mostly cut and good yields are re-
ported from that threshed. Velvet
chaff wheat harvest is starting today
and most of that kind will be cut the
coming week. Some rumOrs of black
rust on the velvet chaff but the grain
is too we'll matured to be seriously in
jured. Oats are particularly fine
crop and all other crops satisfactory
and yield of all grains will be fully
up to the average.
Cass County.
CASSELTON, July o. Another
week of favorable weather for all
growing crops Winter wheat is all
cut Oats and barley are about har-
vested, and the cutting of spring wheat
will become general the coming week.
Black rust has now appeared in the
wheat crop, but just how bad it will
affect an otherwise promising yield
will not be known until threshing
time, which will be in about ten days.
At this time there is nothing to pre-
vent a big yield of corn and potatoes.
Grand Forks County.
LARIMORE, July 20, 1911.-Condi-
tons the past week O. K. in all res.
| poets for crops. IT of an inch of rain
falling and grain filling we'll with ex-
ception of grain with heavy straw on
old land which is not filling to the end
of the head. Quite a number of oats
fields are cut and promise fine yield.
The last three weeks have been a little
cool for corn, but it is making good
growth nevertheless, and potatoes will
make full crop without doubt. In
summing up the whole crop would
say it is fully up to the average or
better Wild oats are troubling some
farmers, but that is no fault of the
| season.
Burke County.
! BOWBELLS, July 29.-Saturday We
had an all-day soaking rain which did
much good to the late grain. Sunday
and Monday cool but good growing
weather, Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday, fair and warmer. Friday
cool with local showers. General
condition of fax and feed crops much
improved.
1. .... Ward County.
MlNOT,' july 29.-Conditions have
been generally favorable the past
week and harvesting will soon be in
| full blast Wheat and oats will be
better than was at one time thought,
going up to half crop, while flax
| continues to do we'll. Haying is we'll
| under way and a great deal will be
! cut.
Logan County.
NAPOLEON, July 29.-One rain
coming a week ago seems to have
done a wonderful amount of good to
most of the crops. Farmers from
| different parts tell me their crops will
be better than expected in that the
small amount of grain is filling we'll
and shows signs of being of good quail
ity. Crops of wheat in southwestern
part of county will not average more
than three bushels while in the nor
thern part TREY will average close to
ten bushels per acre. III course
much wheat will not be cut. while
other fields will yield nearly twenty
bushels per acre. Flax will be the
best crop, with rye, barley, wheat and
oats following in order named. The
gophers will harvest about one-fourth
of the crop.
Cavalier County.
LANGDON, July 29.-Conditions in
Cavalier have improved wonderfully
in the whole county in the last week,
because of several good rains which
havet covered the entire county.
Wheat is filling nicely and there is no
black rust at all. With present pros
poets wheat will make an average
crop. Oats have improved even more
than wheat and from present indica-
tions will make more than an average
crop. Barley has also come forward
and will be better than an average
crop. Several fields have been cut
and barley harvest will be general the
coming week.
Wells County.
HARVEY, Jly 90 Weather con-
tinues cool and reports are that wheat
is filling fine. Estimate is for about
half a crop of wheat and oats. Flax
is growing we'll and will be an average
crop. Corn looks good, but is some
what retarded by cool nights. Barley
harvest has commenced and wheat
and oats will be ready in week or
ten days. Haying is finished and is
large crop in this vicinity.
Ransom County.
M'LEOD, July 29.-The many wealth
,er changes through the season have
! made the crops rather spotted, and,
for that reason it is very difficult to
form satisfactory estimate. Local
showers have helped the corn, flax
| and potatoes Flax is in good condi-
ton. Barley is cut and threshing 50
far shows yield of from 20 to 40
bushels to the acre of splendid quail
ity. Black rust has damaged wheat
| velvet chaff the worst, blue stem and
| durum being but slightly touched,
| and very little damage to oats. Some
| oats and wheat have been cut and
harvest will be in full swing next
week.
Stark County.
DICKINSON, July 29:-Wheat is
ripening fast and will soon be ready
for cutting. Heads are filling we'll
and there will be some good fields in
