ticipation Of three weeks ago. Best reports
on the Manitoba line are from points be-
tween and including Ashby and Rothsay.
In the valley proper some crops are very
good: others nearly worthless, owing to
lack of drainage and excessive rains. The
injury TO wheat has not been confined to
any one cause, but many reasons are as
signed. There is an insect that has made
its appearance here for the first time and
has done its share of damage. Then the
extreme heat Shrunk all the grain more or
less. especially the later fields. In this
county the hail loss has not been very gen.
eral or great. but sufficient to have its
effect on the total yield. The extraordi-
nary rains have been more damaging than
hail. They have not only laid the wheat
down. but in wheat thus rapidly ripened
the dashing rains have the effect to shell out
the grain.
