A protest from the United States against the Japanese occupation of the northern half of the island of Saghalin has been received by the Japanese government which declines to make the protest public at this time. The government will reply seeking to calrify the situa tion.

Doctor Shobe went to Germany in 1904, following his graduation from the Baltimore School of Dentistry on receiving an appointment as dentist to his royal nibs, the Kaiser Wilhelm.

July 29. With the beginning of the wheat harvest in the Dakotas only a short time ahead and with all prospects for excellent crops, farmers are beginning to get a line on their required amount of help for the busy season. Federal labor offices, working in conjunction with state and county farm bureaus, have toeen established at Sioux Falls, Mitchell, Huron, Rapid City and other vantage points thru South Dakota to direct the distribution of the flock of men who yearly follow the harvest north and who are beginning already to seek places in the fields of this state. Similar offices will be opened in the northern tier of counties of South Dakota" and. thru out North Dakota as the season progresses and the harvesters mov-i northward.

5 Crops both east and west of the Missouri River in South Dakota are reported as being of a fine stand and heavy yields are practically assured Only in local spots where hail or unusually heavy precipitation has dam aged ojr retarded growth will the yield fall short of that of a bumper crop, according to reports from the state's richest grain sections. The oats harvest in the southern half of this state begins this week and wheat will be ready for shocking about two weeks later. From then on the army of reapers will gradually work north until the Canadian border is reached and undoubtedly many of them will pass into the grain belt of that dominion.

WHEAT THRESHING IN FULL SWING; TRACTORS BUSY Wheat threshing is on in furl swing in the county now, after having been delayed some time this month because of rains.

The crop yield generally is turning out much better than expected, and yields of 30 bushels to the acre are numerous. J. R. Richard reports a yield of 33 bushels on a thirty acre field. Many farmers now are plowing for their next seeding.

The tractor is being put to full use, and on several farms two shifts work the same tractor, some working ffl nkrht. Some farmers declare thattheir tractors are paying for thcmplves this season. It is nothing unusual for a tractor to pull three plows "at a rate of three miles an hour. The tractor no longer is an experiment but is a proved success. LOCAL MARKETS.
