Season Corn Huskins Begins.
Huron, 8. D.. Sept. 2s.-The report Of
crops in this state for the week is as
follows:
The weather during the week aver
aged considerably warmer than usual
for this time in the season I'M vas
generally dry, except that on the 18th
instant there were showers in the east
ern portion of the state, which in the
extreme eastern counties were generous
to heavy n somewhat retarded
threshing by wetting grain stacks.
On the whole, stacking, %threshing and
haying, the cutting of flax n millet,
and the digging of potatoes made very
good progress. Stacking of small grains
and threshing from shock are about
finished.
In some localities the yield of wheat
is disappointing, but elsewhere mostly
favorable. though variable. The quail
fty is variable, and there is considerable
smutty grain. Reports continue to in
dicate that oats and spelt are as a
rule very satisfactory crops, but that
considerable barley is discolored.
Corn is maturing rapidly and the
crop is practically past danger
from frost, but a little of the late
planted on low land being yet exposed.
Unusually good yields are assured, and
cutting is advancing nicely.
Flax and millet harvest is nearly fin
ished, and the latest flax is practically
safe from frost; both are good crops.
Potatoes are mostly good, but the
yield is disappointing in some locali-
ties, and there is some complaint of
rotting on low land.
Haying is finished in the southern
counties, but continues elsewhere.
Range grass is curing we'll and the out
look for winter grazing is verysgratify-
Ing. Fall pasturage is generally good,
and live stock is in fine condition.
Fall blowing is progressing, with the
soil mostly in good condition for this
work, though in some localities a little
too dry. Seeding of winter wheat is in
progress. In sor1e extreme southeast
ernF counties a limited amount Of winter
wheat is being sown, and the earlier
sown is terminating promptly.
