BULK OF CORN OUT

Point at That Time, Say
Experts.

Experts.

Sioux City, fa., .s-l,,. U.%-Dispatches
received here indicate that the bulk
of the corn crop of northwestern
Iowa, South Dakota and northeastern
Nebraska will be out of the way of
frost between September Is and 20.
The yield will be about so per
cent.
In a few counties, Beadle and I'm
ion, in South Dakota, particularly, 1t
is said there will be little over a half
crop, but the general report of South
Dakota is favorable. The crop is some
what in advance of the corn in Iowa
and Nebraska, as ten OF fifteen days
more will place it past the frost dan
ger point. Droughts, which have ex-
listed in many counties for the last
month, ave been relieved and the
great corn producing section OF South
Dakota, providing unchilled weather is
the rule, will give to the world about
a IS per cent. crop. Considering the
many weather pecularities of the pres
ent corn growing season a 20 per cent.
yield can be recorded as good.
Minnehaha county reports a bumper
crop, while in Dawson county there
are many fields of early planting which
are now out of danger. Rain is still
needed in one or two counties.
Northwest Iowa, the greatest corn
producing section of one of the great

year uphold her record, the yield in
many of the counties being but 20
per cent. less than last year, while In
some counties in other parts of the
state, 80, 40 and so per cent. losses
nre reported.
The only danger now facing the
farmers Is the frost. Very little of
the corn will mature before the middle
of the month, while in a great many
instances the danger point will not be
past until the 18th. and, where there
has been late planting. not until the
first Of October. III Ida county, Oc-
tober 10 is the danger limit for late
planting. Taking seven counties as a
basis, the crop of northwest Iowa will
be 80 per cent. of last years. The con-
dition in Nebraska is similar, the yield
being estimated at about the same per
cent.
Last year was a record" year in
the three states Of Iowa, South Dakota
and Nebraska, as we'll as In the United
States, for his crop. Early in the
present season there We're gloomy
forecasts of shortage, but as the sea-
son advanced the pessimfsts once more
found their hole and remained hidden,
for the prospects of a fair yield is
when harvest time is near.
The yield of corn in Sioux City's
trade territory will doubtless fall short,
but 1t will be normal, for last years
mark was very high. When 1T is re-
ported that the crop is 10 to 25 per
cent. less than last year it only means
that there will be a normal yield.
Following arc the reports from the
various counties:
