jumper, president of the First National
bank, made his annual estimate today.
based on private advices from all parts
OF the state of the wheat yield Of
South Dakota. He makes the acreage
2,6SOO0O and average yield 1-3 bushels
per acre, or total yield Of %, 34O, 900
bushels. From this should be deducted
per cent, destroyed by numerous and
destructive storms Of wind and hail
which have been unusually severe this
summer, and the total yield of the state
amounts to 1928, 900 bushels, or over
100000 less than last year The crop
Is, he says, very much like that Of 1891
which was very promising when ready
for the reaper, but sadly disappointing
as it came from the thresher. Corn
potatoes, hay and all kinds of roots are
the best the state has ever raised. Oats.
barley and flax are fair.
1t develops that the hail storm which
traversed the south part Of the county
last night did a vast amount of dam
age. About 40 per cent Of the wheat
was uncut, and in Gem, RandelI and
other townships this was largely wiped
out of existence. Some damage was
done to buildings
