Sank Center--The dry weather has
about destroyed all prospects for wheat
oats and flax. Corn may come On later
II we get RAIN. Farmers have turned thin
cattle into the wheat fields.
LIE Sueur-Unless we get general rains
Immediately even the prospects in my
last report will be reduced A calamity
gins to curl and join in the cry for
water. Six bushels for wheat will be the
average in LIE Sueur, Sibley and Nicollet
counties. This will not be realized unless
We get rain quickly 1 hesitate to say it,
but total failure is really an imminent
danger. We have never seen crops de-
terlorate SO rapidly in our history as
the last two or three days. Understand
good rains at once will probably insure
80 per cent of ordinary results.
Caledonia-All crops good in this vicin-
ity, although very dry. The dry weather
mas not as yet effected the crops, and
will not for some time.
Austin-We can do without rain and
not injure our crops to any great ex-
tent, but a little rain would help us
within the next ten days and increase our
crops perhaps Is per cent The hay crop
will be very light, clover especially as
there seems to be very little; grown. AS
to oats the early variety will be a fair
average crop, but the late oats this far
seem to be very light, We have not much
wheat wheat sown In this section, but what
erage crop. Corn is looking we'll and is
a good stand and color. Flax that was
ssown early is fair, but the late sowing
is light. What we lack in quantity we
may make up in weight and quality, pro-
Vided we do not have rain during har-
Vestlng.
NORTH DAKOTA.
Observation-Disclosures ranges from
80 to 100 degrees. Our wheat crop Is vir-
ttually burnt up. VIII not get seed back.
We may get half or two-thirds crop of
flax if we get rain at once. Condition
has never been as bad. Farmers blowing
up crops.
Carrington-Early wheat total failure
Late wheat in bad condition. Flax fair if
we get rain at once. No rain for ten
days; Weather very hot, and hot winds
burning everything. If this weather con-
tnueS flax will be as bad as wheat
Thompson-Wheat crop now being
plowed under in many places We give
II up FOR total loss; II get rain by July
flax crop may be half Of usual yield.
Hope-A few pieces of wheat on sum

wheat: Flax still holding it's own, but
past few DAYS of extreme hot weather
just beginning to affect it unfavorabIv.
Buxon-Wheat oats and fax present
prospect one-fourth of a light crop, say
four bushels per acre.
'>'JpGIStOWn-Wl Ill nave no wheat CrOD
at all. May have some flax II It rains in
five or six days. Have. had no rain here
yet.
Idsbon-With heavy rains within ten
Flax holding its own and rain will give
fair crop. Hay crop very short.
Sneleon- Wheat is almost Il complete
failure Flax is not much better Unless
we get rain within week or ten days
lax will not go over three bushels per
acre on an average. Oats are in about
the same condition.
Cas5elton-As I predicted before, unless
we get plenty of rain there is danger of
a total failure of our crops-wheat, flax
AMI cats. The weather during past week
has been very hot. and wheat, fax and
oats have suffered greatly; unless we get
co0e, weather and plenty of rain WITHIN
a few days we may not have anything to
harvest; it looks like a total failure in
this county.
Tower C!ty-1he prospect for a crop III
this vicinity is very poor at the present
writing. Have not had rain for several
weeks, and much Of the wheat Is beyond
hope. Some Of the late sown and wheat
on breaking is looking fair. but cannot
stand tie drought much longer. Flax
will be fair crop If rain comes soon.
Corn poor. No fodder.
Milncr-Corn and flax very fair. Oats
and wheat are poor: immediate rains nee
essary to bring one-third Of a crop.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Redfeld-Wheat promises five to ten
bushels per acre with favorable condi-
tions. Crop fairly good. Corn poor stand.
but otherwise starting well. Potatoes
looking well.
Aberdeen-Not over one-fourth of a
crop of wheat at best. Everything else
on about same basis.
Desmet-Wheat crop about one-fourth
Oats and corn little better than one
fourth. Flax fair, about one-half crop
of late sowing.
FIandreau-With favorable weather
from now on we viii get about one-third
to one-fourth Of crop.
MadiSon-CoIn Is firSt-clasS. Wheat
about two-thirds crop; same would apply
to barley and oats. Grass good; plenty
of rain.
Parker-SmalI grain looking fairly well

and promises good crop. Grass being cut
for hay will make an average yield. Tame
grass. good. No complaint being made by
farmers.
SaIem-Wheat will be light crop. Con
is doing finely Oats and barley will be
very light.
Freeman-Crops are very nice around
here now. We had some good rains. One
nice rain in about week will give. US a
big crop this year
