DRENCHING RAIN
SOUTH DAKOTA VISITED BY
THREE DAYS OF
MOISTURE.

Mitchell, April 28.-Mitchell and
the surrounding country was drench-
ed last night and this morning with
a rain that is worth many thousands
of dollars. The government observer
recorded a downpour of 10 of an
inch. Over an inch of rain has fall
en- in this part of the state in the
past three days, giving a hearty i'm
petus to spring crops.
Rapid City, April 28. Western
South Dakota has been pretty gener
ally blessed with showers the past
week, nearly every locality receiving
one or more each day. The p~lente-
Gus supply of moisture has given the
grass a splendid start and the out
look for both range and hay hasn't
been so bright for years. Many old
ranchmen say enough rain has fallen
already to assur a good crop of
grass.
Gettysburg, April 28.-Heavy and
continuous rains drove the farmers
from the fields, where they were
seeding small grain, and rain CON
tinued for several hours through the
night.
This second rain has put the
sIOulu lnlo lu6di |COuulllOn lOI Sbeu-
ing, and far more small grain will
be sown than was originally contem-
plated.
About 100 farmers in Potter coun-
ty and community have decided to
make experiments with alfalfa, and
seed has been sent by the secretary
of agriculture at the request of Con-
gresham G. H. Burke and Senators
Sterling and Crawford. The farm
ers believe that silos and alfalfa will
do wonders here, and they are pre-
pairing to make the test of growing
alfalfa according to government in
structions.
The rain has saved thousands of
dollars to farmers who were just be-
ginning to buy hay at SO per ton, so
scarce is it in this county.
Everywhere the grass is growing
splendidly, and the wells and creeks
are filling up gradually.
Farmers say that the present in
dications are the best for seeding
and for the growing grain that have
been seen here for five years.
Grain sown last week is now
growing, n the rains have given it
a splendid beginning.
On the Hall farms, northwest of
town, Over 1000 acres have been
sown to wheat, Fairbanks and SUIT
ton, southwest of Gettysburg, are
sowing over 1000 acres with wheat,
J. A. Lake will SOW about 1000 acres
and other farmers are putting in
large areas with wheat.
