there was an entire absence of rain, and
corn was beginning to suffer from the
drought, but the splendid rains have
settled the questions beyond all doubt.
This part of South Dakota will now
have one of the best corn crops that
has ever been raised. Small grain is all
harvested and is highly satisfactory.

finest quality. This is especially true
of oats, which has never been better in
this locality. The potato crop will not
be SO heavy as last. season, but there
will be more than an average crop.

rw,s1ER in CLAY COUNTY.
Saturdays Storm Was Freishted with
Damaoino Winds.

vermillion. S. d.. Aug. l6.-The first
twister of the season in this section
of Clay county struck Vermillion about
4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon. doing
considerable damage within the city
limits and more in the rural precincts.
The wind was accompanied by almost
a cloudburst, the streets being verit-
able lakes for a time after the storm
had subsidized. Vim. Everett's barn was
blown down and the lumber scattered
over several acres. Awnings were
twisted firm their mornings and tele-
phone poles and wires were badly
twisted. The corn fields in places
were badly fiattened, but 1t is thought
h stalks will straighten up all right.
Grain in shock was hit hard. Fruit
growers did not escape damage. The
apple crop. now at its best for fall ap-
pies. was harvested quickly after the
wind ceased. because the fruit was all
on the ground.
