PAGE FIGHT GREAT CORN GROP IS SEEN IN NO. DAKOTA, Flax and Durum Wheat Also Rank High While Rust | Damages Marquis Whea t REPORTS OF CO. AGEN' £0, N. D., Aug. 2.—While wheat | throughout North Dakota has been damaged by black stem rust, flax is in fine condition, durum wheat un- and the state will have one test corn and potato crops ory, according to reports gents to the North Dakota gre its h in of county Extension Division for the period ending last Saturday, In Red River valley counties, the yield of wheat will range from 6 to! 4 bushels, according to the reports, black stem rust and hot weather run- ning neck and neck as damage fac- In the northern and central | the state west of the Valle: drouth has been the prin- age factor, ably seconded by ti cipal di rust, while in the balance of the state, black stem rust has been the most important reducing agent. Wheat prospects were reported food to excellent in western North Dakota until a week ago, but since that time blaek!ruyt has developed very rapidly,;' #fd” prospects there have been reduced from 26 to 50 per- cent by this disease, the agents re- port. Grasshoppers are%also increas- ing in numbers and causing heavy damage in‘some localities. Harvesting is general in nearly every district, with about 90 percent of the rye crop cut at the present time. Due to low market prices, many fields of rye and wheat which might normally pay the bare cost of haf- vesting and threshing are now being plowed under or cut for hay. Har- vesting of wheat will be finished this week in much of the Red river valley district and in the southeastern part of the state. Prospects for feed crops in general are excellent. The corn crop is out- Standing, not a single unfavorable .Teport being received, while many counties are predicting record-break- ing yields. Oats is in slightly better average condition than barley, and both crops promise a fair yield. Flax is in good condition and early plant- ed fields are beginning to turn. Pig- eon grass is causing considerable damage to late fields, however. Rain is badly needed, particularly in the north central part of the state, for flax and potatoes. Indications are that potatoes will make only a fair crop, with severe water damage in several of the heavy-produc’ Red river valley counties, and thin stands and drouth and bug damage in most other localities, Labor shortages are reported in several counties, but apparently the situation is not serious nor state- wide. Harvest wages in most locali- ties are $3 per day day. Individual re- ports from the various county exten- sion agents for the period ending last Saturday follow: Si ‘Harvesting of wheat is general and the crop is poor due to the black stem rust and the hot weather damage. Rye harvest is fin- ished, and the crop is very thin. Corn is in excellent condition, and pota- toes are good, with some fields show- ing thin stands due to the damage from water and disease. Early sown flax is in excellent condition, and is starting to turn. Medium and late sown flax is weedy, containing con- siderable pigeon grass, and several fields have been mowed or plowed. Oats and barley are in good condi- tion’’—Wm, Guy, Fargo. BARNES—“Rye harvest is finished. and cutting of wheat was general during the week. The crop is in fair condition. Corn is making excellent growth, and flax, barley, oats and potatoes and looking good. Some bar. ley has been cut. Alfalfa and sweet clover fields are about ready for the second cutting of hay. There were two general rains during the week.” —T. X. Calnan, Valley City. RICHLAND—“Cutting of all small grains with the exception of flax is genpral inthe county. Rust and hot weather have reduced the wheat yield very materially, with the possible ex- ception of early sown wheat. Indica- tions are that the average yield for the county will not exceed 6 bushels per acre. Consfderable damage has been caused’ito‘pétitoes by heavy rains drowning out fields. In some lo- calities the damage from this source Fanges up to 100 percent, while the average for the county is 25 percent. Otherwise potatoes are in good con- dition, Corn will make the best crop in the county, and oats will also make a good crop.”—R. C. Dynes, Wahpeton. FOSTER—“Wh and oats are badly rusted, and a good many fields of wheat will not pay the cost of cutting. Harvesting of rye is about finished, and some fields of oats and wheat are being cut at present. A fair flax crop is indicated with some fields overcome by pigeon grass. Corn is making excellent growth, and po- tatoes show a good growth of vine, but not much tuber development, Pa: tures are in fair shape, and the sec- ond crop of alfalfa starting to 8t.

Some fields will not cost of harvesting and threshing. Oats and barley will give a fair crop, and the cutting of these grains was gencral during the week. The fields contain a large amount of wild outs, however. Corn continues to make splendid progress, and potatoes will make a fair crop, with many thin stands, Pastures were benefited by recent rains. The second cutting of alfalfa has been made."—D, B, Mor- ris, Grand Forks, | LaMOURE—“Harvesting is gener- al and a few farmers have already threshed rye, securing low yields of poor quality grain, Heavy rains Wed- nesday and Saturday delayed work | and ingured grain. The wheat crop is uneven due to heat, rust, and black chaff damage. Early sown fields of corn are in the roasting ear stage,! and the crop is in excellent condi- tion. Potatoes are doing well, with! good indications of a heavy yield.” —C. H. Pollock, LaMoure. KIDDER—“Black stem rust is dam- aging the wheat crop in several lo- calities, and drouth has also caused damage in a small area. Harvesting of rye is finished and some barley is being cut, also a few fields of flax and a considerable amount of oats The corn crop is in good condition and potatoes are good, with the ex. ception of fields damaged by in- sects."—T. R, Andrus, Steele. / STUTSMAN—“Black stem rust is doing serious damage to late sown marquis wheat, and many fields will not pay the expense of cutting and threshing. Harvesting of rye is fin- ished and most of the barley and some of the early oats are out. Har- vesting of ruby and marquis wheat! is also under way. Rye will make| about half a crop. Flax is in excel- lent condition, and corn and potaote. are good.”—R. S. Goodhue, James- town. WELLS—“Harvesting is general in the county, due to sudden ripening of the grain crop caused by wheat and dry weather. Present indications are that 20 percent of the crop will! not be cut, due to the short straws. Corn and potatoes are making ex- cellent progress, und sweet clover! Pastures are still furnishing an abun- dance of feed.”—E. W. Vancura, Fes- senden. PEMBINA—“Farmers declare the | 1923 wheat crop will be the poorest ever raised in the county, with about a six-bushel average yield indicated for the period. Heat and rust caused severe damage and many fields will not be harvested. Some farmers have even plowed under good stands due to low prices. Harvesting of wheat has commenced, also barley and cats, while cutting of rye is about finish- ed. The first report of threshing in the Neche district showed a yield of fifteen bushels to the acre. Barley is very light but oats will make a good crop, Potatoes are in need of rain. Some fields are excellent and others poor and the general condition is be- low average for this date. The corn crop is in excellent condition and Promises the best yield and biggest crop in history. With favorable wea- ther the crop will be out of danger from frost August 20th. Hot weather prevailed during the week with no rain.”—E, G, Parizek, Cavalier. CAVALIER—“Wheat has been dam- aged to a large extent during the past week by rust, particularly Mar- quis. Durums show little infection at this time. The rye crop is harvested and very light. Oats and barley are in good condition. Corn is making excellent growth and promises a fine crop if there are no early frosts. Po- tatoes are in need of rain and will ive a light crop. Ideal weather has Prevailed for haying and a large amount of native and tame hay is be- ing put up this year.”—W. L, Johns, Langdon. TOWNER—“Cool weather during the week improved crop prospects somewhat, but black rust has caused a large amount of damage to the wheat crop, particularly in the north- ern two-thirds of the county. Harvest- ing of wheat will start early next blossom.”—C, C. Lake, Carrington. RAMSEY—“Harvesting of rye 15 nearly finished. A ‘small amonet of wheat has been cut and cutting of barley and oats is well under way. Considerable damage will be caused to late wheat by rust, which has de- veloped rapidly during the past week.

McHENRY—“Harvesting of rye is about finished and cutting of wheat is well under way. Early oats is rendy to cut. A few fields of rye have been threshed and threshing will be gen- eral in about ten days. Small grain crops are very light due. to drouth and grasshopper damage. Black stem rust will cause heavy damage to late grains, but early wheat will probably escape serious damage. Flax is doing fairly well but is very weedy and is in: need of moisture. Corn is in ex- ceflent condition. Potatoes are doing fairly well although considerable damage has been caused by bugs, and a good soaking rain is needed to ob- tain an average crop. Little disease is apparent in the fields. Moisture is needed for alfalfa.”—M, C. Thomas, Towner. WILLIAMS—“Black rust is spread- ing and will damage late wheat.
