been variable during week, without eH
tremes in temperature. Last week
light rains have benefited late crops
and grain not too far advanced is in
much better condit ION than early IN
the month In the central part or the
county a considerable area CT early
grain will average but little more than
seed In the southern tier of town
ships conditions are better and nearly
an average yield may be expected. Hay
making is general and the yield will
be about normal. A general soaking
rain would still help late crops and
hay land.
Dickey County.
GLENDALE, July 29.-Weather
the past week has been favorable and
heavy showers will benefit the corn,
fax and potatoes greatly. Harvest
ing of oats and barley has commenced
but most OF these grains are extremely
Light and will not pay for cutting.
Blue Stem and Hard wheat seem to
have stood the drouth and hot weather
much better than Durum in this Vi
cinity, but we do not now look for
as good yield this year as last.
MountraiI County.
STANLEY, July 29.-Flax is COM
ing on good in all parts of the coun-
ty. Wheat almost total failure in
all parts of the county, with excep-
ton of local spots. In the eastern
part some fields will 60 Is bushels
to the acre. Oats in the southeast
ern part will be a good crop running
up to As bushels to the acre. Pota-
toes will yield we'll in all parts and
hay crop will be heavy.

HATTON, July 29.-All kinds OF
weather the past week. Rain, sun.
shine, hot and cold. A nice rain fell
a week ago, another on Wednesday
and today in the afternoon. Tuesday
was very hot and sultry, just the kind
of weather to develop rust. Haying
nearly all done, except millet. Bar
ley harvest in full swing with crop
looking good. Grasshoppers are do
ing mucn damage now concentrating
on late wheat, eating out portions OF
the head. Some fields are damaged
to the extent of ten per cent. Corn
is making rapid growth. Wheat and
oats are ripening slowly and harvest
will not be general for ten days.
Emmons County.
HAZELTON, July 29.-No precipi-
tation for the week. Corn and flax
are suffering for want of rain Nights
being cool, grain has filled fairly well.
Wheat and oats harvest now on. Some
fields will make fair yield. Those
poorly farmed will just about pay for
the cutting.
Morton County.
NEW SALEM. July ga nice rain
Saturday night and drop in tempera-
ture revived dried-up vegetation some
what but the weather turned hot
again during the week, ripening grain
double quick. Harvest has started
full blast the last days of week. Oats
very light, even where stand is fair.
Wheat badly shriveled in kernels.
Corn and potatoes hold up remarka-
bly, we'll and are plainly showing the
dry weather, but will be better than
last year. Flax would also be helped
by a general rain. the rain of Saturday
evaporating quickly.
RichIand County.
WAHPETON, July 29.-Conditions
the past week have been favorable
for corn and potatoes Eighty hun
dredths of an inch of rain falling on
Thursday night. Harvest is about all
over and the effects of grasshoppers
have been plainly seen, especially on
land re-seeded this spring, whole
fields being destroyed. Rust was al
so bad on corn ground, but crop too
far advanced to be much damaged, ex.
cept in a few places. Rye thres-
ing about Is to Is bushels to the
acre. Some wheat will be threshed
next week. Help plentiful at q per
cent less than year ago. Conditions
age will probably be doubled next
year, owing to favorable showing in
dry season.
Ramsey County.
CHURCH'S FERRY, July % But
little rain last week, but with few ex
ceptions the weather remained cool
day and night, being favorable for the
crops. Wheat filling encouragingly,
also oats and barley. Flax in good
shape. fields being in full blossom and
a good crop indicated Corn is max
ing steady growth and a large yield
is promised. Most of the wild hay
has been cut and stacked without in
jury and amount will be large. Po-
tatoes doing we'll and crop will appar-
emily be of large proportions. All
other vegetables are in excellent
shape Rain is needed for the full
development of crops. Help plentiful
and many are finding employment at
haying and will assist at harvest.
Although the hot spells of previous
days will cause large shrinkage in
the yield, the present outlook is ia
vorable for an encouraging harvest.
