South Dakota Crop,.

Huron, S. D., Aug. 19.-Director Glenn. in
todays crop bulletin says:
In several counties hail storms of limited
area occurred, doing some damage to late
crops. The rain interfered to some extent
with harvesting, stacking and haying but
not materially. Harvest OF small grain is
very near completion in the central and
progressing rapidly in the northern coun-
ties. Stacking is fer toward completion in
the southern and central countless and con-
siderable threshing has been done. Reports
continue to indicate that rye and barley are
as rule, very good crops. Reports as to
wheat and oats vary, some counties report
ing excellent results, while others report
fair to very good. While. the generally cool
weather during the week was not the most
favorable for maturing corn, this crop did
well and has steadily progressed. In the
southern counties much of the early corn
is beginning to dent in many localities and
the later is generally in the roasting ear
stage. In the central and northern coun-
ties the earlier is generally in the roasting
ear stage. There is some report of the warm
weather and lack of ample moisture of pre-
ceding weeks reducing the ear in localities
but this complaint is not at all general and
the crop is the most promising for years.
Flax has done quite well generally, consid-
cradle has been cut with very good results
and the remainder is rapidly nearing ma
turity. Late potatoes have been more or
less benefited by the weather during the
week and promise very good crop in local
tiles. There is some report CT fall plowing
in localities in the mos southern counties
and it is thought that threshing will become
quite general this week.

serve will be rapidly increased. The
