Dakota Crops.

MASON CITY, IA, June 17.-Not-
withstanding the flattering crop re-
ports sent out from Dakota relative TO
the anticipated abundant yield, small
grain advices received this morning
from a good portion of Western and

fully half of the acreage was sown in
wheat and oats. Corn does not yet
