ROSEBUD COUNTY. 



Ingomar Index — Harry Guyer, a homesteader living in the Snow Belt district, 

 about 25 miles northeast of Ingomar, threshed a 12-acre field of Turkey Red winter 

 wheat this week. From this field Mr. Guyer received 600 bushels of excellent wheat, 

 an average yield of 50 bushels to the acre. Mr. Guyer also had in 10 acres of a new 

 variety of oats known as Black Beauty. He got off this field 730 bushels of oats, 

 making an average yield of 73 bushels to the acre. His flax averaged 12% bushels 

 per acre. This yield of Turkey Red winter wheat is the largest, for any sized field, 

 we have reported this year. For this 12 acres of winter wheat Mr. Guyer at the 

 market price today, Oct. 21, 1915, at this market will receive 78 cents per bushel or a 

 total of $498, making the proceeds per acre, $39. Or in other words, Mr. Guyer has 

 realized $39 this year on 12 acres of his land that did not cost him $10 per acre. 

 Where, on top of earth, can a farmer do better? 



Sumatra Record — Tuesday of this week, Joe Fields brought to this office a red 

 beet which would be a credit to any community, and some fine potatoes, one making 

 a meal for three persons. The beet weighed 91/2 pounds. Mr. Fields came to this 

 country three years ago with 10 cents in his pocket and has had a hard struggle to 

 get along, as he had to work out to make money to improve his claim. He had two 

 grubstakes, amounting to almost $100 stolen. Still, he has succeeded in improving his 

 place, fenced it and has 40 acres of corn, an abundance of potatoes and other vege- 

 tables, including about one-fourth of an acre of onions. Mr. Fields recently made final 

 proof on his claim and will soon be the proud possessor of a fine half-section of land. 

 His farm lies about five miles east of Sumatra.
