Brookings-Present condition of small
grain, except flax, is very encouraging.
Corn is improving rapidly. Outlook is
bright for this section.
DEVILS l.ukc-This section has never
seen SO good a prospect for crops rs at
present. Acreage is greater than any
preceding year. Everybody is jubilant.
Late rains have caused an unprecedented
growth OF grain and hay.

James River valley have not been so
promising since 1882.
Acknowledgements from farmers are
dissimilar. However, crop pro,i ects are
good. and With favorable weather good
harve>ts will be the rule in this section.

ton,
