wind followed by cool cloudy weather
with light rains. Seeding about fin
ished, the last being barley and oats
on land that has blown out earlier in
the season. But little further DAM
age from winds is anticipated. Pota-
toes. corn and forage crops are in ex-

Pcmbina, June 24--Conditons un.
changed since week ago. Warm
days with cool nights and no strong
winds have pushed all vegetation
along. Wheat is in the short blade
with the heaviest stand in years, SO
heavy in fact that lodging is feared
in some cases. All tame grasses are
ready for the mower Grasshoppers
numerous but not damaging grain.

Bowman. June 24.-Hot weather the
first three days of this week took all
the moisture out of the ground, but
a good rain Wednesday night all over
the county frightened up the grain
that had been hurt. Wheat estimat-
ed at IS per cent, oats, so. and barley
60 per cent normal Flax just CON-
ing up and not hurt at all.
Logan County.
Napoleon, June 24.-Very hot wealth
er the first of the week has done con-
siderable damage in the southwest
part of the county, where the rainfall
has been light. The rest of the
county. however, shows little effect
from the hot winds. Some fields of
wheat heading out. Winter rye looks
fine as do other crops over most of
the county. A good rain would be
appreciated and would insure crop.
An unusually good hay crop seems
assured.
Steele County.
Hope. June 24-Several days of ex-
tremely hot weather has caused some
uneasiness, but it is not thought that
any harm has been done as there was
considerable moisture in the soil and
some local showers have helped out.
Corn has been growing very rapidly
and fields are clean and in fine condi-
ton. Wheat is shooting and will
soon be showing iresds. Some COM
plants of potato bugs: Gardens fine.
