reported very fine honey crops. As
indicated in previous reviews, the
wheat yield was extremely poor, but
other crops, particularly oats, rye,
corn, flax, barley and sugar beets are

grain yield probably will not be a
record breaker but will at least be
satisfactory from the standpoint of
quantity.
Forest fires on the north which
were checked by showers ten days
ago have again become serious and
the forestry department has its hands

and Beltrami counties has been
burned over. Most of the fires are
in peat lands but some timber has
been burned.
| The coal situation throughout the
state is not satisfactory. Labor trou-
bles are partly responsible but coal
dealers are hoping that the shortage
will be relieved this month. It is
probable that less coal was delivered
this summer to private houses and
apartments than was delivered in
1918 or 1919.
