COOLIDGE And MCMASTER
CARRY SOUTH DAKOTA

Election news from over the state
has been very meagre so far this week,
but radio reports Wednesday evening
at six o'clock credit McMaster with
carrying the state in Tuesday S pri-
maries with about 5000 majority over
Sterling and President Coolidge is
credited with carrying the state over
Johnson with from 5000 to 1900 ma
iority with several counties yet to
hear from.
We will endeavor to give our read
ers full and authentic reports of the
outcome of the primary election in
next week s Pioneer.
Wednesday at noon McMaster was
claiming the state by 10000 and Coo
lidge by 5000, but as the reports from
the counties are being tabulated both
are having their maiorities reduced
and final figures may show a pretty
close margin.

RECENT LAND SALES
In SOUTH DAKOTA

The superintendent Of the Pine
Ridge Indian agencv held sale OF
Indian lands last fall The lands to
be offered were listed and appraised
and offered, after advertising, on
sealed bids.
The Pine Ridge reservation includes
the counties Of Washabaugh, Bennett
Washington and Shannon, lying be-
tween the White River and the Nebras-
ka line.
Ninety-two tracts were sold at a
gross price amounting to 9,773
more than the appraised valuation, or
an average of $432 per tract above
the appraisal These lands were APP
praised mostly at from So to $l5 an
acre. The terms were either cash or
four annual payments, with interest.
The superintendent of the Rosebud
agency held sale in Indian lands
in the counties of Gregory, Tripp,
Todd and Mellette on Decembe Il,
and disposed of 1l5 tracts at tota'
gross increase over the appraised value
Of $51, 1908, or an average of $443.62
above the appraisal of each tract
These lands were appraised at from
SIS to $50 an acre, and included some
very choice pieces.
The sales, in both cases, were made
largely to people in the vicinity, or
to their friends who had come on
from the east to bay land, or to pros
pective settlers from Nebraska. Most
Of the tracts sold will be occupied
and improved by the new owners.
These sales are an indication of the
growing interest in the cheaper lands
of the state. The state immigration
department is advised that up to
March 10 about sixty carloads Of IN
migrant movables had crossed the Mis-
souri river at Chamberlain since the
first Of the year.
Transfers are taking part in other
sections of the state. and the outAok
is for at least normal movement in
land in large part Of the state this
season.

shows very healthy condition and
the foresightedness Of farmers III TINS
statex
These deductions have been based on
farmers intentions as reflected March
/. There will naturally be certain
adjustments between what they
thought they would plant on March ]
and what thc- will actually seed. This
is an exceedingly valuable report that
the Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
has gotten out, and it affords an m
sight into how the farmers are think
inc relative to seeding, not only IN
their own locality, but in the United
States as a whole.

The vote was 1913 for Coolidge and
1872 for Johnson. On the democratic
ticket the fusion forces carried the
county over the regular ticket by a
vote of 32S for fusion and 144 for
McAdoo. In the senatorial fight
McMaster received n ma jority Of just
four votes in the county over Sterling.
The vote was Isl for McMaster and
III for Sterling, while on the demo
cratic ticket Cherry got l54 to Bates

VICTIM OF UNUSAL ACCIDENT

Elmer Aeschbacher, Of Rosebud
Valley. Thursday Of last week en-
ployed Walt Hagmah, one OF our
freighters, to take load CT hogs to
the Winner market for him, and he
went along to sell the hogs. While at
Winner one Of the tires on the truck
went down and Mr.. Hagman was
changing the tire while Aeschba dher
was watching him make the change.
In some way the tire rim was not just
in place and as a result the tire ex
ploded and the small steel rim IN
Acschbacher on the right arm, with
the result that quite a hole was
punched in the arm by the force OF
the rim. Aeschbacher is getting along
as we'll as could be expected now but
he will probably not have the use OF
the arm for several days.

the last few years has tended to dis
courage large planting. In this
state the acreage will be cut twenty
per cent under last year while in the
United States rs whole il will be cut
three per cent. The intended ground
set aside for potatoes will be 3,740,-
600 acres. The average five-year yield
is 9S.7 bushels per acre. Assuming
that this yield will be realized, in 1924
the total production would be $780,
13S, 900 bushels of potatoes.
If the farmers of the United States
carry out their intentions, and if the
yield is as assumed, the price Of pota-
toes for 1924 should be favorable to
the grower. Usually when produc-
ton of potatoes is 3.S bushels or less
per capita, the grower finds potatoes
profitable crop. When however. the
production exceeds 38. bushels per
capita, the supply exceeds the demand
and as consequence the price received
is usually below the cost of produc
ton.
Flax
Judging from the figures, farmers
have turned to flax rather extensive
| ly. In South Dakota farmers think
now that they will increase their acre
age over last year by forty per cent,
while the farmers over the entire
country expect to increase their acre
age 81 per cent. This would resul Z
in 3,l74, 900 acres Of flax. which is ar
increase over 1923 of over 10000
acres. If the five-year average yield
Of flax in the United States Of 60
bushels per acre can be assumed pro.
duction is still considerably below con-
sumption. However, inportations OF
flax seed must not be overlooked
South America and Canada look to
this country to absorb large part Of
their stocks of flax seed. 1t has been
reported that both Of these countries
have either increased, or expect to in.
crease, their flax acreage. If 1924
should be a'favorable year for flax it
is possible that there might be ar
over production of flax international,
ly. This would tend to depress prices,
as flax cannot be fed to livestock to
do away with any surplus but must
be sold on the E.arkct However, the
present tariff of forty cents per bushel
will give considerable protection.
Tame Hay
As there was less hav on farms
March than for several years, il
would be expected that farmers would
probably want to devote more Of theii'
land to that crop. Although South
Dakota farmers had al abundance Of
hay on hand Marca :. nevertheless
they expect to Increase then tame hay
acreage BY nine pr eenr lie United
States as wnDle .x;,''. l. increase
it's acreage four per cent. If the
farmers intentions hold. there will
be 81 ,662 900 acres in tame hay crops.
The five-ycar average yield was l.4S
tons per acre. If this yield be ap-
piled 92,739,76 tons will be produced
in 1924 an increase of 3,500,000 tons
over 1923. South Dakota farmers
have been depending 700 largely on
wild hay crops for their feed. The
intention to break up this land and
seed it to grass is worthy one and
