Northern Minnesota Har-
vest Is In Full Blast
Barley and Rye Cutting Finished and
Wheat Harvest Will Start
4, This Week

Fergus Falls, July 26.-Westem
Minnesota is in the midst of an early
harvest, notwithstanding the fact
that grain was sown unusually late
this year.
Barley and rye cutting is about
complete in this locality, and the
wheat harvest is beginning.
A few years ago harvesting of
wheat seldom began until the second
week in August, but with the develop
ment of Inew. varieties in an effort to
beat the rust, harvesting is from one
to two weeks earlier.
Although some of the wheat has
suffered from rust, the yield promises
to be above the average.
Corn and Potatoes are said to be
suffering from prolonged dry weather.
