SMALL GRAIN EXCELLENT.
Never Were Crop Conditions So Favor
able in South Dakota

~ SSpAi Oanokds
Sioux Falls, S. D., June l9.-Accord-
ing to all reports the outlook for a good
CROP in South Dakota this year could
not be more favorable than at present.
Notwithstanding the cold and rainy
spring, which delayed the work of
seeding n planting, small grain, corn
and other crops nave recently, under
the influence of warm weather, made
rapid growth and are now about as far
advanced as is usual at this period of
the growing season.
The unusually cool weather early in
the season caused small grain to stool
Well. and 1t is now in fine condition.
The rains. from reports received. have
extended to all parts of the agricultural
portion of the state, and as a result
crops in every locality are in the best
or condition. Replanting of corn, how
ever, was necessary on some of the
bottom lands along the Missouri river
where there was an excessive amount
of rainfall.
One OF the favorable features of the
present crop prospects is the fact that
IN several localities where for several
years crops We're somewhat poor be-
cause the rainfall was below normal
this year had their full share of the
rainfall. and crops accordingly COM
pare faVorably with those in other
parts of the state which heretofore
nave been more fortunate.

season been cultivated for the first
llme IN the newer portions of the state.
IN the work of breaking virgin prairie
the farmers have generally utilized
traction engines 70. operating their
ploWs. The farm machinery dealers of
Mitchell alone have thus far this sea-
son sold about thirty such engines for
use IN breaking new prairie land. Many
more nave been utilized in Charles Mix
county and in the n adjacent to
the Missouri river in the north central
part of the state.
The new lands, as fast as broken. are
soWn TO flax. and mex year will large
~ be added to the acreage devoted to
wheat. The work of breaking and SOW
ing to flax is still being prosecuted
IN some localities. Notwithstanding the
lateness of the season.
very favorable reports are received
from the comparatively new country
west OF the Missouri river as 10 crop
conditions n prospects in that part
or the state. 1t is expected this will
be the banner crop year for Stanley
and Lyman counties. which are en-
braced in the new country.
Leroy Beemer, after a journey of $50
miles in Charles Mix county, states
that during his residence of twentv-
one Years in that county he never saw
small grain. especially winter wheat.
looking so we'll as now.
Others who lave inspected crop con-
dit1ons in other parts of the state make
similar reports. all of which point TO
South Dakota making a new record in
crop production this year.

Mrs. Stewart, it has been learned, came
to Sioux Falls well prepared to make an
