The summary Of crop conditions for
fo. ty-nine counties of South Dakota sent
in TO the Huron weather bureau for the
week ending the 9th inst, is as follows:
Average temperature about normal;
precipitation considerably below norma.
The combined effects of frost, deficient
rainfall and high temperature were an
favorable to all vegetation, except that
the recent hot weather was probably
favorable to the 10 ~,alities previously
favored with good rains. The frosts
were generally injurious to corn, pota-
toes, flax, barley, gardens and fruits, and
in many localities to oats and grasses 8.
The growing corn and potatoes were
mostly cut to the ground; considerable
unprotected delicate and some hardy
vegetables destroyed. Fruit very gen
orally was badly injured and in most To-
c~alities destroyed. Repeated frosts and
the absence of ample and general rains
prevented field crops from recovering as
rapidly as was anticipated, but some To-
calities report prompt recovery and small
grain looking especially well. Most re-
ports, however, indicate that the recov-
cry from the effects of the unfavorab!e
weather has been very slow and is uncer-
tain unless general rains fall soon and
no more frosts occur. There was con-
siderable corn, potatoes ard flax not yet
up when the frosts occurred, and these
will probably only sustain delay in COM
ing. Some corn Is being replanted and
flax resown. There is no report of re-
planting potatoes.
The wheat at this date averages
healthy and fairly we'll stooled, with the
leaves more or less cut by frosts; con-
siderable oats suffering, and corn and
potatoes damaged and full recovery not
yet certain. Except in a few localities
rain is needed, and in some counties
badly. Wild grass was affected more by
frosts and the subsequent deficiency in
rainfall ithan was supposed. Russian
thistles were we'll set back and in many
localities killed to the ground. Cut
worms are injuring corn in many local.
tiles.

ORIGIN OF THE BANJO,
4 Primitive Instrument In 1910, With It's
Own Peculiar Airs.

o"h IeCuiihT alFs.
The banjo was in use long before the
day Of Joe Sweeney. 1t was principally
played by the negroes, and was indeed a
rude and simple instrument. The first
one l eve saw was made in this way:
A large gourd covered with a raw sheep
skin served for the drum. and the strings
were of horsehair, pulled from a white
horses tail 1t had only four strings. l
am confident that Sweeney added the
bass string. My fathers carriage driver
was a banjo player, He played two or
three changeleSs tunes on one cord. |
saw Joe Sweeney for the first time about
1912, while l was at school at Prince
Edward Court House. He and his brother
Sam We're together. Joe led ON the VIC
lin and Sam played the banjo. Both had
good voices, especially Sam, a rich, full
baritone of great sweetness and power.
Even at this distant day l can recall
some Of the tunes they sang-''Old Dan
Tucker, ""Do Johnnie Booker, "Juli-
anna Johnson, ooh. Susanna" THE
Blue Tailed Fly, Jim Crack Corn"
and Il Don't Care
When l saw the brothers again, the
character of the music was somewhat
changed, and was much more sentiment
tai and sympathetic. They rendered such
pieces as Dearest May" Rosa Lee,"
"Annie of the Vale, Nellie Was a
Lady and ELLEN Bayne," with Won
derful effect. These airs were melodious
and concordant, and often brought tears
to the eyes of the audience. Joe Sweeney
was above the medium size, and of
fine proportions. He had light hair and
a ruddy complexion. He had wonderful
facial powers. He could change his ex-
preston in a moment from grave to
comic.
Sweeney as a negro delineator was in
imitable. He knew the negro we'll, and
WAS perfectly natural, and, like Polk
Miller, never overdid his work. One of
his performances always excited ap-
plause. His old Virginia breakdown, a
jig tune, he danced, and made his own
music with his banjo hung around his
neck with a string. Sweeney was entire
ly uneducatcd, but he was naturally
bright, and he often made smart local
hits that brought down the house.
Sweeney gave notoriety to the banjo and
brought it into popular favor. His habits
were i~mprovident, and he was the sub
ject OF many temptations. He lived a
life of unseltish generosity and died in
poverty. He spent his last days in the
county of A~ppomattox. I have heard
this story about him. l do not vouch for
it's truth:
Before he died, his mind wandering,
he said to his sister: Come here. The
old banjo is out of tune, the screws are
slipping, and the bridge is about to
fall These were the last words of the
old fellow, who had charmed two con-
tinents with his melody and song. His
brother San was in the cavalry service
during the war. He often played for
General Stuart, and the brave troopers
would dance to his merry music as he
sang:
eff you want a happy time, jine the
cavalry"
/ never heard of him after the war
