Davison County, S. Dak., Is Not Affected By the Drouth,

Davison county, S. Dak., of which Mitchell is the county seat, is having the best crop of its history, according to reports that have reached Jasper county. Evidently old Jasper and her Davison county representatives are right in clover, as well as oats and wheat and corn this Year. The letter written by Bruce Porter to Dr. Kresler corresponds with one received today from A. J. Harmon, of Mitchell, which says: “I write to tell you of the condition of.our crops in this part of South Dakota. Ido not believe I have seen better crops in ten years. Our small grain is good and I have never seen wheat or oats better filled or plumper kernels and I am sure the wheat crop is good for 15 to 25 bushels to the acre. Corn is also the best we have had in years and looks like it should beat last year’s average, which was almost 40 bushels to the acre. ' “I understand that it has been reported that our crops have suffered from the drouth and I write this letter to correct the report. If any persons want to come out and see for themselves, I will see that their trip, both going and coming, don’t cost a cent if things are not just as I represented them. “The Jasperites here are harvesting a fine crop of wheat and oats and a better prospect for corn never was. Ideal weather for hardest. Regards to all the boys. Everybody here up on their toes and something doing all the time.”
