The wheat stands over five feet high

strength 10 prevent the wheat from
lodging in wet weather. This is n
of the advantages macaroni wheat has
over the present variety used in this
country. Mr.. Holbrook said the indi-
cations are that macaroni wheat will
yield nearly twice as much grain per
acre ard that the berry is much larger.
The variety will be ready to harvest
in about ten days.

HURON COLLEGE GETS DONATION
New York Man Puts the coIIeoe Out

of Debt.
Huron college has received another
liberal cash donation; it comes from
Horace E. Sillman of Cohoes, New
York, and is sufficient to pay off all re-
naming accounts for current expenses
OF the institution for the year just
closed, and allows the college to be-
gin the new year free from debt.
Much extra expense was made the
past year because of the necessity Of
fitting up the fourth story of the COL
lege building for dormitory and school
purposes; this was occasioned by the
unexpected large increase in attend
ance.
The Presbyterian board Of aid for
colleges at its late meeting appropri-
ated as a special gift from the treas
ury, in addition to their regular ap-
%propriatiin of $4,000, the sum of 81, 500
for the current expenses of the college
for the present year, which sum, with
that just received from DIR. Silliman,
are very acceptable gifts and greatly
appreciated by the faculty and friends
of the institution.

the food and to my surprise I began to

YEARS BUSINESS.
The Land Office at Pierre Had t,t57
Filings.

Filings.
For the year ending June 80, 1857
homestead filings were made in the
Pierre land Office, and for the same
year 1873 filings were made in the
C~hamberlaia Office. No figures are at
hand for the business of the Rapid
City Office for that time. but with the
record Of filings for several months for
a basis, 1000 would not be an ex-
cessive estimate as to the filings at
that Office. making nearly 1000 quarter
sections taken in the three districts
for the year just closed. This means,
with school sections eliminated, that
an area of practically thirty townships
has been settled in the last year. That
number would mean a settler on every
quarter section of thirty townships IL
they were all located together. Even
with the immense territory open to
settlement west of the river, that rate
would soon make a decided impress
sion. Many of these people are max
ing the first venture al crop raising in
that section of the state this year, with
good prospects up to the present date.
With average weather they can feel
certain OF a good return for their ef-
forts, and unless they fail, the fact that
crops can be raised west of the river
means that the settlement of that part
of the state will be more than doubled
before the end OF June next year.
Calls for permanent school funds for

average of several weeks, only a little

Colon, July 10. - The latest news

has been a marked change in favor OF
accepting the Panama canal treaty.
T~hirty-four congressman are now
known to favor its ratification and
forty-six are opposed to 1t. II is ex.
pected, however, that there will be a
change in the ranks of the latter. 1t
is likely that a modification of the
treaty will be asked for. This will in

recent rains have made a wonder
o., improvements in crop conditions
a the state generally, especially in
sections where lack OF moisture dur
,ng May and the early part of June had
~unfayorably affected small grain and
corn.
For instance. at Blunt and that vi
entity the prolonged dry weather dur
ing the period stated had affected
.rons to such an extent that it was
generally feared they would be almost
an utter failure. Frequent rains,
however, have recently visited that
region, and crops have recovered to
snch a remarkable degree that 1t is
now believed that small grain will
Weld better than during any year since
1881.
What is true of Blunt and vicinity
"a also true Of other parts of the state
which suffered from lack of moisture
during May and a part of June.
Only some unforeseen general calam-
ity. such as a storm of wide extent
and unusual severity, can now prevent
South Dakota as a whole from har-
yesting n of the largest crops in it's
history.
The government bureau says of con-
ditions:
The weather during the week
warm days and well distributed rains
was very favorable for the growth of
all vegetation, except that there was
some damage by hail in several coun-
ties. There are, however, some linn
tied localities in a few counties where
grass and small grains stand in need
of rain.
The rains Of this and the preceding
week caused decided Improvement in
all crops in the northern counties that
were previously affected by drouth,
and in many localities a greater inn
proyement than was thought to be
possible.
Wheat, oats, barley and spelt are
generally doing well, but there is con-
siderable complaint of lodging and
rust in part sof some eastern counties.
No apparent damage from rust is re-
ported.
The harvesting of rye is In prog
ress, and 1t is generally a good crop.
Barley is filing, and some of the earli-
est has been cut in southern counties.
Wheat and oats are generally in head
or heading, and some early oats are
beginning to ripen, with generally
good heads, except in Northern coun-
ties.
Corn has generally made rapid and
healthy growth, and in the southeast
ern counties considerable of the early
Is laid by and is tasseling; cultiya-
ton has generally progressed favor
ably, but some southeastern fields are
weedy.
Flax has generally done very well,
and much of the crop is in blossom.
Potatoes have generally made good
progress; new potatoes are becoming
plentiful on the market.
Pastures, alfalfa, millet and hay
grass are generally in improved cor
dition. Early haying is in progress in
the middle and southern counties, but
was retarded somewhat by rains. The
hay outlook is much improved in the
previously drouthy northern counties,
and is generally good in the southern
counties.
Fruits have generally done well, and
gardens are generally very good.
