Week Ending, Monday,
June 10th.
The past week has been most favorable
for small grain, but unfavorable for corn
and gardens. Heavy rains have fallen in
every part of the state and soaked the
ground more thoroughly than it has been
before for a long time.
The temperature has been below the
normal all the week, and the sun has been
obscured by clouds nearly all the time,
retarding the growth of corr and
gardens. but wheat and grass have made
rapid progress.
Cut worms are doing considerable
damage to corn in the southern counties,
and blackbirds are reported as damaging
it in Kldder county.
Grass has, as a general thing, made
rapid progress, and the prospects for a big
crop of hay are very tlattering.
The growth of the small grain has been
something wonderful. A sample stool of
wheat from Walsh county was received at
office today which measured 10 inches
in height and three inches in diameter
where it emerged from the ground. Rye
is already heading out, and the prospects
are now good for an early harvest.
There was a light frost at Bismarck this
(Monday) morning, but doing no per.
ceptible damage, and the Geographic
reports do not show any in the other parts
of the State.
