Melrose Record: L. G. Bloomfield, who
has just returned from visit to his friends
at Wlllmar, reports the crops in splendid
CONDITION. Rye is remarkably tall; he
measured some stalks that were eight feet
long. Wheat is lodged somewhat, but with
fair weather and no high winds it will come
out all right. Corn is growing finely, and
other crops never promised better returns
LIE Roy Independent: Farmers are
tranquil over the prospect of an abundant
wheat crop. Already the mower is in the
grass, the reaper preparing to thrust in his
machine and the thresher's thoughts are
roaming over dream land where the wheat
pours out OF the separator spout in stream
so large that it covers up the measure and
the lightning self-tallyer is red-hot in count
ing the bushels. Let her spout.
Willmar Republican Gagette: Crops are
looking splendidly. Grain looks uncom-
monty well, but the quality of wheat will be
considerably damaged by the superhuous
quantity of cookie. Farmers are preparing
for hay making, but will hardly commence
until after the 4th. The grass is thrifty and
nearly matured. and if hay is scarce next
spring, 1t will be on account of not putting
! forth suitable efforts to cut, cure and stack
! it in season.
Wells Advocate: short trip among the
farmers last week exhibited to US magnif-
cent prospect for an abundant harvest. We
| went past miles and miles of green wheat
! fields whose blades glistened and waved in
the sunlight and which stood as rank as the
clapboards on house. The heads of most
pieces are just peeping forth, and we pre-
dict that the harvest will be at least two
| weeks earlier than most of years. with the
present indication.
The Worthington Advance: splendid
prospect "Never saw such wheat!'' etc..
are the explosives we hear daily about the
growing crop of small grain. This seems to
be general throughout the State. AS to
| corn, it seems to be a little s'poky,'' and has
been attacked by something, either the rust
| or the weevil, or the hollow horn, or some
| other parasite, as it were. But we don't
give up the corn conundrum vet. AS we
once heard farmer say in Ohio, ga cult
vator's great excuse on corn.'' Plenty of
cultivation and plenty of sunshine will bring
the corn out yet.
Rock County Herald: The growing crops
IN this section present all appearance calcu-
lated to gladden. the heart of the husband
man. Grain in Iowa and eastern Minnesota
is reported to be badly damaged by rust, bnt
our crops, although showing symptoms of
this, have as yet suffered no injury. Already
farmers are overhauling their machinery and
preparing for the harvest which will soon be
upon them, and if kind Providence will
guard our growing crops from calamity vet
few weeks more, there will be garnered
mere such harvest as Dame Nature
yields only in her chosen and most favored
spots.
