Basing the assertion on the reports
Cleaned from the two hundred newspa.
pers which fairly represent the various
occupied and productive sections of Da.
kota, the small grain crop has been the
best and the largest ever produced. Ger.
tain localities have met with serious
misfortunes from hail storms and the
crop destroyed within narrow area; but
generally the tiller of the soil has re.
celved an ample reward for the labor
bestowed upon it. The heaviest grain
yield this season, surprising as it may
seem, will be found in that section Of
Dakota which has been derisively termed
the "cow counties" result which is due
to the exceptionally favorable character
OF the weather during the period when
the grain was forming and maturing. A
like favorable temperature may not oc.
cur again for years. Last year was re.
markable in this respect and the grain
natured perfectly and yielded largely
but the present season has seemed to
humor the growing crop at every
critical stage and now delivers
it to the husbandman in bountiful per.
lection. Corn is the only staple con.
cerning which there is yet question
and among the farmers there never wa.
q time of greater expectations. The
corn fields have assumed the appearance
OF young forests; the stalk and foliae.
exhibit wonderful growth and robust
health, the cereal has formed upon th,
cob, covering it to the very tip, and viii
an average August, the crop will matur,
perfectly and give to southern Dakot,
the heaviest yield ever known. A lik,
success has attended the growth of al
manner of vegetables, which thouef
minor matters in their effect upon th,
general prosperity, are indispensable i,
insuring good and economical living Il
man and beast.
In connection with the success which
has attended the cultivation of the sol
IN Dakota this season, the holding o
county fairs for the exhibition OF thes
products will be fruitful of good, be
cause it will tend to bring in from th,
elder states practical men who will pur
chase our lands for cultivation instea,
of mere speculation.

WESTERN ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Growth and Work of this News Gatherer.
Minneapolis Tribune.
This association consists of forty.fiye
leading daily newspapers published in
the central Mississippi valley, within the
circle indicated by Pittsburg on the east,
Minneapolis and st. Paul on the north
and west, and st. Louis and Louisville
on the southwest and south. The history
OF the organization has been a notable
one. 1t grew out of the conviction on
the part OF the leading journalists within
the district named, that the time had
come to cut loose from the apron strlnRs
OF the New York newspapers, to which
western journalism had been fastened
ever since its origin. From that day,
some twenty years ago, until the present
time the progress and growth of the
Western Associated Press have been
rapid and unbroken. The parent New
York association. consisting of the seven
leading journals of New York City,
for time resented and resisted the in.
dependent tendency of western journal
ism, but about 1868 the western organixa.
ton. after long provocation, formally
declared its independence of the New
York concern, and ont of this threatened
dissolution OF relations came a new
arrangement, which fully recognized the
rights and territory OF the Western
Associated Press and practically divided
the news gathering business Of the con.
tinent between the two cooperating
associations. From 1868 until the autumn
OF 1882 this cooperative system con.
tinued in force, but a good deal OF fric.

The Growth Of Dakota.

territory. Dakota is attracting more At
tention than any of her sisters, and in.
deed it may be well doubted whether
her brilliant record for settlements and
improvement ever has been or ever will
be again equalled. Since the Northern
Pacific railroad struck across her wheat
fields which, as yet untitled, awaited
only the plow of the settler to entitle
him to the possession of homestead.
emigrants have been swarming thlther
from every over populated country of
Europe, and the sons of our western
farmers are taking their little families
and migrating in large aumbes, TO gain
for Themselves the extended and yslua-
BILE farming lands, and thus avoid fur.
ther division Of the paternal farm,
Some idea of the growth of this Sec
ton may be formed when il i
considered that within a;year. accordinp
to the agricultural department, the wheat
acreage has increased about fifty pel
cent, or more definitely stated thus,
acreage in 1882, 10000; 1c93, 1,O74OOO
Wheat is one of the profitable FARMING
crops, and as little money is required e
enable one at present to harvest an abun
dant crop, it goes without saying tha,
Dakota will escape the severe hardships
and poverty so familiar an accompsni
ment Of pioneer settling to be looked
upon as almost an insepanbie oblectior
to it. The mass of people now resortine
to Dakota are honest. industrious and
enterprising. For trade, therefore, ne
section seems to offer better Inducements
to men Of energy possessing knowledge
OF general merchandising, but with only
q limited capital to start with.
