U. S. Department of Agricuture--North Dakota section-For Week
Ending Aug. y 1899.
The past week has been like it's predecessor, cool, and
except for scattering showers, dry. Rain is needed for
corn and potatoes, and would benefit late sown grain,
which has been considerably injured by the hot dry
weather.
The most damage so far; has been done by hail; a storm
Of this kind did great damage in Pelnbina county, and in
several other places damaged small areas of grain consider
ably:
Wheat harvest is we'll under way, except in the northern
portion of the state; and while the crop has been damaged
to some extent by previous hot dry weather, it is not
thought that the damage has been so extensive as first
reported. No Nc, thresh,ng, except Of rye and barley has been
needs rain. Grain is as a rule, filling we'll, except in some
widely separated places.
