Huron, S. D., July 25.-With the tenn

distributed during the past week. While
wheat, oats, barley, rye and speltz have
kept even pace toward maturity. Some
barley and oats are almost ready for
the scythe; wheat heads are fast devel-
oping and are of good size and plump.
The reported existence of black rust
does not apply to this section-careful
watch of fields is being kept and up
to this date no black rust has been re-
ported; some fields are more or less
tinged With red rust. but this appears
to not hinder the progress of the crop
which is very rapidly maturing.
Flax. in very many fields, is in BIOS

to be in fair condition, although the
crop as whole does not give prom
