REPORT SHOWS
PRICE RANGES
Federal CROP AND MARKET
BULLETIN PRESENTS MANY
IMPORTANT FACTS.

Pierre, May 27-The crop and
market bulletin of the United States
department of agriculture in its COM
paratice price estimate of farm prod
ucts for April Is, 1921 and 1922,
makes a rather peculiar showing of
hog prices.
The eastern and southern states
practically all receive higher price
for hogs in 1921 than they did in
1922. But as soon as the northwest
and western central part of the coun
try is reached the reverse is the
showing, with increased prices for
1922 over 1921.
The general average of the coun-
try shows that hogh were selling in
South Dakota in 1921 about 26 cents
under the average, the whole coun-
try average being $7.96, and the
South Dakota average $770. But for
this year the situation is reversed,
the general average for the country
being $3.50, and the average for
South Dakota $3.50.
Practically the same condition as
to sections holds good on beef cat
tie, the east and south getting the
better prices for 1921 and the west
and northwest getting the lead in
1922. The country general average
for 1921 was s6.0S; with the South
Dakota average $500, while for
1922 the country average is $3.50,
with the South Dakota average Sc.
For veal the average for the coun-
try in 1921 was $773, with the
South Dakota average 81, and for
1922 the country average is $7.26,
and the South Dakota average $3.50.
Sheep prices show along with 9th
ers the west leading the country av-
erage for 1922, the general average
being $6.43, with the South Dakota
figures at $3.50, and the same condi-
tion as to lamb prices.
In fact, on the live stock produc-
tion with the exception of horses the
northwestern states all lead the
country average i'm 1921.
But while this applies to live
stock, the wool growers are not get
ting their share along with the live
stock producers, only getting into
the list with the sheep and lambs
they sell. When they marketed
their wool in 1921 they had an ad-
vantage of one-tenth of one per cent
on each pound, but for 1922 they
were two and eighth-tenths cents un-
der the general market price.
AS to live stock losses, the South
Dakota ratio was l8 per 1000 from
disease, and Is per 1000 from ex-
posure for 1922, as against a gen
raj country average of 17.S per
1000 from disease and 1913 pei
/ 1000 from exposure.
The heavy exposure losses were in
the southwest, where they ran as
high as 20 per 1000 in New Mex
leo, and ranged from that down to 20
per 1000 in other southwest states
with the exposure loss very slight in
the northeastern states.

I'm my opinion" Senator Cam

forts. More than a fair return Is
extortion from the public.

TO TALK PEACE
Miners Accept Proposal
Of Operators to Meet
Tomorrow.
CHANGES PROMISED
Loss of 10000 Men Threatens
Strength of Striking
Organization.
CHANGES PROMISED

CHICAGO, March II. - Negotia-
tions that are expected to develop
later into a State agreement be-
tween the coal operators and miners
of Illinois will be started here
Wednt sday. The proposal of the,
operators to discuss wages with
me miners was accepted by Frank
harrington. president of the miners
n this district. = ~
while thu operators do not 'ex-
pect that the meeting will result
in an agreement that will prevent
Illinois miners from stopping wcrk
April 1, they are confident that sub
sequent negotiations will result in
a wage agreement that may give
Illinois mines the creates: impetus
in their history.
Pay Higher Wages.
Handicapped by having to pay
higher wages than Eastern opera
tors, particularly on day-pay
miners. the Illinois operators are
anxious to complete a wage agree
nIent that will make L. possible ion
them to compete with HOcrinG val
ley for the bituminous ccal busi-
ness OI lHe ca TUT
this reason they are said to be pre-
pared to make guarantees to the
miners that operators in the other
three States in the central competi-
tive district will not even consider.
These include, it is said, acceptance
of the thirty-hour week as a mini
mum-the five-day week and six
hour day-acceptance of the check
aee p,,t he,
will insist on at least a 40 per
lieved.
With the prospect of being able
to compete with the Hooking VAL
ley operators for Western business.
the operators declare they will be
able to promise miners much
steadier employment and bigger an
nual returns than at present with
higher wages.
President harrington is said to
favor this proposition. and his ac-
ceptarce Is expected to be forth
coming as soon as he has paid his
union by calling his 10000 men out
IL the others go out.
May Check Strike.
II events transpire as operators
here expect. the strength of the
striking miners not only will be
curtailed shortly after the walkout
occurs, but operators in other
States. fearful lest the Illinois op-
orators cinch contracts for great
quantities of coal-at which they
have been pointing for years-will
be forced to negotiate with their
miners so they can promise fall de-
livery. In this way the length OF
the strike may be greatly curtailed.
Rice Miller. president of the Illi-
nois Coal Operators Association.
declared at Hillsboro that he had
high hopes" of an amicabIe agree
menL being reached either We'd
nesday or later"
The three big operators associa-
tions in Illinois have all accepted
Farrington's invitation to meet
Wednesday, and so any step taken
will represent the sentiment of the
entire mining industry in this
State.
There is a persistent rumor in the
trade here that the miners and
operators in Illinois have already
reached an agreement. This is de-
MED by officials Ot both. but one
representative Of Tie operators of
considerable influence said I'VE all
know where We are going pretty
well, and none of us are very wor-
ried; In fact things look pretty
fair"
