Morning.

n this morning stopping, however, at
the Missouri river. The rain west of

AT his point the precipitation
amounted to 1872 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 than a year ago by a good per-
centage and will add hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to the income of the
farmers. Both whea 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 and the present rainfall will
carry that grain along for a month
toward a splendid maturity. The en-
tire crop situation is the brightest and
the people are feeling jubilant over the
outlook with the harvest near at hand

Mitchell. S. D., July 6.-The threat
ened rains for the past three days broke
loose last night all yer the central

generous quantities in every direction
varying from .83 inches here to nearly
two inches elsewhere. The rain camt

cent basis The temperature yesterday
was go 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 uE
to yesterday were fine, as revealed by
a drive of 45 miles southwest of here
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. Corr il

color. while wheat, oats and barley
show a strong stand. we'll filled heads

With the 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.
