RAIN IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Farmers Delighted with a Storm
just in Time.

The corn growers Of Clay County
were just ready to cry for rain when
along came old J.. Pluvius with his water
wagon last Saturday afternoon and Sun
day and served up an inch or two Of the
choicest rainwater on record.
Under a real hot sun for three weeks,
the corn has been jumping along at a
rapid pace, and roasting ears on the
farm have been in order for more than
q week. The violent wind storm Of Sat
urday afternoon lattened fields pretty
badly, but from reports received later the
stalks will s%traighten up pretty well,
There is every indication that the corn
crop in Clay County, though retarded in
the early summer by heavy rains, will
come out all right.
