Rains up to the 18th have broken the drought in the area extending from northern Missouri to the Gulf, according to late reports of the United States ‘Weather Bureau. Reporters estimate that of the por- tion of the corn crop in North Da- kota which withstood the drought of duly and August, 70 per cent will Teach maturity by October first and approximately 26 per cent will never mature. The amount of corn to be put into silos a 20 to 30 per cent in- crease as compared with last year. An early harvest and threshing season has enabled farmers of the state to complete a much larger per- centage of their fall plowing than last year in spite of the dry condition of the soil. A small portion of late flax remains to be harvested and about 30 per cent is still unthreshed, according to re- ports. A small percentage of other grain crops still remains unthreshed where rains caused delays. Food sup- Plies are reported to be about 18 per cent below a normal supply, but are somewhat better than in 1929, The composite yield of all crops in North Dakota as indicated by the September first condition, is reported by the Department of Agriculture to be 84.4 per cent of the ‘ten-year yield for all crops. This is an increase of 43 per cent above the August/ fi composite yield. N. P.
