SHERIDAN COUNTY.

McClusky, July Is, l9l2.-Crops o
all kinds in this vicinity still continue
to look very favorable except in place:
where parties have drilled in the grair
on the stubble, and in these place.
the crop seems to be very poor, there
being more weeds than anything else
We have had a great abundance Of rair
but very little hail, although in some
localities in the county east and north
of here there has been some. Corn
and potatoes are looking exceptionally
good and all garden truck is growing
fine.
EDDY COUNTY.
New Rockford, July 10, l9l2.-
Weather the past month has been very
favorable for all crops on high land,
the low spots being handicapped by ex-
cessive moisture. Early sown grains
are very rank and heavy, but later
crops do not show up as well as they
should at this time Of the year. Corn
on high ground is good. Potatoes are
in excellent condition. All hay crops
are fine. Rye will be cut in two weeks.
Barley and early wheat are headed out
with oats following closely. We look
for the best all round crop, if nothing
happens, since 1895.
OLIVER COUNTY.
Center, July Is, Observation-Disclosures
ing lack of moisture from the 18th of
June to first Of July, nc crops suffered
except those drilled in on the stub
Bile, and ever these still look good.
Early grain is heading out. Flax has
a fine stand. Corn is good. All grain
in plowed fields is looking fine and an
abundant harvest is expected. The hay
crop is excellent and haying has com
menced.
TRAIL COUNTY.
Hatton, July Is, 19l2.-Weather
conditions are ideal for growing crops
although there may be a little toe
much moisture for wheat and oats.
For millet and all late sown crops the
weather cannot be beaten. About 50
per cent of wheat is in the head and
some fear rust. The heaviest rain in
fourteen months fell last Monday night.
With dry weather from now on this
rain will prove a great blessing, as
water in wells has been low all spring.
Pastures are in fine condition as a re-
suit of the rain, only tame hay that was
cut suffering. There have been no re-
ports of damage by hail.
DIVIDE COUNTY.
Crosby, July Is, l9l2.-Present pros
poets in Divide county indicate that the
crop will be a bumper. Weather con-
ditions have been favorable the whole
season. There has been some hot
weather, but no appreciable damage has
been done as there was practically no
wind during the hot periods. A small
area has been damaged by hail. a few
farmers sustaining a total loss. SO
far as moisture is concerned the crops
here are safe.
PEMBINA COUNTY.
Pembina, July Is, 19l2.-Three big
hail storms the past few days have
completely destroyed several thousand
acres of the %county's best crops. One
of these started in the eastern central
part and Travelled northwest in a strip
three miles wide to the Canadian Dor
der. Another starting in the central
part travelled southeast for twenty miles
crossing. to Minnesota at Drayton. In
some localities the rain has been too
heavy but, as a whole, the moisture is
now sufficient to carry the crop
through. All grain looks fine and has
a very healthy color. Wheat is all out
in head. Haying is started and the
farmers will have plenty for their own
use.
RAMSEY COUNTY.
Churchs Ferry, July Is, l912.-
Abundant rain has helped the growth
Of grain, also weeds. The highways al
SO are in a muddy condition which
has retarded road work in the county.
Wheat is tall, strong and well headed,
and there is no lodging. This applies
to all grain including flax. Corn is
doing we'll and potatoes and other
vegetables are in a promising condi-
ton. Because Of poor seed, gophers
and rabbits the yield OF orr will be
much less than appeared probable at
time of planting. Though there is an
excess Of moisture the outlook ior d
crop is truly encouraging as bright sun.
shine follows the rain and farmers are
well pleased. Haying in low spots is
progressing slowly though it is cary
yet for this kind Of work. Despite
high winds in the early part Of June
there will be a good fair crop Of small
