ST. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 13.-The wheat
crop of North Dakota and of large

hot winds that impeled the expert
crop estimator TO keep down his esti-

were anticipated. They might not have
come at a critical time; they might not
have come at all, but they did come

hot wave has prevailed, drying up the
berry and browning the heads of the

In northern South Dakota the situa-

wheat fields ready to harvest, and too
far advanced to be injured by the heat.
But 1t is here. also, that the corn crop
is a factor. During the season when
wheat was making great growth, owing
TO the cool temperature, corn was at
