Cass County.
Local showers interfered with

estimated Z to 8 bushels an acre.
Some flax was probably damaged by
frost on the night OF September 8.
Yields of marketable potatoes are es-
timated at 40 bushels an acre. Many
fields will not be dug unless prices
improve materially. Marketable pota-
toes are OF good quality. Pastures have
improved since recent rains, with
sweet Glove rand alfalfa especially
good, although the seed crop of sweet
clover and alfalfa will be short. Much
OF the corn is poor, being badly dam
fields, where crop was planted early
and spring floods did not interfere
with cultivation. Frost on Saturday
night ma have damaged some corn.
McHenry County.
T%hreshing was held up this week

threshed grain. T%hreshing returns
from this county show no appreciable
change from earlier reports. Wheat

rye 1S bu., oats and hurley 80 and 35
bu., corn that Mas not been damaged
by the storm is maturing nicely and
is out of dangeNDf frost. Potatoes are
we'll ripened and digging will cop-
next week, with yields predict

pastures remain excellent and a new
growth of alfalfa is showing up fairly
we'll.
Williams County.
There were heavy rains in all parts
of the county during the wee and
there has been practically no thresh-
ing. Not more than s to So is ON
pleted. Wheat yields range from 10
to 35 bushels an acre, with an aver
age of Is bushels. Most of the oats
and barley will yield Is to SO bush
els. Corn Is ripening rapidly, silos
are being filled. and II fields are
shocked for fodder. There is Il very
heavy tonnage of it. An abundance
of hay is reported in the county.
Mountrail County.
Due to rains only about 2 days Of
work have been possible. Wheat
yields are reported with an averages
of about II to Is bushels, oats prob
ably All average of about SO bushels;
a large part Of the corn crop Is ma
ture. Some lAte flax is still uncut.
but practically all OF 1t is safe from
frost. Potatoes will not yield as high
as was Indicated earlier in tho season.
digging will begin during the week.

Pierce County.
Practically all corr fields show the
effects of a heavy frost on the night
Of September .. Due to rainy wealth
err, which has delayed threshing op-
.erations; a little Of the wheat coming
into the elevators shows the effect of
sprouting. Wheat yields will average
perhaps IA bushels an acre.. oats 80
to 80 bushels. Considerable corn
has matnred butt the frost caught
most of 1t before the seed was ma
ture. A little corn has been cut for
fodder and some silos have been fill
ed. Some potato seed plots have been
dug that have yielded 225 bushels an
acre. Prospects point to an average
yield of 1875 bushels an acre. Sweet
clover has continued good throughout
tho season. -,.
Grand County.
There is continued dry weather in
most parts OF the county with a few
local showers, but nc frost reported.
Corn is being harvested and the
greater portion of the crop is out OF
the way Of frost. Silo filing is in
dug are yielding we'll. Wheat yields
average 10 to 20 bushels. oats SO
bushels. barley 40 bushels, rye Is to
Is bushels. Pastures and meadows
rather dry, hay yields have been
good, and alfalfa and sweet clover
are in good condition now.
Stutsman County.
T%hreshing has been delayed by fire.
quent showers. A considerable acre
age of winter rye is being sown. Pc
tato yields are estimated at one-half
of last years crop on account of dry
weather during the summer. The
quality Of potatoes will be much bet
ter than the average due to seed
treatment and election practiced by
farmers this year. Low prices may
keep many from attempting to mar
ket the potatoes. Wheat yields will
probably average 10 to IA bushels to
the ere No damage was done by
the slight frost on Saturday night.
Many farmers are now filling silos.
Golden Valley County.
A heavy wind and hail storm blew
shocks to the ground. The damage
runs from 20 to 500 in shocks, &C.
cording to hail loss claims. Some of
the best wheat crops run from Is to
rs bushels, with an average of about
Is bushels\or a little less. Not a bit
but a good share of the crop was
well advanced and will not be a total
loss. The potato crop is about ripe
so the loss from hail will not be
great. Oats will yield we'll. Flax or
old ground was the best crop In
years. There will be plenty OF feed
here this winter. Alfalfa and sweet
clover left for seed Is about all lost
due to hail. Grasshoppers are very
numerous. but cut worn moths do
do not seem to be appearing in as
great quantities as they did, during
the past few years.
