STATE CAPITOL
GETS CROWDED
DEPARTMENTS BEING SCAT
TERED OVER CITY---OUTSIDE
RENTS $500 MONTHLY.

Pierre, May I9.-That portion of
the educational department which
has been located in the st. Charles
Hotel building will shortly be moved
to what is known as the Sugar Bowl
building on Pleasant drive.
The crowded condition of the state
house makes it necessary for many
departments of the states activities
to be located in various buildings
over the city. At the present time
the immigration department, the
drafting department of the highway
commission and, the state circulating
library are all located in the Fitch
block in addition to one branch of
the educational department being in
the St Charles building. The adju-
tant generals department located al
Aberdeen and the health department
located at Waubay, the home towns
of the officers in charge of the de-
partments, would be located here had
the state sufficient office room to ac-
commodate them. The capitol is also
very crowded, which makes it quite
inconvenient at times when the leg
islature is in session, when commit
tee rooms have to be rented in other
buildings in the city.
The rural credits department oc-
cupied practically all of the senate
chamber and one of the senate lob
bies, the industrial department and
part of the securities commission oc-
cupy one of the house lobbies and
! the securities commission also occu-
pied one of the committee rooms, the
1 banking department, agricultural de-
partment, livestock sanitary board
soldiers compensation board anC
tax commission are occupying com
mittee rooms. In addition to thi:
partitions have had to be put in botf
thes eats and west corridors of tht
ground and first floors of the state
of the secretary of states depart
ment, the drafting room and Off
GERS of the bridge section of the high
way department and the state librar!
is occupying storerooms in the base
ment.
The state pays in round figure
about $500 monthly for outside rent
of departments properly part of tn
capitol, but even at this ii is estimat
ed that 1t scheaper for the state t
do this at this time than put up al
office building which is evenuall,
planned, and pay fo its maintenance
i Howeve, the Inconvenience is grea
especially at times when the legisla
ture is in session when the rura
credits had to condense for the tim
being and the legislators have to g
to the business district for commit
tee meetings.

FARM SURVEYS
GET RESULTS
DATA SECURED IN JONES COUN-
TY BY STATE BUREAU
SHOWS MANY FACTS.

Pierre, May 19-Complete con-
densed results of the farm business
survey in Jones county made recent
ly by the state department of agris
culture, cooperating with the Jones
county farm bureau, are contained
in the May issue of the department
of agriculture's bulletin. The study
covers the farm business /. for the
year 1921 and data secured from 81
farms in the county.
The average size of all farms, the
survey showed, was 1,068 acres,
ranging from ITO to 4,240 acres per
farm. Thirty-eight per cent of this
land was untillable pasture; 36 per
cent crop land.
The average value of all land COW
cred by the survey was $23.47 pei
acre and So per cent of all land op-
Grated was found to be owned by
the operator. The average cash rent
per acre last year was 81 cents
which yielded the owners 1.S pei
cent on the investment, not deduct.
ing taxes.
1t was found that the smaller
farms made the most money, ol
rather lost the least" the repor
summary says, "in good or norma
years the opportunity for makins
! the greatest income exists on TIN
larger farms"

PRODUCE PRICES
SHOW INCREASE
WILL BENEFIT FARMERS TO A
GREATER EXTENT DURING
FALL MARKETING.

Pierre, May 19-Although there
is a gradual leveling up of farm
prices with prices of other commod-
tiles and although prices of most
farm products are even now fairly
good, still the farmer continues to
get the worst of the bargain when
he goes to town to make his neces-
sary purchases, according to an ar
ticle by c. G.. Worsham, in the cur
rent monthly bulletin of the state
department of agriculture. Mr..
Worsham is a member of the cost
of production survey operating un-
der the depart ment.
According to the bureau of labor
statistics" Mr.. Worsham says, "ail
commodities were listed at 152 per
cent for March and farm products
at 12S per cent for the entire United
States, taking prices prevalent in
1913 as being 100 per cent.
Even though farm prices are i'm
proving" he continues, lit will be
at least four months before many
South Dakota farmers can realize on
them, for the reason that 80 per
cent OF the total farm, sales occur
during the seven months between
September and March inclusive. 1t
is what the price of farm products
will be in the fall rather than what
they are now that is going to de-
termine the property Of the farm
ers this year.
Corn, barley, oats, eggs and beet
are still below the 1913 price level,
Mr.. Worsham points out in the table
accompanying his article. Wheat.
potatoes, hay, wool, butter and hogs,
on the other hand, are about the
1913 price.
However, he continues TO show.
wheat, rye and potatoes are .e only
articles of the IL which had great
er purchasing power during the
month of March than they did in
1913, when compared with all other
commodities.

Boys Catching
Wolf Puppies

Pierre, May 19-Boys in the
prairie section of the state are pick
ing up considerable spending money
these days by digging out wolf dens
and capturing the pups for the boun-
ty.
One outfit OF three young men
near Philip is reported to be work
ing out a couple or three dens a
day and when the find half dozen
pups in one of the dens they make
good wages for the time they are
putting In.
This method disposes of the coy
otes before they are old enough to
do any damage, but regardless CT
size the bounty is just the same. and
it is quicker work than trying to
trap them or shoot them when they
are older.
