On the whole, the weather conditions
the past week have been quite favora-
BILE. The temperature averaged above
what it wat the previous week, although
the first three days of the present were
very cool, and light frost occurred on
Thursday morning, June Both, causing a
slight damage to gardens in Stark
county. The precipitation was, how
ever, badly distributed. 1t was above
the normal in both the eastern and
western sections of the state and greatly
deficient in the central. Slight injury
was caused by the excessive rains OF
June 9th to 10Th to corn and gardens
at Larrabee, Foster county, and to wheat
the 29th at Cando, Towner county.
Slight injury is also reported by hail
from Nelson, LaMoure and Towner
counties.
The crops have made a good growth
during the week, though still backward,
owing to too cool weather. Early sown
wheat is reported as heading out at
Mayville, Trail county, and rye heading
out in LaMoure and Nelson counties.
The correspondent at Mayville, Trail
county, also reports that weeds are
choking out the grain in several places.
Warmer weather and showers are needed
in all sections.

81 of an inch. The following reports Of
rainfall are received for that period:
Bismarck, Is; Buford, sd; Moorhead,
1.O1; Milton, so; Church's Ferry, 80;
Grand Rapids, "A; Power, 1.27; Sey-
mour, 80.
