SOIL is AMPLY MOIST.
Conditions in Dakota Favorable, Not
withstandinq Lack of Rain.

Huron, S. D., June 13.-Even though
there has been hut little rain in the state
the last week, the crop conditions are re-
ported as being in good shape. The week.
~ crop bulletin, issued by the depart
ment's bureau in this city, gives the fol-
lowing summary for the week:
The weather during the week was most
ly lair, and in the middle and lower Mis-
souri, river counties there was practically
no rain. In some of the northeastern
counties there was a moderate amount OF
rainfall on Monday, the 18th. and scattered
but generally light showers occurred on
Wednesday. The soil is amply moist, how
ever, and in some Of the extreme northern
counties east OF the Missouri river some
low land continues very wet. There was
less than the usual amount of sunshine
and on Wednesday and Thursday high
southerly to westerly winds prevailed,
especially over the northern districts.
The fore part of the week was favorably
warm, but a portion Of the latter part
was rather cool for the time in the season,
more particularly at night. Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday were generally
the Warmest days, during which period the
maximum temperature ranged from 76 to
% degrees, and the temperature IN Sunday
was favorable.
Aside from the high winds. and the too
wet condition of low land in some northern
counties. the weather was favorable for
outdoor work, and, on the whole, fairly
favorable growing weather prevailed,
though the high wind was rather %unfavor-
able.
