timistic spirit prevails among farm

ed under fields have been resown to
fodder corn and other feed crops. Bar
ley is being cut and will be fair
yield. Some rye threshing has been
done and is also fair yield. Garden
truck is becoming plentiful. Weather
for first part Of week has been cool;
latter part hot, with no sign Of rain.
LaMoure County.
I4aMoure, July 16.-Grain has i'm
proved wonderfully during the past
ten days in consequence of drouth-
breaking rains. and many fields will
now produce from eight to twelve
bushels that were previously thought
to be gone. Some few farmers are
blowing up the early sown wheat.
Many fields will produce fifteen bush
els of wheat to the acre and some
few will exceed this. Flax Is in
clined to be somewhat weedy; oats
are doing nicely while barley will
make half crop.
