ending June 25, is as follows: The
the latter part of the week was very
warm, with the maximum tempera-
lures ranging from 80 to IS degrees.
Local and generally very light
showers early in the week relieved

more than momentary freshening
of the verdure. From the middle
Minnesota valley southwark. and
southeastern counties lying along
the Iowa line, owing to rains OF pre-
vious weeks the drought is not felt
so severely, but even in these sec

good as they are usually. Spring
wheat seems to be standing the dry
conditions better than oats and bar
ley, but on sandy soil this crop is
said to be so dried up as to be worth
less for cutting; on heavier soils all
the small grains may yield some
grain, but the straw is short, the
stand irregular and thin and the
heads small. The grains are hea..

which had a good start is apparently
holding out we'll. but late fax is thin
and poor, and all of it must have rain
soon. Winter rye, and also the
small acreage of winter wheat, is
ripening Small grains are being
plowed up for forage crops and for
flax in some sections. In the south
