Valley City, June 18, 1910. Heavy
showers during the past twenty-fOur
hours have resulted in much better
crop prospects. Early grain heading
with straw six to eight inches in
length. Barley still being sown. Flax
acreage greater than last year. Hay
ing will be from two to three weeks
later than usual
Burleigh County.
Bismarck, June IS, 1910. Crop con-
ditions very mixed and outlook poor
in northern part of county along the
Missouri river, only light showers hav-
ing fallen. Same conditions prevail
elsewhere and in some places wheat
farmers say the outlook is good but
everywhere more rain is needed, ex-
IRENE heat rapidly consuming the
moisture that has fallen. Flax, oats,
rye, barley etc., are in about the same
condition as wheat.
Cavalier County.
Langdon, June IS, 1910. Heat of
past week has forced growth of all
grains but drouth in some places has
done little damage, but not to any
extent Rain has fallen all over coun-
ty the past twenty-four hours and
seems to generally warrant the asser-
ton that all danger from drought is
now over. Grain is healthy color
but straw will be short. More rain
needed. Early sown grain looking the
hest, but late rains tend to bring the
later sown on rapidly. With rain an

ideal for all kinds of grain, warm
weather apd showers in different Sec

Acreage of macaroni wheat shows a
falling off from last year, but other
hard varieties show increase. Larger
acreage of corn than ever before and
plant looks healthy. Potatoes in
blossom and peas ready for table.
All garden truck looking fine but small
fruits will yield lightly owing to late
frosts. Upland hay short crop, low
land good. Tame grasses good but
backward. Alfalfa coming in bud and
will be cut next week. Thousands of
acres of new prairie have been broken

Emmons County.
Linton, June 10, 1910. Warm, dry
weather of past week has been very
damaging to crops in this vicinity.
Well titled fields will turn out all
right yet with sufficient rain and flax
stands an especially good show, but
grain on new ground or stubbled in
will not make more than half crop
even under the most favorable condi-
tons from now on.
Foster County.

and insufficient rainfall, all small
grains being severely damaged &C.
cording to some reports. Others are
more hopeful but fact remains that
rainfall is less than half Of normal
with prospects of hot weather continu-
ing. Unless rain falls plentifully all
crops will certainly be seriously dani-
aged.
