STILL HO Pc FUL.
Notwithstanding the Hot Weathel
the Msjority ofSthes Cropssares
Still All Right.
Only Few Farmers Report an
Irreparable Damage 10 the
Small Grain.

While Corn, Potatoes and Vegetables
Of All Kinds Never Looked
Better.
VIM. G. McCarty:. Three and half
acres Of potatoes and acre Of corn. Have
no wheat, but;coril and potatoes get along
all right. The other crops wheat and
ats-in my neighborhood look first rate.
OF course the dry wind we had didn't do
any good. but you see We have been having
cool nights to Offset that, and everything
grows in great shape. There is no use
talking about it, we are going to have q
good crop; l don't see how we can very
we'll avoid 1t, unless we have too many Of
those hot days.
Sam Lawrence: Look here, let me show
you sample of my timothy. Measure it
and you will find that 1T IS just A inches
high. How's that? did not select it
either. Havn't got much of it, but am
satisfied that timothy grows as we'll in this
country as anywhere. This is just an ex-
pertinent, it is true, but enough to con-
vince me. We ought to rrise more of it.
How about my crops? Well, guess they
are ali o K. That wind and heat failed to
hurt 'em any in my neighborhood. Think
now that all danger has passed. 5 A
j. B. Glasc0t: Little over 200 acres of
wheat about 260 I guess, and about 50
acres Of oats, 20 Of flax. Have few acres
of potatoes. don't claim to be bonanza
farmer, but at all events I have pretty
big crop. My wheat and oats both looked
we'll up to yesterday. and can't tell what
effect the dry winds have had yet. think
will come out all right.
w. B. Hibbs: Have about 800 acres of
wheat, oats and millet, and they look
very well now.
Alfred Thompson: Have over 900 acres
of grain. Have 100 acres north of town,
about four miles away, and about 400
acres in Logan township. Grain all looks
very we'll. Have good deal of summer
following, which is by far the best. The
hot winds Of Thursday and Friday doubt
less did some damage.
Thomas Richards: About 400 acres of
wheat and oats and some millet and corn
about 20 acres of corn and 80 to 40 of
millet. Ny crop looks WELL
Irwin Small: Well, I can't say that my
crop looks as well as it did several weeks
ago. The dry weather has effected the
oats and did very little damage to wheat.
If we don't have too much dry weather
from now on guess everything will turn
out all right.
James Sebrey: My father William
Sebrey, says the crop on his farm does not
look as well as it ought 10 just now. The
hot winds has done great deal of damage.
Fred Selle: Have in 19O On Strauss farm,
and 80 acres of my own. Corn and millet
looks quite we'll, but wheat and oats are
damaged. About 40 acres Of my wheat
will be a total loss. It. "a j. s
A. Il. Avery: j have been in the country
several days, and must say the crop
prospect is not very fattering. am going
to assist G. H. Phelps In his st. "a from laow
until after the Fourth. H
G. w. Rawlings: Three hundred and
eighty acres Of wheat, 100 of oats, q Of
corn, 18 of potatoes, 20 Of millet. Wheat
has looked pretty well until the last two
days; think we are good for half crop
anyway, and if we get some rain in few
days we will have good crop. I don't
! think crops are damaged so much as they
think. saw several good pieces of wheat
while coming to town. Corn has grown
like everything -the past few days. It's
good weather for corn, but pretty tough on
grain. 3$
D.R. Holbrook: The reservation is all
right. The crops have not been seriously
injured down our way. have in go acres
Of wheat, 20 Of oats, Of corn and same Of
potatoes. The corn looks well-its great
corn weather. have 10 acres Of oats that
are an even foot and ia half high. Small,
Swanson and all my neighbors have good
crops. Those clouds that went east last
night will come back in a few days and
there will be plenty of rain. a
Thos. F. Campbell: My grain is still all
right, but tell you it was narrow escape;
had those scorching winds continued the
grain would have been ruined. George
Brooks neld Of rye is beauty; it was not
injured in the least. Wheat put in with
pressed drill or plowed in now looks the
best. The top sowed grain looked the best
for while but it tcouldn't stand the hot sun
and it fell behind.
Thinks Bismarck Is all Right.

shal Maratta yesterday afternoon, while a
group Of citizens were conversing on the
prospects and future of the country. "You
