Huron, S. D.. July 20.-Forty-five
counties sending reports Of crop condi-

improved condition Of crops in South
Dakota for the week ending Wednes-
day:
During the forepart of the week the
weather was warm. followed during the
latter part by generous rains over the
eastern half of the state. except the ex-5
IRENE northern counties, with cloudy
and cool weather. Over some extreme
southeastern counties the rainfall was
excessive, ard possibly some damage
may result but as yet none of conse-
9uence is reported. The soil moisture
is now considered by many correspond
ents ample TO mature wheat. oats and
barley, and to insure corn against in
Jury to tassel and silk If hot winds do
not occur.
Where not previously worthless or
too seriously damaged TO revive, wheat,
oats and barley have generally i'm
proved, and a plump. healthy kernel Is
Indicated. In theiextreme southeastern
counties fair TO good yield is promised;
elsewhere, poor to fair yield. but good
quality is expected generally. Many
fields are near maturity in the south
eastern counties. and some have been
harvested
Rye harvest Is nearly completed in
most sections; where not too badly
drought injured promising fair yield
and good quality.
Oats and barley harvest is in prog
ress in the middle and southern coun-
ties. Oats. On the whole, are a light
crop, but good quality. Barley aver
ages better than oats in most sections
considerably better in some localities

Corn made good progress the early
part Of the week and fairly good the
latter part. This crop promises we'll

counties, and is exceptionally promising
and unusually advanced in southeastern
and many middle counties. Much of the
crop is in tassel ard silking.
Potatoes have generally improved, es-

Flax has made good progress where

Haying was interrupted by the rains
and cloudy weather, AND in some locali-
ties damage was sustained by that cut

siderably improved. Hay still promises
to be short, especially in a number of
middle eastern, northern and Black
Hills counties, but millet is generally
promising. and the rains, have made it
possible for many fields of wheat, oats
and barley that We're before considered
worthless to be worth cutting for hay.
