Harvesting is now completed in the
southern and central portions of the
state, and is practically completed in
the northern counties. In some local
tiles, owing to excessive moisture.
farmers have had difficulty in harvest
ing grain on low ground. One ingeni-
Gus farmer appears to have solved the
problem of cutting grain in muddy
fields, and IL his plan is followed in
future by all farmers who have to
contend against too much moisture II
will result in a great saving to horse
flesh in the harvest fields.
The farmer found it was impossible
to get his grain in the ordinary man
ner, so he purchased a gasoline engine
for about the price Of good horse,
placed 1t on his binder, having dis
connected the machinery from the
"bull wheel and connected with the
engine The presstos into the mud
when the sheaf was bound was thus
obviated and the horses pulled the
outfit while the engine attended to the
cutting OF the grain.
He WAS, however, forced to use four
horses all the time until he hit upon
the plan of boarding in the large
driving wheel of the binder, when he
was able to do the WORK with only two
horses, and, by changing teams, to
make greater speed. During all the
time of operation of the new combina-
tion the cutting machinery did MT
clog once, and where the straw was
lodged and the elevator could not
handle 1t rapidly there were often
three sheaves bound out after the
swath was cut out and the horses
standing still.

BEST CROP IN HISTORY OF State
Hundreds of Threshing Machines Now at Work
Prove Early Predictions We're Not
Exaggerated

the state. There are some reports OF
a shortage of threshing hands. farmers
who are short of help complaining
that when they did not require aid
transient farm hands were numerous,
but now that their services are re-
CURED they have disappeared.
Now that small grain. generally
speaking. is out of the way, the corn
crop Is being watched with some anxi-
ETY. by the farmers of the state. Two
weeks more of favorable weather,
such as wa7 experienced during the
last week. viii place the great bulk
of the corn in the southern and CEN
trail portions of the state beyond the
possibility OF damage by early frosts.
while three weeks will be required to
pull through the corn in the northern
counties.
In view of the critical stage which
corn has reached, unique methods
may be adopted by many farmers TO
prevent injury TO this. very impor-
tant crop should frost be experienced
before corn natures. 1t has been sug-
gested that farmers cut and rake up
hay tumbles about their fields Of corn,
especially on the north and west sides,
and when the danger point comes, IL
it does come, to start the smudges and
cover the fields with great clouds Of
smoke, thus preventing damage to
corn by frost.
The hundreds Of threshing machines
which are now at work throughout the
state, pounding out the grain which
will during the next few months bring
into this state millions of dollars, are
proving that early predictions to the
effect tina. the yield would be one Of
the greatest In Ge history of South
Dakota were not exaggerated.

Figuring on a basis of $3.50 900 popu-
iation, this would give a per capita
production of about 1907 for every
man, woman and child in the state,
including Indians, of whom there are
are about 10000, as well as whites.
During the present year number of
cities and towns have been able to
show their independence of the East
ern financial centers. In the past,
when bonds were to be issued for
school, municipal or other purposes,
money could not be secured except at
the financial centers, and at high rates
of interest.
Within the. last few months num-
Der of South Dakota cities, and towns
have issued bonds for various pur.
poses, and have not had to go outside
of the state TO sell them.
When the authorities of a city or
town advertise for bids for the pur.
chase of bonds which are about to be
Issued, there invariably is a food of
bids, so anxious are the local capital.

it will be earning something.
The outlook of the state could not
well be brighter. In educational mat
tiers it is very fortunate, having excel
lent facilities which reflect credit on
the wisdom and foresight of the found
ers OF the state.

Within few weeks, when the farm
ers commence to market their crops,
money will flow back into the state,

The total production of new wealth

Estimating the population of the state
at 100000, an increase OF nearly 10
