Slight frosts We're reported in
several places but little damage re-
suited. Therefore. rains have made
availab BILE plenty of moisture for the
July IA Or Is. Wheat is heading and
on good soil should produce a good
! crop if favorable conditions continue.

in fields where wheat was stubbled IN.
Oats and barley are coming along
all right. Corn is backward but is
in healthy condition. Potatoes are
! nave been obtained from the fields.
Cutting of hay has started but rainy
weather is hindering successful cur

Cool clear weather prevailed dur
ing the week with a shower Saturday.
Winter rye is ready for harvest and
has ripencd evenly. Most of the
spring wheat is well headed out and
, is filling nicely. Late Sown wheat is
in blossom. Good stands with large
we'll filled heads prevail. Some rust
has been found on the leaves of
'E..eat. Isarly oats is well headed out
and shows IN exceptionally fine stand.
Barley is also doing we'll. Spring rye
is we'll headed n filing nicely. Early
corn is tasselins but the crop is being
! held back by the cool weather. Po-
tatoes are in blossom. Secono
growths of alfalfa n sweet clover
are favored by the rains. Both crops
arc furnishing excellent hay and pas
turc. Despite the wet weather

the northern part of the county. Re-
ports have come in from Karlsruhe
and from the southern part Of the
county northeast Of Bergen. Grass
hoppers are found generally where

possibility that wheat in bloom in
similar places was damaged AT the

Three rains during the week to-
tailed LAT inches of moisture Cold
weather has prevailed and conditions
have been ideal for small grains, 20
tatoes and grasses but too cool Tor
corn. Rye is filling well with long
heads and an excellent stan in most
fields. Warm weather will make rye
harvest general in a week OF ten days.
The best fields are those planted on
summer fallow Wheat, oats and
barley promise a good crop unless
rust develops. Frequent rains have
! interfered with cultivation OF corn
but a good crop Of fodder at least is
anticipated. Most of the sweet clover
and alfalfa has been cut for hay. CIV
ing excellent yields and the second
growth has already made a good
start. Prairie hay is very 5000. 70
tatoes are coming along well n m
dications are for good yields with the
exception of a few fields where a thin
stand exists due to use Of poo seed
not properly sorted. cultivation on
low ground has been difficult due to
frequent rains.'-A. j, BredVold.
