BISMARCK, N. D., Aug. 1O-The wheat
crop in North Dakota this year will not, be
as large as sangu.nely predicted early In
the season when prospects were extremely
favorable. Drouth and extreme heat in the
western part of the state, damage done by
gophers which has reached an extent never
before approached in the state, grasshoppers
destructive hailstorms in the Red river val
ley particularly in Walsh and Cass coun-
ties have reduced the total considerably.
Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas est,
mates that the yield of wheat will be from
49, COO to 50,000,G00 bu. The wheat crop OF
last year is given by the same authority at
40, 000. COO.
