Passing of Wheat Farming

To quit wheat raising with all its
thrills Of speculation, it's quick re-
returns. etc. is a difficult task for
many old timers, especially when
prices are at the top notch. But it
comes in every locality sooner or
later. And the history Of nearly
every state discloses the fact that no
real permanent success came to the
farms until grain raising became a
minor factor. The history Of other
states will repeat itself in South Da-
kota. Here is one straw from east
ern Brown county, where nearly
all the land has been under small
grain cultivation for twenty years
or more;
Grotor, S. d., Dec. 9.-Farming
methods in this community are
changing for the better. The dairy
is being brought to the fore with an
accompanying increase in the acre
age of corn, the installation of silos
and in an enhanced number of dairy
COWS. A co operative creamery is
succeeding beyond the hopes of those
who promoted it. In November the
output was 20 Der cent more than
for the same month in 1918. On the
farm of A. T. Amaden, near this
city. which is a fair example, l20
acres of corn were raised this year.
A goodly acreage has also been de-
voted to alfalfa. Fifty silos have
been erected in the immediate COM
munity. This is evidence that the
dairy is here to stay.

FRENCH ADMIT SLIGHT RETREAT
 OF LEFT WING AFTER FIERCE BATTLE

Paris, Oct. 3-After having tried in vain recently, in the north of France. to break at Tracy-le- Mont, and then at Rove, the strong line of the allies, the Germans have renewed their fierce at tacks between the latter city and the region of Arras Their latest efforts, in which they have been hurling their forces against the French and English in trying to gain decisive victory have had no better results.
 The French, in an official statement frankly admit a slight falling back at the left of one of their attachments On the other hand, the allies have no4 only successfully opposed the terrific onslaughts of the enemy at other points but have made gains as well
 The allies continue to pour in their troops at points where they are need ed to replace those worn out by the hard fighting or in filling gaps in fine ranks It is assumed that England,s native troops whose arrival at Mar seilles last week has only just been announced, are either at the front ar in it's vicinity. They have greatly strengthened the French line which 1t is roughly estimated, now mum bers 750, GOO men . . Lieut. Colonel Rousset, the military critic of the Petit Parisien, in revie11-

ing the situation, says:
 t'It is now on our left that the battle takes on the most imposing propor- tions. When one considers. that after hardly month of fighting the enemy was nearly at the gates of Paris 1t can be seen instantly how much terri tory we have gained on the Germans who counted on crushing us.
 The enemy has brought to it's right large forces. hoping to break our of fensive, and at the same time it re- turns to attempt the passage of the Mouse. It is thus making a visible effort on two wings and at the same time guarding on the rest of the front in an expectant attitude This is the old tactics of fanking, which re- appears unfortunately for it has no more the merit of secrecy than that of surprise. We know itstoo well now to have it still imposed on us.''
 The troops in the trenches are suf- fering severely in the chilly nights and consequently a number of Brit ish supply officers have visited Paris and have purchased all of the avail able supply of warm clothing, furs, comforters and sweaters. 1Hach man in the fold has been supplied with a blanket and ratncoat in the district where the fighting is going on as the thick mists are uncomfortable.

BATTLE AT BORDER
 OF GREAT IMPORT

London, Oct 3-Commenting on the status of the battle in northern France. the correspondent of the Times at Paris says:
 ''The violence of the battle seems to be concentrated for the moment on the left wing which mas prolong- ed itself to a point with 30 or 40 miles of the Belgian border south of Arras.
 ."Through this line the Germans have attempted to break with the ob- ject of isoIating the forces of the allies in the north The conba,ts in this region have been extremely yio- lent but the allies hold the enemy we'll in spite of partial successes by the Germans.
 Along the fronts of this immense battle Hne-to the right, the left and the center-the enemy has tried to break through in vain. Nowhere have the French yielded. On the con- trary they have steadily and meth odically progressed especially on the right wing. New progress has been made also in the Argonne region"

ALLIES AND GERMANS
 CONTINUING TERRIBLE
 BATTLE AROUND ROVE.

London Oct $-Though the Ger man right is less than 50 miles from the Belgian frontier, never since the outbreak of the war apparently have the people of Great Britain been more reconci1ed to the idea. that the struggle yet to come will be- long and terrible.
 When the Germans first began to retreat after their rush toward Paris, hope ran high that some master stroke would bring compie1e rout to the invaders. Now, however, many ahould the so-calIed battle line be fall back on equally strong entrench- nents.
 There Is nothing from the French battle line this morning to indicate a marked change in the situation The hercest fighting is apparently still centering on that part of the battle line stretching due north for about 40 miles in an almost straight Nne from Rove. The vicinity of the little town of Albert again has been t1ae scene of vigorous action where the allies claim progress; and the latest announcements asserted that the remainder Of the vast line was ergztte the exception of the region around St Mihiel from which the Germans wered riyen from their southern-nost Judgement.

ARTILLERY BRINGS HEAVY
 CASUALTIES IN RETREAT OF GERMANS

London, Oct. 3-The Petrograd cor respondent of the Post, writing of. the operations on the Niemen in Russian Poland, says:
 Later intelligence shows that the operations on the Niemen were on a greater scale than was supposed and the losses were more severe. This was largely due to the admirable prac- tice Of certain heavy artillery which is at the disposal of the Russian forces The Germans in their retreat, were under a persistent fire for 10 or a dozen miles and suffered enormous losses. The result is that the Rus sians are again on German territory.
 ssFor the first time since the war we hear of German troops attempting a bayonet charge. This was during a. night attack on September 30 at
