WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

The past week has been generally dry, although light to
heavy showers fell at widely separated places, with temper.
atures above the normal, two of the days. Thursday and
Friday, being extremely, hot, In most sections the rams
were only heavy enough to wash the dust OF grain and
freshen it up temporarily, but some few others had heavy
enough showers to greatly benefit all crops. No hail is
reported from any section. Gophers are doing considerable
damage where crops are good, and the Hessian fly has
appeared III the Red river valley, and is doing much damage.
Wheat is rpening fast in all sections, but while 1T has
made rapid advancement in some places, as a rule it has
deteriorated during the week. and is not in as good condition
and in some places what there was left OF the crop has been
cut for feed.
Oats are ripening fast, but the yield promises to be light.
as considerable rust has appeared in them and the straw Is
very short and the heads not we'll filed. Harvesting OF bar
ley is general and the bulk of the crop has now been cut.
Most of the rye has also been harvested. Late sown forage
crops are not doing well except in those sections that
have been favored with heavy showers.
Flax has generally gone backward during the past week;
that sown early has blossomed but the stand is thin and quite
weedy, and some of it has been cut for fodder; that sown late
does not promise much, as it is thin, struggling and weedy,
Corn is doing well but has been affected by the hot
weather; it has been very backward, but the hot weather of
the past week has forced a rapid growth, but it is now feel
ing the effect of the drouth and except where relieved by
rain, is shrivelling up and fast going back. It has generally
tasseled out. but is short, and not up to the average for
fodder.
Haying is in progress in all parts, and in some, has been
finished. The yield of hay is light; as a general thing thin,
and will be scarce the coming winter.
