Nelson County.
Lakota.--Wbeat seeding which WA

was somewhat delayed by frequen
rains, but was practically completed
oy May is. The seed terminated
quickly, and cool weather following the
rains during the past ten days has
helped stooling and. with the excep.
tion of few low spots and dips, Tho
fields show an almost perfect condi-
ton for this time of year. Warm
bright weather is now needed. Oats
and barley seeding is now completed
with conditions exceptionally favor
able. Corn acreage will be treble that
OF last year and seeding Is not yet
complete. Flax is still being sown
with probably larger acreage than
last year and conditions re perfect
especially for that sown on breaking.
Hay crop assured. stand being almost
as heavy now as late in June other
years. Potatoes and garden produce
in good shape but warm weather Is
needed
Ramsey County.
Churchs Ferry-Excessive rain, es-
pecially of late, has interfered with
work, making quite a late seeding this
spring, but wheat and most other GER
calls have been put in the ground, al
though in some localities flax and
some other grains are yet being sown.
There will be a diversity OF grain,
wheat, oats, barley, rye, speltz, corn
and fax, but wheat will be the lead
ing crop. The soil is thoroughly sat-
urated with moisture and all kinds of
grain are in excellent condition and
making good growth. Outlook at this
time is most encouraging for a large
harvest. Grass is plentiful, indicating
a large yield of hay. Potatoes in
good shape. Much corn is up, healthy
and promising. Bushes are loaded
with small fruit. Horses and cattle.
as rule, are In good order, notwith-
standing the shortage last fall of
feed. Brood animals have been pro-
life this spring and young are doing
well. Acreage to crops will equal If
not exceed that of a year ago. Farm
ers are elated over promising con-
ditions.
Trail County.
Hatton-Crops on high lands are
are looking fine. All crops are sown
except millet May was little too
warm for wheat, interfering some-
what with stooling. Rain has been
too plentiful in parts of the county
this spring, the lowlands being under
water several times. Last night
cloudburst occurred in the northern
part of the county and rain is still
falling at this writing. Hundreds of
acres win undoubtedly be drowned
out.
Larimore.-Wheat about ten days
ahead Of the average with a full acre
age all sown three weeks ago. Full
acreage of oats of above average con-
dition at this time. Barley acreage
will be about 80 per cent of last year
and is about all sown. Corn acreage
about three times larger. than ever
before. Potato acreage is cut down
considerably. Rainfall since May 1
has been 7.7S inches. Compared with
ten year average the condition OF
crops is estimated at los per cent.
Stutsman County.
Jamestown.-Crops growing nicely,
being six to eight inchese high, with
good stand and color. The weather
is warm and favorable for general
farm work and growing crops. Free
quent rains have put the ground in
good condition. More land being
80 A. "a ~.
fax, although a considerable amount
Of fax is being put in on breaking.
More corn than usual is being plant
ed. Crops look very promising and If
present weather conditions continue
there ought to be a good yield; in
fact crop and weather conditions
could not be better.
Logan County.
Napoleon.--Some good rains and re-
peated light showers have placed land
in this. county In the best of condition
for a good crop. Much of the acreage
was fall plowed and was cropped un-
usually early this spring and as a
consequence is looking the best OF any
crop in late years. Crops on old
ground are generally wheat and seed
crops. Reports indicate an unusually
large acreage of corn, barley and oats.
Because Of the high prices Of feed and
seed there will be much less land
broken than for the past two years,
and consequently less seeded to fax
Breaking is going on, however, in all
parts OF the county and many thous-
ands OF acres will be broken. Several
steam plows are working in neighbor-
hoods where large tracts are available
and the land is not too hilly.
Oliver County.
Center.--A succession Of light show
ers during the past month were fol-
lowed June / by two inch down
pour. The soil is now in excellent
condition. Late sown grain looks
very good. Some poorly cultivated
early fields are rather weedy. ALI
seeding Is done except fax. The corn
acreage is at least six times that Of
last year. Much breaking is being
done for fax. Pastures are very
good.
Eddy County.
New Rockford Wheat, oats and
barley are all seeded and looking fine.
Corn and potatoes just coming up and
growing rapidly. Large acreage of
flax being seeded. Have had two
heavy rains this week with a deluge
last night. At least two inches has
fallen the past week and no more is
needed at present.
