WEATHER CROP REPORT.

WEATHER CROP REPORT.
U. S. Department Of AgrcuNure-North Dakota Section-For Week
Ending Aug. ID, 1899.
The past week has been generally cool and dry in the
central and western portion of the state, and warm and wet
in the eastern and northeastern portion. On Thursday a
succession of hail storms passed over the state, doing great
damage to grain of all kinds, the principal damage being
in the Red river valley, where the crops in the northern
part OF Cass and the southern part of Trail counties were
badly injured; in many cases being a total loss, while in
Eddy, Foster, Griggs and Barnes counties considerable
damage was done. The loss by the storms will probably
reach nearly two million bushels of the wheat crop. Other
i, sections of the state than those named above were also
visited by hail, doing but slight damage, while in all sec
tions high winds have shelled ripe grain, and where the
straw was heavy, lodged it.
Wheat cutting is nearly finished in the southern portion,
we'll advanced in the central, and just beginning in the
northern part of the state. Late sown grain is maturing
very slowly on account of the. cool weather. The rains
have greatly benefited late sown flax, corn and potatoes,
while they have damaged a large amount of hay in the
eastern and northern part of the state.
