DAKOTA CORN LOOKS BAD
Pioneer ForteI1s Bumper Small
Grain Crop Around sioux
Falls.


SIOUX FALLS, S. d. June 14-(speciaI) }
Charles E. Hill OF Valley Springs. a
pioneer resident of the state, who has annu-
ally made careful study of crop conditions
at this season of the year. peredicts that
especially this part of South Dakota will
this year raise bumper crop of small
grain, but that the outlook for a good corn
crop is by no means encouraging
80 far as quantity and quality is con-
cerned," said he, "the small grain crop will
this season be the best for many years,
Corn, however, will have hard time to
mature before killing frosts come in the
fall.
Il have noticed that the direction from
which the wind blows when the seasons
change from winter to spring invaria bly,
gauges the direction of the prevailing
winds for the entire summer.
when spring commenced this year the
wind blew coldly from the northeast and
has since continued in that direction the
greater part of the time, indicating an
unusually cool summer.
THE frost on the night of the 10th inst.
also bears out the belief that this sum-
mer will be similar to last, when frosts
were experienced every month except July,
and that corn, generally speaking, will
likely be caught by frost before 1t ma
lures.
you have probably noticed that the
frost this month came almost to day at
the same time as the frost in June Of last
year"

Canal Bothers President.
The president today sent for William Nell
son Cromwell, attorney for the Panama
Canal company. Mr.. Cromwell spent half
an hour with the president in the forenoon
and the conference was resumed by ap-
pointment at . D. m.
1t is understood the president is consid-
erably concerned over the canal outlook.
The administration is not in the least dis
posed to be impatient with Colombia, but
is willing to allow it a reasonable time to
execute its obligations. At the same time,
the Washington authorities regard these
obligations as more binding than those Of
an ordinary treaty and cannot admit the
right Of the Colombian government to re-
cede from them. IL not carried out by rat
ificauon of the canal treaty, which comes
before the Colombian congress at its meet
ing this month, the United States hopes
Colombia will find some other means of
executing its obligations to this country as
regards the Panama canal.
Mr.. Cromwell declined to see callers after
his conference with the president.
