Harvey, June 3, 1911.-Crop pros
poets are perfect. We have had se'
eral heavy rains during the pas
week, so that thereYs sufficient moist
ure for some time. All crops ar
showing a healthy growth and neve
looked better at this time of year
Wheat covers about three-fourths o
the acreage, the balance being prin
cipally in oats. Very little barley AM
flax have been sown. Local news
papers estimate an acreage of 400
planted to corn. Estimates increase
of ) per cent in total acreage over las
| season.

There have been a few local show
ers but other localities have had none

but none are suffering yet. Most OF
the flax is sown, but is not yet up.
Cavalier County.
LangdOn, June 3, 19l1.-Crop con-
ditions are the best they have been
in years for this time of year. The
ground was in fine condition for seed
ing and there has been an abundance
of moisture since then. Wheat is all
up and looking fine and quite free from
weeds. The early sown grain is COW
ering the ground in nice shape and
wheat has fine start and is st0oling
nicely. Oats are all in and in most
cases are up and looking we'll. Bar.
ley is nearly all in and will be com.
pleted by the end of next week. More
flax has been sown than for few
years past and some fields are already
up and looking we'll. General acreage
OF grains of all kinds, excepting bar
ley, has been increased. More corn
has been put in and more grass ha.
been SOWn.
Walsh County.
Grafton, June 3, 1911.-Crops gener-
ally never looked better for this sea-
son of the year. Seeding was finished
in good season and since then we have
had plenty of rain throughout the
county. Weather conditions have been
ideal for small grain and the acre.
age is equal to if not larger than last
year. A few scattering reports are
coming in of damage to fax and gar
den truck from cut worms, but the
damage does not seem to be general.
Ward County
Minot, June 1911.-Crop condi.
tons in Ward county this spring are
the most favorable they have been
for years, and all fears on the score
of moisture are at rest, as the coun-
try is thoroughly soaked; in fact rain
has interfered somewhat with late
seeding. Early sown wheat is up six
inches or more and growing rapidly.
There has been large amount of
breaking done, due to the facilities
offered by the increasing number of
traction plow outfits. and there is yet
more to do as quickly as conditions |
will permit, which will largely in.
crease the acreage devoted to fax.
Nelson County.
LakOta. June 3, 1911.-Wheat seed.
ing which was we'll started by the
middle of April was somewhat de-
layed by frequent rains, but was prac-
tically completed by May Is. The
seed terminated quickly. and cool |
weather following the rains during |
the past ten days has helped stooling |
and, with the exception of a few low |
spots and dips. the fields show an
almost perfect condition for this time
Of year. Warm, bright weather is
now needed Oats and barley seeding
is now completed with conditions ex-
ceptionally favorable. Corn acreage
will be treble that of last year and
seeding is not yet completed. Flax
is still being sown with a probably
larger acreage than last year and con-
1itions are perfect, especially for that
sown on breaking. Hay crop assured,
stand being almost as heavy now as
ate in June other years. Potatoes
md garden produce in good shape but
warmer weather is needed.
