LOSSES ON CROPS
Excessive Moistude in South Dakota
Is Fast Making the Situation
Critical.
Nothing Can Be Done in the Fields
More Rain Falls in North
Dakota.

Special to The journal.
Canton, s. D., Aug. 28.-The past three
days have been most disastrous ones for
South Dakota. 1t has rained almost contin-
ually and over two inches of water fell in the
past forty eight hours. The steady, soaking
precipitation is well calculated to play havoc
with small grain which has already suffered
materially from too much rain and has be-
come seriously damaged.
Unless the present weather changes to
permanently dry conditions the splendid crops
of wheat, oats and barley that were harvested,
but are still in the fields unstacked or I'M
threshed, will be completely ruined.
The corn crop also is in a critical condi-
ton About wo weeks of good ripening
weather is needed to save the crop, while
every day of rain which retards its maturity
hastens it to the point of destruction by
frost. ~ ...-.
If the weather turns favorable within few
days and remains SO for two weeks this state
will produce the heaviest corn crop it has
ever had -...-. . .-. . ,... .... ..s.

at Houghton.
Special to The Journal.
Houghton, Mich, Aug. 28.-Whether to
vote to bond the village Of Houghton for
$500, 900 for an improved waterworks sys-
tenn is the absorbing topic. The special
election to be held Aug. 81 has brought
the question to a focus, but Houghton-
ties seem divided.
Should the money be voted the bonded
indebtedness Of Houghton will be more
than $125,o00, which some business men
argue is too heavy load for so small
a town. The improvements will give
Houghton supply Of pure spring water
and adequate fire protection, without
which the people will have to struggle
along under heavy insurance rates.
