pacific
Exposition commission in Sioux Falls,
are now receiving applications for
space in this feature from commercial.
clubs and booster organizations of the
various towns.
A representative of the commission
will call upon the various cities and
industries with a corps of camera men
and produce - pictures at the same
time the contracts are closed for space.
On account of the fact that only a
certain number of feet of film can be
run in a day. it is anticipated the de-
mand for space will far exceed the
mount of footage to be allotted to
various localities.

MUST ACCEPT THE
STORY OF JONAH

Absence of the spirit of God in a
man is what makes him run after
'isms." Rev. Frank Wright, the indian
evangelist, told his congregation at the
Westminster Presbyterian church Non
day evening He took for his subject
The Holy Spirit" and his text was
taken from John 1914. He said the
mission of the holy spirit is to glorify
Christ God has subjected himself to
his son. He is to deliver back the king
dom to his father The mission of the
holy spirit is to talk of Christ. This
is the age of the holy spirit. who con-
vincts US of sin and shows US the
Savior.
Those who try to overthrow the
story of Jonah would deny the resur-
rection of Christ, as this was sign.
Two things only are necessary: first.
you know that you are a sinner, and
second, Christ. came to save you. You
can't serve God unless you are cOnse-
