gradual decline in wholesale prices
and a somewhat smaller volume Of
retail buying. Advices from the
building field also testified to cur
tailment Of activities here and there.
as the housing situation is relieved.
This, in turn, was reflected in lower
operations by construction ma
terials companies.
However, signs have not been
wanting that in various lines the
sterilization point has about been
reached. In the barometric iron
and steel industry, for example, the
decline in output for the second
half Of May was less pronounced
and seemed now to have reached
bottom. Pig iron buying has been
resumed on an encouraging scale,
while the demand for finished steel
has shown an unmistakable tend.
ency toward improvement. Faint
but discernible signs of business
betteFment also were found in the
cotton goods industry.
That the business turnover for
the entire country has held UP re-
markedly well in view Of the many
industrial changes was evidenced
in the volume of freight revenue
loadtngs, which continued in excess
Of any previous year except 1928.

WEEK IS DULL
ON n. !. STOCK
MARKET
Speculative Enterprise Low
But Most of Early Gains
Are Retained
BY International News Service.

NEW YORK, May S1.-Dullness
and indecision were the chief char
acteristicS Of the stock market the
past week.
The passage Of the conference tax
bill apparently had already been
discounted in the preceding weeks
advance with urgent short covering
completed and nothing in the news
to furnish an incentive to q further
rise, the list settled back in tho
same trading area within which
values have held recently. Specu.
lative enterprise fell to lower stages
as the week progressed and inertia
was intensified by the approaching
triple holiday.
Meanwhile, the market has been
able to retain the greater part of
the gains previously achieved. Short
selling, q usual occurrence in
lethargic trading conditions, made
little impression on the main body
Of shares, indicating that stocks had
passed into relatively strong hands.
Money Is Easy.
Easy money, reflected in a drop in
the call money rate to ~ per cent,
the lowest point since June, 1922,
stimulated buying of sound invest.
ment issues, both railroad and in.
dustrial, but the demand for shares
paying dividends of doubtful per.
manency has continued to dry up.
The market, as a whole, clearly
indicated a thoroughly liquidated
position and an ability to Withstand
unfavorable news. Its waiting at.
titude was regarded perfectly logical
In view Of the decire to limit commit.
ments pending President CoolidRe's
action on the revenue measure. the
adjournment Of Congress and the

after the termination of the politicdI
conventions a revival Of construc.
tive activity of reasonable propor.
tons, aided by cheap money and bet
ter conditions abroad, might be wit.
messed In anticipation OF the No.
vember election results.
The outlook for tax relief was tho
dominating question in the financial
and business circles.
Trade Depressed.
Reports from trade centers were
mostly OF q depressed character! The

widened and resulted in increasing

institution now consists of sixteen
teachers with over 800 pupils in the
grade section and ITO scholars in
the high school course, which is
fully accredited.
The rural school district of Plenty
wood is most amply taken care of
by thirty-five country schools, all
within radius of twenty miles of
the town.
Fine Country Schools
These are all modern buildings
erected according to state specifica-
tions, and are furnace heated, com
plete with play grounds and all the
other requisites. Rural schools
are nearly all located within seven
miles of each other, and where
necessary, a free buss service is
maintained, for the Accommodations of
the country pupils. The entire coun-
try school district is on cash basis,
a most significant fact
In 1912 Plentywood was lighted
by modern electric plant, and in
1913 and 1914 water and sewage
system was installed and five miles
of concrete sidewalks were laid.

James O'TooIe living five miles
south of Plentywood, with the assist
ance of his two sons has raised a
crop of 5000 bushels of wheat and is
feeding so head of cattle, in addi-
ton to operating threshing rig
which has threshed nearly all of
the grain in his neighborhood.
TX. @. Jackson farming five miles
north of town raised a field of oats
that threshed So bushels to the acre
and tested AZ pounds to the bushel
IL. c. Christensen living ten miles
north of Plentywood, with the help
of one man raised 5000 bushels of
wheat on 800 acres and is feeding 35
head of cattle for market.
James York, who rents land ten
miles southwest of Plentywood, had
in crop of flax on old land that
yielded an average of 26 bushels per
acre, for total of 1000 bushels Mr..
York also produced a wheat crop of
5000 bushels.
The address or the farmers whose
individual success are mentioned
above is PlentywooG. If the reader
questions the reliability of the mar
rative of these remarkable achieve
ments, write them.
The Happy Hass Family
The three Hass Brothers farming
in the northern part of this country
threshed a crop of $4,000 bushels
of wheat, averaging 80 bushels per
acre. The Hass Brothers used sum-
mer fallow methods exclusively and
farm with thoroughbred horses
1t might be well to mention here
the methods pursued in summer fall
low work. Adherence to this pro-
gram not only absolutely insures a
crop, but produces a yield that is
generally equivalent to more than
two years crops, raised under ordin-
airy methods.
AS soon as the shocks can be
moved in the fall the farmer imme-
diately thoroughly discs the field
which is then let lie until spring.
During the following May the land
is again disced, which operation is
followed by narrowing. In the latter
part of June the field is again disced
and narrowed. Sometime during July
the land is turned over by the pillow
and this is followed by the use of
duck-foot cultivators, which are
worked over the field once each dur

Sheridan county is proud of Plen-

Sheridan. Some startling facts have

Educational facilities were pro-
vided for and in 1901 the first
schoolhouse was built in this district.
The school of one room, housed one
teacher and seven pupils. In 1908
a grade school of two rooms was
erected and two teachers instructed
about forty children.
During the year 1913 the town
of Plentywood erected a large mod
ern brick school building, which is
still in use. However, since that
time three additional buildings have
been added and the personnel of this

The corn acreage in 1922 was 5000
acres, in 1923, $4,000 acres, and in
1924, 10000 acres. Corn has proven
an absolute certainty in this country.
The production of sweet clover is
increasing by leaps and bounds and
shows an increase of over 1000 per
cent in the last two years.
Poultry raising is being fostered
and is due for large further in

seven miles away and on the present
site of the town of Plentywood.
In The Days of the Longhorns
During this period of the country s
development, ranches were scattered
throughout the country about every
seven or eight miles. These ranches
were all rather small enterprises
which specialized in either cattle or
sheep. If a ranch raised cattle, the
herd ran from 100 to 800 head, and
if sheep ranch, the band ranged
from 1000 to 5000.
There was little or no farming
done in the Plentywood territory I'M
til abont 1908 at which time a few
"nesters" scattered here and there,

5000 bushels of wheat, the yield
running from 33 to So bushels per
acre. Last year from the same land
Mr.. Mann marketed 1000 bushels of
flax. In addition to his grain crop
he has grass fed and shipped one
car of cattle for market, the top
steer of the bunch, bringing $135
net.
Henry Balm, who is a renter, farm
ing five miles south of Plentywood,
raised a 400-acre crop of wheat, and
took as his share a check for $4,000
from one of the local elevators.

county and sells at the very cheap
price of $3.50 per ton delivered on

raising of corn and hogs is fast
assuming an industry of major pro-
portions.
Corn and Hogs
In 1922 Sheridan County shipped
only four cars of hogs. In 1923
there were 20 carloads billed out
and already during 1924, SO car
loads of these ham and bacon pro-
ducers have gone forward to market.
