GAIN IN A MONTH
All Three Small Grain Cereals
Are Estimated Better on
August 1st Than on
July 1st.

Approximately $100.000,000 is the
farm value of the three crops OF
wheat, oats and barley produced i'll
South Dakota this year.
This is the U. S. government report
for August 1st. To be exact, the
total value, on the farms, of the
production of these three cereals in
South Dakota this year is given at
$97.524,O0O by the U. S. department
of agricultures report.
This is more than double the COM
bined value OF these three crops in
South Dakota last year. AT their
farm value on August 1st last year
the wheat, oats and barley produced
in this state in 1914, as finally esti-
mated, were worth total of $46,-
186,65O. Double that figure would
be $92,300.000. This years value
of these three crops in South Dakota
is approximately $5,000,000 more
than double the value of these three
crops in South Dakota last year.
Nothing like this record, or any
where near approaching it, has ever
been made in South Dakota.
Corn Worth More.
The August list estimate of the
1915 corn crop in South Dakota puts
the total value at s4S,069, 1000, as
compared with $46,S00,0OO for last
years corn crop. Adding the corn
crop, the four chief cereals in South
Dakota this year will, according to
the August LIST report, yield a total
of $145,593,9OO for the farmers of
South Dakota.
Wheat and oats both went ahead
in South Dakota during July, accord
ing to the government report. The
July LIST estimate for the wheat pro-
duction in this state was $1,000, 900
bushels. On August 1st the estimat-
ed yield was 54,OO0,O0O bushels. and
the condition was 9S per cent of
normal. Last years production OF
wheat in South Dakota was S0,600,-
900 bushels, and price of wheat
August 1st this year, on the farm in
South Dakota, was 81 .16, as compar-
ed with 80 cents last year.
Oats in South Dakota made a
phenomenal advance in July, the es-
innate being increased in the month,
by the government, from 53,5O0,000
bushels TO 5s,4O0.0O0 bushels. The
1914 production of oats in South Da-
kota was 4,165,OO bushels.
Barley Improves Too.
The barley crop also improved dur
ing July, the estimated yield being
increased from 20,20O,OO0 bushels,
to 22,60O,00O bushels.
The condition of corn decllned
Slightly during July, the percentage
being given at 72, as compared with
rs month ago and ten year aver
age of "a. This was undoubtedly
due to the continued cold and rainy
weather in July. The warm dry
weather that has prevailed thus far
in August has added anyway ten per
cent to the prospective corn crop.
There is every probability that the
estimate of the corn crop i'll this state
will be increased from now on. The
better price this year makes the corn
crop worth more than last year,
though the estimated yield is Slightly
under that of 1914, being 76,300,-
900 bushels, as compared with 49,
100000 bushels last year.
Following are the figures show
ing the value Of the wheat, oats and
barley crops in South Dakota this
year and last year, these figures be-
ing practically final because the har-
vest is pretty we'll finished over the

More Than Double the Worth of These Yields
In State Last Year, Say Govern
nlent Figures.

Thus it will be seen that the wheat
crop is worth SO per cent more than
all three crops in this state last year
Adding the corn crop for the two
years, the government estimate of the
value of the four cereals in South
Dakota is $145.593, 900 in 1915, as
compared with $92,9S6,650 in 1914

The wheat crop the greatest ever
grown in any country, will be worth
more than 1,0OO,OOO,O0O while the
corn crop may reach 00,000,000.
The surplus of wheat is more than
100000 bushels, the largest this
country has known.
Total 5,547, 100000 Bushels.
l. Five leading grains, wheat, corn,
oats, rye and barley have an aggre-

and increase of 124sO0O,0oO bushels
for the month of July, or little over
y per cent, and 269,OOO.OOO bushels
or nearly five per cent larger than
last years final returns.
In August last year the wheat
was estimated at 911,O00. 900 bush
els, including 100000 bushels
winter and 236,0O0,000 bushels
spring. Corn then was estimated at
2,634 100000 bushels and oats at L.

turns were increased 10,000,000
bushels winter and decreased 3d.
100000 bushels spring wheat making
the aggregate crop 100000
bushels.
Corn finally was increased nearly
40,000,OOO bushels. and oats decreas-
ed 100000 bushels from the August

Increase 100000 Bushels.
An increase of 100000 bushels
wheat was made in the figures in Au-
gust this year compared with those
of July, the winter wheat estimate
being cut down 100000 bushels,
and spring increased 100000
bushels There has been some loss
from rains over the winter wheat
country since these figures were made
up.
The corn estimate was raised 104.
600, 900 bushels for the month and
oats increased 3,OOO,OOO bushels. The
corn crop is the second largest on
record, the highest previous figure
being in 1912. Then the final aggre-

Washington, d. G. 1.-TWO American
battleships sailed Tuesday night to
Vera Cruz in response to an urgent
request from Commander McNamees
OF tfhe force in Vera Cruz karbor,
stating that his little fleet of gun
boats in Mexican waters should be
reinforced i'll view OF the anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations that have been
taking place at that port. 1t is un-
derstood that President Wilson has
ordered them to De sent himself, al

would not even admit that such
orders had been received Or that the
vessels had gone.
Only Precautionary Measure.
Care had been taken earlier in the
day that the public should under
stand any activity at this time on the
part of the fleet would be purely pre-
cautionary, and that it could not
have any possible connection with
the PanAmerican conference which
meets in New York tomorrow to

In their latest aerial raid over the

so seriously damaged that it fell in
to the sea and was towed into Ostend

says that five airships passed over
that country Tuesday morning SO it
is thought that another raid was
scheduled for Tuesday evening. There
was big storm on the coast, how

the Zeppelins to be in the air So it
is thought that no attack was at
