K CROP


The past has been another unfavorable week. While
light to heavy showers of rain have fallen over widely
separated sections, they have only afforded temporary re-
lief from the prevailing drouth. Heavy rains telllast night
in the Missouri valley, but are too late. to be of benefit, ex-
cept to some late grain and grass. The northeastern por-
ton of the state is suffering most, but 1t is nearly as bad all
damaged. III in some instances totally destroyed, and a great
deal Of it is being plowed up, and some sown to flax and
barley: Late wheat IS not doing well; there is No %, moisture rtE,e
of all grain is very short, probably the shortest ever seen
in this state. Grass is a failure, and the hay crop will be
light. Flax seems to be doing the best of all grain, but
is poor, compared with former crops. Corr: is growing
very slowly, and suffering, as is all vegetation, from the
drouth. Cut worms are still numerous IN the Red river
valley, and doing some damage. %s-
