Minnesota and northeastern North
Dakota showed a range of 1O.49o

per cent. Montana spring wheat is
testing somewhat higher, averag-

rust will be light In the Red River
Valley but in the northeastern uart
OF North Dakota outside Of that
valley there has been a moderate
increase of stem rust on late broad
wheats with t. 'rop still a week
from harvest. An area comprising
three or Ioal Counties in the south
central portion of the state will
suffer heavy rust loss but onlv q
trace of rust is present in weste-

Montana, where wheat is in hard
dough stage.
