CROP REPORTS.

Part of the State Continued Favorable
Reports From the St. 2. g. q. c. and
st. p. & Manitoba Lines.
A gentleman just returned from persist
ent land hunting trip in Rock county, Minn.,
and the adjoining counties of Dakota and
Iowa, having for several days closely OBJ
served the growing crops, says that the
wheat of that region stands as well end
promises as large yield as any he has sesn
in this State or elsewhere. He found that
the threshing machines of that section were
all engaged to go into the fields as soon as
tho grain is cut to thresh from the shock.
Mr.. Samuel Fl. Nichols, clerk of the su-
preme conrt, who returned yesterday from
brief visit TO Fergus Falls, his old home,
brings most 1attering reports of the crop
prospects in that section. The barley crop
is cut in splendid shape, and ssome, already
threshed, yielded '38 bushels to the acre,
grade No. 2, which is thought to be a fair
sample of the entire county. Oats are now
being harvested, and the yield is very large,
as high as eighty bushels being claimed for
some fields. Wheat Is filing out
splendidly and will be ready for the reaper
the first of next week. The grain is very
promising, and the claim is confidently made
by persons we'll informed through personal
examination, of an average of Is bushels to
the acre, the greater portion No. l, provided
of course the crop is saved in good shape.
