Hot and dry weather prevailed
throughout the week with the excep-
ton Of local showers Saturday night.
Excellent weather for harvesting, but
potatoes and corn need rain. Harvest
ing Of all grains is half finished. Most
of the wheat will be Of good quality
and will yield above the average. A
few fields still green will b. affected
by rust. Oats and barley are IS per
cent cut. Yields appear to be normal
to heavy. Rye has threshed out from
10 ito Is bushels to the acre. The
higher yields are from summer, fall
low. Corn is in good condition and
we'll advanced except on the last plant
ings which have made slow growth.

A strip of territory covering 20
miles in length and one and one-half
miles in width was hailed to a con
siderable extent on July 81, parts of
the district suffering a total loss. Har-
vesting of Marquis wheat commenced
on Saturday, the 5th. This week be-
ing very warm made the crop come
in fast and practically all the fields
are Fastening towards maturity. Rye
Is all cut, and oats are being cuts Con-
siderable of the wheat and oats havs
lodged due to heavy winds and heavy
growth: A few farmers have thresh.
ed their. y but no report has been
obtained as to the yield. Black Les
in the potatoes is about 10 per cent.
Potatoes are setting we'll. Pastures
are good. Most of the hay is put up,
but some more will be put up after
harvest. Black rust is appearing in
a good many of Abe fields and will
without a doubt do some damage to
late wheat. The early seeding will
not be affected to any large extent
W. l.. Johns.
A light, rain fell on Tuesday and
the week ended with a rain late Sat
urday night which continued most Of
Sunday. Extreme southern part OF
the county is badly in need of rain.
Rye is all cut and barley is about so
per cent harvested. Oats and wheat
are being generally harvested all over
the county. Some rye was threshed.
running from 8 to 90 bushels. Most
of the farmers ire disappointed in the
rye yield. Rust has done very little
injury to the early seeded wheat,
while the later seeded grains are badly
infected with the disease. Corn and
potatoes have been much benefited
by the recent rains and are coming
along very. nicely. Alfalfa and sweet
clover pastures are>still in good cons
dition.-E. W. Vancura.

Throughout the week. Wheat harvest
ing is on in full force. Considerable

Black rust is quite prevalent. Some
especially late fields appear to be
damaged as high as so per cent.-R.

Weather has been extremely hot
and dry. Potatoes have suffered, es-
pecially on the light land. Several
reports, of loss Of horses in harvest,
due to overheating, have come in
Weather cooled of last Of week. Con-
siderable red rust is present in wheat,
as well as some black stem rust. Har-
yesting has been going on for a week
and a good deal is cut. Shortage OF
labor is a factor. Much wheat is I'M
shocked. Quality is fine. Early oat.
are about harvested and a very good
crop. The late oats are looking fine
