up unevenly, otherwise looks promis.
ing. With favorable weather from
now on q good crop may still be ex-
pected. Pastures in very poor con-
dition. No breaking during past two
weeks but more will be done If rain
falls.
Pembina County.
Pembina, June IS, 1910. Past week
exceedingly hot with no rain, which
is proving detrimental to crops, es-
pecially to fax and barley. Early
grains have good root and do not show
much Ill effect from dry, hot weather,
but rain must fall within the next few
days or conditions will be serious.
Ramsey County.
Churchs Ferry, June II. Weather
during week unfavorable for good
crop conditions with little or no rain
and warm weather. Wheat unfavor-
ably affected and injured especially
on high land. Later soWn wheat
shows to better advantage. All other
grain shows result of the dry wealth
er. Rain much needed. Corn is rank
and green and is making fine growth.
Vegetables doing we'll but potato bugs
are numerous Grass in pastures and
hay in good plight.
Ransom County.
Enderlin, June 10, 1910. Reports
very conflicting, general concensus be-
ing that much of the grain is short
I'm in wi init ~
Enderlin more favorable than else
where, two local showers having been
very beneficial.
Sargent County.
Forman, June 10, 1910. Warm
weather since last weeks rain has
materially improved prospects. Grain
looking we'll but should have more
rain within few days. Some wheat
beginning to head. Present indica-
tions for an average crop. Large in
crease in flax acreage.
Steele County.
Hope, June 10, 1910. Two light
showers the past week have helped
some, but not enough to wet down
further than the surface. Grain be-
ginning to seriously need rain and un-
less latter occurs soon crop must be
materially injured. 1t still looks
pretty we'll but stools are dying and
indications are that grain will be thin
and short. Flax seeded on breaking
not yet up except where seeded early.
Towner County.
Bisbee, June 10, 1910. Local show
ers in some parts of the county have
helped somewhat but most of the
crops are badly in need of rain, and
unless heavy showers occur within
the next few days the crop will suf-
fer badly. Grain is now jointing and
needs much moisture at that time.
Late wheat is doing better than the
early sown but will soon suffer if rain
does not come. Farmers are not feel
ing good over the situation.
Walsh County.
Grafton, June 18, 1910. Warm
weather during the past week has
aided crops materially, there having
been several local showers but gen.
eral heavy rain is needed. Owing to
deep roofing of plant wheat, oats and
barley is not liable to suffer for some
time yet. Flax acreage will be IN
creased to some extent this season.
Corn looking fine and vegetables doing
we'll.
T.
Ward County.
Minot, June 10, 1910. Crops have
about held their own the past week,
though abundant rain is needed.
Light showers in various places have
kept crops from. suffering. Weather
now hot Some fields have doubtless
suffered from combination Of frost and
lack of moistu but in the main all
will be we'll with further rainfall.
Wells County. j.
Harvey, June 10, 1910. Prospects
not so promising. Only half crop in
Dictated with possibly none if present
dry spell continues. Frosts did more
damage than at first, thought. Grain
starting to head at six inches high
which indicates early maturity and
small yield. ,a.n 4
