CROPS LOOK GOOD
SOUTH DAKOTA In LINE FOR A
BIG YIELD THIS YEAR.

Sioux Falls, June Crop condi-
tions throughout South Dakota are
of the most encouraging character.
There has been IN abundance or
rain-more, really, than was needed
and these rains caused a delay in
getting the crop of small grain and
corn into the ground. However. the
delay : has not been serious, crops
having been put into the ground only
about 10 days or two weeks later
than usual. Since the small grain
crop was sown there have been sew
eral rains of a general character over
the state, with the result that small
grain is doing unusually well. I'm
seasonably cool weather during the
early part of the eason caused small
grain to stool well, the roots being
somewhat stronger than customary,
indicating a heavy yield III the re-
mainder of the eason lis favorable.
The small grain crop now is above
the ground and presents a strong and
healthy appearance.
Unfavorable conditions retarded
the work of corn planting, but this
work now is practically completed in
all parts of the state which are in
the corn growing belt. The excellent
condition Of the ground will result in
crops growing very fast with the
coming of warm weather. There Is
little doubt that by the end of June
crops of all kinds will be as far ad-
vanced as is customary at that period
of the growing season. The potato
acreage of the state is larger than
ever before. The frequent rains
have made p~asturage of the best, as.
surfing an abundance of feed for cat
tie and other live stock, and indicat-
ing that the hay crop of South Da.
kota will be an unusually large one
With even a normal season. South
Dakota will have a greater surplus
of food stuffs to market than evel
before. More attention also is being
devoted to the production of live
stock than for several years., ant
there will be vast quantities to mar
ket for shipment outside the state.
