Climate and Crop Bulletin.

There were local showers on the 18th
and sth, and much more widely distri-
buted showers and thunderstorms on
the 9th; these rains wer light in the
northern half of the state, and heavy
in parts of the South and middle West.
The rains Of the 9th were accompanied
by high winds in a region apparently
extending from the upper part of the
Minnesota valley to the exteme south
east corner of the state; some damage
wos done to windmills and light out
buildings, and much grain was blown
down. There was a severe, rain,
wind and hail storm in the extreme
Southwest on the 9TH, with some dam
age.
In the northern half of the safe rain
is much needed, the showers of the
previous week having been dried up by
the high warm winds of the 18th and
sth. The local showers of the week
have benefited the crops where they
fell, but elsewhere there is very little
growth going on. In many fields the
wheat, oats and barley are thin, and
they are heading with short straw.
Farley flax is in bloom. The late
sown millet is slow in starting, and as
the hay crop is light, a deficiency of
winter feed is feared.
In much of the southern half of the
state the low lands are wet Or flooded,
SO that wild hay cannot be cut, and
and the improvement Of grains, corn
and potatoes is slow. On the high
lands the abundant moisture has
caused rank growth of wheat, oats
barley and the grasses, with large
areas of grains badly lodged. Some rye
and barley are in shock; winter wheat
wheat is nearly ripe and errly oats are
bepinning to ripen.

MINNESOTA NEWS,
All Records Broken.

Sec. E. w. Randall, of the Mime
sofa State Fair, has announced the
official entry list for the State Fair of
1908, and is again able to say that all
records have been broken, as the list
surpasses that of last year by more
than 80 horses.
Over 26O horses have been entered
for the fair of 1908 as against $50 in
1902. When last years entry list was
announced, it was regarded as about
the biggest thing that could ever be
is now shown that the popularity of
the Minnesota State Fair. is such that
an even greater list is Forthcoming
upon the announcement of the race
program for 1908. Horsemen know
that the management of the Mime
sofa race meet is absolutely fair in
every particular, that purses are paid
promptly and that the horses will be
exhibited before enormous crowus OF
people. They also know that the
track is a splendid one on which
many records have been broken.
In detail the race entry list which
appears below, is a remarkable one.
Not race in all the list of thousand
dollar purses has less than ten en-
tries, while the numbers range up to
twenty-eight. The great 2:21 class
trotting race for purse of $4,000
has twenty-eight, entries, while the
2:1a class pacing $4,000 race has the
astounding number of forty-one en-
tries. 1t is believed that no race in
the West has ever had this many en-
tries, and this will be the greatest
event ever seen on Western race
track. Horses are entered for this
contest from Manitoba to Texas, and
from California to Georgia.
The completion Of this entry list
