seed crop, due to the extremely dry
,weather."-M. c. Thomas, Towner.
BOTTINEAU
| Harvesting Of wheat Is about fin
ished, but most of the acreage Of
flax and feed crops remains to be
cut. Early. reports of threshing show
rye ranging from one to 20 bushels
and wheat from two to IL bushels.
Corn and potatoes are in very good
condition" &C. B. Aamodt, Bottineau.
PIERCE
Late sown wheat is not yielding
as we'll as early wheat, and recent
returns are disappointing. Grades
vary from No. 3 to No. l. Corn con.
tinues to look good and potatoes are
developing we'll with the exception of
fields damaged by bugs. Sweet
clover is being cut for seed."-H. R.
Danielson, Rugby.
TOWNER
considerable variation in wheat
yields is shown by threshing reports
from different territories, giving a
range Of from four to 16 bushels per
acre. Kota wheat is consistently
yielding high. with the lowest report
10 1-2 bushels, and with a good
grade. Barley and oats are light, but
late fields of flax promise a good
yield. Corn is above normal and DO
tatoes below normal. Threshine has
been delayed by local showers during
the week.. w. Lawton, Cando.
CAVALIER
"A few reports Of wheat threshinp
give yields Of six to ten bushels for
marquis and eight to 16 bushels for
durum. Local showers have inter-
fered considerably with threshing.
Corn was damaged slightly by frost
during the week. Pastures are in
good condition."-W. L. Johns. Lang.

PEMBINA
"Threshing is in full swing, and all
sorts Of yields are reported with an
average in the neighborhood Of eight
bushels per acre from the early re-
ports. received. Barley and rye are
giving light yields. Potatoes will
make a fair crop with an indicated
average Of IS bushels. Disease is
very prevalent, particularly rhizoc-
tonia and black leg. Pastures are
fair, particularly sweet clover."-E
G. Parizek, Cavalier.
BENSON
"Threshing is half finished and
yields of wheat are varying from two
to II bushels, with the average about
seven bushels per acre. Corn was
damaged by frost in some localities"
Irving Courtice, Minneawaukan.
RAMSEY
"Threshing is we'll under way with
the yields ranging from four to is
bushels Of poor quality wheat. The
potato crop is very spotted, due to
uneven distribution Of moisture. Late
fields were damaged by frost August
%. Corn was also damaged in some
localities. Seed crops of alfalfa and
, sweet clover will be only fair."-A.
M. Challey, Devils Lake.
GRAND FORKS
"Threshing of, small grains is gen
eral with yields averaging very close
to the early estimates of z bus. for
wheat; oats, 20 to Is; and barley Is
to 20. Wheat is Of very poor ouali-
ty weighing from 81 to 81 pounds per
bushel. Potato yields will be only
fair, and the number Of marketable
tubers will be further reduced, due
to growth cracks and knobby pota-
toes, which are quite prevalent. Corn
continues to be the most promising
crop."-D. B. Morris, Grand Forks.
FOSTER
"Threshing is about half finished.
and the average production for wheat
will be in the neiehborhood of six
bushels per acre, yields reported at
the present time range from three
to ten bushels. A fairly good flax
crop is anticipated. The corn crop
will be the best in history if the
frost stays off for few more days.
Potatoes are very uneven and the
yield probably will not exceed go
bushels per acre, with many second
growths and growth cracks. Pastures
are short. due to the dry weather.
c. c. Lake, Darlington.
WELLS
Threshing is about three-ouarters
finished and is being held up due to
shortage of men. A number of
threshsrs will wait till their neigh
bors finish. so that the same crew
can be used. Silo filling will begin
next week."-E. w. Vancura, Fessen.

yields of wheat are generally
light, with only few fields that
will pay more than expenses. Early
oats are reported to have yielded Is
bushels, but the farmers believe that
late oats will give better return.
Barley is also light. Flax fields are
very weedy, and prospects for this
crop are not so good. Corn contin-
9es to look good."-R. S. Goodhue,
KIDDER
Ihreshers report that yields range
from three to IL bushels. Potatoes
are looking fine, and corn is in az
