THE HARVEST is ON,
And the Crop Reports Continue
to Boom the Prospects.
The latest crop report of the Omaha
road, received last night, indicates that
the time for reporting prospects is about
over, and actual realities will soon be
reached. Past reports from this section
Of country have shown that far better
than an average crop will be harvested,
and now that the harvest has actually
begun, these reports are being verified.
All over Southern Minnesota the
harvest is progressing rapidly,
with favorable weather, and at some
points the grain is all stacked for
threShing. 1.-The crop is better than eX-
pected," is the burden of the report
from nearly every point in Southern
Minnesota. Madelia says the wheat is
all cut and abundant yield. Bingham
Lake reports the wheat the best crop
for years. Shakopee says large crop
is assured. st. Peter finds wheat above
the average. Gilmore says the wheat is
all in shocks and the best for years.
Garden City thinks the yield will be
about twenty bushels to the acre.
These are fair samples of the reports
from that section. At Jordan. the
winter wheat Is suffering from wet,
which is the one exception to the uni
versal tone of fine outlook.
The harvest in Dakota is little later
and the points covered are only in line
south of Sioux Falls and Chamberlain.
Montrose and Fulton report about BALI
wheat crop, but Sioux Falls. Chamber
lain, Valley Springs. Spencer, Hartford.
and Mitchell all make satisfactory re-
turns.
Iowa and Nebraska points. of course,
turn up with the regular glowing re-
ports.
