Hope, N. d., Aug. 65.-Weather con-
ditions the past week have continued
to be ideal. A good shower fell the
afternoon of the Sd, which helped later
grain. yet was not enough to seriously
impede the harvest. All feed and for
age crops have improved wonderfully
and flax is going to make something
except that sown late ON new break
ing. We believe that generally farmers
will have seed and feed. and enough
grain to sell to pay the expense of
threshing and harvesting.
