1t is too Tar gone to revive.
RAMSEY
Crary-Prospects for the early sown
grain is poor, owing to the dry weather,
which was broken by a good rain last Mon.
day. The late sown grain looks the best
low. With favorable weather we may
have a fair crop yet.
Benzion-The crops are looking fine
in this vicinity. They have not suffered
rain much yet, but the straw will be a
little short this year. The crop of oats
and barley will be short on account of the
dry spell we have had.
RANSOM
Buttzville-One inch of rain Tuesday
night. Crops looking fine, wheat is head
ing very short. The drouth has damaged
crops from 80 to 40 per cent. especially the
sOWn ones.

showers during the week have been of
great benefit to late seeding. Corn and
flax look fine. Farmers are jubilant over
the prospects for a good crop.

dry in this immediate vicinity. Rains re-
ported in northwestern portion OF county.

goth land a very heavy one on the 21st,
which almost inSures a good crop.
SARGENT @
Milnor-This has been a good week for
all grain in this vicinity, with plenty of
rain around this place, but the townships
yet, and their prospects for good crops are
poor.
Brookland-Grain has improved very
much this week. Light showers have fall
len all the week, sufficient for early wheat.
A good rain is needed for late sown flax,
millet and hay. The latter crop is very
short.
South Heart-Crops look splendid.
Plenty of rain.
Gladstone-Plenty Of rain during the
week. and crops of all kinds are doing as
we'll as could be expected after such a
drouth. The western half of this county
will have a good average crop it the bal
ance of the season is favorable. Hail or
the 10Th did considerable damage in the
central part of the county. Corn and gar
den truck was damaged the most.
Dickinson-We have the best crops we
ever had at this time of year. Plenty of
rain the past week.
Belfeld-Weatner has been favorable for
all kinds of grain during the past week.
Things look we'll.

grain looking pretty good. The weather
has been warm all the week.
sTUTsMAN
Ypsilanti-Very dry. Grain beginning
to head, and from two to six inches high.
We cannot have one-half a crop here. Light
showers Tuesday and Thursday nights.
Hay crop will be light
TRAILL
Hillsboro-The past week has been very
favorable. Warm weather with light
showers which has kept the ground moist
and grass and grain growing nicely. Early
seeded wheat will soon head, but straw
will be short. Corn doing splendid, as is
small fruits and potatoes.
Blanchard = Frequent showers have
helped all grain. Prospects are good for
a medium yield. Oats and barley doing
we'll. Timothy hay being cut. Very light
crop.

orable, with several showers of rain.
Grain is looking we'll.
Park River-Copious rains have fallen
in this vicinity, during the past week
Crops of all kinds are greatly improved,
and although seemingly injured by the
late hot winds and drouth, will probably
average a good half crop.
Edinberg-Week not SO hot as preceding
one. On the 18th we had half an inch Of
demptlon Tor an average crop. Few fields
have more than half an average stand. It
Is thin, short, and will soon head QUIT
ELL
Sykeston-Pr0spects still remain as good
as in any previous year, at least through
the south half of the county. A heavy
rain fell on the 10Th, followed by another
thing down out of sight. 1t insures the
potato crop, but the grain depends on the
July weather.
