Sioux Falls.-The first report of the
commencement of winter wheat har-
vesting in South Dakota comes from
Alcester, in the extreme southeastern
part of the state. /. The harvesting of
winter wheat has been in progress in
that vicinity for several days and the
crop rapidly is being placed in the
shock. II is stated that the yield will
be much better than expected, this
variety of wheat having been so far
along when the excessively hot and
dry weather came that 1t was injured
to only slight degree.

counties of the extreme southeastern
part of the state. where considerable
acreage each year Is devoted to this
crop is also in full swing. In the vi
cinity OF Scotland 1t is estimated that
many fields of winter wheat will yield
an average of more than 30 bushels to
the acre, Practically every field gives
promise of more than an average
yield.
While the straw is shorter than
usual, the stand is good and the heads
have filed nicely with good, plump
berries. tt also is reported that oats
in the vicinity of Scotland is in much
better condition than seemed possible
in view of the excessively hot and dry
weather during the greater part of

This went on till baby was two

and If baby took up reel of silk or

very busy. and for few minutes for

This was her chance. Up went the
chubby legs into the chair that stood
near the gold fish globe. Poised on

Moe Rain In state.

Mitchell.-One of the most extern
sive rains of the season covered the
greater part of South Dakota last
week.
At Mitchell LOS inches of water fell
and in the central section it averaged
about that amount The rain extended
to the north state line, covering vast
area of country that needed the rain
badly. The rain belt extended to
Chamberlain and intermediate points
and east of the state line, the precipi-
tation in nearly all cases amounting to
an inch, getting little lighter as it
went to the state line. Good rains are
reported around Freeman and Memo,
but little south of that section.
Two parties who drove distance
of 500 miles in four days over the
territory from the north line of Sam
born county south to Charles Mix
county's south line, and between the
James and the Missouri rivers, stated
that the corn crop stood at 100 per
cent and over, and that 80 per cent
of the fields in that section stood three
feet high, which is foot ahead of the
average season. Wheat in that sec
ton showed a percentage Of So and
will do well. Wheat on corn ground
Is exceptionally good.
With the rain of last week the pre-
cipitation for the month here is 4.65
inches more than the average for the
past ten years. The crop outlook is
better now than at the same period
last year.
