TIMELY RAINS VISIT
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA

Mitchell. S. D., July 6.-The threat
ened rains for the past three days broke
loose, last night all YER the central
section of the state. A light rain fell
in the Blue Valley the morning of the
Fourth, followed by a hot day. Late in
the evening the rain fell in the most
generous quantities in every direction
varying from .S3 inches here to nearly
two inches elsewhere. The rain came
in time to put the crops on an 80 pei
cen basis The temperature yesterday
was 90 degrees.
The alleged poor conditions of the
crops in the central section Of tho
state has been much overrated and
despite the shortage Of rain crops uk
to yesterday were fine, as revealed by
a drive Of 45 miles southwest of hers
into Aurora and Douglas counties. Not
to exceed two or three pieces Of poor
grain or corn were seen On the 90
miles of territory covered. Corn il
more than knee high and has a fine
color, while wheat, oats and barley
show q strong stand. well filled heads
and the color all that could be desired
With h present rain the small grain
crop is assured and it will give a great
impetus to the corn development which
has a stand that with additional rains
later on will make a bumper crop.

HEATED TERM BROKEN
BY PLENTIFUL RAINS;

East Of River Country Heavily
Visited Last Night and This
Morning.

Mitchell, S. D., July "a magnif-
cent rain fell over the entire state to
the north, east and south las night
and this morning stopping, however, at
the Missouri river. The rain west of
there was light.
AT this point the precipitation
amounted to 1882 inches and was the
heaviest of the season. This rain will
make the wheat and oats crop an as
sured thing and the yield will be
better thar a year ago by a good per
centage and will add hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the income of the
farmers. Both wheat and oats are
filling in splendid shape and the crop
without doubt will be the largest in the
past five years.
The corn situation is of the brightest
character n the present rainfall will
carry that grain along for a month
toward a splendid maturity. The en-
tire crop situation is the brightest n
the people are feeling jubilant over the
outlook with the harvest near at hand.

corn doing exceptionally well. Last
nights rain of nearly 3 Inches was the

Field for Eberhart.

Governor Eberhart is conspicu-
GUS figure in the New Ulm celebra-
ton this week. He is loud in his
praises of the worthy pioneers who
defended southern Minnesota from
the Sioux and so undoubtedly saved
the lives of many people. The gov
ernor cannot speak too highly of
these pioneers, but it would be a
grand thing for, the state of Minneso-
ia if he would become imbued with
the spirit of these grizzled old men
and gray-haired women. Minnesota
today is fighting special privileges as
it did the Indians fifty years ago.
The governor should be right on the
firing line fighting for the people as
did the New Ulm pioneers. AS it is,
he is so far in the rear that it takes
a telescope to locate him.
