State Crop Bulletin.

The drought conditions which have
prevailed so long were relieved by
general rain on the 22nd, 23rd. and
9th, which slightly injured the grain
in shock and retarded stacking, but
did a great deal of good to all crops
not fully matured and placed the
ground in excellent shape for fall
blowing and the sowing of winter
grain.
Threshing still continues and the
yields are very uneven, but while
averaging considerably less than
usual, the quality is better, which is
a partial compensation for the loss
in quantity. The following results
were reported during the week:
Kittson Co.: Average yield from
20 to Is bushels in Northern portion
of the county. Polk Co.: From to
Is bushels. Hubbard Co.: Wheat
and oats will average about one-hali
usual yield. Otter Tail Co.: 6 to
II bushels. Wabasha Co.: Barley
yields 10 to % bushels, no wheat
thrashed yet. Lincoln Co.: 8 to IL
bushels. Lesueur Co.: Wheat yields
from 10 to 20 bushels per acre, oats
40 to so. Olmsted Co.: Wheat 12bu.
