"Grains are looking fine but rain
would be beneficial. Windy weather
prevailed during the week with a
light rain Saturday. Alfalfa is be-
ginning to blossom and sweet clover
is doing fine. A slight amount of
gopher damage has been reported but
no insect damage to date" Geo. II.
Use, Mandan.
GRAND FORKS
"Ryc is heading out but many
fields are being plowed up due to
the poor stand. Other small grain
crops are in good condition. Most OF
the potato planting is finished, but
considerable flax remains to be seed
ed. Rainfall the first half of the
week totaled 11a inches. Stands of
alfalfa and sweet clover are general
ly good and pastures and meadows
have made good growth during the
week." d. B. Morris, Grand Forks.
FOSTER
seeding is practically finished,
summer following will begin shortly
and the farmers will be haying in
three or four weeks. Potato planting
is about over with the acreage slight
ly reduced from last year. Farmers
are cultivating corn. Pastures are
slow due to cold weather. Warm
weather prevailed during the week
with a good rain June 3. Hail was
reported along Pipe Stem Creek" c.
G. Lake, Darlington.
Mclean
"Rye is heading out with very
short straw and some fields will be
cut for hay or used for pasture.
Moisture is needed for this crop. 9th
er grain is doing we'll but rain is
needed in several localities. Late
seeded grain is very uneven and
stubbled in grain is getting weedy
Cutting of yellow sweet clover for
hay will begin next week. Cut worms
are doing some damage and one
farmer has reported damage from
grasshoppers. Rainfall during the
week ranged from nothing to y
inch" A. l.. Norling, Washburn.
GRANT
RYE is heading out but the stand
is generally poorer than last year.
Corn planting is in full swing and
number of fields are up. Low ger
minating seed is responsible for poor
stands in several fields. Wheat on
corn ground and early seeded wheat
is looking fine. Two good showers
during the week helped all crops.
Pastures and meadows are in excel
lent condition. Reports of cut worm
damage are being received but they
are not nearly so extensive as last
year at this time" r. c. Newcomer,
Carson.
ADAMS
"Some flax and millet is still being
sown. Crops are looking good and a
heavy soaking rain Saturday evening
should benefit them. Alfalfa and
sweet clover are over foot high and
cutting for hay will begin next week.
No insect or rodent damage has been
reported" p. j. Gwyther, Hettinger.
GOLDEN VALLEY
"All small grain is seeded and most
Of the corn is coming up. Some corn
and alfalfa will be planted during the
next two weeks. Ground is still be-
ing pl0wed for millet. Cut worms
are again doing considerable damage
but the plentiful supply Of moisture
is helping to hold them in check.
The greatest damage is resulting in
:. fields where grain has been poorly
stumbled in. Alfalfa and sweet clev-
81 are looking fine. Heavy winds
