Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 79, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 January 1914 — Writes From South Dakota. [ARTICLE]

Writes From South Dakota.

Henry Hayes, formerly of this | county, writes The Democrat from Acme, So. Dak., in renewing his subscription, and among other things ' says: "We are having the best of health this year. Have had no winter to speak of as yet. Our crops last season were not very good as it ■ was quite dry during the crop spason, from the middle of July, and small grain was light while the corn , did not ear well, as it was dry just when it needed rain most. There I. are places near where they got rain at the right time and had good crops. The rains went in streaks all over the west this year. We have plenty of good hay, and grazing is splendid. The wheat, grass, buffalo grass cures on the ground here and beats any grass in the United States for grazing, but stock is so high it is hard to stock up just now.”
