NO BUMPER CROP.
Yield of Wheat In the Northwest
Likely to- He Disappointing


Careful estimates made by Walter
Thexton, In charge Of the Minneapolis
Office Of the John Miller Grain COM
pany, Indicate that the bumper crop
which has been predicted Is not likely
to materialiZe. During the past three
days Mr. ThextOn has received reports
from 200 grain men scattered all over
the three states. To these reports are
added those of travelling grain men who
have given much time TO personal in
spections of the crop.
No damage from rust is reported to
date. In every section Of the Northwest
the wheat fields show a rank growth Of
straw. Weather conditions generally
have been favorable, but there is danger
from rust, also from lodging unless the
weather is decidedly favorable from now
on.
Southern Minnesota reports wheat
prospects not above the average The
same applies to coarse grains. This sec
ton also complains OF weeds and cninch
bugs In the fax crop. which is below the
average.
The worst spot In the wheat fields OF
Northern Minnesota is In the Red river
valley counties, where surface water on
the lowlands has caused damage. The
crop there is 80 seriously injured that
reports indicate less than half OF the
average yield.
On the North Dakota side OF the Red
river valley the conditions are not 80
serious. Wheat and coarse grains prom
ise better than an average crop for the
entire state. Reports on fax are very
discouraging. Many fields are being
plowed down. Flax there will yield less
than half an average crop.
Harvest will begin in South Dakota
soon. Reports from that state are gen
orally favorable. Conditions average
better in South Dakota than in the other
two states.
