RAINS MUST COVE SOON or
CROP FAILURE WILL FOLLOW
Sioux Falls, S. d.. June 2S.-Hereto
.ore corn and potatoes in South Da.
kota have been doing much better
than small grain. and 1t has been
hoped that they would pull through
and make good crops. But IL they do,
a soaking rain must sweep over the
state within q few days.
As the result Of the excessively hot
and dry weather Of the past few days.
the critical stage for corn and pota.
toes has been reached, and unless
there is a general rain or extensive
local showers soon both corn and DO.
tatoes will be injured to as great an
extent as small grain had previously
been injured.
Under ordinary conditions the corn
especially. would not have suffered for
week or 10 days yet, notwithstand-
Ing the small supply of moisture
which has been in the ground, nut the
excessively hot weather this week and
the windy days have made a heavy
drain on such moisture as remained
In the ground. Corn and potatoes are
in the balance. A few days will tell
the story.
AS matters now stand, some sec.
tions of the state will raise very
good crops of small grain corn
potatoes and fax. having been fav.
ored with more rain than other Sec
tions. This applies particularly to
Brule, Lyman, Charles Mix, Gregory
and few other counties, which have
had heavy rains and where crops Of
all kinds continue to do we'll
Minneapolis, June 23.-.South Daks-
ia reports have been less favorable for
the last few days. Territory that
embraces Cottonwood, jackson, Muir
ray, Mobiles, Pipestone and Rock
counties in Minnesota has been dry
and the dry district extends along the
line Of the Milwaukee to Wessington
Springs, s. d., on the Minneapolis
deem and west and on the Chicago &
Northwestern from WATERFOWL to
Redfield. The general offices of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road report
that II rain falls this week much Of
the crop In South Dakota that now
looks bad will revive, and advices to
officials of the Milwaukee road in
Minneapolis are that while the road
In South Dakota has much country
about 1t that 1t is dry, recent rains
helped materially in places. and there
will be fair crop If rain comes soon
