GRAIN is NOT DAMAGED.
So Says w. NJ. Powers, OF Yankton,
After Investigation.

william NJ. Powers. of Yankton
member of the board of charities and
corrections. and familiar with crops
and farming, has just returned from
a trip over the state as far north as
Redfield and Gary. and made special
effort 10 obtain crop information. He
says the grain crop is not damaged,
notwithstanding the peculiar weather.
and that a few days of warm weather
will bring grain up rapidly. The cool
weather has retarded growth, but has
strengthened the stooling of the plant,
and Its growth will be vigorous and
rapid. He claims that Dakota has
raised abundant crops In seasons that
were much more unfavorabie than the
present. He says farmers are not
worrying.
