There is no danger of a coal short

the consensus of opinion of the loca

of the dealers predicted that with the
normal operation of the mines the
coal will soon begin TO come in.
THE best way for Topekans to
avoid a coal shortage this winter
would be to order half of the winters

December before buying the other
half. In this way a rush at the be-

HARVEST ON
ABOVE AVERAGE
Winter Rye and Wheat I'm Shock
Cutting Barley and Oats

AS the binders enter the harvest
fields to take care of the 1922 grain
crop the yields in Hand county are
estimated TO be above the average and
OF good quality.
Winter rye and wheat are now In
shock, and the yield is expected to
be excellent. Winter wheat has been
more generally tried out this year
than heretofore, and good reports
come in, ranging all the way in pre-
dictions from 25 to 40 bushels per
acre. Rye Is also a good crop, with an
estimate of Is to 35 bushels. The
success of these winter grains will
considerably increase the acreage
sown this coming fall.
The majority of barley fields are
also In shock, and the yield is estim-
ated at so to 40 bushels. The earliest
fields OF oats are being cut this week,
with promise of a good yield.
A very few fields of spring wheat
have been cut, but the main wheat
harvest will not begin till next week.
There are many good fields of spring
wheat, and the yield is expected to be
above the average. A few spots Of
"hoSh iuot VI iCpOltCu, uut IL 10
generally believed IL has come too late
to any serious loss to the CROP.
The acreage of spring wheat is being
reduced.
Two good crops of alfalfa have been
cut, and a great crop of wild hay is
ready for the harvest.
Corn, which is now Hand county's
largest and most important crop, is
perhaps the best stand ever known at
this date. 1t is strong, Of good color,
well cultivated, and some fields are
tasseling. The large fields in sight
everywhere suggest that central South
Dakota has finally learned the game
of corn farming, stock raising and
dairying,-which means better farm
improvements. better roads, mors and
better schools and churches, more
conveniences and comforts of life
were possible to the pioneer
wheat farmers who a~nxiously watch
ed the hot winds of early years shrivel
up their only crop of wheat.
A large acreage of potatoes promise
q fair crop OF the tubers.
This year IL is expected that the
harvest will be Immediately followed
by fall blowing TO a greater extent
than " before known here. And
the earlier 1t is done the better are
results.

Over 1000 Hail Claims
Filed Since July s Storm

More than 1000 claims of loss by hail
have been received by the State Hail
Insurance department at Pierre, fol-
lowing the storm of July 9Th. This
sets a new record for the number of
claims received by the department in
one day and brings the total for the
season to more than $500. Last years
total of 1900, claims was reached dur
ing the season.
while our records show there were
at least 1000 farmers injured by Sat-
urday's storm, IL must be borne in
mind that only one out Of every four
farmers carry state hail insurance and
therefore the actual number was
around 1000" declared w. N. VanCamp
of the state insurance commission.
First returns received from adjust
ors working in Gregory county and
vicinity, which was hit by the severe
storm last week place the losses all
the way from 100 per cent on rye and
wheat to so per cent on corn.
