through the counties along the river
north of Hughes, where he has been
selecting school indemnify lands, and
he reports crops of all kinds as look ing
grand. The good crops are not only in
spots, but every field looks fine. Sew
eral good showers during the past week
have placed the surface ground IN fine
condition. and the heavy early rains
have left the ground underneath full
of moisture.
The danger of hot winds is about
over. rs they generally occur the last
OF June, and the ground is now too
much soaked and the, vegetation too
green for any such disaster to occur.
Some OF the. farmers are now OF the
opinion that they will get a good crop
even II no more rain is had.
The grass upon the range in Western
south Dakota Is more luxuriant Than
ever known before Stock OF all kinds
Is in fine condition, and as soon as the
round-upS are completed the shipping
season will begin. The hay crop is in
exhaustible this year. and ranchmen
will have an easy time in preparing for
