LAND VALUES AND SALES
Selling and Assessment Values in the
Eastern Counties Noted

Pierre-A summary OF land sales for
a few of the eastern counties OF South
Dakota indicates that the average as
sessment value PLACED on the lands
does not come to a very large percent
age of the selling price Of lands in
the same counties. The summary
made by T. A. Polleys, OF the Oma-
ha road shows that in the thirteen
counties of Codington. Ga k. Sphinx,
Brookines, Beadle. Hughes, Minneha
ha, McCook, Hanson, Dawson, Union,
Clay and Yankton, on a total of 1918
transfers the average selling price
per acre was $3.50, and the average
assessment price in the same counties
is $S.51. The PERCENTAGE Of assess
ment price to sales price averages in
these counties 22.39 PER cent. The
lowest is in Union county where the
average Is but 1889 per cent and the
highest in Hughes county where the
average is PIT per cent. The rest
O fthe counties cited show averages
ranging between these two figures, but
Hughes Is the only county which
shows a ratio of more than IS per cent
Of selling value as its assessment val
ne for lands, most of them running
near 90 per cent. These figures are
based on the land sales for the first
half OF this year and range from fifty
to IT'S individual sales in the differ
ent counties.

THE NORTHWESTERN RY.
MAKES INSPECTION
SIZES UP CROP PROSPECTS
Views the Situation at all Points Along
Northwestern Lines and Bases
His Estimate on Person.
al Observations

Observation-Disclosures Moulton. Of
the Chicago & Northwestern road has
just made a trip owe all the lines or
that road in the state, and his opin-
ion is that the state will harvest about
seventy-hve per CEN of an average
wheat crop and barring hail and early
frosts, will harvest fully an average
corn crop. In fact In his estimation
p better one than for last year. While
there are a few spots east Of the
river where the drouth has been Sc
we're, and the crop very short, they
are small in extent, and in many 9TH
er locations the crop is ahead of what
1t was last year which will go a long
way toward keeping up the averag &c.
The eastern and southern part OF
the state Is reported to be good. An
area between %Iroquois and DeSmet
has been hard hit. North of Redfeld
toward the state line the crop will
be short except in a circle about Col
umbia, where it Is above the ave. age.
While the straw is short in that part
of the state the grain heads are we'll
filled and the grain of a good quality.
The wheat yield for last year was
forty million bushels and a seventy
five per cent yield will put it at thirty
million bushels.
In the Missouri valley in this part
OF the state the oat harvest is on, and
some good samples are being brought
in. The country north from Sally
county, across Potter and Walworth
is reported to be making the best
showing it has come through with for
years. West of the Missouri there are
local spots where the crop is a prac-
teal failure, one of these being he
tween Fort Pierre and Midland. AM
other is in the northwest corner OF the
state, including Harding and parts
Of Perkins county.
Other spots which received timely
local rains report a better crop than
for last year. The crop estimates for
past years have not taken in much
Of the western part of the state out
side of the Black Hills section, and
whatever is secured in that section
will be In the shape Of a general rain.
The corr crop generally all over the
state is reported to be in good cOndi-
ton, and late rains have helped along
the situation greatly, with the indica-
tons now for a good crop generally
unless caught by early frosts. The
corn yield for last year was pat at
Sc 900 900 bushels, and it is expected
to be up to normal this year.

ANAyERACEC CROP
REPORTS FROM MANY POINTS
IN THE STATE INDICATE
A GOOD HARVEST
RAINS WERE BENEFICIAL
Recent Rains Worked Wonders in the
Grain Fields, and the Yield in
Many Localities Will be
Average or Better

Despite the rumors which have been
afloat for the past few weeks, indicat-
Ing that the crops in South Dakota
are almost a total loss, and that many
farmers will not get back much more
than their seed. reports from all parts
just before the reapers are to go into
the fields. indicate that the yield will
be but little below the average. The
rains, which have been general for
the past ten days have done much to-
ward avoiding q terribly short crop.
The corn crop probably will be a lit
tie short, but taken all in all, the
average farmer will find that he has
almost as much cash in his pocket this
fall as he had last year.
Nearly all reports indicate that the
straw will be short, but this will be
an advantage, and the general grade
Of the small grain is expected to be
high.
