Grasshoppers and heat harmed potatoes, flax, millet, and garden crops. haying progressing well with good curing. livestock generally in good condition. apples uneven. plum crop short. Black Hills apples and wild fruits prospects mixed.
Our friend Coe I Crawford did not receive the United States senate appointment from Gov Herried to succeed the late Mr Kyle. A B Kittredge of Sioux Falls was the lucky man and seems set to hold the post from the moment of his predecessor's death.

Kittredge’s victory pleases him and the author, but Crawford has more cause for exultation than most readers may realize.
The candidacy gained strength across South Dakota with broad praise from many quarters. The appointing power faced urgent calls to recognize him, seen as the choice of a large majority of Republican voters statewide. Crawford remains optimistic about his future prospects.
