the wheat stands over five feet high
and the heads are filling in fine shape.
Ire stem is quite rigid and has the
strength to prevent the wheat from
lodging in wet weather. This is one
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

HURON COLLEGE GETS DONATION
New York Man Puts the College Out
of Debt


Huron college has received another
liberal cash donation; it comes from
Horace f. 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 it's 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 $500
for the current expenses of the college
for the present year, which sum, with
that just received from. DR.. Silliman,
are very acceptable gifts and greatly
appreciated by the faculty and friends
of the institution.

BRIGHT CROP OUTLOOK.
Small Grain Will Yield Better Than
Any Year Since 1881.

Any ICdT ohiSS
pacent rains have made a wonder
ful improvements in crop conditions
IN the state generally, especially in
soctions where lack Of moisture dur
ing May and the early part of June had
unfavorably affected small grain and
corn.
For instance, at Blunt and that vi
cinity the prolonged dry weather dur
ing the period stated had affected
crops to such an extent that 1t was
generally feared they would be almost
an utter failure. Frequent rains,
however, have recently visited that
region, and crops have recovered to
such a remarkable degree that II is
now believed that small grain will
yield better than during any year since
1881.
Is 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-
fly, such as a storm of wide extent
and unusual severity, can now prevent
South Dakota as a whole from har-
vesting one Of the largest crops in its
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 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 i'm
provement 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 it is generally a good crop.
Barley is filling, 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 l'orthern 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; cultiva-
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 con-
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 we'll, and
gardens are generally very good.
