WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Generally dry, hot weather has prevailed during the past
week, which has n1atured grain rapidly. While light scatter
ed showers have fallen in sections, the rainfall has not been
enough to do any good, with the exception of that which
fell in Trail county, but it was accompanied by hail that
was so severe, that in addition to totally destroying all vege-
tation in its path. it also destroyed buildings, and in at
least one instance, human life.
Wheat harvest is we'll under way in all sections except
the northern; it is generally too short to be cut with binders
or headers, and a great deal of it is being moved. and
raked up afterwards. The grade of what has been har-
vested is good, but no reports of yield of more than 4bushels
per acre have been received. Oats are also being cut, as
is barley, but the yield is light in both cases. Flax seems
to have deteriorated during the past week, and reports of
they have been before this season. Flowing under of grain
still 1. continues ii, IS, flax now being added to the list.
Corn and potatoes are generally doing we'll, but they are
in need Of rain. Haying is in progress with a poor yield
in all sections.
