Rain is Needed.

The northwestern part Of the state,
at this writing (Tuesday) is praying
for good general rain. The crops
may be said to be in their critical
stage. that is with good rains this
week we will be able to grow good
normal crop, but without them, the
yield is apt to be pretty light. There
are sections where good local showers
have fallen, where the crops will stand
a drouth longer than other localities;
The district southwest of Minot and
to the north, up thru the Glenburn
district, has received good showers
within the last week or two and the
crops are making a fine growth. me
Douglas country also looks splendid.
Velva farmers inform us that rain is
needed very badly and even before TINS
paper is printed we ought to be able
to report good rains,
The crops still retain nice green
color. The wheat has not fired, except
in spots where it was sown too thick
The early barley looks none too good'
as it is heading out short. A little
wheat has started to head out short.
