tension seem to be prospecting and are
making rapid growth. Wilton is
rapidly increasing in size. The ap-

porous condition among the settlers.
A number Of neat and commodious
cottages have been erected In the
past few months. New business
buildings are being erected and a
new Catholic church IS
nearing completion.

WHEAT BEATING THE RUST
Coming to Maturity in Advance OF the
Infection.

Black rust, which caused such appre.-
hension by it's appearance on the wheat
plant few weeks ago, has apparently
not done serious damage, according to
the latest Van Dusen-Harrlngton crop
bulletin The plant has been very gen
rust failed to mature and favorable
weather has sent the wheat along to
maturity in advance Of it. Present in
dications are that Minnesota and the
Dakotas will harvest an average crop
o fwheat as to quantity, tho 'spotted
as to quality.
D. Marshall and others go to show that
there will be probably more smut, both
loose and covered, than ever before;
that there will be large amount of
blighted wheat and certain proper
ton of shriveled and ust-damaged
grain also, a large percentage OF l.. un +
larger proportion of milling wheat than
on the last crop.
Mr.. Marshall has now. completed three
trips, one object of which was to de-
termine the value Of the lightweight
seed which was, by necessity, 50 large
june 5 and july 5, MIR. Marshall stated
that he had found that the lightweight
seed had produced a. plant apparently
equal to the plant from good seed
These trips were prearranged and the
same fields examined at the different
stations on each trip, and now that the
grain is about to mature, Mr.: Marshall
says that in fields sown with light
weight seed the berry is not SO, plump
the yield is lighter and the head not sc
large as has been produced by the plant
grown from good seed.
Barley, oats and rye are pretty wei
harvested thru the southern countie:
and wheat harvesting is now genera
there. The wheat harvest will be il
full swing in all of South Dakota an!
