vestine, being cool and dry, except for showers at widely
separated places. In some sections these showers were
accompanied by hail, but too light, as a rule, to DO any
serious damage.
The harvesting of early wheat is advancing northward
rapidly, and this week will see it in progress in the north
ern portions, while in the extreme southern portion it is
almost finished. Late wheat is ripening very slowly, and
is not near as good as that early sown.
Oats and barley are about all cut and mostly IN the
shock; some has been stacked. Late millet IS very poor,
most of the crop being too short to cut for feed, and hay
ing been retarded by cool, dry weather, does not promise a
great return.
Early flax is ripening fast, and some has already been
cut; the crop is in excellent condition, but that sown late is
poor, weedy and thin, and but little is expected Of it.
Corn is still behind the season but is maturing fast. 1t
will take about three weeks Of good weather yet to make
the bulk of the crop safe from frost, and if none comes within
that time one of the largest crops ever raised in the state
will be assured.
Having is still in progress in the western part of the
state, but is generally finished in other sections.
Considerable damage has been done by the Hessian fly in
the eastern part of the state, especially in the Red river
valley. While damage has been done early wheat, it is
feared that the late sown, already poor, will show more
serious damage from this cause when harvested.
The frost of the 18th instant, not previously noted, did
but little damage to grain, the most of it being confined to
gardens, and at a few places to corn and fruit.
ADMINISTRATIVE on the 10Th and 18th did no damage here.
