Moisture was reported as plenti-
full in most sections of the state cX-
ccpt the Red River Valley where
most reports indicated a deficiency.
This condition has been relieved by
heavy rainfall the last few days.
Considerable hail damage is reported
from western sections of the state
and the damage in areas affected
will probably average around 10 per
cent though the range is from 2 per
cent to practically a total loss. In
general, weather conditions up to
August Is have been favorable to
crops.
Harvesting was progressing quite
rapidly. until the recent heavy rains.
Cons ide rable rye has been thrcshed.
Estimated yields for different crops
are very encouraging. The rye yields
are to date showing better than the
August first estimate. Rust damage
has been serious in many sections.
Durum wheat shows less damage
than other spring wheat. Oats show
the most damage by rust. Rust on
flax is reported from Il few localities.
Army worms are reported as causing
damage from the Northeast and
Southwest districts but the areas af-
fccted are small. All crops are late
and harvest season is about two
weeks late on the average.
Marketing Of sheep Of all ages will
be larger than year ago. The cat
tie movement from North Dakota
this fall will be later than last year
from most sections. Pasture grasses
are soft and cattle are slow in round
ing into condition. From most sec
tions the cattle movement will be
considerably smaller than last year
when serious feed shortage stimu-
lated marketing.

FROST REPORTS TURN
WHEAT PRICES HIGHER

Minneapolis, Aug. 22.--tP,-Tcm-
peratures near the frost mark in
western Canada and further large ex-
port sales turned wheat prices high
or today. An early advance was fol-
lowed by dullncss, however, and the
market held gains of only AM% cent
at the close. Rye scored heavily on
the upside and other markets, except
oats, were firm to strong.
Oats were firm early but eascd
back on hedging, with pit trade quiet.
Marked strength was shown in rye
futures. Barley futures were firm
on good reports Of export sales.
Cash also was strong. September
flaxseed advanced one cent on Argen-
tine strength.
Cash wheat offerings were moder-
ate and demand was spotted. Re-
ceipts included more shrunken and
smutty quality and they met a slow
demand with premium easy. Good
quality springs moved readily and
the basis was firm to strong. Winter
wheat was steady. Durum was firm
for choice and slow and easy for low
protein offerings.
Corn offerings were larger and
buyers were Indifferent. The under
tone was easy.
Oats were in large supply and de-
mand was spotted.
Rye was unchanged to easy.
Barley was one to two cents high
CIR at 68 to so cents.
Flaxseed was in good demand.

Raising of the Hudson Motors d.

There was nothing in the days
news to explain the sudden demand

FIRM AT CLOSE
Frost Reports from Alberta
and Strength at Liverpool
Boost Market

Chicago, Aug. tP)--Frost re-
ports from northern Alberta coupled
with strength in Liverpool based on
unfnvorablc weather conditions
abroad were responsible for firm
undcrtonc in the wheat market here.
Temperature as low as 81 degrees
were noted in the Alberta province.
After commission houses had sup
piled their wants on the buying side,
it did not require any great amount
OF selling to eliminate good part Of
the upturn. Corn was firm on sup
port form a leading comm ission con
Germ.
Wheat closed firm, ut net gain
of u to Is cent, corn advanced 1 to
Ks cents, oats were Il to - cent
lower, and provisions unchanged to
Is cents higher.
Weather conditions in Europe and
on this side Of the Atlaati. were
chiefly responsible for the strength
in wheat here. Liverpool developed a
firm undertonc on reports of persist
cnt unfavorablc weather in the Unit
cd Kingdom and on the continent
which is resulting in a wet harvest
for most of Europe. Many. sections
have reported considerable damage
due to excessive moisture. Some re-
action in Liverpool followed when Of
fcrs Of American wheat were dumped
on the market, but prices held well
on an Improvement in millcrs' de-
Mand.
Advices from western Canada said
that the weather was unfavorable
over the weekend with rain in all
the three provinces and cold temper
aturcs and frost in north Alberta
Cooler weather was also predicted for
tonight. Reports from the Canadian
northwest continue to emphasize the
damage to late fields because of
frost. One report from Moosejaw
Sask., said that for a distance Of 100
miles south Of there to Vanguard
Sask., wheat promises 60 per cent of
last years crop. The feeling gen
orally. however, is that the tOta
damage cannot be ascertaincd until
the crop is harvested and shipping
started.

Rye

Rye
An increase of 20 per cent over the
1927 harvest acreage of rye in North
Dakota is indicated by a" report is
sued from the office Of the agricul-
tural statistician. If these inten-
tions are carried out the acreage
sown for harvest next. year will be
1857, OO0 acres: This compared with
1881 900 acres for harvest this year
and ,222,O acres. harvested in 1925.
Due to late spring and early adj
verse weather conditions from which
the crops have not entirely recovered,
harvesting is later than usual this
year in most sections Of North Da-
kota. This report may be little
early to reflect exactly the intcn-
tions Of the farmers. Several fac
tors, however, favor an increased rye
acreage. Prices to producers this
year have been higher than last sea-
son. There has been heavy reduc-
tion in acreage for several years un-
til last season and the acreage is
cons iderably below the usual. There
Is being harvested this year much
better than average crop. The yield
Of 1927 winter rye will average
around, l6 la. bushel, the best yield
for fifteen years. Only the 1922 crop
which averaged 1871 bushels APP
preached this years yield.
For the United States, farmers in
tcntions to sow winter rye indicate
an increase of. 1919 per cent over this
years harvest acreage. or 4,629, OO0
acres. The 1926 harvested acreage
was 3,5O3, 900 acres and the five year
average (l922-1926) is 4,696. 200
acres.
Winter Wheat
In the United States, intentions ia
plant winter wheat indicate an in
crease of 1877 per cent over the fall
sown acreage last year or a total
acreage on 48,637 900 acres. This
compares with 38.l85,000 acres fol-
harvest this season. For the north
central states there is an indicated
increase of 16 per cent over the fall
sown acreage last year.
Although the acreage intended ia
be sown is 1871 per cent greater than
the area actually s0wn9 last fall, IL
is only about 81 per cent greater
than the acreage actually sown
due largely to adverse fall weather
conditions in the winter wheat belt
The intended acreage this fall is con-
sidcrably larger than the intended
acreage year ago. If the average
annual abandonment should occur
there would be left for harvest A..
