| HATTON. June II, 1911-Wind and
sand storm last Sunday did much
damage to flax and corn, many fax
fields being cut beyond recovery. For
the balance of the week the weather
has been ideal for wheat and other
grain. and very rapid growth has
been the result. Tame hay is from
two to three weeks ahead of ordinary
years. Some re-seeding of grain on
flooded lands has been done but in
most instances the ground is too wet
and the average of early sowed wheat
will be reduced to a great extent on
this account.
