CROP PROSPECT FALLS OFF

=aalEN TNSEkEaE5
While rust and hot winds have
raised havoc with the crops in many
localities in North Dakota some sec-
tions will have a better crop than has
been harvested since 1915. according
to reports received the past few days
According to these reports the good
crop area is 80 large that the total
wheat crop for North Dakota will be
considerably larger than last year.
Wheat would appear at a conserva-
tive estimate now as the crop is
ripening and harvest less than a week
away to forecast an average yield
over the county nf a ten bushel crop
per acre. 1t is the same crop that
less than a month ago held out the
the promise of a twenty bushel crop.
This depreciation, which in less than
than a month has practically cut the
yield of u staple crop product in
kswo is due mainly to the hot scorch-
ting winds, aided by lack of needed
trains to aid the parched fields of
grain to recover. The crop over the
county will of course vary and there
are sections of the county where the
ten bushel estimate will fall short Of
the yield, but there is quite a wide
strip north of Langdon, running
through the Nit. Carmel settlement.
that is way below the average
1t may also be said that the same
condition exists around both Calvin
and Sarles to quite an extent, Rust
has also made its appearance and
affected the possible crop outlook
in some localities within the past
ten days or so.
In the northwestern part of the
state where the wheat crop has been
almost a total failure for the past
five years, a splendid crop is reported
this year. Divide, Williams, McKen-
zie, Renville and Mountrail counties
report the crops as in splendid condi-
tion. Ward county has been hit by
hot winds and rust as have the
counties bordering on it on the east.
Reports from Eddy and Foster
counties the past few days have been
very encouraging and q normal crop
is expected there. Some sections Of
Dickey, LaMoure and Sargent coun.
ties report good yields. but Barnes
and Stutsman counties are generally
hard hit. Morton county crops are al
most a total failure except for small.
yields of Wheat in isolated section.
The entire Red River Valley, ex-
