County Reports Concerning the Crop
Conditions for Week Ending
June IS, 1894.

While the weather conditions during
the past week were very favorable for
vegetation in nearly all parts of the state,
and good showers have fallen in many
locations since the reports printed below
we're sent in, yet the damage by the pre-
vlous hot day weather was too severe to
be %remedied, The sections where the
largest crops are grown are the ones
from which the reports of damage comes,
which seems to be principally to the
wheat crop and hay. Corn is, as a gen.
eral thing, a good crop everywhere.
lame hay is now being cut, and is thin
and short. Oats, barley, fax and millet
are doing fairly we'll and the prospects
for a good potato crop is excellent. The
wild hay in the vicinity of Williston is
being cut, and promises an excellent |
crop. Wheat is heading out in most Sec
lions, and the straw will be very short, |
averaging from 4 to II inches in length.
Small fruits are doing we'll, and an
abundant crop is promised in the Sec
tions where they are cultivated. Slight
damage by hail is reported in the south
western part of the state.

crops are doing fairly well.
