REDUCTION IN
WHEAT SEEN IN
SOUTH DAKOTA
Increase in Flax Acreage and
Other Grains Predicted
For This Year
WHATU.S. REPORT SHOWS

Sioux Falls, S. d., Mar. 25.-Turn-
ing to flax in a rather intensive way,
South Dakota farmers have express
ed their intention of increasing last
years acreage of this crop fully 40
percent, while the indications over
the country are three will be an in
crease in acreage amounting to 81
percent.
Another step which indicates a
Letter balancing of agriculture in
the state is the intention to increase
the acreage of alfalfa. clover. timothy
and other tame grasses. This means
that farmers are getting away from
the one crop system and into the
rotation of crops and the raising of
additional livestock. 1t also means
cleaner land, and greater per acre
production with less acres of each
crop.
These and many other interesting
items which follow are taken from
the report of the bureau of agricuI.
tural economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture as based
on the planting intentions of many
tHouSdHUS VI FARMERS All over lne
country as of March l. While the
report cannot guarantee that the
farmers will carry out their inten-
items as recorded here, it is indica-
tive of what is apt to be planted this
spring. The. individual farmer can
take advantage of this expression by
adjusting his own paintings accord
acreage in some crops and II de-
crease in others.
Prospective Corn Acreage
South Dakota farmers, if they
carry out their intentions, will plant
8 percent more corn this spring than
they did last year. Farmers of the
United States as a whole contemplate
putting in 3 percent more corn, or Il
total of 07,408,00O acres. If these
intentions to plant are carried out,
assuming that the 1924 yield will be
approximately the average yield of
the 5-year period of 1918 to 1922, or
284 bushels per acre the indicated
corn production for 1924 is 3,050,387,-
600 bushels, which is approximately
the same production as for 1923. If
however, 1924 should prove to be
poor corn year IA sharp reduction in
the, total crop produced would prob
ably occur.
Spring Wheat
South Dakota farmers have evil
IDENTIFY found wheat an Improbable
crop to grow, as they have expressed
their intention to grow l8 percent
less wheat in 1924 than in 1923. The
farmers in the United States as Il
whole, according to their intentions,
will plant IA percent less spring
wheat. This will mean that the ac-
reage of spring wheat will be APP
proximatcly 17,l35,000. If it is as
sumed that the yield in 1924 will be
about the average yield for the s.
year period Of 1913 to 1922, which
is 1873 bushels per acre, there is in
dicatcd Il total production Of $780,
4G3 900 bushels. If foreign countries
were in a position to buy and if there
were a decreased acreage of wheat
being planted in other countries,
wheat would appear to be a good crop
for the individual farmer to grow.
Whether or not the increase in the
wheat tariff from 30 to AZ cents will
affect the price Of wheat in this
country is problematical. Wheat is
worldwide crop and is seriously
affected by foreign paintings and
production.

using short waves transmitted long distances, and
small local stations receiving and rebroadcasting the
programs their wave lengths. Tests already
made between England and the United States said
TO prove the practically of this method,
1T is appealing prospect, to radio fans if not to

naturally arise, such as these:
Who will WELD the tremendous power of commun-

under what authority? How will programs be
ranged? What language or languages will be used?
What be done if any government private inter

WHAT THE AMENDMENT DOES

Much of the popular objection, in MANY states
to the child labor amendment to the United States
Constitution is based the idea that ratification of
that amendment will automatically prevent boys and
girls under Is from working for wages
This is not the case The amendment merely pro-
vdes that If 1t is approved by the requisite number of
states, Congress shall be empowered to "limt regu-
late or prohibit the labor of such boys and girls The
purpose is merely to overcome present constitutional
obstacles When ratification has been accomplished,
there will be change in the situation until Congress
takes action. Then, in the enactment of child labor
enforcement laws, every state and congressional dis
trict will be able to exert its due amount of local in
fluence upon the legislation
1t is difficult for most Americans, interested
they In safeguarding the nations children, to
why any breat body of citizens should object to the
principle of this reform Regarding the application of
that principle, when the time comes naturally there
may be considerable difference of opinion
