THE CROP OUTLOOK.

On the general crop situation, The
Minneapolis Tribune expresses itself,
editorially, as follows:
The progress of the crops since the
/ growing season set in has been UNI.
usually favorable. Whatever appre-
hension has been felt has proven, so
far, tc have been based on possibili-
1 ties rather than fact. Fear Of drought
being uppermost, any intimation OF
dryness has agitated the pit, but the
timely arrival OF rains has checked
deterioration in the field and bullish
speculation in the market.
A peculiar feature OF the agricultural
season has been the gradual elimina-
ton Of an early handicap in the crop
prospects. The favorable change from
the poor start in the winter wheat area
and the Improvement in soil conditions
In the northwest have brought the
growing grain forward much better
than was anticipated
1t is not to be expected, however,
that the present promise will be main
tanned. The period OF greatest strain
on the plants Is at hand. The lack Of
suosoil moisture has not developed a
serious situation, but this is only be-
cause good rains have come at the
critical moment. 1t is still indicated
that such trouble as may be ahead of
the crop will most likely be the need
OF adequate moisture.
Winter wheat has suffered some loss
the last week as a result of high |
temperatures and dry soil, but the |
deterioration was checked by cool |
weather and precipitation before any
great damage had been done The |
trade has, undoubtedly, seen the max
imum promise of winter wheat, but the
area remaining to be harvested is SO |
large that an average or better crop |
is still suggested.
AS general statement the grain
helds of the northwest are like a
garden. The area in the extreme
western section of the belt, extending
into Montana, has had a wetting

to force growth, indicating a prelim-
mary condition above the normal This
