Albert Lea Freeborn county, Standard,
July II The wheat crop in this county
promises to be fair one of good quality.
Some pieces are slightly blighted, and will
yield light crops, but we believe the prospect
is good for q fair crop and better prices than
usual. Corn looks exceedingly we'll, as in
deed, does everything else.
Wells Faribault county Advocate, July II:
Complaints that rust has struck the wheat
in some few instances come from farmers.
Most of the rye and barley around here will
be cut and in the shock this week, while
many pieces of wheat is turning. We have
fortunately escaped all of the severe storms
thus far, but it is not too late to catch them
yet.
Willmar (Kandiyohi county, Republican
Gazette, July II: It is too early yet to at
tempt anything like an accurate estimate of
the wheat crop of the county. From all we
can learn from farmers living in different
parts of the county, the yield is likely to be
fully an average one and of good quality.
Much, however, depends on the weather dur
ing the next week or ten days.
Owatonna Steele county, Journal, july
10: This week there is displayed in front
of Mr.. John Shea's store stalk of corn ten
feet high, the growth of sixty days from the
planting. It presents rich, healthy color,
and was taken from a field of ten acres lust
like it, on the farm of Mr.. M. j. Toher. The
corn was planted on the 18th day of Nav
and the stalk cut and brought to town on
the 18th of June.
st. Charles (Winona county, Times, july
10: The weather up to this writing WED
nesday) has not materially injured the wheat
crop in this locality, the Indications at this
time being that the hot weather has broke,
and the cool northwest breeze being very
favorable for the maturity of the crop, which,
II not damaged by the chinch bug, will re-
turn profit to the farmer much greater
than was expected one week ago.
Wabashaw (Wabashaw county, Herald.
July 16: AS yet the heavy rains of late
have not seriously injured the crops in this
vicinity, and with favorable weather for the
next month farmers will reap an abundant
harvest. Considerable hay has been injured
and destroyed during the past week by rain.
In some fields rust has made it's appearance
on the grain, but as yet has done no serious
damage.
Red Wing (Goodhue county, Republican,
July IL: The estimates of those best quail
fed to judge, farmers and those who have
sampled crops for years, is that the wheat
crop of this county will be fully an average
one. There is blight to some extent, esti-
mated at not over ten per cent. of the grain
set, which is thought to have been fully that
much above average years. The weather
since Monday is all that could be wished, and
one week more of it will bring the wheat ready
for the SICKLE
St. Cloud lstearns county, Journal Press,
July IL: The wheat in this Immediate
vicinity is looking remarkably we'll.
In few fields some damage has been
done in low places by standing ponds of
water, while IN others small amount of rust
may be seen on the leaves. Oats stand
thick and give promise of an abundant YIELD
Corn, with the exception of few pieces on
very damp soil, never looked better, and
unless injured by early frost will be good
