DROUGHT NOT SERIOUS IN ITS EFFECT
A Letter From the State Agricultural
College States That the Drought
Came Too Late to Have Bad Effect
Upon the Crops.

South Dakota has Jared excellently,
in comparison with the other states
in this part of the country, during the
hot and dry weather of the past weeks.
report from the state agricultural
college, located at Bookings, was re-
ceived by D. A. Pool today, and accord
ing to it the grains were too far matur-
ed to be damaged when the drought
began. The report and the postscript
which follows it, are as follows:
State Agricultural College,
Brookings, S. D., July IT, 1891.
On July - the thermometer register
ed 100; on the 18th, 1902; and on the
14th, 100. This intense heat was &C
companied by an exceedingly dry south
wind with an average velocity Of IA
miles per hour. During the hottest
portion of each day the wind velocity
ranged from 20 to 80 miles per hour.
On July 16 a thorough examination
of representative fields was made with
the following results.
LIST. Nearly all oats and barley are
now ripe and were to far advanced to
be damaged to any appreciable extent,
the only effect being to hasten their
ripening.
determined by three factors, the char
acter of the soil, the cultivation of the
same, and the stage OF growth of the
wheat. The first of these is the great
est failure. Wheat and light, sandy soil
or fields with heavy porus sub-soil is
damaged about Is per cent, in extreme
cases running as high as 40 per cent
or over. Upland fields are injured
in some cases uniformly and in some
cases in spots, every variation of the
soil being apparent. This injury shows
in two ways-by tipping the heads and
by the formation of small ,shrunken
kernels. Lowlands with retentive
soils show no injury whatever. Late
sown wheats appear to be hurt less
than the earlier ones. AS conserva-
tive statement we should place the in
| jury to wheat at Is per cent of the
crop. This still leaves the crop better
than the average.
! I'd. Corn, flax and millet have not
been injured as yet To them the hot
weather has so far proven beneficial.
They have made strong growth and
promise a good crop.
Sd. The hot wave which has swept
over the northwestern and middle
states has, perhaps, done a more gen
! eral and greater damage than is now
apparent here. robbing the soil of the
moisture which, under ordinary condi-
tons. would have been sufficient to
mature the heavy growing crop.
E. c. Chilcott.
Vice Director of Agriculture.
P. S.--The above report speaks for
itself and needs no further comment
from me. l would, however, say that
on Monday morning, the 18th the wind
changed to the north and has since been
cool and pleasant, with light showers.
The weather still remains quite hot,
4 but the breeze is, as | said, cool and
favorable. With continuing conditions
as at present there should be no fur
Their damage. To be sure, occasional
showers would prove beneficial in
freshening up the grain and lowering
the temperature.

This years experience with his or
advocate of the dust spray than ever.
A summary of his work and results is
certainly interesting. During the sea-
son he sprayed three times. On June
% the most disastrous hailstorm in
many years swept over Argentine and
the country to the west. Kansas City
got only little of it. On the John
son farm it ragged for AN hour and a
half, beating berry bushes to the
ground, destroying grapes, and leav-
Ing its mark on almost every apple in
the orchard. On the farms of the non.
sprayers most of the fruit was knock,
ed from the trees. The apples in Mr..
Johnson's orchard. although beaten by
the hail, stayed on the tree. Only a
few of them fell. Just recently Mr..
Johnson harvested part of his crop,
in all about ten bushels. In these ten
bushels there was about one peck OF
culls. All the others were perfect APP.
pies, good, marketable fruit. A care
full examination of all these apples
fails to disclose a worm. The dust
spray still clings to the fruit. The eulia
are not all imperfect apples, but toy
small to be salable. The spraying took
not to exceed three hours st ssch tine
and the cost was about $3.50, small
investment considering the returns.
The apples on the trees are in excel.
lent condition, although somewhat
small on account of the drought.

He offered to give S25,000 to purchase and equip the prop erty known as the Polo rink, to be used for the working boys of New Ha- ven, provided S75,000 needed to com plete the erection of our present new building is pledged on or before Sep tember 1, 1901. This property adjoins our present building site, hence is very desirable, as it will given an entrance on Chapel street.
 The first amount received toward this S75,0o0 came in the form of legacy from Alfred F. Blakeslee At the third annual banquet of the physical department, held May 1, 1901, the young men of the association subscribed $500 and a committee was appointed to so- licit from all the members of the as- sociation sufficient funds to equip the gymnasium and locker rooms.
 One of the most important factors in creating a widespread public interest in the new building and it's requirements has been the Women's Auxiliary. Early in the spring of 1901 the ladies began to raise funds to equip the building. By entertainments of various kinds includ- ing "Egypta" they have now on deposit to their credit over $1,500. The furn- ishings, which the ladies intend to pro- vide, will cost $5,500, and there is no question but that the amount needed will be raised within the required time.
 Up to this time $1S5,122 has been pledged by 133 givers classified as fol- loWs

 You will see by the figures presented that in order to secure the building for the working boys and newsboys of New Haven we must secure within thirty days from date s65,OOO. We firmly believe that the citizens of New Haven will not allow the conditional pledge of $25.00O to be, lost. It is true we did lose s40000 during the early part of the canvass but this apparent loss proved gain in that the citizens of New Haven more than made good this amount by making exceptionally large pledges, as fifty-two people in this city pledged $173ooO,
 In closing this report we desire to thank the citizens of New Haven for their kind words and practical encour- agement; the ladies for the splendid work and influences which they have already shown in this building canvass; the press for the many delightful ar ticles which have been the means of giving intelligent information, and thereby winning for the association many friends.
 If those who have not yet contributed toward the new building will do what they can there is no question but that the building will be dedicated free from debt.
