prospects. Rain would be beneficial
toathe late crop in Minnesota and is
now needed in some valley and ZEN
trail areas in North Dakota. Pre-
valence Of disease in North Dakota is
now reported ove a wide area and is
causing some concern, although the
condition of the crop is still consid-
cred satisfactory. Early potatoes are
yielding we'll in South Dakota and
movement of the Minnesota crop Is
reported fairly good.
Pastures and Live Stock.
Pastures continue good except in
Minnesota where dry weather has re-
tarded growth. Ranges continue in
excellent condition generally with h
grass curing in fine shape and prom
Using abundant fall and winter range.
Live stock throughout the region is
maintaining an excellent summer con-
ditton. Montana wool is moving
yapidly.
Farm labor requirements to date
have not developed any serious short
age and although the peak of the
demand is yet to be reached. it is
generally expected that the require
ments will be taken care of satisfac-
torily.
