siderable damage in limited areas in the northern and east.
Wheat harvest is we'll under way in the central part of
the state, about completed in the southern portion, and just
commencing in the northern. Some threshing has been
done in the Red river valley, and yields are reported as

R1CHLAND.B Of wheat about through: only about
oats are being injured by the warm weather; hay also about a quar-
ter of crop. W~alcott-Harvest is now general; some have already
finished; weather warm and dry. Hankinson-Weather has been
favorable for harvesting, and three quarters of the wheat is cut;
wheat is smutty, and will be short of half a crop. Wahpeton-Har,
vesting nearly completed in this vicinity: no rain to speak of but
still hot and dry; Power-The recent great heat could not further
damage wheat, oats or flax; corn recently planted for fodder, is hurt
greatly; grass seems to be entirely dead; harvesting finished and
stacking begun; threshing will begin in about a week. Abercrombie
Wheat and oats nearly all cut: late flax, corn and potatoes need rain
badly; threshing will begin this week.
ENT-Harlem- well under way: grain too short to bind:
corn and potatoes at a standsill; grass drying out: very dry and hot
weather.
has commenced, but there is yerv
little wheat to cut; flax has deteriorated during past week: potatoes
light.
Observation-Disclosures hot and very dry: some fields of wheat
rpening and drying up in the head, but most of the wheat looks we'll:
hay crop lighter than was expected: oats and barley not looking we'll.
Cando-Wheat cutting will begin in about a week: wheat is filling
well: oats poor; barley fair; flax uneven.
has been very warm, with no rain. az
cept a light shower on the 18th: everything suffering from drouth:
what little grain there was to cut, is harvested: flax is driving un and
some think it will be powed under. Cummings-Harvest IS mostly
done, as the bulk of the grain was powed under: three inches of rain
fell on the 4th, which will make fall feed Caedonia-Large quaint
ties OF grasshoppers are appearing here: pastures are getting good:
we may get some miuet; the little wheat that was left is mostly ali
cut; only a few will get any oats; 70 threshing done yet. Mayvine-
cutting well under way; heavy rain on the 4h will help potatoes,
corn and fodder.

of very good quality; too dry for flax and milet. Park River-Wheat
all burned up by the hot sun; flax drying up: there is an insect work.
