throughout the stat depending upon the
above test ease. a new batch of nearly
5000 eases will 10Y be begun in various

THE NEWS OF H DAY
SOUTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS IN
CONDENSED FORM.
A Sioux City Man Who Has Been
Making n Tour of the State Says
He HASN'T Seen Such Glorious Crop
Prospects in Thirty Years.
South Crops.

John NJ. Mcdonald of Sioux City who
has been making u tour throughthe SOUTH
crn portion of this state gives most in
spring news regarding the crop condi-
tons throughout the section visited. He
says: "There has been scarcely a single
spring time in thirty years that l have not
been into that region, and never in my
life have l observed anything like the
glorious prospects that confront the farm
ers there. Everywhere there is a great
increase in the acreage and the seed is
coming up beautifully. The ground has
been s%plendidly soaked by drizzling rains,
scarcely a drop of which ran off, but all
got away down into the soil.
"Of course the farmers are feeling
happy as clans, and business men in all
