CROP REPORTS.


Some Damage Done by the Rains of Thurs
Day Night-They Extend Over Half the
State-Harvest Prospects and Revised Es-
Enthusiastically Favorable Reports.

railroad offices in st. Paul yesterday the rains
of Thursday afternoon and night covered
about all that part of the State that lies
east of line which might be extended from
Aitkin to Lincoln counties. In many places
the rain was heavy but only in few was it
accompanied by high wind. Some DAM
age occurred by wetiing of cut grain and
by the lodging of nearly ripe grain, but the
heaviest loss was in time-haryest work
having been suspended yesterday forenoon.

are equally promising.
