State of the Crops.
Special to the Globe
MT. VERNON, July 2.-Considerable
damage has been done to growing crops
north of us by hall, but aside from small
strip this wiped out we will as usual get
away with all other sections OF this LOCALITY
on crops. One farmer commences on MS
rye on Monday next and has large held,
the finest I ever saw. Wheat very promlS-
ing, heading and filling well, and will yield
twenty-five to twenty EIGHT bushels per
acre. Oats and barley as good as we ever
have raised, while corn will equal the great
Missouri valley of Iowa. With con-
tinued good season we will harvest from
eixty to eighty bushels per acre. Flax only
fair.
GAM VALLEY.
It is getting extremely dry, and we begin TO
fear for the result. Wheat is now looking
we'll, is headed, and with a little rain would
fill well. Flax very backward, but corn
promises we'll Grass is better than in years.
1t now has the appearance OF rain, ana IL IL
comes we are assured OF grand harvest
PUCKwANEE.
Harvest is about upon us and our crop will
this year be double that OF last year. we
ought to have little rain, but as we are ac-
customed to get along without it, we do not
expect much. Corn is going to be the heavy
crop, and the fact is demonstrated that South
Dakota is corn country. Wheat will go
twenty bushels oats fifty rye forty TO fifty,
and barley thirty to forty. Flax not very
promising, late, small backward.
KIMBALL.
Very promising crop this year. and as last
year was nearly failure farmers are JUDI
liant. 1t is estimated that the crop will be-
Wheat 80 bushels per acre, oats TO, rye 3U
and barley 40, fax poor, corn big. Rain
would do us good.
WATERBURY,.
While rain would be benefit, still. as yet,
there is nothing suffering. Wheat will yield
20 bushels per acre anyway and oats so. Corn
is looking well. The average is SO per cent.
larger than last year. Flax poor. Some rye
for the first time and promises well. Few
fields OF barley reported good.
ALPENA.
We need rain, but small grain will be a
auod crop without it. except fax, and it is too
ate to make good crop. Corn is remarkably
fnes
CROW KAKE.
If we get good shower within three or
four days we shall have an enormous yield OF
wheat. Rye will be cut next week, and, al
though early the first season for rye, it is
very promising. Oats are heavy, and corn
also, the latter in many cases has been laid
by. Flax, in most cases, small and late
HORSESHOE LAKE.
Wheat harvest will commence in about ten
DAYS and looks as well as in 'S4, when we got
from twenty-five to thirty bushels; oats prom
Using, rye nearly ready to harvest. Some
fields rather thin but usually good, some
barley looking well, and corn promises 8
large yield if we get rain soon. all fields have
been worked twice, some three times, and laid
by.
WASHINGTON SPRINGS.
Crops throughout Jerauld county are more
promising than usual, snd we expect such q
crop as will compare favorably with any
county in the territory. Rye will be harry
ested next week, is very large, heads well
filled, long and stands well. Barley looking
well. Wheat promises twenty to twenty-five
bushels. Oats sixty. Corn much farther adj
Vanced than ever before, and with an ordi-
to sixty bushels. Rain would do us good but
as yet nothing suffering.
WASHINGTON.
We need rain, but wheat will make good
crop without it. Corn in good condition and
a much larger acreage been planted than
ever before. Some rye, and is promising.
But little barley, but what there is looks well.
With q little more rain, oats would make
heavy yield. Flax late and backward.
wooNsoCKET.
Wheat headed, filling well, and with one
more good rain would yield twenty-five bush
els. Oats will, under same circumstances, &C
up to seventy-five bushels. Rye will be har-
vested next week-large crop. Barley in good
condition. Corn, in some cases, has been
worked the last time, is of fine color, but few
missing hills, and will make the largest crop
ever harvested in the territory. Flax mostly
late, small and not promising. Some fields not
yet out Of ground. Such cannot make q
crop.
LETCHER.
I, -,,;n
stands four to four and half feet high, long
heads well filed: promises well. Wheat well
headed, and one good shower would insure a
heavy yield. Oats good Corn promises well
many fields laid by. Flax looking badly;
small and generally promises not an extra
crop.
If it long continues without rain we shall
all burn up. The drouth is telling on oul
sandy soil. Our prospects have been very
good until past two days. Wheat is heading
and harvest will be upon us by the 18th, bu
we fear is getting so dry our grain will no
ill. Corn appears to be standing the droutf
better than any other crop, and flax tn,
worst.
DIANA.
Give us little more rain and we will give
you such q crop as one railroad cannot trans
port. We are not suffering, but a showe
would help wheat and oats amazingly. AL
expect to harvest a very heavy crop. Corn
never in Dakota looked as well as it doe
now.
BRIDGEWATBlt.
We begin to need rain very much, aud i
we do not get it soon, much of the late-sowi
small grain will be badly injured, and in SOM
cases ruined. Rye is well along and will bt
good crop, but wheat, although very prom
ising, we fear is not filing well. 1t is nov
In the milk. In some fields the straw is turn
Ing white, or is being burned. Flax is not q
good Il crop as usual. A good rain would ye
save us.
