HURON, S. D., June Crop conditions in
South Dakota are of the best. Marked i'm

NORTH DAKOTA CROPS.
BISMARCK, N. D., June 2-The past week
opened with very high temperature in all
parts of the state, which continued until
Wednesday, when heavy rains fell in all SEC
tons except the northwestern, after which
the weather turned COOL the temperature
going near the frost line and finally reaching
1t In some places in the central and southern
part OF the state, especially on low lands,
Sunday night. Grains of all kinds are doing
very we'll, and wheat has Stooled much bet
ter than was expected the first of last week,
owing to the cold weather, and prospects
past week have done some slight damage to
grain on low lands, but not enough to
amount to anything. Nothing is now left to
SOW except fax which will still be sown for
the next two weeks, although the bulk of
1t Is now in. Wild fruit Is in blossom In al
parts of the state and promises an abundant
crop; grass is coming up and covers the
ground so that it is now used for pasturage
and looks well for good hay crop.
