LOOKS GOOD
Recent Rains Have Improved
the Corn Crop

Mitchell, Aug. ~. The crop situa-
ton in the past week has undergone a
change for the better by a large per-
centage. There have been three good
rains throughout the week, which
have been more OF less general in
character and have helped things
amazingly. Corn Is regaining its
former good condition, and while the
yield wilr not be so large ii is going
to make more than an average crop
The thrashing yields in wheat have
commenced to come in. and they are
not near 30 bad MS at 6rst reported.
Several farmers in this county have
thrashed out 16 to Is bushels per acre,
and 1t is averaging from IL to IA bush
els in nearly every case. Some fall
wheat has been thrashed that has
turned out 16 bushels per acre, an ex-
ceptionally good yield. Oats are run.
ming all the way from IS TO Az
bushels, with the latter figure pre-
dominating. With two or three more
good rains the corn crop will make
even better gains than the present
condition.

LAND DEPARTMENT
Investigation Shows Large Elk.
pense In Handling the
Department

Pierre, Aug. 12.-The state investi,
eating committee has been working fol
some time on the state land department
and has made some interesting finding.
as to the expense of operation Of that
department to find if there is any waste
In its management.
In our work we find that it cost
two and a third times as much to
operate the department in 1919 as it
did in 1896, but the income for the
year 1896 was only tl4f, 81, and that
for the year 1912 was 1896. 276 or a
difference of three quarters of a million
dollars.
The expense of maintenance of the
department was the heaviest ia 1919,
when q large amount of new land was
selected and survey and typographical
work CARRIED on with a force of field
men, the outlay for the year being
$23, $50. 80. This added outlay was
warranted 10 that the income from 1919
was $110, 027.64 greater than that for
the preceding veal which demonstrated
what a special effort put forth by the
department will do for the state.
The state land department has in
its control millions of acres of state
lands, u large portion of which is an.
nually leased for grazing and agricul-
tural purposes. Few persons have
any real conception of the big business
this department t~ransacts. or of the
responsibilities and duties of the de-
partment for the last twenty years,
has come q greater and more detailed
knowledge Of the lands under it's con-
troll. A topography of each forty
acre tract of large portions of the
public lands have been made and it is
now possible to determine accurately
from the Office itself the value of it's
lands for the purpose of both leasing
and sale. The expenditure incident to
the acquiring of this data is clearly
justified by the results obtained.
The increase in cost of maintenance
of the department has caused some
criticism among some citizens of the
state. but they have evidently over
looked the fact that the expense of
maintaining the department has not
increased in proportion to the re-
ceipts. the expense for maintaining
the department for the years 1911 to
1913 being less than half the amount
for the years 1895 to 1898 when com
parel.

SPECIAL ELECTION
Called to Vote On Proposition
to Issue School Bonds

Elsewhere In this issue we publish
call for a special election to be held
Tuesday, Aug. 26. for the purpose of
voting on the proposition OF issuing
bonds in the sum Of SIS, 900 for the
erection OF a gymnasium and auditori-
um in connection with central school
building. Central building has be-
come crowded beyond the limits of
convenience, we may say endurance.
and the proposed addition Is absolute
ly q necessity. The preliminary
plans of the new structure provide
for a building detached from central
building with provision for heating
from the main building by an under
ground system. The ground floor is
designed to be used as a gymnasium
and assembly room, central building
now being destitute of assembly facili
ties on account OF the crowded condi-
tions existing. The second floor il
set apart as an auditorium for public
use, a place for holding conventions
of various nature Of state importance
which might be assigned to this city
and also Tor the daily use of tine
schools. There is great need of the
improvement from many s~tapdpoints
that might be enumerated, but il is
especially necessary for tie comfort
and convenience of the teachers and
pupils of the city schools.
The city school fund Ia in excellent
condition and little hardship would be
experienced in the issue of the bonds
asked for by the board. The bonded
Indebtedness outstanding Is IS, 600. pay
able optionally in 1915. And to OBJECT
this there is 80, 900 in the sinking fund
which will be easily accumulated to
the amount necessary to pay off ont.
standing bonds at the date noted above.
Hence, it will be seer that the require.
ment of the board Of funds for the
needed enlargement of facilities for the
schools Is very moderate.
Attention is called to the call fol
special election to be found elsewhere
Ia this issue.

The veterinary department of the
South Dakota State college has proven
that 80 per cent of all hogs treated for
cholera have safely withstood the dis
ease. Potent sci um vaccination, in
the words Of DIR. E. L. Moore, veter-
inatrian at the South Dakota expert
ment station. ''has absolutely no bad
effects upon the hog, if care is taken
to properly sterilize the point of the
injecting needle" A hog v~accinated
for cholera and exposed to the disease
any time during the first six weeks of
vaccination will be immune for nine
months. The cost of the serum neces.
sary to vaccinate is in proportion to
the size Of the hog. DIR. Moore states
that a 30 to 40.pound hog will re-
quire 90 cubic centimeteis. The
