State Department Awaits
Report on Bielaski's Release

The State Department is await
ing official advices from Charge
City relative to the liberation of
d. Affaires Sumerlin, at Mexico
A. Bruce Bielaski from the Gus
tody of bandits.
The $1,000 ransom demanded to
obtain Bielasky's release may have
been received by the bandits and
the former secret service chief
may have been released. but the
State Department received no word
up to a late hour last night.
No report has come from Con-
sui Shaw at Tampico relative to
the Cortez Oil Company kidnapings.
Inasmuch as Shaw's official mes
sage was dated Monday. and indi-
Gated that the incident occurred
Sunday. the 4S-hour ultimatum de-
clared by the bandits said to have
been led by Gen. Gorozabe, has ex-
pired.
Some anxiety was felt here be-
cause of the supposed expiration of
the ultimatum with possibly tragic
consequences. in view of the con-
tinued absence of advices from the
American consul at Tampico.

MEXICAN RAIDS
SEEN IN U. S. AS
POLITICAL PLOT

Grafton: Did Mr.. Bielaskrs success
or failure in his oil deals lead him
to believe something ought to be
done to discredit the Obregon gov
eminent?
In answer to the question. Why
were the kidnapinEs effected at this
time?' I would suggest that last week
Felix Diaz was in Washington being
dined and wined. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that he made inquiries as to
the sentiment of the United States
government with regard to recogniz-
ing the Obreson government Finding
that sentiment favorable. is II not
possible that he notified Pelaez OF Co
rosabe to effect the kidnapings in or
der to discredlt President Obregon?
OF course, these points are purely
speculative. But the information con-
tanned in the press dispatches should
be reliable. There is no censorship
of the press exercised either upon
ing out of Mexico.
and Pelaez are both opportunists of
some education. They are not of the
Villa type
Says Conditions Are Improving.
Even il some political significance
is attributed to the kidnapings. the
incidents themselves are isolated. and
do not involve any widespread upris-
ing. President Obregon has things
well in hand, and conditions are i'm
proving daily
Il do not mention the following to
start any controversy. but merely to
clear up the fundamentals of the sit
uation: One Mexican was killed in
the Herrin, Ill. mine tragedy and
one was badly beaten: five Mexicans
were kidnapped near Salt Lake City
the early part of June and are still
missing. In each instance have
been instructed to notify the Ameri-
can State Department and request
that the offenders be punished That
Is the end of those incidents so far
as any international complications
are concerned
The American government may
rest equally sure that every available
step will be taken to capture the
Offenders and punish them. just as
l am sure the American State Depart
ment is endeavoring to find and pun
ish the offenders in the aforemen-
toned episodes
The property belongs to the Cor
tez Oil Company, an American con-
Germ, carrying on extensive opsra-
lions in the Tampico field. The
property seized was located at the
Aguade Station of the company. and
the Americans reported captured are
believed to have been employed by
the company. or least connected
with the oil industry in that
region.
The first official report to the
State Department came from Con-
sui Shaw at Tampico. He stated in
his dispatch that Gen. Gorozabe with
240 well-armed men had captured
the property and was holding the
forty Americans and destructible
property worth approximately $780,
900.
The fears felt for the safety of
the American property and Ameri-
can lives are augmented by the fact
that recent reports from the Tam
pico district have indicated a grow
ing feeling of unrest with an in
creasing number of minor cases of
friction. especially between Ameri-
cans employed in the oil fields and
numerous Mexican semioutlaws who
are to be found about the camps.

JUNE CROP REPORT

The more important characteristics
of the crop report issued today by
the United States bureau of markets
and crop estimates for South Dakota
are a 40 per cent increase i'll the pro-
ductiOn OF winter wheat over one year
ago, a ? per cent decrease i'll the
spring wheat acreage, a 4 per cent de-
crease in the oat acreage, a l per cent
decrease III the barley acreage and
the promise of a 80 per cen increase
in rye production. This is the first
report issued for the year OF spring
wheat, oats and barley and the yield
values are consequently considered
less than they would be later i'll the
season with the same per cent CON
ditions. The par value for winter
wheat is IS bushels, spring wheat
l2.5 bushels, oats 1915 bushels, barley
25.5 bushels and rye 1S.5 bushels.
Aside from the season getting a
late start, the weather conditions have
not been entirely favorable and a

kOta was very much.in need Of mois-
ture during May. The regions most
effected lie south of Beadle and
K~ingsbury counties, west Of Lake
Minnehaha, Lincoln and Union coun-
ties. This dry area extends west OF
the Missouri river to the Indian res
ervationS at least. The area specified
above is normally a most important
factor in South Dakota's major crops
and any resulting damage seriously
curtails the total production for the
state.
The state winter wheat crop is
now found to be in a SO per cent con
ditiOn, justifying an estimate OF l.
469 900 bushels. This as compared
with 1850, 900 bushels one year ago.
The spring wheat crop is now esti-
mated 10 be 2,715, 900 acres, at a con
dition Of 92 per cent, which indicates
q total production of 31,223,000 bush
els, as compared with 24,93O, 900 bush.
els one year G and a previous five
year average of 36,37S,000 bushels.
There were 2~,544,OOO acres found
to have been planted to oats, the con
dition being found to be approximate.
ly at 80 per cent Of normal, justifying
an estimated production Of 1928, 00O
bushels as compared with 5S,300,0OC
bushels in 1921 and a previous five
year average of 6S,2SS, 900 bushels.
1t is eG.,mated nat 1908, 900 acres

in A CONDITION Of 50 per cent OF norma
which justifies an estimated produc
ton Of 90, 7O3, 900 bushels as compared
with 1923, 900 bushels n year age
and a previous five year average o.
26,392, 900 bushels.
The winter rye is now in a very
promising condition except in thu
above specified r and there II
much rye to be found in Trip county
The condition was placed at So pei

The hay and forage situation in
South Dakota and also the nation now
appears to be most excellent and the
prospects indicate approximately les

Dakota and 0.9S ton OF wild hav

prospect of about $1,000, 900 tons more
hay than was produced one year ago,
or 106 ,099 900 tons.
South Dakota's rather unimportant
apple crop is in o satisfactory con

A summary of weather conditions in
South Dakota during May, 1922, as
submitted by the weather bureau is as
follows: The average temperature
during May vas considerably above
normal, the greatest excess beng in
the extreme eastern part Of the state
There were a few short periods when
the temperature was somwha. below
normal. No extremely high or eX-
tremely low temperature occurred.
While freezing temperature occurred
at a few places on a few dates, over
most Of the state the temperature
did not fall as low as the freezing
point generally at any time during the
month.
There "a great variation in the
amount Of precipitation in the differ
ent parts Of the state. Over practi-
cally all the southeastern quarter
there was a decided deficiency, the
total precipitation for the month be-
ing only from one-third to one-half
the normal over most of that quarter.
Over most Of the northern and west
ern parts the total for the month was
considerable in excess of normal,
though there was a deficiency at a
few stations. In the northern Black
Hills region precipitation was very
heavy and there was very heavy
snowfall in the higher regions on the
nth. Unusually high wind prevailed
on the 11th."
