Duplec Woman Cuts Plants Into IL
PartS-PreStO and Wit
ness Result.

Dupree, Oct. ia potato story
which sounds almost in~credulous. but
the accuracy of which is vouched for
by several people living near the N.
ID. J%ennerson ranch. near here, has
just been told.
Last spring Mrs. Jennerson visited
friends in Minneapolis, and, return
ing home, brought with her a huge
potato. This potato was cut into
twelve pieces and planted in a sepa-
rate corner by itself in the Jennerson
garden. The other day, when the
J~ennersons were gathering their po-
tato crop they carefully dug up the
hills planted from this huge spud.
The returns were a bushel and a
quarter of perfectly good potatoes,
all of a good size.
The potato crop in this locality is
wonderful. many farmers averaging
from It's to $50 bushels per acre, but
the above instance is the most pro-
life yield yet reported.

Forest Rangers.

Deadwood, Oct. 19.@Just what to
do with the little chipmunk, which
has become a serious impeachment to
their work, is the problem that is
vexing the Black Hills national forest
officers. For several years past dur
ing the fall season when the forest
service is collecting the pine cones for
the seed for replanting the burned
over areas, the chipmunk plays havoc
with their work by getting the seed
first. Various means have been tried
to check him and even exterminate
him. but this year they are plentiful

tanned on a steady to strong basis as

week, or in a general way values were

previous Monday.
Unevenness featured in the deal on

of steers and butcher stock were
taken over at prices about even with
the end of the week, while medium
and plain classes were about a dime
lower. Practically the entire crop
was grassers.
Prices in the hog department

sales were at a spread OF from $40
