Harvesting of the 1912 crop in the
DeaSk Hills, always later than other
seesisns Of the state, has commenced.
To crop will break all records for
oaS part,.of the country. A conser-
vaelve estimate of the total crop out.
put from the Black Hills country this
fall is $2,ooO,oOO, which is far in ex.
cess of anything heretofore.
There will be about 100000 bushels
Of wheat, 100000 bushels of oats,
100000 bushels Of corn, $4,000 tons OF
alfalfa, $4,000 tons of native hay and
$4,000 bushels of potatoes, beside a
scattered crop of fax, barley, spells
and clover, which was not estimated
and IN extraordinary production OF
garden vegetables.

twice as much as all of these, with
