THE NORTHWEST WHEAT CROP.
G. f. MYERS.

The Minneapolis Journal last night
contained dispatches which, if reli
able, woulde tend to show that the
wheat crop of the northwest is not in
such bad shape as has been predicted.
These dispatches state that the aver
age yield in Morrison county will be
about ten bushels per acre. Very few
fields are said to be too poor to war
rant harvesting. and in several towns
the yield is up to the usual average.
In Becker county the average yield
is given at about nine bushels per acre,
as against twelve bushels last year In
Norman county it is reported that
wheat will average about as good as
last year, when there was more or less
damage by hail.
Annandale reports wheat in that
vicinity at about fifteen bushels per
acre, being slightly better than last
year. Sibley county will not show up
as well as last year. In the southern
counties the yield will run heavy, as
high as thirty bushels to the acre be-
ing reported. Martin county reports
that the average there will be twenty
bushels of No. 1. Around Adrian the
yield and grade is reported much bet
ter than last year.
From North Dakota the reports seem
to be much better than they were.
From the Devils Lake country the re-
ports state that the average will be ten
to twelve bushels per acre, full berry
and good grade.
Around Cando it is said that the
crop has greatly improved during the
past two or three weeks, and that the
general average for Towner county
will be about ten bushels per acre, or
from three to four less than last year
There are fields it is said, that will go
as high as twenty five bushels per acre.
Darlington, N D., report that one
half of the wheat acreage of Foster
county is not worth cutting, and that
the balance is estimated at from four
to ten bushels per acre. Wahpeton re-
ports that the wheat yield of Richland
county will reach 1000, 900 bushels,
or an average of nine bushels per acre,
against about fourteen bushels last
year.
Of course there are many localities
where the yield will be little or moth
ing but on the whole the crop seems
to have improved greatly over the pre-
dictions and estimates of month ago.
