CROPS, HUMMER
Spring Wheat will Average Full
Crop in Red River Valley
Countias.

Bismarck, N. d, Aug. IA
Especially - Commissioner of
Agriculture Gilbreath in his
last crop report for 1911 says:
almost without exception
the favorable reports received
last week have been repeated
for the week just ending. In
many instances fields which
were given up as beyond hope
are now expected to give a re-
munerative yield. The reports
or dam age from rust in the
eastern counties have quite
generally proven to be grossly
exaggerated, although one
county anticipates a damage to
spring wheat from this source
of from 25 to 30 per cent.
"Such threshing as has been
done indicates q bigger yied
than was anticipated at one
time and of excellent quality.
Flax will give almost if not
quite an average crop, the final
outcome depends upon wealth.
er conditions from now on, an
early killing frost being the
most to be feared for this crop.
"Spring wheat will average
almost full crop in all of the
Red River counties and those
of the second tier north and
south from that river fully
more than half a crop, will be
secured in the rest of the state.
AS these Red river counties
produce about half of the wheat
raised in the state this estimate
would indicate almost three
quarters crop of the principal
cereal grown, the same estimate
will apply to oats and barley.
Winter rye is threshing out al.
most a full crop.
"Corn will be the best crop in
years if frost holds off and rip.
ening weather prevails. Hay
and all kinds of roughage will
be plentiful and stock will go
into the winter in prime condi
ton. Potatoes promises we'll,
the late rains assuring at least
an average yield. Harvest is
now general all over the state,
and this report will be the last
issued by the department for
the season of. l9l1."

A TERRIBLE pRouehr.

If reports coming direct from the country west of the Missouri river can be believed there are sections of the territory mentioned which are now experiencing the worst and most dis astrous drought in period of thirty or forty years. It has been aggravated greatly owing to the fact that the drought of the present season follows on the heels of the unusually protract ed dry spell of last year. In many localities the soil was so dry the past spring that the seed sown has not yet germinated. In other sections where the seed germinated and grew and gave promise of abundant yield har vest hopes have been blasted by week after week of whitening, bistering. burning heat. with no refreshing rain or cool interval to stay the disaster. which in Oklahoma and portions of Kansas. Nebraska and South Dakota seems to be about as complete as could be. Thousands of unfortunate home steaders in the drought stricken belt, with reserve depleted as result of last years drought. will have to have aid where they are. starYe or leave their claims and throw themselves or the mercy and support of relatives and friends In many states farther east the drought has been severe, but has been relieved at intervals by rain. but in the territory first mentioned if has been well nigh indescribable.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

A calamity Is often a blessing in dis guise In no event of large importance has the truth of this fact been more forcefully demonstrated than in the visitation upon certain sections of the south of the cotton boil weevil. For time dire disaster seemed about to overwhelm the localities visited by the pest, but the very fact that tillers of the soil were compelled to turn to the raising of other crops-corn, milo maize. field peas and beans. clover and alfalfa-and to dairying and stock rais- ing has. in fact. been of the greatest possible benefit 10 the pest ridden sec tons Some important lessons have been gleaned from the experience. among them that there Is more money in diversified farming than in cotton raising, that soil fertility can be main tained and even increased if the le- gumes are used in rotation and if dairying and stock raising is carried on; that more cotton can be produced per acre in rotation with other crops and that the boil weevil pest is great ly reduced us direct result of rota- tion. It has further demonstrated pretty clearly to the southern cotton grower that he can just as well pro- duce on his own plantation a whole lot of the things he has been shipping in from a distance at long prices and heavy transportation charges.
