On account of the dry season, many
residents about Ottumwa, who have
been depending upon dam" water
for there supplies, are now sinking
wells and report finding plenty of
water at depths running from twenty
to forty feet. The water from

] While the flax crop will be light at
, best. there has been marked develop
ment during the last month, even in
the drouth district of North Dakota.
In localities where wheat and oats were
entirely killed, flax, being later crop
has grown remarkably well and the
crop will be above what seemed posi-.
BILE two weeks ago. This is not true of
North Dakota as whole, however, fol-
in some parts of the state the crop is Il
failure. To predict the probable out
come of the crop in bushels is feat toe
difficult even to attempt. South Dako.
ia will produce a fair crop, probably
more than is generally expected.

struggle in the water and went to ii

and ducking.
