STATE FAIR To
BREAK RECORDS
INDICATIONS POINT TO BIGGEST
AND BEST EXHIBITION s. ID.
HAS EVER HELD.

Huron, Aug. 17-Indications all
point to the biggest and best state
fair in years when the fair grounds
are opened September IL for the
38th annual South Dakota state fair
and exposition.
Entries for all departments are
heavier this year than in many years
past, and already Secretary John
White has been forced to cancel en-
tries in certain departments for lack
of sufficient display room.
The agricultural exhibit will be
the largest in years. Last year there
were eight county exhibits in the
Agricultural building This year 81
counties have allpied for space and
have voted money to put in their ex-
hibits. Corson county alone has ap-
propriated $1,000 for this purpose.
1t is expected that there will be
a large horticultural display this
year, but entries for that will not
close until the week before the fair.
One feature of the horticultural
building this year will be the big dis
play by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, which has en-
gagged $500 square feet of floor
space for showing the activities of
the departments various bureaus.
This will be an educational exhibit
of Considerable Importance to the
farmers of the state.
1t has been found necessary to cut
out all concessions in both the agri-
cultural and women's buildings this
year on account of the exhibits.
Twelve womens organizations of the
state will have booths in the wom-
ems building in addition to the reg
ular displays. Thursday, Septem-
Der IA has been set aside for the
state federation of women's clubs,
and Mrs. Grace Reed Porter of Nit
cheli, is expecting every club in the
state to have representatives and
large delegations at the grounds
that day.
The poultry, dairy and machinery
exhibits this year will be il any
thing better than last year, while
the livestock exhibits will break all
records. Especially is this true of
the dairy cattle department, which
will be larger than ever before, ii
being necessary to supply an extra
judge this year TO judge the dairy
cattle entries. Instead OF using
tents To handle the overflow from
the cattle department this year, two
large temporary barns will be put
up, each 40x100. The lumber used
in these will be used in putting nj
a permanent barn next year if the
appropriation for this purpose gets
| through the next legislature.
Four days of fast horse races and
| the closing of the week with auto
races in which Sir Haugdal will fea
ture the Workman shows, large
number of excellent concessions
Hendid free vaudeville acts and the
! masterpiece of spectacles, "Mysti,
| China put on by Thearle Duffield
will constitute the entertainment
for this years fair, making an al
around balanced program.

Farmers Arrange
New Schedule

Mobridge, Aug. IL - Threshing
has been reduced cent a bushel
over last year in this locality, as the
result of a meeting of threshers held
here last week The price fixed was
five and seven cents from the shock
where teams are furnished by the
farmers, and three cents additional
where the thresher furnished the
teams The prices last year were
six and eight cents. The same price
applies to barley. No price was set
for headed grain and flax.
From $3.50 to $4 was considered
fair for threshing hands, and Sc per
day for man, team and bundle rack.
Thus far all the labor needed has
been secured for $3.50 per day.

Need Of Rain

Redfield, Aug. 17-Corn through
out this section is suffering mater
tally from the excessive hot weather
of the past few days and the lack Of

that while there will be a fair crop

compare with the small grain yield
throughout this section.

average of 40 bushels Of barley pei
acre where the grain was sown as o
nurse crop for alfalfa. the seeding
only being half a. bushel to the acre
His winter wheat averaged 36 bush

Redfield. Aug. 1.-THE installa-

L-\-dlllOIlltd CllOICoAii
The California Petroleum Cor
poration was formed in 1912 as
holding company, acquiring the
stock of corporations owning and
exploiting oil lands in California.
The corporation acquired directly
several leases of prospective OIL
land in Mexico and Texas. Land in
Mexico has not yet been drilled
and the Texas driIlings have proved
disappointing. Net production OF
oil in 1921 amounted to S,966,9Oo
barrels, as compared with 3.632,bI0
in 1920 At the beginning of 1872
there were 233 producing wells.
The company was then receiving an
average price Of S1.62 a barrel, due
chiefly to a three-year CONTRACT
with the Standard Oil Company OF
California. This contract calls TOR
the delivery of all oil produced by
California Petroleum or its SUB
salaries, except oil under CONTRACT
with the Independent Oil Producers
Agency, up to a maximum OF 3'zoo,-
900 barrels year. The corporation
has outstanding $14,S77 600 common
stock and S10,739,526 of z per ceht
cumulative preferred stoSh'
shares equally with the common IN
all disbursements after the com
mon has received per cent. In
the period 1858 preferred diyi-
dends were in Irregular amounts,
but in 1919 all arrearages were
cleared up, and the regular rate has
since prevailed. No dividends have
been paid on the common since
1913. There is funded debt OF
only Ss52,400: AS of December u,
1921, the net tangible assets ap,-
plicable to the common stock
amounted to s21.1o0.000, or s141.s3
a share, after allowing $120 share
for the preferred. At the end OF
1921 there was surplus Of S3,37l,--
600. Net earnings in the nine and
a quarter years ended December 81,
1891, averaged 2.9a per cent on the
common after allowing for full div
idends ON the preferred. Last year
9.s4 per cent was earned. Range of

Sugar Merger Delayed

Legal difficulties are understood to
have resulted in a failure to agree on
terms of the proposed merger of the
Cuban American Sugar Company and
the National. Sugar Refining Company
Directors have held a number of CON
ferences, and it was thought several
weeks ago that they would reach an
understanding that would be acceptable
to stockholders Of both companies. A
director of Cuban American states,
however, that the merger plan has not
been altogether abandoned, bgt it is
the belief in the Street that it has been
at least indefinitely postponed. I'M
provement in the sugar situation has
revived one of the main reasons for
merging, the purpose of which was to
create stronger concern than either
of the separate companies.
