A GOOD LAW.

The Guide had occasion to notice last
week that the trial Of Charles Doll was
the first one in the county in which un-
der the new rules OF practice and pro
cedure the judge gave his instructions
to the jury before the closing arguments
of the attorneys and in which the jury
men were furnished with typewritte
copies OF the judges instructions.
The most important change is that
which requires the Judge and the attor
neys for both the state and the defense
to meet with the judge and consider the
statements of law to be made to the Jury
in the instructions Of the court Under
the old practice the Judge prepared his
instructions without consulting the at
torneys for either side, and the losing
side often asked for a new trial on the
ground that the Judge had erred on some
point of law in his instructions to the
jury. Sometimes this took the matter
to the supreme court and the case was
sent back for a new trial entailing a
heavy expense to the county.
The law is good one in many ways
aud will save thousands of dollars in ex
pense besides going long way in elm
mating the laws delays. Rapid City

MILLIONS FROM STATES CROPS.

Mitchell.-South Dakota's crops of
corn, oats, wheat and fax raised during
the past season, will retail at present
prices at a total of 1924 1906, 100, accord
ing to the October estimate of crop con
ditions, as issued by the United States
department Of agriculture.
This sum would be sufficient to fur
nish each of the twenty millions of fam
lilies in the United States with one ton
of soft coal. If used for luxuries, and
divided equally among the one hundred
million people in the United States,
each person would receive 81 "a, or
enough to pay for $500 seat at "a good
show, with plenty left over for the
war tax.
The value Of the South Dakota crop OF
this year is only about two-thirds as
great as the value of the crop Of 1918, as
unfavOrable weather conditions cut the
wheat crop to about one half the amount
of last year

Corn Leads All.

Corn, the principal crop of the state
IN number of bushels raised, and in
total value, yielded IO2, 100000 bushels
this year, valued at 81. % per bushel this
crop is worth SIPS, ,62S, 75O.
The 1918 estimate at that time was
for los, 1873, 600 bushels, which exceeds
the crop Of the present year by 6,OOO,-
600 bushels. In quality, the corn Of
this ear is per cent better than the
ten-y ear average, as the present crop is
So per cent perfect, while that of the
past ten years has averaged 81 per cent
perfect.
A total of 80, 36S, 900 bushels of wheat
have been raised in the state during the
year. At 81 10 per bushel, this is worth
S63, ,772, 800. The wheat crop of the
state equalled only about halt OF that
value for 1918, when one of the record
yields of the states history resulted,
and 90, $50, 600 bushels of wheat we're
raised.
This decrease in the crop total was
not due entirely to poor crop, but was
partly caused by decrease in acreage.
The average yield per acre was eight
bushels this year, while that of the ten
years preceding has averaged IL bush.
els. In quality, the wheat only aver
aged 10 per cent as compared with 50
per cent, the ten-year average.
Oats Big in Bushels.
Oats bring a high total in bushels but
do not increase the total of the crop
values so greatly as the average price is
bnt 81 cents per bushel. The crop total
for the year was 60755,0 bushels,
valued at S37, ,O60, $50 Last year the en-
tire oats yield was $780, 900 bushels, a
third greater than that ofthis year. The
quality OF the crop WAS So per cent this
year, as compared with SO per cent per
feet, the ten-year average.
Flax will bring S544, 440, 900 into the
banks OF South Dakota this ear with a
total yield of 1861 200 bushels. This is
valued at S4.OO per bushel according To
prevailing market prices. This years
flax crop is nearly the same as that of
1918, when 1868, ,UOO bushels were pro-
duced. Tie flax quality is lar above
that OF the average for the past ten years
