Continued Good Reports From the
Farming Region Hfereabouts-The
Wheat Harvest Begun.
Good reports concerning the crops
still continue to come to the surface and
that Yankton county will be one of the
few counties which will yield largely of
grain is now assured.
Warren Osborne visited his farm west
of town yesterday, and his corn is seven
feet high and was planted on the 26th
day of May last.
n. w. Burns, who went out Saturday
morning in the interest of Scougal's
banking house, has changed his mind.
He had little hope of much of a yield
when he started and when he returned
he was Offering large odds, with no
takers, that this years crop in Yankton
county would be the best ever raised
here. He travelled eastward then south
ward, then westward, over forty miles of
road, making careful examinations all
along the route. He brought in numer-
Gus samples of wheat and oats to prove
his assertions. Mr.. Burns talked with
numerous farmers and they all felt that
their crops were safe.
M. ID. Moore, one OF the largest farm
ers in eastern Yapkton county, makes
the assertion that the east half of this
county will raise more aud better crops
this year than ever before.
s. w. Howe, who lives northwest
from Yankton, was surprised yesterday,
on making a critical examination, to find
his crops in good condition.
A. Sheridan Jones, who came down
from Hutchinson county Saturday, says
everything is all right in his section and
between here and there.
W. @. Brown, of the Hurley Herald,
who was in Yankton over Sunday, re-
ports Turner county crops as excellent
and says the farmers over there are all
feeling comfortable.
George Devoe, living eight miles
northeast of Yankton, has cut his
timothy and from seven acres he has
secured fifteen tons of fine hay.
Farmers will be we'll into their wheat
harvest this week. Grain is ripening
rapidly and to secure it will keep them
busy during the next two weeks.
