is much room for improvement in the
American methods.
1T is unquestiOnably true that the
price of wheat has often been low IN
proportion to the cost of producing
it. This was partly because enormous
areas of new land were being opened
up, and reproduction frequently re,
suited.
There are now practically no large
areas of new land to be opened up
for wheat growing in North America.
The nation must have wheat to eat.
and therefore will necessarily pay in
the future high enough prices to draw
out the supply needed. This fact to-
together with the plans now underway
for more efficient marketing of wheat
indicate a brighter outlook for the
wheat grower in the future.
1T would seem, also, that instead
of dropping the growing of wheat, the
sensible thing would be to work it
into a good rotation. secure the best
adapted varieties, and undertake to
secure larger yields through better
farm practices. This will automat.
ically cut down the cost of production

STOP GROWING WHEAT?

Will South Dakota farmers eventu-
ally stop growing wheat?
The statement has frequently been
made. both editOrially and by farm
ers, that this will be the case" says
NJ. r. Benedict, farm management
specialist at State college. state
ments of large and heavy losses in
wheat growing are common. The 1919
crop was produced at a very high
cost throughout most of South Da-
kOta because of the low yield, and
was sold at a loss. Much of the states
crop is unsatisfactory this year. #
there is no remedy for this condition,
it would seem that the only solution
for the wheat farmer would be 20
abandon wheat growing. Fortunately,
however, this is not the only way
out.
at has been the history of most
of the new sections of this country
that their first important cash crop
was wheat. Wheat was easily trans
portable, yielded quick returns, in
volved comparatively little capitaliza-
ton. and required little specializa-
ton. Consequently, it was grown al
most to the exclusion of other crops
until low production made it decidedly
Improbable. Such was the history
of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and even
of New York.
Lowered fertility together with
scab, anthracnose, and other diseases
practically drove out wheat growing
from these states. After a few years
with practically no wheat growing,
most Of ;hese states are beginning to
grow wheat again, but, instead of be-
ing the main crop, it is a part of a
rotation which includes corn and
clover or other crops.
"The surprising thing is that such
states as Ohio and Illinois with their
high priced land are growing wheat
at a lower cost per bushel than are
the newer lands of the Dakotas. The
reason for this lies in the fact that
good crop rotations, good farming
methods, and well adapted varieties
have come into more general use in
these states than in the west. Since
higher yield is one of the biggest fac
tors in lowering cost per bushel, the
cost has in many cases been lowered
below that of the western growers.
Wheat growing was driven out OF
England by the cheap wheat produced
on the cheap lands of the United
States, but it is rapidly coming back
because the high yields resulting from
COOL farm practices make it profit,
able. The average yield per acre in
England and Germany before the wal
was around 80 bushels. In the United
States it was a trifle over IA bushels
1t probably would not be desirable
to bring European methods OF farm
ing into the United States, but there

BANNER CORN CROP

South Dakota's corn crop is now
placed at 101, 1856, 900 bushels. and this
season promises to be South Dakota's
second largest crop of corn in the
states history, according to the month
ly report of H. O. Berbrandson of Wa
tertown, agricultural statistician for
the bureau of crop estimates.
Contributing factors to the deprecia-
ton of South Dakota crops during the
month Of August were largely the pro-
vailing weather conditions which were
reported by the U. S. weather bureau.
The estimate suffered a loss of g..
O63 900 bushels during the month Of
August. This seasons production
promises to be South Dakota's second
largest orr crop. The indicated yield
is 81 bushels for the stae.
On August /, spring wheat in South
Dakota was found to be 20 per cent
condition. IT has now deprecated 70
approximately SO per cen condition,
indicating a yield of about S.5 bushels
or 25,067, 900 bushels for the state.
This is a little over 1000, 900 bushels
reduction since the estimate of one
month ago The contributing factors
in this reduction have been the addi-
tional evidence that rust has seriously
damaged the crop, together with some
wheat scab. Very little wheat Of good
quality is to be found in the state this
year. The better grades are confined
to the extreme northern counties to-
gether with some good wheat in
Hughes. Sully. Potter and Walworth
counties, and some small areas west
of the Missouri river. 1t seems prob
able that one of the contributing fac
tors to the better grade of wheat in

ELLISON TO SING
HIS SCOTCH SONGS

If you pine for the romance of "the
old days" don't fail to hear Glen Eli
son on Wednesday, November 10th, at
the Vine Street Church of Christ. One
song will be enough to bring up pic
ture of the wild adventures of the
fierce black haired Duncans, or the
gentler pursuits of the sandy Mac
Gregors. For there is the true Scotch
burr on Glen Ellison's tongue, that
will make even good American song
like ooh, How l Hate To Get Up In
The Morning" smell of heather.
Few artists before the musical
world today can interpret the Scotch
songs with real understanding of the
emotional intensity underneath the
Scotch reserve. Glen Ellison is one
of the few.
They were romantic lot, those
Scotchmen, even if they would have
you think otherwise. And nobody
knows that better than Mr.. Ellison.
His clear sweet baritone is admira-
bly, suited to the pure melody of
those beautiful old songs. He sings
them with deep and tender sympa-
thy that brings out all the poignant
sweetness that is indigenous to them.
He has a wealth of splendid feeling
at his command, and it shows to the
best advantage in these romantic
times.
On this occasion Mr.. Ellison will
give his devotees chance to hear
him. He is in finer voice than ever,
and his concert promises to be a big
event. Rumor says that Mr.. Ellison
may be prevailed on to sing one or
two numbers by request.

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits community
fire, food. earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornado-the American Red
Cross cen be depended upon to follow
right at Its heels with help for the
stricken people. Red Cross relief is
almost Immediately forthcoming-food,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors,
nurses and special workers with long
experience In handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, ending June so,
there WAS an average of four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty.seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadoes in Mississippi,
Louisiana. Alabama, Georgia. Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events Of horror $50 per.
sons were killed, 1900 were injured,
$4,000 were made homeless, about 3O,-
900 families needed help, the property
loss was nearly Sl00,0o00O0 and al.
most $l,OOOO0O in relief funds, not in
cludlng emergency supplies was ex.
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of sup.
plies, 10 Red Cross nurses and seven
speclal relief trains. To meet the
needs of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food cantcens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
II disaster ever strikes this town or
county. the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand to help them In every way.
