WEATHER CROP REPORT.

U. S. q Department Of Agriculture-North Dakota Section-For Week
Ending May IS, 1899.
The past week has been the most favorable one Of the
season; the fore part was warm and pleasant, the latter
part very cold, with high winds, which did some damage on
light and sandy soil, by blowing out the grain, followed by
a hard freeze in most parts Of the state, in some places
freezing off grain that was above the ground, and damage
ing buds, fruit, and such other tender Vegetation as was up.
It is not believed, however, that any material damage was
done, as vegetation is too backward as yet to be harmed.
Wheat seeding is about finished except in the northern
counties, and oats, barley, rye and millet is being sown,
M some corn has been planted in the southern portions.
The ground is being prepared for flax, of which a much
larger acreage than usual will be sown.
