Weekly Crop.Bulletin Report For
Week Ending, Monday,
September 8.
The past week has been attended with
considerable cloudy weather with show
ers in the eastern part of the state and
high winds on three days which retarded
.threshlng ONE. The crop is all har-
vested now and in most sections thresh-
ing is about half finished and this wsek
will see all shock threshing finished.
Heavy frosts and in some places freez-
ing temperatures have been experienced
during the past week, the mercury going
to 20 degrees at Bismarck Saturday
morning, but as a former frost had dam
aged everything that could be injured,
it was of no consequence.
Corn is generally matured enough to
be beyond being damaged although in
some places where it was late, it has been
Tipped by the frost.
