CROP SITUATION IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Early Predictions Of Large Crop Borne Out by pcpornlack
Rust In Isolated tieids

there will be considerable smut,
which will reduce the yield somewhat,
in some instances by about one-third.
AS wheat is seldom free from smut,
this Is not causing much excitement
among the grain men of Doland and
other towns in that vicinity.
Some of the farmers residing in
the southwestern portion of Brule
county report that blight has ap-
peared in their fields of macaroni
wheat, this being due to the exces-
sively hot weather about week ago.
Some blight is reported in some other
varieties, but not nearly so much as in
the macaroni.
In the neighborhood of Britton 1t
is now the belief that with the IA
vorable weather of the past week all
danger of black rust is past. Black
rust injured wheat IN the vicinity of
South Shore last year, but this year
rust has not put in an appearance,
and farmers are of the opinion that
their crops will escape the plague
this year if present crop conditions
continue.
A great deal Of macaroni wheat
was this season sNwn in various To-
calities. This variety of grain is do
ing well in general and promises
large yield. One of the finest fields Of
macaroni wheat in the northern part
of the state is owned by r. F. Suther-
land, living near Leola, Mcpherson
county. 1t stands over five feet high,
and has large well fielled heads.
Rudolph Liebig, residing near
Frankfort, has quite a large area
sown to macaroni wheat 1t stands
about five feet high, and in addition
to having we'll filled heads is as thick
as it can stand on the ground. 1t is
expected to yield from thirty to forty
bushels per acre.
c. S. Owens, who lives near North
vile, has a field of macaroni wheat
which he estimates will yield twenty
five bushels to the acre.
The harvesting of the ordinary va
riety of wheat will commence in the
greater part of the state next week,
while fields of late sown will not be
ready to be cut until about the mid
die of August Small grain in gen.
eral throughout the state is in good
condition and will yield well.
Corn has been making rapid prog
ress and is practically certain to be
a good crop if frosts hold of as late
as usual.
The rank growth of all kinds Of
small grain Is causing an unusually
heavy demand for binder Irvine, and
dealers in all parts of the state are
working early and late in order to
supply the brisk demand.

MOSQUITO PLAGUE.
Making Life Misery for Both Man
and Beast

The story sent out from Pierre re-
garding the plague of mosquitoes in
Hand county is correct, but last week
has shown new developments, in that
the sTarms have Increased and to live
Is almost impossible All through the
day, unless there is a breeze which
makes the pests settle in the grass,
the air is full of them and they light
on persons by the hundreds.
The little five-year. old daughter Of
Henry Blddle, living near Miller, was
so badly bitten that her parents were
forced to take her to a physician
for treatment. Two farm hands from
the western part of the county were
taken to the hospital in Pierre, so bad
ly were they bitten by the mosquitoes.
Farming operations are, on some
days, forced to be suspended because
Of the swarms of mosquitoes which
light on the horses, causing the ami
mails to become unmanageable.
James Croll and wife, of Miller,
were driving to their farm ten miles
north when they were surrounded by
a great horde of the pests. The hors-
es backed off grade and nearly broke
away. They were forced to return to
town.
Many cases of very bad blood pois-
oning are reported among children
where they have unwittingly scratched
the stings made by the mosquitoes.
Farmers are going about their barns
wearing wells or nets. Cattle race
about the fields all day in vain at
tempts to get rid of the biting foes.
The heavy rains OF the spring, which
filed all the low places with water,
are the cause of the swarms of mos
quitoes. The stagnant water is the
breeding place of the pests and not
until the pools dry up will there be any
relief from the yoracious creatures.

bel Was Success.

The Tooth birthday party Of Mrs.
Hubbel Of Miller was quite largely at

presents and kindly wishes. Mayor
Thomson (whose grandmother lived to
be 10D sent her a big bouquet and
a congratulatory letter. Owing to the
threatening weather Mrs. Reeves, age
SO, Mrs. Sweetland, 90, and Mrs. Nc.
Carthy, SO, did not attend the party,
but they hope to next year.
1t was not from weakness that Da-
vid Walton, aged 81, did not attend,
but because mis- fifty-acre field of
wheat, that looks like twenty-five
bushels to the acre, needed his atten-
ton. He put in his crop with the
help Of boy, and will do good share
of the harvesting himself. His left
hand is off at the wrist. Recently his
driving horse refused to be caught in
the pasture, but the old man grabbed
the animal by the tail and held on
until the startled beast was glad to be
battered. In his younger days, when
he had both hands, on a wager he
lifted barrel of cider and drank from
the bung. He does not use intoxicat-
ing beverages and never used tobacco.
He. too, bids fair to live to more than
the 100 mark.

All Of these figures were taken from
the registers with the exception Of the
Indians, of which no census was taken,
and those from Lake county, all of
which are not yet in.
The completed figures from Clay
county show a loss of 336 from the
census of five years ago. The popula-
ton is 4,S15 male and 4.175 female,
of which 1890 are foreign born. or
the towns. Vermillion has 2.147. Wa
konda 246, and that portion Of Irene
in Clay county 144. The loss in popu-
lation is accounted for by the fact OF
consolidation of farms and that the
students at the university We're count
ed five years ago and We're left out
of the present census.
One popularity in the returns to the
state auditor on the reports for the
state assessment board comes from a
county which shows 623 school roll
and admits the existence Of l,l39 dogs
for taxation.

Reports to the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader from all parts Of the agrlcul-
:ural portion of the state in regard to
crop conditions for the most part are
favorable and bear out early predic-
tons that South Dakota will this year
raise one of the largest crops in its
history.
While there is great deal of talk
Of rust on the part of grain experts
residing outside the state. the ap-
oearance of black rust in the wheat
ields of South Dakota is by no means
general. Only isolated fields appear
as yet to be affected, and even in
many Of these it is claimed the grain
Is not seriously affected.
However, the rust talk has caused
general alarm among the farmers of
the state, who have hopes that the
rust visitation will not again become
general and cause the damage it did
last year, when the estimated yield
Of 100000 bushels of wheat in the
state was reduced to an actual yield
Of only about 23,OO0,G00 bushels be-
cause black rust appeared in the
fields a few days before the grain
was ready to be cut.
1t is expected that developments
during the present week will definite
iy determine whether or not black
rust will once more become general
In the wheat fields of the state. Day
Is one of the counties in which rust
aas appeared again this year. but thus
Tar only few fields are affected. Even
In the affected fields the rust has de-
veloped only on an occasional stem Of
the grain.
The farmers of Day and the few
other counties where the rust has APP
peared, figure that with favorable
the grain will be out Of danger and
will yield better than for several
years.
In the vicinity of Volga wheat is
not as badly affected by rust as was
at first supposed. While no one in
that locality is claiming big crop of
wheat, it now seems to be the general
opinion of those who have examined
the wheat fields that there will be a
fair crop after all.
A careful inspection of the wheat
fields in Brown county reveals the
fact that there absolutely is no foun-
dation for the report recently circu-
lated that black rust is prevalent in
that section of South Dakota. Condi-
tions there. as in many other parts OF
the state, indicate a bumper wheat
crop unless there is a decided change
soon.
While there is no indication of rust

DlTcHING IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Joint Meeting of Clay and Yankton
County Boards.

The boards of county commissioners
of Clay and Yankton counties held at
Vermillion a most important joint ses-
sion last week The new ditch law
governed the proceedings. The meet
ing was on a joint ditch petitioned for
in Clay and Yankton counties. The
forces which secured the passage of
the law last winter are the same as
those interested in the proposed ditch,
and in fact it was principally for the
purpose of draining this particular To-
cality that the movement was set on
foot.
The petitioners ask for three bitches
all heading in Yankton county and
running in a southeasterly direction
into Clay county. They will be known
as the Clay creek, the Meckling and
the Gayville bitches. The first is the
longest and largest of the three, being
fourteen miles in length and having
a width of forty 10 sixty feet and
depth of from six 10 ten feet. This
ditch will be supplemented by laterals
which will be constructed later. The
other two bitches will not be so long
nor so large, but even the smallest OF
them will be gigantic undertaking,
and the whole Will probably represent
an outlay of half million dollars.
While the expense in construction
is enormous, yet the benefits to be de-
rived stherefrom will much more than
cover the cost. Millions OF acres or
fine farm lands which suffer yearly
or periodically from the floods arising
from the waters of Clay creek, which
heads in Turner county and is twenty
miles long, will be given ample pro-
lection from inundation. Crops will
be a certainty. Land which has been
used for hay alone for years will be
cultivated. Values will more than
double and the counties and the state
al large will be benefited.
The next step in the proceedings
will be the viewing OF the proposed
bitches by the two boards of county
commissioners. The boards will then
meet at Vermillion on Aug. l to de-
eide whether or not they will employ
surveyor to make the necessary plays.
II is thought that there will be no
hitch in the proceedings to that end.
W. NJ. Vincent of Union county has
been retained by the board 10 do all
the engineering and the survey work.
The proposed route is the one recon-
mended by the government expert,
who made detailed typographical sur
vey of the entire Missouri river bottom
from the James to the Vermillion river
and from bluff to the waters edge.
The future proceedings in this under
taking will be closely watched by all
in the southeastern part of the state.

Peril Of the Handshake.

DR.. Valentine Nalpasse, French
doctor living in Constantinople. has
started a crusade with the object Of
abolishing the handshake, and sub
stituting in its place the "Temenah,"
which is the Oriental form of saluta-
ton. According TO DR.. Nalpasse, the
hand contains over 10000 microbes to
the square inch, and in shaking hands
these microbes are conveyed from one
person TO another. He suggests in
place Of the ordinary form of greeting
that the "Temenah' be universally
employed. which consists in placing
the right hand on the heart, on the
lips, and on the forehead, signitying,
Thou has a place in my heart, on my
lips, and thou art always in my
thoughts-London Chronicle.
