The harvesting Of small grains has
practically been completed and, with
the exception of small patches Of
wheat and barley, which have been left
for seed, grains are all cut and shocked.
This work has been FASTENED by the
very favorable weather for work in

and dry weather causing the grains to
ripen a little prematureiy. On ac-
count of this forced ripening. some OF
the grain. particularly the late oats,

The weather the past week has been

rains. which although not sufficient.
we're of very great benefit, particular
ly to corn and pastures. Threshing
has commenced. although not to any
great extent. Barley and wheat are
both yielding from is TO so bushels to
the acre. There has not been a suhi-
cient quantity OF oats threshed as yet
TO give any good estimate of the yield,
but from the results obtained go far
1t appears that eats will run from
thirty-hve 20 fifty bushels to the acre.
A few exceptionally fine fields are ex-
pected to yield a high as Atty bushels

forty bushels
Corn IS still progressing rapidly, II

COUNTY TAXES CUT.
Executive Council Orders Reduction in
Van Buren County.


Des Moines, Aug. S.-If the order
sent TO Van Buren, county officials by
A. H. Dawson, secretary Of the execu-
tive council. is carried out. the as
sessed value of farm lands in that
county will be reduced s2.1s1,s01. This
will cause a drop of $4,000 In taxes
to be paid next year by the land own
ers of that county. If ;he local offi-
Gals lower the tax levies, Van Buren,
will secure even a greater relief from
taxation, it is said.
While John W. Rowley, OF keosau-
qua, is trying to fix the blame for the
excessive raise in values last year
upon the state. the state officials have
located it with the Van Buren, county
officials. The explanation which is ac-
cepted as accounting for the error is
that the Van Buren, officials probably
certified the valuations TO the e1ecu
tive council without adding the values
ordered increased by the board Of SUI
pervisors. At any rate the mistake
was made in Van Buren, county, the
state officials say.
Having discov cred the mistake the
council has ordered the Van Buren,
officials to correct it. That county thN
year certified a valuation OF s16,6o3.
76s on farm lands. but made no mem
ton of l,0iS acres or farm lands within
the corporate limits of towns of the
county. Last year these lands were
valued at s1os.S0 per acre. The order
of the council places Van Ruren lands
q, s47..2 an acre.
The report this year shows 5000
more acres of land assessed in Van
Buren, county than were assessed last
gear. One township alone reported
1000 more acres, It is said. The state
has asked no explanation of this odd
