Cool Weather Has So Far
Allayed Apprehension

Although heavy rains were reported
Wednesday at points in southern Min

1.31 inches and st. Paul fall Of
inches, reports so far indicate that
there was but little rain in North d.

Light snow fell in the region west of
the Little Missouri river, a mixture OF
rain and snow being visited upon that
| district. The snow melted as 1t hit
| the ground, and served to give some
| benefit to the crops there.
No rains were reported in the east
ern end of the state the last twenty
| four hours, despite reports to the con-
trary emanating from the twin cities.
Frost Does Some Damage.
At points in the northern part Of the
state, there was damage by frost dur
ing the night.
Langdon reports that frost there cut
barley and fax, which was just start
ing, and that 1t damaged wheat. Dat
fields were not hurt.
Cando indicates that no frost damage
was done there except to early fax and
garden stuff. The damage, however. is
not looked upon as permanent.
In the Bottineau region, there was
only slight frost damage to garden
truck. Winter rye and gardens there
are suffering some for the lack OF
rain.
Some Fargo Gardens Nippsd.
Some Fargo gardens were nipped by
the frost during the night, though not
seriously. Only the more tender varie-
ties Of vegetables were hit.
The Fargo low temperature mark
was 3S degrees, as indicated by the
government station in Moorhead. At
Devils Lake, the low point was SO de-
grees, while Havre, Mont, with % de-
grees, is the lowest point indicated on
the weather map as issued by the
Moorhead weather station today.
Barley 10 Cut Down.
In the extreme western sections OF
North Dakota, some barley was cut
down by the frost of last Saturday
night and Sunday morning. Reports
received in Fargo indicate the need Of
rain to start such barley again.
Rain reports received here also indi-
cate that early this week there was a
goodly supply of moisture in the ex-
treme southwest section Of the state,
in the Golden Valley county district.
Grows Well.
Crops generally are growing very
we'll at the present time, according to
the reports received in Fargo. The
cool weather has served to allay some
apprehension on the continued absence
of rain, although 1t is generally felt that
in the event the weather warns up,
rain will follow.
North Dakota usually gets rains in
early June. and If these are received,
the outlook will be splendid. 2

A accent decline in the price OF -four
on the Fargo markets since last Sat
urday when the quotation was 1856 a

ton from the dealers that bread would
soon drop from Is to IL cents for the
S2-ounce loaf.
Good crop reports from Texas and
Oklahoma were influential in lowering
the price OF wheat on the Minneapolis
board Of trade and subsequently
brought the general downward move
ment in the price of -four all over the
nation. Fargo dealers reported that
since Monday four has been retailing
at SIPS. the price quoted today. On
May II, it retailed at 1915 hundred
weight.

When flour started to soar about
the first Of May, bakers raised the
price Of bread which retatled on the
morning OF May 18 in the Fargo stores
at II cents a S2-ounce loaf, theshigh-
est IL has been here since the civil
war. With the big slump or drop of
$3.50 per hundred since May IL, deal
ers say that IL cents-a-loaf bread will
be on the market by Friday or Satur,-
day morning of this week.
No change of price is anticipated in
the small loaf, but its weight Of six
teen ounces will be increased.
Minneapolis markets reported the
price Of sugar as being lower today,
Fargo dealers received notice of no
drop so sugar (cane) still retails at
S10.75 per hundred in Fargo, and beet
sugar at $1065. Minneapolis reports
that sugar was 80 cents to IS cents of
