The weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending May 20, 1894, reports
frosts in the Red River valley, but not
enough to injure grain. There is al
so plenty of moisture in the soil, and
the deficiency in rainfall has been
beneficial, except in the case Of grass,
which would be improved by rain.
In the central section fruit has been
damaged by frost and lack of rain.
A great deal OF winter rye is headed
and in excellent condition. Tame hay
and pasturage looks we'll. Vegetation
did not make very rapid strides. The

sown later is stooling out we'll. Win

excellent and the hay crop promises
we'll. Some slight damages reported
to have been done by cut worms, and
chinch and potato bugs are becoming
more numerous. The rainfall was be-
low the average and very badly dis
