SOUTH DAKOTA
ROSEAIE PROSPECTS
Even the Most Pessimistic South Da-
kota Farmer Now Wears q
Broad Grin.
For Nature Has Done Her Prettiest
to Ensure Him Prosperity
This Year.

Armour, July 6.-The Fourth has come
and gone and with it came most health
full fall of rain to the crops in this section
Of South Dakota. We now have certain
assurance that Douglas county will har-
vest a record breaking crop this year.
Last winter the country was visited by
an exceptionally heavy fall of snow which
prevented the ground freeing to any great
extent. The snow lasted until March and
even into April and In melting saturated
the ground with moisture. Then the
weather cleared off just right to give the
farmers a chance to work the ground and
get in their crops. During April and May
as well as June q rain has come every
time it was needed and neither too soon
nor too heavy. There has not been one
week since the crops were planted that
weather conditions could have been more
favorable for their growth, except, per-
haps, at times for corn, but this is a
natural condition here and the good corn
weather is with us now in July. Corn
will mature here in six, weeks, and farm
ers say that if corn is eight or ten inches
high by the Fourth there is every pros
pect for a good crop; and there Is lots Of
corn here that Is now almost waist high.
Even the most pessimistic and exacting
farmer is compelled to smile as he sees
his great fields Of corn, wheat, oats. rye
and other grains in the most perfect con.
dltlon, standing as thick as It can grow,
with the very best Of soil under it and
watered by just the right amount Of
moisture. After a rain the sun comes out
and shines clear and warm for a week
which makes things grow at wonderful
rate and gives that rich, healthy color
which is always present when the grain
is just right. Your correspondent has
heard farmers-even. those who aren in
clined to be looking for trouble-say that
the crops as a whole were never better
at tbs season Of the year, and there Is
nothing to hinder oats from making 100
bushels to the acre and wheat a good 40.
To people who would not believe this
statement the fields are here to prove it,
and this Is due to the fact that hardly
another county In South Dakota has been
SO well favored as Douglas. This section
will harvest the biggest crop ever known
| In its history, not excepting the heavy
yields Of grain in the early eighties.

the finale of an attempt to collect d
special Improvement tax levied against
the lots of the land company over eight
years ago for the purpose of constructing
drainage ditch around the CITY, The
land company refused to pay its portion
of the tax and the tax became delinquent.
They brought suit in the United States
court to declare the tax illegal. and to
secure a permanent injunction to prevent
the city acquiring a deed to the property.
This was refused by Judge Knowles and
the case was appealed to the United
States circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco for permanent injunction
This the court refused and discharged the
temporary injunction. In the process of
law the city acquired deed to the lots,
numbering something like 2,0O0 and now
asks the court to quiet title to the same.
