The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-08-10

Harvesting is we'll on throughout
the Northwest, according to the four
teenth weekly crop report of the
Northern Pacific. The report is a good
one, and states that the conditions
are all favorable for a heavy yield in
all the grains.
Wheat is generally cut and stacked
in most sections; rye has been thresh-
ed at some points and is a good crop.
The flax yield fulfills all the promises
of the early season and in every ter
ritory covered by the report the out
look is fine.
Warm days with cool nights have
helped things wonderfully in the Red
river valley. Heads are long and well
filed and promise a heavy crop. On
the Casselton extension there was a
hail storm on the first of the month,
but the damage was light. In the
Black Hills harvesting is well advanc
ed. What rye has been threshed
yields from fifteen to twenty-five
bushels an acre.
