This moisture, coupled with cool days, has been ideal for the filling of all heads which are past the flowering stage. Grains continue to show growth in advance of previous years, and from some territories, come reports of lodging as the straw is rank and the cropx will be difficult to handle. Inter- mittent warm weather, however. will materially remedy the lodging | situation. Summer-fallowing is re- pidly nearing completion, an weeds have this year been ke}; under control, according to tt’, weekly crop report of the agricu’ | tural department Canadian Na tional Railways. In Manitoba. daily rains have occurred which, in aadition to sup- pying ample moisture, have de-, creased the activity of grasshop- pers. However during sunshiny weather, the grasshoppers in some districts are in veritable clouds.' Weather has been cool and early grain is filling rapidly. All crops show an evén stand and good color, | and the general outlook continues encouraging Along the Lampman, Avonlea, Gravelbourg, Central Butte, River Hurst, Bengough subdivisions, in Southern Saskatchewan, heavy rains have fallen and for the whole period weather has been cool These conditions have great- ly benefited crops which were suf- fering from arought and winds and will result in the later sown crops being much heavier than ‘the| ‘earlier sown grains. No apprecia- ble damage is reported from in- although, in some localities, poison bait stations are operating. Central and Northetfn Saskat-| chewan also received heavy rains’ and all land is well soaked. Growtr has been rapid and wheat is either all Keaded out or in the shot! blade.
