GLENDALE. July 8, 1911.-Crop
conditions have not improved during
the mast week. The western part OF
the county received heavy showers
last night, but hot winds prevailing to-
day will cause further damage. Corn
is doing we'll, but small grains Will
not make better than half crop.
Steele County.
HOPE, July Slot weather has
caused some deterioration in crop con-
ditions since last report. But there
has not been any serious letting down.
MANY pieces of fax show wilt. Corn
has ben growing wonderfully and the
fields are clean. Wheat, barley and
oats are all heading out nicely. In
dications at this writing are for rain
which will be acceptable although 1t is
not though THAT we are suffering.
Conditions still indicate better than
an average crop of all kinds.
Emmons County.
HAZELTON, July s. Crops have
had no relief from the excessive heat.
Harvesting of winter rye is on and
it seems to be one of the best crops
we can raise. Tame grass has been
mown and will be about half crop.
Prairie hay is now being cut.
RichIand County.
WAHPETON, July 8.-With nearly
an inch of rain for the week late crops
have picked up a little, but the main
part is too far gone to be benefited.
Everybody busy making hay which is
very thin and short. Many farmers
are cutting oats for hay, also wheat,
and blowing barley under for next
year. Rye and winter wheat being
cut and will make about I. per cent OF
a crop. Corn is tasseling out, but
will be short of stalk on account of
lack of moisture. Millet put in in
good shape June list is doing we'll, but
where not properly titled is being
seeded over.
Ramsey County.
CHURCHS FERRY, July S.-Crop
condition less favorable owing to hot
winds and lessened precipitation, In
some parts of the county. Rain, how
ever, fell last night over large areas,
cooling the air and renewing the moist
ure. All kinds of grain are generally
in good thrifty order. Wheat is now
heading out in excellent shape. Corn
and fax are maturing in promising
manner and other grains are holding
their own. Potatoes and other vege-
tables are healthy and rank, and small
fruit is plentiful Stock is in prime
shape. Farmers are busy haying. the
crop being large and of good quality.
Potato bugs are active and injuring
the vines. No grasshoppers report
ed. Weeds are very abundant, more
so than in any other year, owing to
superabundant precipitation.
Mountraii County.
STANLEY, July S.-Crops are be-
ginning to suffer in this county and
have already been damaged by the dry
weather and hot winds. A heavy
shower Friday night will give further
life to the crops in parts of the coun-
ty for about another week, but in gen.
eral rain is needed very badly. No
general rain for three weeks. Flax is
still looking good. Wheat is begin
mig to head out on short straw.
Williams County.
SPRING BROOK. July s. Crops
have suffered considerable the past
week on account of drouth. Wheat and
oats are so damaged as to reduce the
yield one half. Damage to wheat is
not entirely due to drouth; there
seems to be some sort of a wilt dis
ease which is unknown to all of US
here. Potatoes, corn. fax and rye
promise a good crop. A rain last
night helped things out wonderfully.
Cavalier County.
LANGDON, July S.-Crop conditions
on the whole are very favorable. The
late grain needs some rain in some
places. Good rains fell over a large
portion of the county during the past
forty-eight hours, sufftcing for the
crops. Only portion of the county
is suffering from drouth and little
or no damage has been done so far
from lack of rain. Early wheat is
heading out and promises, with good
weather for filling, to produce big
crop. In places the late oats have
been damaged and will not yield very
we'll. BARLEY has not been damaged
and there are some excellent fields OF
that grain in the county. All told, con-
ditions are favorable and, with present
prospects, the county should produce
the largest crop in it's history.
LaMoure County.
LA INQUIRE, July 8.-Weather and
crop conditions a repetition of past
weeks, except that all grain and vege-
tation has grown perceptibly. Wea-
Their has been comparatively cool the
greater part of the week, with one or
two hot days. Flax is doing especial.
~ good with excellent crop assured
A few showers during the week have
aided materially so that everything
