WEEKLY CRoP BULLETIN.
Generally dry, hot weather has prevailed during the past
week, which has nlatrred grain rapidly. While light scatter
ed showers have fallen III sections, the rainfall has not been
enough TODD any good, with the exception of$thatS which
fellin Trail county, but it was accompanied by hail that
was SO severe, that inaddition to totally destroying all vege-=
tatlon IN its path. it also destroyed buildings, and IN at
least one instance, human life.
Wheat harvest is we'll under way in all sections except
the northern; it is generally too short to be cutwithbinders
or headers, and a great deal Of it is being moved. and
raked up afterwards. The grade Of what has been har-5
vested IS good, but no reports Of yield Of more than 4bushes
per acre have been received. Oats are also being cut, as
is barley, but the yield is light in both cases. Flax seems
to have deteriorated during the past week, and reports of
its being dried up and blighted are more numerous than
still continues, fax now being added Is the list.
Corn and potatoes are generally doing we'll, but they are
in need Of rain. Haying is in progress with a poor yield
in all sections.
