S. D. CROPS PROGRESS
FAIR RAINFALL HAS FAVORED
CORN AND SMALL GRAIN.

Sioux Falls, June 13.-Crops of
all kinds in South Dakota made rapid
progress during the week just
closed, the weather having been IA
vorable for rapid growth Of corn.
small grain and other crops. Pas
turage In of the best and everything
indicates that the hay crop will be
one Of the largest ever produced in
South Dakota.
The ground Is In the best possible
condition from the eastern boundary
westward to the Black Hills, and
from the southern to the northern
boundary, rains during the past two
or three weeks having been distrib-
uted very evenly over the entire
state. During May the average ag-
gregate rainfall throughout South
Dakota ranged from four to six
inches, some of the heaviest rains
having swept owe western South Da-
kota, which comprises the newer ag-
ricultural portion of the state. That
region produced a big crop last year.
favorable for western South Dakota
to raise the greatest crop in its his
tory this year.
Recent visitors to the corn grow
ing sections of the state report that
they never before saw a better stand
of corn than this year. There are no
empty hills, all the seed having ger
minated, and with plenty Of hot
weather between now and the mid
die of September the corn crop will
be n Of the largest ever produced
In the state.
Small grain throughout the state
could not be in better condition than
at present. The stand is good, the
grain has a good color. and a favor
able feature is that the roots are un-
usually strong. this being due to cool
and cloudy weather during the time
the grain was making roots.
Small grain and early planted corr
has been greatly benefited by recent
rains. Small grain has attained a
height of about six inches and is
making rapid growth. While the
corn crop was put in the ground
somewhat late In some parts OF the
state because of rainy weather and
wet lands. 1t is expected it will speed
lily catch up and by July Is will have
attained its customary growth for
that period Of the growing season.
