The weekly crop bulletin for the week
ending June 9Th says: Another week
with excessive rains retarded the growth
of all low land crops, which are turn
ing yellow and have in many places a
sickly look. No hail of consequence
accompanied the rains and beyond
washing the soil badly in spots, the
damage is not irretrievable. On the
high rolling and sandy lands all crops
continue to advance nicely, the wheat
has rooted we'll and the corn is being
generally cultivated. Wheat however
is reported as rule to be too rank ana
in danger later of lodging, without
more sunshine to cause stronger up
ward growth. In the Red River VAL
ley seeding of wheat is practically fin
l ished, some barley, oats, flax and mil
let will yet be sown, but largs areas are
, too wet to work and on account of the
lateness of the season will remain Idle
Complaints of weeds are unusually nu-
merous and in few cases wheat fields
have been plowed up to get rid of of
them. Cut worms are also doing con-
siderable injury, especially to corn and
garden truck, which has necessitated a
small amount of replanting. Grass
and pasturage are heavy and thick and
some June hay has been cut. The hay
harvest promises to be earlier than
usual. Potato planting is about half
done in the northeast or heaviest pro-
ducing section of the state. The week
has been favorable to fruit which con-
tinues to improve, except plums blight
ed too badly to recover. Home grown
Strawberries are now in the market
with the crop an uneven one, the old
beds being generally the best Take
} the state as a whole, crops in the south
) half are in much the best condition as
the rains there have not been so excess
: sive and the soil more readily absorbed
that which fell. In the north half
there is general gloom y feeling among
the farmers, which is caused as one cor
respondent tersely states by nothing
looking real healthy and fine, except
