King Corn in South Dakota Is Making
Unusual Progress and VIII &c
Bumper Crop.

fARXA a $50 - 49, &@AF 49,
crop throughout South Dakota, under
the influence OF the warm weather dur
Ing the past ten days, a mad a won
derful growth and Is now reported 10
NE up to its usual size az this time
OF the year. In practically the whole
state there is no fear expressed IN re-
gard 70 corn maturing, and unless all
signs fail the yield this year will be
far ahead OF that OF last year,
Nothing but unusually early frosts
OF a killing character a low prevent
the state raising a good corn crop. AS
far north as Okoboji, SILLY county, corn
has attained a height Of six feet n is
tasseling out.
The farmers eff South Dakota are
now devoting every available moment
TO the work of harvesting their barley,
rye and early oats and preparing for
wheat harvest, which viii be in pro-
gress in many portions of the southern
part of the state before the close OF
the present week.
Coltditions in general are still re-
ported to be good, Crops have been IN
jured In some localities by lack of
moisture earlier in the season but in
the state at large conditions could not
we'll be more favorable than at present.
All reports agree that the crop, gener-
ally speaking, will be better than that
OF last year.
Several localities where last year the
r was short because the rainfall was
below normal will this year have the
largest yields for many years
Austin Olson, who for a period of
thirty-seyen years has been engaged
In farming near Centerville, states that
.ieyer but once during that time has he
had better crops than this year. The
other day he was engaged in stacking
barley, cutting oats, moving hay and
blowing corn on the same section of
land at the same time, which gives
an linking of the times now
being experienced by the farmers of
South Dakota.
The farmers Of the state, contrary
TO expectations, are having no difficulty
In hiring harvest hands at So and $3.50
per day. Earlier in the season 1t was
feared that wages would rule consider
ably higher than this figure.
