WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

The past week has been generally dry and cool; some
localities have, however, received heavy showers of rain
which were OF great benefit to all vegetation. The rains
OF the 4th and 5h saved the entire crop, or what was left
OF it on that date, and a general improvement of all grain,
except wheat, which was, as a general thing, too far gone
to recover at that time, is noted in the reports received this.
week.
The blowing up of wheat fields is still going on, and in
some INSTANCES they have been resown to flax, which is,
with the exception of that lately sown, in quite a promising
condition, bidding fair to give almost an average yield.

sown fodder crops are now doing we'll. Potatoes and corn

crop and of poor quality.
been beneficial, but should it turn very warm, without rain,
as may be expected now, while grain is filling, it may have
a serious result.
Two or three scattered hail storms are reported as doing
damage the past week; the most damage icing done in
Pembina county.

storm here destroyed over a thousand acres of wheat the past week:
weather has been favorable for filling grain; late barley is doing
better than anything else.
RAMSEY-Fox Lake-Cool and showery weather: barley and flax do
ing we'll. Jackson-The crop has improved greatly since the recent
rams; oats, flax and barley will make a fair crop: wheat about one
third OF a crop. Crary-Some wheat improving; flax good; oats and
RANSOM-Lisbon-Crop improved by rain Of last week, but will need
more soon; flax looks well and promises a good crop.
HIGHLAND ankinson-Week has been cool, dry, and favorable for
maturing wheat; heads short; ground very weedy; plenty of grass
for nay crop W~ahpeton-Weather generally favorable, except for
not WINDS one or two Gays the past week. Mooreton-Dry weather,
with hhgh not winds has been very unfavorable for crop: wheat and
oats beginning ming to turn; flax not doing we'll. needs rain. .Power-No
tor hii ling almost no oats worth threshing: grass made no gain the
light crop at the best; barley and flax poor; corn backward. Aber-
crombe-Weather during the past week was very favorable for wheat;
all crops doing we'll.
SARGENT-Forman-Late crop greatly benefited by recent rains.
early wheat, however, will be very light. Nicholson-Grain filling
rains have helped all grain, except that early sown, which was past
recovery; potatoes doing better. Ransom-Wheat has improved vey
much since the recent rains, and is now in the dough state: while
many fields are too poor to harvest, we will have about a quarter of a
crop; oats and barley are not as good IS wheat; corn looks well: late
flax and mllet may make a crop.
ARk-Gladstone -Haying in progress, but yield is light and poor
Dicknson-Crop condition not as good as during the past three weeks.
STEELE-Hope-The crop has improved considerably in appearance
and the yield of a portion IF it will be increased, but there is no doubt
that most of the wheat crop will not pay for cutting, under the most
favorable conditions, and much of it is now being plowed under: flax
continues to look good.
