| HEAT OUTLOOK ABOVE AVERAGE _INTHIS STATE Prospects Are For 85 Per Cent Yield as Against 73 Per ' Cent July 1, 1917 ?DROUTH HAS HURT MUCH But for June Dry ‘Spell Yield Would Have Broken All Records, Says Expert o—— 1 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE | Bureau of Crop Estimates | ‘A. J, Surratt, North Dakota Fietd | Agent | % | Grand Forks, N. D., July 10.—Ac- cording to the government crop report issued today by the U. S. Bureau of Crop estimates, the North Dakota crop outlook on July 1, was about average with the exception of rye, hay and pastures which ,were noticeably poorer. Flax and potato acreage shows little change.from a year ago, but corn acreage is heavily decreased, BISMARCK: DAILY TRIBUNB: Here is an American Red Cross ambulance in Italy, taking wounded Italian soldiers to a base hospital. This is only one of the many Red Cross ambulances helping our Latin ally to take care of its wounded. : amount of millet has been sown over. the state and while not very promis- ing at present late rains would pro- vide considerable feed from this source. Garden outlook fair up to the close of the month but will soon be showing a daily decline unless re- lieved by good rains. © Drought Hurt. Owing to prolonged June drought the excellent June t crop outlook’ has suffered a severe setback especially in the western third of the state. June rainfall was unusually tight and un- even ranging in the general way from nearly three-quarters of normal in eastern counties to as low. or lower than a quarter of normal in several western counties. Earlier favorable climatic conditions devel- oped too heavy a top growth of grains to be supported by the small amount of subsoil moisture over most of the state during the latter part of June. Crops began going back daily. Dam- age was most severe in western sec- tions, especially’ northwestern coun- ties where grain fields show scattered spots that are already fired. Prospects exceptionally: favorable as a rule in southeastern part of state, but owing to the uneven rainfall crop conditions over the’ entire state are beginning to show a more oy*less spotted appear- ance. Generally speaking the outlook tapers off from nearly normal in the eastern counties to less than half a crop in western counties. Outlook be- comes rapidly poorer as one passes into the western third of the state. The above conditions are especially true of wheat, oats and barley. State barley conditions somewhat better than wheat or oats as the acreage is proportionally heavier in the eastern or more favorable part ‘of the state. ye. Rye outlook similar to other crops is better in eastern than in western counties. . Condition, is. very. spotted and shows a marked.reduction from the very moderate prospect of last month due to drought. The long dry spell caused poor, pollination as numerous heads are either, poorly filled or not at all. Numerous plants apparently died during the flowering stage for lack of subsoil moisture, es- pecially where the soil was very hard or on higher parts of fields. Bulk of damage reports range from 5 to 25 per cent. This erop seems to have been a continuous victim of hard luck since it was sown last fall. Unless early July raing improve the rye plant's vitality North Dakota rye pro- duction will Show a further heavy curtailment. Flax. Flax acreage. about the same as a year ago. The flax belt usually lo- cated in the central and western sec- tions especially, the. southwestern quarter of the state shows from 5 to 20 per cent decrease with few excep- tions. This loss is just about offset by the unusual. increase in the eastern half of the state. Winter loss to numerous tame pasture.and hay fields was so severe that a number. of these fields were plowed down and sown to flax in this area, A small amount of the plowed down rye acreage was also sown to flax. Several communities in the eastern part of the state, most noticeable in the northeastern coun- ties, have at least doubled their flax acreage of a year ago or slightly more. Flax condition is above average for the state as a whole. Especially fa- vorable in the eastern half of the state where numerous fields are in bloom. About 20 per cent\of the state acre- age located in the western sections especially the southwestern is very spotted as it was sown too late to ger- minate evenly and is noticeably be- low average. Potatoes. Potato acreage shows little change from last season, Majority of heavier commerical producers in the Grand Forks and Fargo districts have de- creased their acreage due to the Jabor situation and increased their wheat acreage. This decrease, however, is offset by the increase in potato acre- age in the remainder of the. state. Potato condition for the state is above average but similar to other crops is inclined to be below average in west- ern sections due to dry weather. Corn. Corn acreage shows from 15 to 25 per cent, decrease quite generally in the state. “Labor~ situation, unfavor- ably cool planting season, lack of and high ‘price’ of good North Dakota gfown seed and unsatisfactory corn crops the past few seasons are of the chier causes of this, decrease.

CORN WEAKNESS TEMPORARY ‘Chicago, July 0.—Bearish aspects of the government wheat crop report brought about only temporary weak- ness in the corn market today. On the decline, buying in which one of the largest houses was conspicuous led to sharp rally. Offerings speedily dried up. Opening prices, which ranged from 5-8 cents off to 1-8 cents advance with August 154 7-8 to 155 1-8 and September 155 3-8 to 12 were followed by a general upturn to well above yesterday’s finish. Oats swayed with corn. Trade was light. After opening half cent down to 18 cents up with August 70, 7-8 to 71 the market scored a moderate gain all around. Lack of support caused provisions to sag.
