BEFORE HARVEST
WESTERN CANADA CROPS MAY
BREAK ALL RECORDS.
Canadian Pacific Has Reports from
All Sections, Showing the Grain to
Be Heavy and Weather Favorable
Harvest Will Be Late in Some
Sections.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg. Man. Aug. 16.-That the
wheat crop Of western Canada will come
near breaking all previous records for
yield is about assured by the tenor Of
the latest bulletins issued by the general
railway late last night. This will be the
last bulletin before the harvest and is
very important.
From almost every station on the sys-
tenn comes the report that the grain is
heavy, the weather favorable and the
farmers confident they will garner one OF
the best harvests In the history of the
west. In Manitoba cutting will be gen.
eral by the end of the week.
The bulletins state that in the Bran
don section the grain is ripening rapidly
and cutting will begin this week The
crop Is estimated at twenty bushels to
the acre. @
In the Broadview section the yield will
be still heavier, reaching as high as
twenty-five bushels. Cutting commences
this week.
Moosejaw section-The crop will be
splendid. It is a little late and 1t will
be ten days before cutting commences.
Swift Current District-Average crop.
Lariviere and Napinka Branches
yield will be splendid and cutting has
commenced. In Prince Albert the wheat,
tho a little late, Is ripening well. The
crop will be heavy and cutting will be
commenced on the 18th.
| In the Portal section the crop Is late
and the reports not so favorable. Around
Minnedosa and Yorkton the prospects are
| brilliant. Along the Arcola branch cut
| ting has commenced. Around Cypress
| and Glenboro on the Souris branch rust
and smut have done some damage.

LESS THAN HALF A CROP
Seven Counties in North Dakota Hit
Hard by Rust.

Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. d., Aug. 16.-Crop reports
continue to come in good and bad-most-
ly bad. Less than half a crop will be
raised In Richland. Sargent, Dickey, Ran
son. LaMoure, Cass and Barnes counties.
Stutsman was badly hit In some sections,
but is the dividing line for real damage.
From that point the crop and the rust
have had q hot race. West Of James
town the crops have won out
North Of Jamestown, toward Darlington
much damage was done by rust. but along
both roads from Carrington-the 500 tc
the international boundary line and the
Jamestown & Northern branch to Leeds
the crops are good. North Of the Great
Northern tracks the damage Is imna-
terial
In the valley the situation is bad along
the entire length of the state. Thousands
Of acres will never be cut. A large acre
age will not go over five bushels.
One Of the greatest disappointments ir
the valley Is the fact that the crops or
summer fallowed and potato land are the
poorest. Good reports continue to come
from the macaroni fields.

Loss Is One-HaIf.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Redf1eld S. D., Aug. 16.-The wheat
crop will be damaged at least so per cent
on the average. In some places it is esti-
mated that the average has been lowered
by two-thirds, and in some localities
many fields will not be harvested. The
rust stopped development of the berry,
and where the crop is harvested it will
not grade above No. 8. The straw is
worthless, and many farmers hesitate to
feed the damaged heads to stock for fear
of bad effect on cattle. So far as re-
ported, not a field Of macaroni wheat has
been injured. However, farmers generally
are in better shape to stand crop fail
ure than they have been in former years.
There Will be plenty of feed. Corn has
been doing well the past week.

Burning Their Wheat.

TO the Editor of The Journal
Some OF the Minneapolis papers are re-
porting a fair crop for North Dakota.
This may be true in other sections but
from weeks careful Investigation thru
out Richland county, North Dakota and
Wilkin county, Minnesota, by competent
and responsible men, we find that the crop
will not exceed an average of two bush
els an acre. Farmers are burning their
wheat, as about the only thing there Is
in it IS bran-very little flour.
