Thrown From Horse

Hot Springs-Mrs. e. B. Penny, wife
Of the prominent merchant e. B. Pen
ny OF Fullerton, Neb., met with a Sc
rious accident while on a horse back
ride. The horse suddenly stumbled
and fell forward with such force as to

Penny's foot was caught in the stir
rup. The horse landed on its rack
and rolled over her twice, the POM
mel of the gsaddle boring into her
limb. The bone above the knee was
broken in two places and the sfasic
nerve severed. The woman's shoulder
blade was = badly shattered, and her
collarbone broken. Whether she was
injured internally cannot as yet be
determined. Her doctors say that her
right limb below the knee viii be
paraIyzed FOR at least three years. Mr.,
and Mrs. Penny were spending TIP
summer at this resort. They are
prominent people socially in the
southern part of Nebraska and Mr..
Penny is one or Nebraska's wealthiest

Professor M. z. Carleton, c~erealist
Of the United States department OF
agriculture. made a brief talk on the
adoption of plants suited to conditions
under which they are to be grown.
Professor N. e. Hanson of the state
agricultural college traced the growth
of alfalfa from its birthplace in south
ern Persia. The transplanting OF
plants to habitated places needing a
new form more adaptable to condi-
tions, is not only fascinating work,
but also one of extreme value later,
he said. He repeated the story of his
travels through the Siberian wilder
ness.
superintendent w. p. Snyder Of the
North Platte experiment substation
spoke on Scientific Farming Versus
Haphazard Methods"
mo country lacks drawbacks" he
said. Mud. rainy weather and severe
winters are no less Objectionable than
the dry climatic conditions. The soon
er that we acknowledge to the men
of the east that we are dry, and that
they must learn to use new methods,
the sooner we shall have the big red
barns in western Dakota and Nebras-
ka. We can grow crops in the coun-
try with less rainfall than can Texas,
where evaporation is more rapid"
DR.. Stoner of Highmore and Super
intendent Snyder Of North Dakota
also read papers. The address of DR..
Stoner was a mastery presentation
of the conservation of soil moisture,
graphically illustrating by several
physical laws. Resolutions of respect
to President Taft and Congressman
Mondell were passed, as were also
some favoring the appointment OF
weather men to each agricultural
school and indorsing Colorado Springs
for the 1911 meeting of the interna-
tional congress.

WILL FIX VALUES
State Board of Assessment viii Put
in Week Figuring

Pierre-The state assessment board
meets today and will put in most of
the week on the assessment of corpor-
ate property. Just what will be done
in the way of changing valuations OF
such property Is yet to be developed.
OF course there will be a slight in
crease in valuations of telephone oper-
ating in the state on new companies
which have made returns, but they.
are all small companies with a low
valuation, and the increase in that d.
rection will not be heavy. With the
work of physical valuation OF rail-
ways of the state not yet completed,
and the further fact that a suit is
pending in the United States court in
which the question of railway valua-
tons in the state is one of the vital
factors, it is not likely that the board
will make any radical changes in such
valuations for the year. There is no
new mileage to add, and the chances
appear to be that the figures for cor
porate property will nots how any
thing heavy in the way of increases.
Whether or not personal property
valuations will show up any great IN
crease depends upon the manner in
which assessors have done their work.
The personal property assessment is a
farce at the best, and not much can
be expected from that source. But
there will be an increase of fully ten
million dollars in lands, This is Sc
cured through the assessment OF new
lands and the increases ON valuations
of lands in the different counties,
which was fixed by the county audit
ors at their meeting last March. The
new lands will show an increase of
practically five million dollars, and
the net Increases in assessed valua-
tons in lands in the older counties
will show as much more.
The total assessed valuation Of the
state last year was $3.50, 100000. For
this year the total is likely to go to
about. 1926, 600, 900, but is hardly likely
to@reach three hundred million, re-
gafalegs of the increase of nearly for
tyimillion last year. IL the increase
gets up to fifteen million this year ii
VIII be doing better than the indi-
cations at present show for it.

LOOKS AT FIELDS
SUPERINTENDENT MOuLTON OF
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 over all the lines OF
that road In the state, and his opin-
ion Is that the state will harvest about
seventy-five per cent of an average
wheat crop and barring hail and early
frosts, will harvest fully an average
corn crop. In fact In his estimation
a better n 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 average.
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 1t is above the average.
While the straw is short in that part
of the state the grain heads are well
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 1t 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 Sully
county, across Potter and Walworth
is reported to be making the hest
showing 1t 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 be-
tween Fort Pierre and Midland. An
other Is in the northwest corner oil the
state, including Harding and parts
Of Perkins county.
Other spots which received timely
local rains report q 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-
lions now for a good crop generally
unless caught by early frosts. The
corn yield for last year was put at
&c. 00, 900 bushels, and it Is expected
to be up to normal this year.

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, Clark, Sphinx,
Bookings, 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 1851. 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 PITT 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 rs per cent
of selling value as it's assessment val
ue for lands, most of them running
near 20 per cent. These figures are
based on the land sales for the frst
half of this year and range from fifty
to ITS individual sales in the differ
emit counties.

REPORTS FROM MANY POINTS
M 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
afoat 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 a 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.
