SOUTH DAKOTA CROP
BEST IN HISTORY
Field Agent of U, S. Department
Of Agriculture Reports
His Findings.

Watertown, S. d.. Oct. 12.-What
South Dakota has accomplished his
year in the way of crop production is
revealed in a report just made by II.
c. Richardson, field agent in South
c. He%rbrandson, field agent in South
ment OF agriculture, bureau of crop
statistics. A of the report
follows:
Corn-South Dakota has produced
the largest crop in bushels and in the
highest in quality ever produced. In
the northeastern portion of the state,
in the areas of high altitude, some
frost, but these fields are of minor
consequence in total production.
Weather conditions have favored the
crop in drying both the grain and
forage unusually we'll. 1t will be pos
sible to crib the corn as soon as farm
ers IA pick it or help is
available.
Spring Wheat-This is the largest
crop of wheat South Dakota has ever
produced and in numerous of the older
more intensely farmed counties, fields
have yielded more per acre h ever
before. 1t is because of these large
yields in all sections, together with the
total production for the state. The
central portion of the state has given
unusual returns.
Oats-This is the largest production
OF this crop on record for the state.
The southern and eastern counties had
an exceptionally large crop and of good
quality.
Barley-The largest production by
this state on record. Rains the fore part
Of August caused slight discoloration,
but on the whole the quality is x
cellent.
Potatoes-Exceeded her usual pro-
duction of this crop this season by
$500, 900 bushels. The quality is high;
harvesting the crop Is we'll along in all
sections.
Flax-Conditions which have been
favorable in this state increased the
production Of flax this year materially
over recent years. The crop is all
harvested and is practically all
threshed.
Stock Range Conditions-South Da-
kota reports received indicate the
western range conditions to be above
the usual and the native grasses have
had a good opportunity to cure, making
1t suitable for winter feed. Pastures are
rather closely fed, due to the lack of
moisture during the late summer and
early fall. All truck crops gave unusual
yields.
Prices-When the returns received
from agricultural products are com.
pared with the prices paid even a few
years 6 1t will be readily noticed tina
the prices are, all Of them, approx
mately 100 per CEN greater thar were
formerly received. A considerable in
crease will be notice in most products
since 1917.

Huron, S. D., Oct. 1.-THE current
weekly crop report of the state wealth.
er n crop service is as follows:
Moderate temperature prevailed
generally during the week. Light to
moderate rainfall occurred in the east
ern part of the state Sunday night. but
generally the supply of moisture for
farm needs is i~nadeauate. Threshine
has continued under favorable condi-
lions n good progress in this work
has been made. Flowing has been in
progress, but the ground is hard and
dry and the work has been carried on
under difficulties. Winter rye and
wheat are doing fairly we'll, but the
weather has been too dry for their best
growth. Picking and shocking corn
have been carried on under favorable
conditions. The quality and yield of
this crop Is generally reported to be
very good. Potato digging continues
and the yield is large. Pastures are dry
but they contain a satisfactory amount
OF feed. Stock is still in fine condi-
