throughout the week."-Carl Swan
son, Bowbells.
MISUNDERSTANDING is general
throughout the county, and spring
wheat yields are from three to 10
bushels Of very fair quality. Some
lIeids of wheat we're not cut because
of damage by drouth and rust. From
II to Ia percent Of gluten is shown
by test. Rye yields are from five to
II bushels; oats, from 20 to as; bar
ley yielded 20. Corn and potatoes
look much improved. An average of
65 bushels per acre of potatoes is
expected. Much sweet clover is being
cut for seed, and many farmers have
put up a nice amount of sweet clover
hay. Native meadow hay is also
plentiful and excellent. The weather
was somewhat cloudy with few
showers. IN. c. Thomas, Towner.
BENSON-"Threshing is we'll un-
der way, with grain running from
two to IL bushels and Kota and Mn
dunn showing up we'll above others.
The northwestern part of the coun-
ty, however, has very small crops.
Corn looks we'll, and will be a good
crop if frost holds off. Pastures are
picking up. Soaking showers in the
northern part Of the county stopped
threshing for few ays."-Irving
Courtice, Minnewaukan. ts-
WILLlAMS-"Harvesting is nearly
completed, and threshing has started
west of Williston. The reported yields
are light, and the grade is poor, the
average yield of wheat being about
10 bushels and rye about seven. A
few fields of flax are harvested. The
stand is good, except where wilt has
done damage. Corn is the best the
county has ever produced, and is in
the dent stage. Potato bugs are still
cutting down the vines and lessening
the yields. Sweet clover pastures are
drying up in localities, and need
rain."-E. G. Schollander, Williston.
RAMSEY-"Yields of wheat 80
far threshed range from five to
IL bushels. The quality of grain
Is varying greatly, but the aver
age is probably no more than fair.
Rain has prevented threshing, and
not much has been done. The al
talfa and sweet clover that was
left for seed has not made much
progress. Most of the corn looks
good, and with average fall con-
ditions, will be an excellent CROP"
"A. M. Challey, Devils Lake.
WARD-"The wheat harvest is
completed, but some fields of oats
and barley are yet to be harvest
ed. Wheat threshing has Just
commenced, early returns showing
from six to Is bushels. Due to
potato bugs, injury, not more than
a SO percent crop over last year
will be harvested. Field after
field is now being abandoned.
Weather has ranged from cool and
foggy to hot and clear."-John
HUSKY, Minot.
GFAND FORKS74"Wheat har-
vest is completed, and threshing
is general. Early threshing re-
turns bear out estimates that the
crop had been injured by heat and
rust. Wheat will average about
seven bushels and is grading from
No. 2 to No. 4. Barley will aver
age about 10 bushels, and oats
about 20. Flax prospects are
fair. and this crop will probably
yield six to seven bushels. Pota-
toes are showing good set, with
cbrn we'll hdYanced. Pastures
generally are in good condition,
with sweet clover affording the
most feed. The weather has been
cool, with some showers. I'D. B.
Morris, Grand Forks.
GRANT-"The harvesting is
nearly completed and some thresh-
ing has been done. Reports show
that wheat is running from seven
to. IL bushels per acre. Corn and
hav crops are in good condition.
Alfalfa fields in general will fur

light rain occurred during the
week. R. C. Newcomer, Carson.
