which now bids fair to be lnadequat
Barnes County.
Valley City, June Is, 1910. Past
week disastrous to growing crops,
hot dry winds prevailing the entire
period. II rain does not fall soon
harvest will be decidedly light. Hay
will be very scarce and garden pro-
ducts are rapidly drying up.
Billings County.
Medora, June Is, 1910. Local show.
ers over greater part of county ana
warm weather bringing crops forward
rapidly. In country along river rain
is much needed. Flax seeding about
zone, though some breaking Is going
on. Good outlook for nice crop where
crop was properly prepared for seed.
Burleiqh County.
Bismarck, Jane Is, 1910. Excessive
heat and continued dry spell have
materially lowered crop prospects
since last week. Only two light show
ers which did practically no good A
good soaking rain, If it comes soon,
would probably result in half crop
in some instances but great many
other fields are already total loss.
Rain would help fax Of which some
has not yet shown above the ground.
Corn doing fairly we'll but also needs
rain.
Cass County.
Casselton, June rs, 1910. Local
showers have somewhat improved
crop conditions throughout the county
and although short in straw, wheat
and oats do not look very bad. Bar
ley is poor; fax fair, and corn is look
ing fine. Potatoes and other garden
truck weathering the unfavorable con-
ditions in good shape. New hay is very
scarce. Last three days cooler and
clear. Need more rain.
Dunn County.
Manning, June Is, 1910. Weather
very warn the past week with hot
winds Monday. No damage done so
far and, with another good rain, crops
will be as good as last year. Wheat
and oats beginning to head and early
sown fax is in good shape. Flax
seeding all finished. Ground rather
dry for breaking.
Emmons County.
Linton, June 26, 1910. Crops need
rain badly. Only half crop expected
even under the most favorable circum'
stances. Flax and corn, however, may
yet turn out fairly we'll.
Hettinqer County.
Mott, June "a, 1910. Crops were
beginning to look very bad by reason
of extreme hot weather and hot winds
until last evening when heavy rain
made things look fine again. Flax
looks pretty good. Today not so warm
as first of week. Corn beginning to
show up pretty good.
Grand Forks County.
Grand Forks, June Is, 1910. Past
week marked by excessively hot
weather, thermometer ranging as high
as 81 in the shade. No rainfall in the
county and crop conditions growing
steadily worse If rain falls in the
next few days crop loss would be
about 40 per cent. Wheat is dying
out, many stools being dead and more
dying. Good stand of corn which is
growing we'll but rain is needed. Glow.
er in somewhat better shape than
grain. Not much fax in the county
this season. Oats in worse condition
thin wheat. Fall rye seems to be in
good condition. Vegetable crops prac-
tically past the time when improve
ment could be expected although rain
might help to some extent.
La Moure County.
La Moure, June Is, 1910. Rains the
later part of the week have helped
crops considerably. Early grain head
ing nicely but is very short, with fire.
quent rains the crop will be fair, 9TH
erwise only half a crop is to be ex.
pected.
Logan County.
NAPOLEON, June Is, 1910. Since last
report hot winds have done much DAM
age especially on south slopes and
light soil. A good rain however fol.
lowed the hot winds and most of the
crop is still in good condition. Hay
and straw are found to be short but
most of the farmers are hopeful in re-
gard to the crops. Weather cooler
since rain. Gardens looking we'll.
Poor farming is showing up it's own
er.
Mcintosh County.
Ashley, June Is, 1910. Hot dry
winds the early part of week lessened
our possible yields of wheat from Is
to so per cent, but general and heavy
rains have revived all crops. Atmos-
phere humid, ground warm, and fax,
corn and vegetables could not make
faster progress.
Mclean County.
Washburn, June Is, 1910. Precipi-
tation is streaked again this week.
Thursday night is showered over the
county an abundance of rain falling
