Church'S Ferry, n. D.. Aug. S.-Qulte
favorable weather for crop growth has
obtained the past week. Wheat and
oats harvest in full force. Wheat Der
ries we'll developed, insuring good
grades. Yield estimated from a few
bushels to six to twelve bushels to the
acre. with even more in many instan-
ces. Oats light and stand short, much
being cut with the mower. Barley and
flax holding their own as to growth.
Potatoes which have been we'll titled
and kept free from bugs are most
promising, and corn is growing vigor
ously and tasseling out. Considerable
hay has been cut, but the crop will
be small. Pastures in excellent order
and trees are green and healthy. There
will be better yields of all kinds of
grain than was calculated during the
severity of the heat. but the loss will
be inexpressible. The lesson to farm.
ers is that the loss is in proportion
as the culture of the soil was intelli
gent and scientific or otherwise.

Rolette, N. d., Aug. S.-Weather
cool and partly cloudy most OF the
week. Light showers on the Sd. A
very light frost in the eastern part

since the rain and fair crop is now
expected in many cases. Gardens
have improved greatly, and corn and
potatoes have made rapid growth. A
new crop of grass is growing where

crop will be very good in places. Plow-
ing is in progress and much of the
some pastured.

Hettinger, N. D., Aug. 5.-Harvest
| ing pretty we'll in hand and threshine
will begin first of next week. Wheat
| returns indicate that yield will be
much better than at first supposed
but much, however, is being headed
straw being too short to bind. Flax
will not amount to anything, no raiI

and more will be put in next season
Pembina County.
Pembina, N. D., Aug. 65.-Crop con
ditions have been favorable the past
week, weather having been cool. Har
vesting is general and reports indi
| cate that wheat crop will be up tc
last year, while oats, barley and flax
will not make more than one.third OF
crop. Potato crop will be light, and
there will be some of the pretties,
cornfields ever grown in this vicinity
Nelson County.
Lakota, N. D., Aug. 5.-Weather the
past week has been cool, with prac
tically no moisture. No change in
small grains and estimate of last week
will hold good for season. Harvesting
we'll under way and will be completed
next week. Rain now would be detri
mental to everything but potatoes, hay
and pasturage. More grain will be
stacked than is usual. Flax has about
held it's own, but is short and thin
and will make a short crop. It is fast
maturing. Potatoes and corn have
gone back through lack of moisture,
especially the former. Much stock is
being marketed on account Of short
feed crop, though many farmers have
helped their hay crop with late sown
corn and millet.
