WINTER WHEAT
OUTLOOK BETTER THAN LAST
YEAR, AN EXPERT
SAYS.

Sioux Falls, April 14.-H. o. Her
grandson, field agent in South Da-
kota of the bureau of crop estimates.
has issued a report as to the condi-
ton of winter wheat and winter rye
in South Dakota and other matters
of importance at the opening period
of this years crop season.
The report sets forth that the pres
ent condition of winter wheat is 90
per cent, compared with rs per cent
last year. Winter rye stands at 90.
the percentage of condition being the
same as a year ago. The report says:
The average abandonment of
winter wheat for the previous five
years was 16 per cent. This crop,
although of minor acreage in South
Dakota, shows greater promise than
it has given in April any time in the
last five years. Practically none was
lost by winter killing or heaving, and
there was no freezing and thawing
to damage the crop. Moisture has
been abundant in those regions
where grown in the southeastern
counties of this state. This is the
highest general condition this crop
has shown on April / in the United
States for a long period of years.
I'm 1903 the condition was 97.3,
which was the previous high mark of
this crop up to this time"
or winter rye the report says:
THE winter rye is grown in the
more northern portions of the state
and has undergone very different
weather conditions than the south
eastern section. These observations
have been made so early that they
are subject to great changes, provid-
ing climatic conditions are more or
less severe after the plant ad~
~vances."
The report states that the labor
supply for the state was found to be
considerably below that of normal,
although it has materially improved
from one year ago. The demand also
has increased above the demand OF
one year ago.
