APPROXIMATE COSTS OF WHEAT
PRODUCTION
BY N. r. Benedict,
State College, Brookings

WAY. - n h1 ABNMOxAFG{s
State College, Brookings
1893
The production costs OF crops are
very difficult to forecast with any de-
gree OF accuracy. largely because oil
varying yields. However, the posses
sion in tho spring OF approximate In
formation as 10 costs 10 more valuable
to the gruaver than exact knowledge
Of such costs in the fall, as such in
formation enables him TO plan his pro-
duction with a view to the greatest
probability OF profits. Very fair esti-
mates can be made OF probable acre
costs, however, and by dividing these
by the average yield for a given farm.
the probsb BILE cost per bushei OF that
farm can be arrived at. BY compar-
ing this with the average prices re-
ceived for the crop over a period OF
years, the grower is In a position TO
cut down somewhat on those crops
which lose him money on the average
year, and to increase those which
show probabilities OF profit.
The following factors of cost per
acre for these crops represent the
average for 1922. and apply Ito most
of the eastern third Of South Dakota.
BY applying the costs to these factors
as they occur on the particular farm
under consideration. a fair approxima-
ton of the probable cost per acre can
be obtained.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS.
Says Backache Often Means You
Have Not Been Drinking
Enough Water.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
1t may mean you have been eating
foods which create acids, says a we'll
known authority. An excess of such
acids overworks tho kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels, remov-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wea-
Their is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged to
seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and
sluggish Kidneys, also to
neutralize acids in the system, so they

To Hold" News
From Macmillan

Regular amateur radio relay traffic
between the North Pole and the
principal cities of the United States,
enabling Captain Donald B. Mac
MILAN, Arctic explorer. to keep in
touch with his secretary in Boston
and associates in New York, Chicago
and other cities, has been proposed
by the American Radio Relay
League. This unique service will be
day of each week over definite traffic
routes.
Until the present time, and es-
pecially until MacMillan's schooner,
the Bowdoin, was making it's way
north up the coast of Greenland,
communication with the explorer has
been undertaken en- a rather shit and
miss" basis. Not until the ship had
reached winter quarters at Refuge
Harbor, $50 miles from the pole, and
Donald Mix, radio operator, had be-
gun to maintain constant communi-
cation with Jack Barnsley of Prince
Rupert, 3. c., did regular traffic ap-
pear certain.
There is no reason, in the opinion
Of A. r. r. L. officers. why Captain
Macmillan. from his perch on the top
of the world, cannot keep In as close
touch with his friends by radio as
he could by the ordinary telephone
were he sitting in his office in Bos-
ton. That is the result of the pro-
posed experiment, to prove con-
clusively that amateur radio has be-
come the victor In the battle against
time and space.
No one doubts any longer that
amateur radio has become the great
est boon and comfort to the explorer,
breaking forever the bonds of isola-
ton and relieving anxiety over the
welfare of family and friends that
have been left behind. In his lit
tie cabin, under the Arctic sky. the
