From Other Points.

Huron-Crops all harvested before
bad weather set in. We will have a, big
wheat yield in this section.
Mankato--Weather has been very hot for
a week, but is cooler to-day. Wheat has
blighted badly in places and farmers are
looking blue.
Aberdeen-Tbis has been a scorching
day. Farmers are cutting wheat and the,
prospect for good yield is good. Some'
damage is reported, but not much.
Watertown-HOt weather is causing rust
and blight. Farmers are getting nervous.
Mercury 100 in the shade to-day and
wheat is being cooked before it is cut.
Red Wing-Chineh bugs are taking the
crop in this county. Some fields are yery
badly damaged, while others do notshow
much. Hot sun has caused some blight and
rust
Grand ForkS-The weather has notsbeen
favorable for wheat during the past week,
but so far no damage has beenreported. It is
hot to-day, and if this weather continues
damage will certainly result.
Rochester hot and showery weather
of the past ten days has knocked the
spots" out OF the wheat crop. Chinch bugs
and a peculiar kind of worm have helped to
make it lively for the farmer, and some
fields will not be worth cutting.

county are in pretty bad way. Chinch
bugs, hot sun, rain and hail have hurt
wheat very much. Some fields will not be
cut atall. Corn is looking well. having come
out under the forcing weather of the past
week.
Fargo-There has been good deal Of
rain i'll this locality during the past few
days, and the weather has been hot at
times. Some damage from blight and rust
is reported, but it is not generally believed
to be very heavy. A hail storm at Ada
yesterday morning ruined few hundreds
of acres of wheat, but the loss is not enough
to affect the entire crop. With cool weather
we will yet have good crop.
Winona-With the sun blazing down for
more than a week, crops have suffered Sc
verely. Wheat is ripening too fast, and
many farmers say they will have very
light harvest. Cutting has already COM
menced, in places, much earlier than was
expected, and much Of the grain isnOt fully
ripe. Farmers are so uneasy that they pre-
fer to cut it now and save what they can.
The WinOna IL st. Peter Railroad company
received reports to-day from about thirty
stations on their line, and nearly all say
the weather has been very unfayorable,
and some damage is reported all along the
road.
CrOokston-The weather has been very
wet and hot for ten days, and the wheat is
suffering. There is no use denying the
fact any longer. III all low places the
water is standing on the ground, and un-
less it stops soon machines cannot get into
the fields The grain is ripening very fast
under the forcing weather, and fields
which week ago looked as though they
would not be ready to cut before the 18th
of August, will be ripe next week. Grain
is bleaching instead of ripening properly
With cool weather from now till harvest is
over, we will have fair crop, nothing
more.
Bismarck-Mr. G. w. Ehle, of the firm
of Ehle d Co., has been in the country
in every direction and failed to find even
one poor piece of wheat, and says there is
no smut or damage from any cause.
