CROPS IN MINNESOTA.

Little Falls (Warren county, Banner, Aug.
2: The great wheat crop of Morrison county
is being harvested very successfully and sat
isfactorily.
Chatield (Fillmo1e county, Democrat,
Aug. 3: A gentleman informed us yesterday
that he had inspected field of wheat in this
vicinity, and he was confident that it would
yield eighteen bushels to the acre.
Redwood Gazette, Aug. 1: The oats and
barley crops are remarkably fine. It is diff
ficult to say just how wheat will thresh out
1t will certainly be very moderate yield,
tut the extent of the damage is not easily es-
timated.
Rush City Post, Aug. 2: Everybody in the
county, including the county officers, are
harvesting. The yield of grain through Sun
rise township, and in the timber country of
Chisago lake will be large, and the harvest is
getting well along.
Marshall Iyon county, Messenger, Aug.
8: To get back to No. wheat will seem
little tough to our farmers, but the road that
way seems the broad guage this year. Some
man in this county whose name we could
not learn, threshed a grist of new wheat this
week. 1t was considered very light, but
went eigeteen bushels to the acre.
| Pope County Press, Aug. 3: Some of the
| farmers in this section state that now they
have commenced cutting their wheat they
find it will not average as much as they ex-
pected. Wheat that they considered twenty
or twenty-five bushels per acre low esti-
mate a short time ago, will probably not
yield more than fifteen bushels per acre.
But they have one consolation in the fact
that, If the yield is not SO great, the price
will be higher per bushel.
Lanesboro Gilmore county, Journal,
Aug. 8: Hard Fife wheat, which has given
Minnesota reputation both for wheat and
-four all over the world, comes the nearest
to being an unfailing crop this year of
any other quality. Farmers ought to dis
card soft wheat altogether, and preserve
their worldwide reputation, which they can
not afford to exchange for any inferior
wheat, even it they can obtain slight in
crease in yield by SO doing.
Benson Swift Coz Times, Aug. 2; New
wheat will be coming into market in week
or SO, and those that thresh and sell early
will hit it, III our opinion. Wheat buyers
think from the present reports that the
wheat crop will be lighter than it will eventu
ally prove to be. For although it is true
that IN eastern Minnesota and some other
parts it is considerably damaged, yet through
Indiana, Ohio and the East generally, they
will have larger wheat crop than for
years.
HokahsE Houston Coz Blade, Aug. 8
Winter wheat raised in the vicinity of Ho-
kah this year is said to be splendid. The
crop was large and the quality good. Crop
reports from various parts of the county
continue discouraging, and the average yield
of wheat is not placed at over ten bushels
per acre. Some fields will not be harvested,
as the crop is worthless. Oats are fat to
the ground in many places and farmers find
livery difficult to cut them. Corn is looking
well everywhere.
| Jackson Republic, Aug. 3: The week ha:
been good one for harvest and farmers
have improved the time. Reports indicat,
much less rain here than in the countr,
