Crop Comments.

Larinore Leader: Wheat is booming
right along. and good crops are promised
every where.
The crop prospects in Grand Forks
county are the best ever known in the
history of the county.
Tyndall Tribune: The outlook mover
was better in this section. Small grain
has started out we'll and corn is a good
stand.
Crops at Melville, in Foster county,
are looking finely. With an average
crop it is expected that 100000 bushels
of grain will be marketed at that point
this season.
Mandan Times: The crops all over
Morton county are reported in the best
OF condition. The weatherin this sec-
tion of Dakota continues fine, ard the
farmers are jubilant over the pro. poets.
Mitchell Republican,: Everything
this season seems to favor the farmer
and his crops, and if the season holds
out as it has commenced, the yields of
this fall will surpass the wonders of pre-.
vious years.
Fargo Republican: If the weather
continues as propitious until the har-
vest is gathered, as it has been since the
grain was sown. we may expect the
greatest wheat crop known in the records
of agriculture.
Klmball Graphic: If the season con-
tinues as favorable to crops as the past
two months, south Dakota will harvest
magnificent crop, exceeding that OF last
year, which at that time was unexcelled
in the history Of Dakota.
