in some interesting reports of
Grain crop conditions in regions he
has visited within the past week or

evident that small grains have suf-
fered from the dry hot weather
this year, though in some places
the yields and quality are good.
He was in Phillips county Aug
Ust IS, alnog the Milk river and
wrote to the office that the grain
was about half cut and would av-
erape about eight bushes to the
acre. From Dodson to Turner
from a fourth to a half cut, and
from Turner to Caldwell less than
quarter.
The combines were just starting
and only a few fields were dry
enough to cut The wheat was ex-
pected to so from 10 to 20 bushels
per acre. Some summer fallow
would run from Is to 20 bushels
but most Of it was number two

burnt stubble groudn produced
number one wheat, but would &c
only five to II bushels.

for the cmobire. Corn was burn
