Good Crop Outlook.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, July 29.-Stearns, Ben

possibly few exceptions in certain localities,
are going to have one of the most bount!ful
harvests these sections of Minnesota have

menced in some localities. 1t is believed that
by the middle of next week the gathering of
the great crop of yellow hard will be gen.
eral. Reports from all the surrounding coun-
try are of a most encouraging nature. Where
crops have suffered at all, it is in low wet
places, resulting from heavy rains of late
but as rule farmers are happy and con-
tented,
