The Reaper Will Begin on Wheat
This Week - Crops in Good
Shape.
The recent reports of rusted wheat
aud chinch bug ravages have been, very
evidently, exaggerated. According to
the weekly report of Signal Officer
Healy, the CROPS are in good condition
generally. and any damage limited to
small area. The report says:
The temperature was about normal
in Minnesota during the week. Min
imum, so deg. at Moorhead on the oath;
maximum, IS deg. at st. Vincent on the
25th; average for the state, SO deg. The
measured rainfall during the week is as
follows: Duluth, / inch; Montevideo,
rs; Redwood Falls. .63; st. Vincent.
Sc; st. Paul, 40; Moorhead, 80;
Crookston, .23; Medford, ia; Red
Wing. .03; La Crosse, .01.
In the Western part of the state
average sunshine prevailed;, elsewhere
there was an excess of cloudy weather.
The weather has been favorable, and
the harvesting of rye, winter wheat,
barley and oats is in progress i'll various
localities. Haying continues also, with
quality and quantity good. The har-
vesting of spring wheat will become
general in the southern counties during
the next ten days. Occasional COM
plants of rust are still heard, but it IS
the belief that damage from that cause
will not be serious. About week ago,
chintz bugs were discovered in some
fields, inSteele county; they are also at
work in parts of Dakota county.
