BUMPER CROPS
SOUTH DAKOTA SMALL GRAIN
YIELD TO SMASH RECORDS.

Sioux Falls, Aug. THE busiest
people in the state are the farmers of
South Dakota. who are taking advan-
tage of every hour of favorable
weather to harvest such Of their
small grain, so no time is being lost
while the weather Is favorable. The
work of harvesting will be prosecuted
next Sunday, from daylight until sun
set, with the same vigor as during
the week if the weather on that day
is favorable for the carrying on of
harvesting operations. The farmers
realize that every favorable hour
means an aggregate of many thou
sand of dollars to them, and accord
ingly ripened grain is being rapidly
cut and placed in a position where Ii
cannot be damaged by hailstorms or
other unfavorable weather condi-
tions.
As matters now stand there is not
the slightest doubt that the small
grain crop of South Dakota this year
will be the greatest ever harvested in
the state. Owing to much rainy
weather and heavy dews several
mornings, fears of black rust were
entertained in different sections oil
the state, but thus far no reports OF
the extensive appearance of black
rust have been received. This prob
ably is due to the fact that the days
following the mornings when there
were heavy dews were cool.
So far as moisture is concerned
! this has been the best cas- in South
Dakota since pioneer days. A notable
feature of these rains is that they
have extended to all parts of the
| state. In western South Dakota
where the rainfall for several seasons
was below normal. rains this season
have been frequent, and the aggre'
gate rainfall has been as heavy as in
the Older portion of the state east o.
the Missouri river. The result Il
that the newer section of the state
embracing the entire western half o.
the state, will this season take it,
place as a great crop producer.

SWARNIING


Aberdeen. Aug. 7.-Aberdeen's
population has increased nightly in
the past two days by the advent of
1000 members of the Industrial
Workers of the World. Eight hun
dred of them arrived from the south
in one day. travelling on freight trains
and the following day 200 more
came. Last year Aberdeen had some
difficulty in handling the /. w. w.
hordes that infested the city at har-
vest time. and there was considerable
rioting. This time the leaders of the
army of 500 sent word in advance
that they were not looking for trou-
BILE. but were all men who were hon
estly looking for work. So far the
men have all been p~eaceably dis
posed and there has been no trouble.
The Aberdeen Commercial club is
making every effort to get men look
ing for work and farmers looking for
me min touch with each other, and
there will be no lack of laborers.
Complaint is made by some of the
men that they gave up So TO Twin
City labor agencies on representation
that there was a great demand for
harvest hands here. only to find, upon
arriving here, that this was not the
case.

GAME and Law
CHICKENS AND DUCKS PLENIi-
FUI-IIT1LE CHANGE
IN LAW.

Sioux Falls, Aug. REPORTS com
ing from the north and west indicate
there are lots of prairie chickens and
ducks in the country, and with the
approach of the hunting season in
quiries are being made as to any
changes in the game laws at the last
session of the state legislature.
Although several laws were made
in regard to big game and some leg
islating done regulating the state
game reserve, nothing that affects
the hunters in this locality was done
and the same laws that governed the
season last year will be in effect u
ing the coming season.
The season On prairie chickens,
grouse. plover, snipe and partridges
opens at sunrise on the morning OF
September 10 and closes at sunset on
the evening of October g. The bag
limit on these birds will be the same
as in the past, namely not over ten In
one day and not over twenty-five In
the possession of one person at any
one time.
According to the state laws ducks.
geese and other waterfowl may be
shot from sunrise on the 10th day OF
September TO sunset on the evening
of April Q. but those who are wise
will put their guns away after No
yember 80. as the federal laws re
strict shooting of all migratory birds
after that date.
The bag limit on waterfowl is set
at twenty birds in one day and not
over fifty in the possession of one per
son at any time. Local sports may
find it hard to keep within these linn
its the first day as reports coming in
from the north and west say that
there is an abundance of chickens
and ducks in that section of the
country.
