RAINS ASSURE
BIC CORN CROP
OTHER LATE CROPS ALSO BENE-
FITTED - THRESHING PRO-
CROSSES.

Pierre. Aug. 10.-The pendulum
of fortune, governing the states
corn crop, again swung toward the
optimistic side during the last week,
reports from county agents state, due
to general rains varying from light
to heavy, which relieved the inn
pending disaster threatened a week
ago by continued drough. While
prospects for the crop are nowhere
as bright as they were three weeks
ago, there seems to be feeling that
it will at least be up to normal in a
large per cent of the counties. An
unusual amount of smut is appearing
in the northeastern part, according
to the county agents. This is espe-
cially true in Sphinx and Clark coun-
ties, where the damage is estimadt-
ed from 10 to Is per cent.
Between rains the last of the
small grain harvest has been COM
pleted, except for a few late >sown
fields in the northern part OF the
state and stacking and shock thresh-
ing are in full sway in all localities.
Although few fields thus far thresh-
ed have yielded satisfactory returns
the majority of counties report the
machines are showing a heavier run
and much better quality than was
expected.
Although the rains of the last
week have materially benefited pas
lures and hay meadows, they dam
aged to quite an extent the alfalfa
seed crop, which requires dry wealth
er while the pods are forming.
Flax and late potatoes derived
their share of moisture, but for many
fields il came too late. These crops
will be spotted in nearly all parts
of the state and indications are that
the yield will not be up to average.
Slightly improved market prices
for farm products and anticipated
freight rate reductions are reflected
by the manner in which fall plowing
is being undertaken. Hundreds OF
acres in the southern part of the
state are already turned over and the
blackenening fields are rapidly IN
creasing as threshing Is pushed &c
completion.
Cool weather during the last week
has been ideal, reports state, for this
heavy work, although county agents
generally are of the opinion that a
large part of the work will be done
with tractors and that there will be
more motorized plowing outfits in
South Dakota this fall than ever be
fore.

State Laws Make A
Change In Fisca' Year

Pierre, Aug. 10.-The last legisla-
tive session passed Chapter 29S,
Laws of 1921, just little two-line
law, but it changes the provisions of
Section 6333 of the Compiled Laws,
changing the beginning of the fiscal
year for cities and towns from Sept.
l to Jan. 1. The argument is to the
effect that the fiscal year and calen-
dar years should run together, and
the bill went through with no spe-
cial opposition. But now as Sept.
/ approaches the effect is being con-
sidered.
The general holding appears to be
that all levies for city and town pur-
poses which are made Sept. / will
have to be computed to run to Jan.
1, 1923.
This means estimates for 16
