their work. Many have only about half
of their corn planted and many fields
that were planted early had to be re-
planted on account of its rotting in the
ground. The total precipitation for April
and May is 6.39 inches against 4.S6
inches for these two months last year,
which is a gain of 1.5S inches over the
year of 1916.
Sioux Falls, S. D, June Crop con-
d1tlons throughout South Dakota gem
orally are encouraging.
There a been an abundance of rain
more, really, than was ~needed--and
these rains caused a delay in getting the
crop of small grain and corn into the
ground. Since the small grain crop was
sown there have been several rains of a
general character over the state, with
the result that small grain il, doing n
usually well. Unseaspnably cool wealth
er during the early part of the season
caused small grain to stool we'll, the
roots being somewhat stronger than
customary. indicating a heavy yield IL
the remainder of the season is favor
bic. 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. There is little doubt that
by the end of June crops of all kinds
will be as far advanced as is custom
airy at that period of the growing sea-
son. The potato acreage of the state is
larger han ever before. The frequent
rains have made pasturage of the best,
assuring an abundance Of feed for
cattle and other 1jun rtnni--r u md in6l-
