SOUTH DAKOTA o
Damage to Corn Greater Than Wa
Supposed.

The weather during the week was
generally cool, with temperature OF 81
degrees or lower, over considerable OF
the eastern portion Of the state on the
18th, and excepting some scattered
local showers, light except in some
extremely southeastern localities, was
generally dry and favorable for ripen-
ing corn hat was not materially dam
aged by last weeks frosts, and for dry
ing that which was, by the frosts,
stopped in progress and seriously dam
aged.
Reports indicate that the damage
sustained by immature corn by last
weeks frosts was in some localities
somewhat greater than was supposed,
and the prospect Is that a large pro-
portion of the crop will be soft or
chaffy, and that some of the latest will
be nearly worthless. There is, how
ever, considerable fairly good to good
corn; but that which escaped injury
appears to have been less than half
the crop. Some matured corn is being
picked in scattered southeastern fields,
and cutting for fodder is in progress in
many localities.
The t%hreshing Of wheat, oats and
barley, although slightly hindered by
winds, and a little, locally, by rains.
orally far advanced, with generally
satisfactory yields, especially Of oats
and barley, which are yielding unu-
sually we'll. Reports indicate that
wheat, on the whole, will yield above
the average. There is some OF the
grain that, while yet in shock, was at.
I fected in quality by rains in the latter
part of August; but that which was
then in stack is, apparently, generally
turning out in very good condition.
There is still a little fax to be cut
in the northern counties. That which
has been threshed has given fair to
good yields; but the late fax is gen.
orally poor. Not much threshing has
been done.
Haying has progressed f~avorably,
and reports indicate that while the
frosts injured second-growth grass to
some extent, the damage, on the whole
was not material. Pastures are dry
but sufficient.
Early potatoes, which were general
ly a good crop, are being gathered rap
idly. Late potatoes are not SO good
and in a number Of localities are a
light crop.
Fall blowing has progressed we'll
especially in the southern sections
but in the northern counties the soil
is getting a little too dry.
The injury to range grass by frosts
appears to have been slight. Live
stock continues in fine condition, with
a prospect Of ample winter p~asturage
on the ranges.
