unusually numerous, due largely to
the fact that during the last deer
shooting season comparatively few of
these animals were killed because
weather conditions during the season
were against the hunters and in IA

CROPS in the Rosehud.

Fairfax.--Crop conditions in the
Rosebud are practically ideal, al
though more rain has fallen than is
necessary during the past three weeks.
Since May 10 more than eleven inches
of rain has fallen in Gregory county,
but as most of the corn was planted
before this the extensive precipitation
has not materially retarded crop work.
Most of the corn in the Rosebud is up
and growing rapidly. Alfalfa cutting
has already commenced in a few
places, and the first harvest of this
hay will be in full blast in a few days.
The yield is splendid.
