Crop Bulletin,

Following is the bulletin issued by
Director Glenn, local forecast official
of the weather bureau, summarized
from the reports of observers in
thirty nine counties for the week end
ing last Monday.
The temperature during the week
vas much above the normal for the
state. The days were, as a rule, very
warm TOR the time of year. The &C.
cumulated excess of daily mean tenn.
perature for the week was So degrees
at Huron and 81 degrees at Pierre,
being an average daily excess oil
about IL and 10 degrees respectively
The direct rays OF the sun were
very oppressive on several days, and
there were several unusually warm
| mig hts.
There was considerably more than
the average amount of sunshine.
The showers that occurred, so far
as heard from were widely scattered
and generally light, although there
were some fairly good local rains in
some OF the southeastern counties.
Reports indicate that the showers
afforded but little relief to vegitat on,
except locally, and whers good rains
had occurred the proceeding week
also, as the ground has been very dry
and absorbs moisture very quickly.
A few localities report pastures, and
unmatured late corn and Vegetables.
Most OF the early corn has matured
and considerable has been gathered.
Late corn is nearly all so far matur.
ed as to he out OF the way of danger
from frost. and considerable has
been cut for fodder. 1t appears that
the frost OF the It'll inst, was more
severe in some localities than was in
dictated by last weeks reports.
Potatoes are nearly all matursd
and are being gathered.
Haying IS reported as nearly com.

Over much OF the state the wild grass
is already getting very dry in many
localities, and green pasturage is
short.

bought for about $4,000 and put in
good order for occupancy.
Mr.. Jay recommended that this re
quest should be granted, saying that
the expense of $4,000 for the cottage

CARE OF THE WOUNDED.

New system to be Put I'm Operation
I'm the Navy.
An order will be issued in a day or
two by the navy department laying
down directions for the removal of
those injured to the sick bay.
This important subject has been al
most neglected by the authorities since
the formation of the new navy, and
each surgeon on board ship has been
left TO devise his own method Of get
ting the wounded from the decks to
the operating room and there is a de-
ficient system on board each ship, the
men constantly receiving instruction
In new methods.
To obtain n uniform system for the
removal Of the wounded below decks
the medical bureau of the navy de-
partment recently gave consideration
to the subject and determined to place
a new system IN operation.
One Of the main difficulties in the
successful lowering of the wounded
from the decks to the sick bay is the
small patches in the new navy. Tn
der the plan contemplated ordinary
hammocks will be distributed around
the spar and gun decks. Attendants
viii place each wounded man In a
hammock and take two turns of the
flashing under the armpits so as to
prevent him from falling out. A long
stretch bar will be attached to the
hammock. and its occupants will be
lowered feet first. Trials of this sys-
TEN have already been held on board
the Chicago, and the results were a I
sfactory. Practice with the new sys-
ten on board all United States men
of-war will begin when the order is
promulgated.-New York Herald.
