NEW LAND IS IN CROP
Small Grain Will Yield According q
the Present Prospects o Crop
Never Before EqvsIsd--corn
% This Years Hopes.

Howard. \. D.. June 2i.-According
20 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 seed
ing and planting. small grain. corn and
other crops have recently. under the
influence OF warm weather. made rapid
growth. and are now about as far ad-
vanced AZ In usual at this period of the
growing season.
The unusually cool weather early In
he season caused small grain to stool
well and IL IN now In fine condition. The
rains, from reports received. have ex-
tended TO all parts Of the agricultural
portion OF the state. and as a result
crops In every locality are in the best
II condition. Replanting OF corn. how
ever. was necessary on some OF the
bottom lands along the Missouri river
where there was nm excessive amount
Of rainfall.
One OF the favorable features of the
present crop prospects IN the fact that
n several localities where for several
years crops were somewhat poor be-
cause the rainfall was below normal.
his year had their full share OF the rain
fall and crops accordingly compare ia
,orably with those I'm other parts OF the
state which heretofore have been more
fortunate.
