CROP PROSPECTS
MUCH IMPROVED

Minot, N. d., Aug. 9.---With more
than four inches of rain in the last
ten days. crop conditions in western
North Dakota are ideal. The album
dance Of moisture has been accompan-
led by cool weather. Farmers report
that wheat and fax are filing well
and that many fields that four weeks
ago looked like complete failures will
80 from eight to ten bushels to the
acre, and in many instances the yield
VIII run to fifteen and twenty bushels
OF wheat to the acre.
Black rust has appeared in a few
places in western North Dakota but
the damage from this source has been
very slight indeed, and does not ma
.terially affect the situation.
Flax generally Is an excellent stand
and with favorable weather during the
next two weeks good fax crop will
be assured. There is plenty Of mois-
ture in the soil to mature the fax
crop. The only danger is that on ac-
count Of the heavy rains. some OF the
flax may not ripen in time to escape
the frost.
