Grandin,

Grand-n, N. D., Aug. 9.--To The Fo-
rum: From he look Of things in the
neighborhood 1t would appear harvest
ir5 will be pretty general before this
week Is OUT and the crops are looking
fairly good. Some may say, Yes,
the weed crop is looking good" While
admitting weeds are an abundant crop
In places, we cannot close our eyes to
the fact that the grain crop shows a
fairly good average, even in spite Of
the fact that some place. were badly
drowned out in the early part of the
season. These places seem to have
recovered somewhat, and show a likIi-
hood OF some returns. More than this,
where it looked as If there would be
no return at all the grain seems to be
doing Its best to defeat tie idea of
those who declared there would be
nothing at all. B:.rley has been cut
for two weeks in many places, while
rye has been cut where it could be
got at, for about the same period, and
oats might be given the same date
Now wheat is coming in very quickly,
and work in the wheat is being pushed
to its utmost We suppose long hours
will be the order of the day for many
days. Corn looks as :. 1t would be a
good crop.
