The weather conditions in the spring

harvesting, which is nearing completion
in the southern districts. Some damage
has resulted from hail in South Dakota.
and the unfavorable effects Of recent hot
weather in North Dakota are becoming
apparent. Some grain in the last men

Washington splendid crop is promised,
and in Oregon the yields arc better than
were expected. The oat harvest is most

unsatisfactory.
