Ramsey County.

Ramsey County.
Church's Ferry, N. D., July o.
Conditions less favorable on account
of lack of rain and hot winds, though
modified somewhat by cool nights.
Wheat, oats and barley doing fairly
we'll under the circumstances. Corn
is making good growth, but requires
moisture. Much late sOwn flax was
destroyed by hot winds, but earlier
sown looks promising. Potatoes and
other vegetables in good plight. Hay.
ing has commenced and crop will ap.
parently be sufficient for stock. An
abundance of moisture needed.
Pembina County.
Penbina, N. D., July 22.-Conditions
unchanged since last report. 1t is re-.
markable how we'll wheat on we'll.
summer-fallow. Wheat practically all
in head, which is short, but of good
color. and should yield seven to ten
bushels. Oats barley and flax are be.
yond help, and, If anything, going
back.
Rchland County.
Wahpeton, N. D., July 22.-Farmers
find their crops are not as good as they
looked. Fields on past meadows and
corn ground are turning out satisfac.
torily, but many others are light. The
average yield will hardly be up to the
ten-year average, and possibly several
bushels per acre under that. Extreme
scarcity of prairie hay and poor yields

Williams County.
Spring Brook, N. D., July 22.-Past
week cooler, grain filling we'll. If ia
vorable weather conditions we will
realize half crop on many fields.
Corn doing nicely, but small amount
planted.
Billings County.
Medora, N. D., July 23.-Dry and hot
until Friday night, when heavy shower
fell over larger portion of county. Bar
ley and oats ripening and some few
patches being cut. A good crop ex.
pected in the Golden Valley and in the
eastern part of county a fair crop is
to be expected. Flax is in blossom
upon short straw, with good outlook
for large yield.
Hettinger County.
Mott, N. D., July 22.-Heavy shower
on the 18th of one and one-half inches,
which has helped late sown wheat,
fax and corn materially. Corn and
flax have become more promising
looking. Last two or three days and
nights have been cool. Half crop gen.
orally expected and in some places
better.
| Dunn County.
Manning, N. D., July 23.-AbOut one
inch Of rainfall last night and was
general throughout the county. Crops
are in much better condition than two
weeks ago. Oats will be the shortest
crop. Wheat ought to yield three
quarters as much as year ago, and
flax about the average. Harvesting
commenced on early soWn grain.
! Ward County.
Minot, N. D., July 23.-Little change
during the past week. Conditions have
been favorable for such crops as were
susceptible OF help. Weather has been
hot, but mitigated by rain. Reports
conflicting. ranging from nothing to
good. Fields are spotted with poor
spots in the majority. When returns
come in, however, there will be sur
prising number of respectable Yields
though the earliest returns will be the
poorest. Hay question a serious one
and price already high.
Mcintosh County.
Ashley, N. D., July 23.-Slightly low.
err temperature, but dry winds and
drouth will continue. Corn, potatoes
and late flax would still be helped by
good rains. Wheat yield estimated at
| from nothing to seven bushels per
acre. At no time has good farming
! shown to better advantage.
Adams County.
Hettinger, N. D.. July 22.-Condi-
tions unchanged since last report.
Crops are maturing fast and some
cutting already begun. Old ground,
we'll worked and plowed this year, will
give quite good returns, but flax on
breaking and stumbled land will give
almost no returns at all. Corn doing
remarkably we'll, and, with rain dur
ing next two or three weeks, will come
to good, big maturity. This is about
all the fodder crop which can be count
ed on this year.
Grand Forks Count.
Grand Forks, N, D., July 23.-Crop
conditions more favorable, the past
week A good rain Saturday morning
helped all crops at this stage. Quite
a number of fields of wheat which had
good care and were properly planted
will run from fifteen to twenty bushels
per acre. Corn will make a good crop
if favorable weather continues. Crops
now. estimated to be so per cent OF
normal.
Steele County.
Hope, n. D., July 23.-About one
and one-half inches of rain fell this
morning, but too late to be of much
benefit to growing crops except corn,
potatoes, garden stuff and some late
sown wheat, oats and flax. What lit
tie wheat there ia will be harvested
next week. It is reported to be thin
and short, but pretty we'll filled. Most
of the wheat in this vicinity will be
worth cutting and will run from five
to ten bushels to the acre, with an
