CROP SPECIALS
Following are special crop reports received
by the PIONEER PRESS yesterday:
Buffalo, N. D-The recent heavy rain has i'm
proved the looks OF small grain to u great Xtent
Wheat Is looking very promising to what IL ull
q week ago. 1t stands from ! . to 26 lncho.
high. is generally well beaded. well filled anu
plump. 1t stands the best in low lands. ON
high ground the hot wind and sun have almost
cooked 1t i'll places. Farmers report the wheat
deceiving, and claim that the crop is going to D"
double what it is estimated. Thy say they can
look for from eighteen to twenty bushels pei
acre on an average, but it is generally thought
will average from ten to fifteen bushels per acre
The oat cr"p in some places is n total failure and
III other places cannot BE- beaten Barley Is Il
fair crop; it is almost ready to cut.
La MOure n. D.-The present outlook fol
crops is very discOuraRing. The estimate toI
the county Is placed at about One-quarter OF
good crop.
Huron. S. D.-The damp and cloudy weather
during the past week has somewhat delayed
harvest but has greatly benefited late crops
corn and garden truck. A number of fields OF
wheat already in shock estimated at from
ten to fifteen bushels to the acre. Beadie county
Vermillion, s. D.-Harvest of small grain is at
it's height. Rust has done considerable damage
some pieces being hardly worth cutting, Others
n fair yield. Very heavy rains have fallen In the
past week, helping corn, but damaging other
grain.
Warren. Minu.-Crops have improved won,
dertully since the rains.
Steele, N. D.-Your correspondent has just re-
turned from personal inspection of the wheat
fields OF ktdder EmmOnS and Logan counties
and is positive that the entire yield of the three
counties above named
bushels to the acre. True, in each county few
small fields will turn out ten bushels, and per
haps an occasional one fifteen. but the general
average Is below ANYTHING IN cur rast eXperl-
ence. The late rains Will aid very much the
oat, harley, mllet and potato CROP but cannot
save the wheat.
Hector, Minn.-Crops continue to look fine aud
healthy. Flax, wheat and oats are looking the
best they have for years.
Ledgerwood, Dak.-No rain since last Thurs
day. Weather very hot yesterday; cool to-day,
Norris Mtnu.-The outlook for crops in stew
ems county is the best for years past The
heads of wheat are large and hiling we'll; Other
grains equally promising.
Mlnnewaukau. n. D.-A four hours heavy rain
yesterday afternoon has put everybody in good
spirits again. Benson county 5 wheat crop we
now think will reach 40 per cent, flax 80 pei
cent.
Brooktngs, S. D. The two soaking rains OF
the past week have been OF iucalCulable benefit
to late crows. Wheat is heating nicely, filing
clear to the top. Oats ale very poor, there beIng
not enough in sight for feed. Corn is good. but
the acreage is small. Flax is the staple this
year, and while some fields are light. most of it
is good and promises TO yield well.
Chamberlain, s. D-Harvesting is nearly over
in this county Along the river in the neigh
bOrhood of Chamberlain the crop is very good,
III many pieces wheat running fifteen bushels tC
the acre. Rain has fallen every Gay for the past
week. and corn is i'll an excellent condition. A
good hay crop is now assured.
Lanesboro. Minn.-We report the finest CROP
prospect that Fillmore county has been able tC
boast at this stage OF crop development tor the
past ten years. In fact wheat, oats, corn and
barley were never more promising than al
present.
Neche, N D-The rains have improved pros
poets and farmers think now they will have half
crop OF wheat: barley an average crop. The
hay crop is a failure and many farmers are try
| ing to dispose of their cattle in view of the an
tiCipat ed scarcity OF hay.
1ankton, 5. ID. Prospects are that the corn
crop in this section will be very large We are
having hotter weather now than at any previous
time this year, with frequent showers
Delano Minn.-Farmer5 who have cut winter
wheat here think 1t will thrash forty bushels to
the acre. Other crops are equally promising.
Clear Lake. S. D-Thts county has been
blessed with plenty of rain the past week. and
nearly all Of the wheat IN the county is good
The flax crop was never better and there is a
larger acreage than ever before. Corn is rather
backward. but is growing very fast at present.
Oats are mostly rather short and light.
Salem, S. D-The recent rams have very much
in proved the crops hereabouts. but came too
late to save some fields of wheat, but assures
good grass crop.
Mazeppa. Miun.-Harvestin2 commences in
this vicinity July 10. The prospects are for the
largest crop harvested in this section since the
large crop of 1876. Barley, Oats and wheat will
all bring very large yields Corn, though still
backward, is advancing rapidly during the warm
weather we are having at present.
WinOna, Minn.-Crop reports of the same en-
couraGing kind from all the counties of South
ern Minnesota continue to come in. Winter
wheat and barley are being cut Throughout this
section by many and in tive more days cutting
will be general. Both crops are heavy. Corn
has been picking up rapidly in the last two
weeks. while the reports of the hay crop are
more encouraging than first sent out. Even
chronic grumblers among tho farmers are forced
to concede That prospects are better than seen
here for Vears.
Lake City-The harvest of winter wheat and
rye in this section is nearly over, the Weld being
large, with the exception of some patches of
wheat which were touched with rust. The gen.
eraI barley harvest has commenced and that OF
| spring wheat and oats will be accomplished
within this month, a few days earlier than
usual. The yield of all the small grain crops
| will be heavy and the quality No if no bad
weather interveres before the harvesting is COM
| pleted The wheat area in this county is COM
parrtively small this year. but there is a large
acreage OF barley, oats and corn, the latter prom
| ising we'll.
MaDkato The Register, whose editor has trav-
| eled extensively through the county, predicts
| the following average Yields of grain for the
county: Wheat. 20 bushels per acre; oats, 40:
| barley, 80: flax ] l. Hubbard e Co. have made
| careful inspection of the crop, and announce
| that the wheat will be the best i'll the lat seven
| or eight years and that only two grades will bt
| known-No. ! hard and No. l Northern. Barley
| is all harvested and many farmers are emitting
| oats. Wheat is turning, and harvest Will be
along in from a week to ten days, Corn is tas-
| selling in good style and bids fair to be Il good
crop. Farmers and business men arc greatly en-
| couraged and look forward to q year of unex-
peCted prosperity.
Rochester-The weather has been dry in Ohm
| sted county during tho week, ald grain OF Ill
| kinds seems to be maturing finely. Barley is
| being put in shock rapidly and many fields arc
estimated at fifty bushels per acre. On the
| whole, the small grains promise better than III
| any year since the great crop of 1877. The
growth of straw is sufficient to lodge few fields
now in places but there has been fortunate
| lack of wind throughout the entire season. Pc.
tatoes surpass any previous year in both acreage
| and promise.
