SOUTH DAkoTA's OUTLOOK

Philadelphia newspapers tell of the
plight of farmers of eastern Pennsyi-
yania, a section suffering severely
from drouth. Those farmers whose
land lies near streams of sufficient
size are running hose out into their
fields and pumping water into them
in an effort to save their growing
crops.
This will be surprising news in
South Dakota, where, according to
an authoritative statement published
in The Press a day or two ago, sea-
sonable weather for two weeks is all
that is needed to make a hundred per
cent crop Of small grain throughout
the southern part of the state. The
northern half of South Dakota is
scarcely less optimistic in it's fore
casts. South Dakota has already had
a run of seven fat years and yet there
are no lean years now in sight

DEMAND FOR MONEY GROWS

Already the demand for money for
building purposes and in anticipation
of the crop movement in this state is
becoming the most striking feature
Of the financial situation.
Instead of a call for money to meet
liabilities, the people Of this state
are seeking funds for enlargement of
business for development of enter
prises and for the erection of homes
and business structures.
Reports of national banks made to
the comptroller of the treasury on
June % indicate that these banks in
South Dakota are in good condition
to meet prospective demands for these
funds.
