SPLENDID DRYING WEATHER.

Crops Around Grand Forks Have
Hud n Good Week..
The crop sitlation in the northern
part of the state has improved worder-
fully during the past week. The wealth
er has been ideal, being warm, with
good breezes for drying without great
heat or whitening winds. All crops are
maturing in fine shape. and h inn
provement within the week will easily
reach Is to 20 per cent The only wheat
that is hurt at all is that on the lowest
land, and even there. in many places.
It is recovering wonderfully every day.
Most of the wheat will be ready to cut
in a short time.
The only crop that will not be heavy
Is fax. The rains did the flax more
harm than any other crop, and the re-
ports received to-day are to the effect
that 1t is very spotted. In a few places
1t has been entirely destroyed. In 9TH
ers the yield will be phenomenal. Some
damage has been done to many fields
by rain, and in addition to this the high
spots not affected by rain are suffering
from a sort of cut-worm, which is maxi
ing a clean sweep wherever it appears.
Thus far reports of damage from the
worm are not very general, but 1t has
appeared in a great mary different To-
c~alities. l
The general feeling Is much better
than 1t was a week ago, and all lines of
business are responding to the improved
conditions.

|, There. is much speculation among at

the supreme court decision, which set
aside county lines beyond the Missouri.
will have on the reapportionment OF the
state for legislative purposes. The lines
Of the legislative districts conformed.
in many instances, to the county lines,
and some hold that the decision oblit-
Grating county boundaries also wiped
out the newly-created legislative dis
tricts. Others assert that as long az
the legislative district lines were not
uniformly based on the divisions for the
counties, the reapportionment will
stand. -
There are some features developing In
the senatorial fight which may make 1t
desirable that the old legislative dis
tricts be maintained, and it Is among
the possibilities that action may be
brought to test the matter and set
aside the reapportionment. The old
number Of legislators was much smaller
and more easily manipulated than the
new one will be, and all kinds of, COM
binations are feared.
Another interesting question has arts.
en- over who shall call the next legislat-
i've conventions. In some districts two,
and even three new ones were created.
and it will be manifestly impossible for
the old legislative committees to act Of
ficially. It has been suggested that uni-
form action should be taken, and the
power to call the meetings should re-
vert to the county central committees
in all districts where there have been
changes. +
