Pheasants Thrive on
 South Dakota Prairies

Pierre, s. D., Dec. '. Pl-A grace full, aristocratic and vari- colorcd bird, the Chinese ring -neckcd phea- sant, is thriving on the prairies Of South Dakota.
 The game bird has grown beyond the most optimistic hopes of the state department of agriculture, which introduced it, and is attract ing more and more hunters each year from a dozen middle western states and few beyond.
 Gratified with the success of pheasant introductions, the agricul- tural department now plans to bring in vast number of Hungarian cartridges, another bird which is counted among the game of kings and which is expected 10 find an agreeable environment in Dakota.
 Hunting fees are used mostly to provide protection for the game birds when the hunting season is closed and for establishing preserves where young birds are cared for until they may be released.

FERDINAND HAS
 MINOR AILMENT
Family Council Announces No
 Cause for Anxiety

Bucharest, Dec. R - Although the attending surgeons assert that the operation performed on King Ferdinand by the French savant, Professor Hartmann, was minor one, this has failed to allay public uneasiness.
 Even the announcement follow ing a family council composed Of queen Marie and her daughters and Prince Nicholas that Ferdinand's condition did not warrant the return home of the wayward former Crown Prince Carol, has not eased the minds of the people
 The official information given out by the doctors is that the operation was the common treatment for hem orrhoids. Some weeks ago it was stated that the ailment of Ferdinand had been diagnosed as recto-sig- moiditis, or inflammation of the low CT section of tn large intestine.
 GA recent despatch from Bel grade. Jugoslavia, said reports re- Geivcd there from Bucharest were to the effect that the disease of the monarch was cancer and that his condition was hopoless)
 Several doctors remained in the palace throughout last night. Dur ing the evening q report from the bedside said Ferdinand was "doing as well as could be expected for man of his age, whose physique is onfecbled by long illness
 The latest reports this morning said the king was rallyinr well from the effects of the operation. There is a feeling among the populace. however, that while the medical bull lotins are true as far 2s they go. they do rot tell all: that ii is not stated in the bulletins that the operation. the second of the kind the king has undergone in q year. was sllGht one because the patient was unable 10 stand d sevcrer one which would go 10 the root of his ailment,
 Ferdinand is 10 ed and respected
 
 his illness is Il cir sole preeoccupa- ton. there are no signs of political perturbation. Reports from Vienna and Berlin that former Crown Prince Carol has some idea of starting q movement in Rumania is not taken seriously here. Carol has q certain number of supporters in the army, but Premier AveresCu has taken what he deems the necessary pre- cautions against coup. Outside the army Carol appears 10 be thorough lv discredited and regarded with something akin to contempt.
 In any case it is not believed Carol will attempt anything while his fath- or is living. Those close to him maintain that never at any time will he do anything to injure the interests of the country. Carol has given an understanding not to enter Rumama without permission for ten years.

value for seed purposes"
In the barley tests Trebi has OUT
yield the best strain by more than
is per cent and at present is consid-
cred the best barley for irrigated
land. A blue hulIess variety of bar
ley known as Himalaya has averaged
68 bushels per acre during the past

of SO bushels for Trebi. Faust's

made by A. j. Faust of Dillon looks

Among the oats the variety known
as Victory has held the lead for
of years exceeding such var
ieties as Swedish Select, Early Noun

seven to twelve bushels. Markton, a
new variety, has shown higher av-
erage yield for the past three years
than Victory but has not been tested
out thoroughly enough to definitely
