OUTLOOK FOR FINEST
CROPS IN HISTORY

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 5.--According
50 all reports the acreage devoted to
corn In South Dakota has been greatly
Increased this season, and il the great
est in the history of the state. In some
localities 1t was necessary to replant
because of poor seed, but in general
the crop is In good condition. In most
parts Of the state corn now is far
enough out of the ground for cultivat-
ing. Small grain also is in fine condi-
ton. The cool weather during the
fore part of this week was DECIDEDLY
favorable for small grain and the rains
and warm Gather since that time have
pushed the crop along very fast. Re-
cent rains and the most favorable sort
Of weather have greatly improved the
crop outlook throughout the state. At
no time this spring has 1t been dis
couraging, but recent rains which have
extended to all parts of South Dakota,
have made 1t first class. Farmers are
jubilant and now feel that with con-
tinuing favorable weather and timely
rains during the remainder OF the
growing season the crop this year will
be the largest ever raised in South Da-
kota.
