Weather generally has been warm and dry with slight rains in a few! districts in Saskatchewan In Manitoba, wheat cutting has been general with about eighty-five percent completed. Threshing is ex- nected to be general next week. In the Sprague subdivision the average estimated yield per acre for wheat is given as 20 bushels with 40 bu- hels for oats-and- barley. In the Portage subdivision conditions are reported good. The Brandon sub- division reports ideal harvest wea- ther with some little threshing joné but not sufficient to say what yield per acre can be expected. Late ‘rops have ripened too fast and ‘his will probably cause a lighter vield. In the Dauphin subdivision sutting of coarse grains is well un- ler way and wheat and early grains yromise a good yield In the Regina division of Sas- katchewan weather during the early part of the week was hot and dry turning cooler Thursday with light rain. Wheat cutting is general and it is estimated yields will be from eight to fifteen bushels per ucre. In the Melville division wea ther has continued hot and dry “ipening the grain much faster than it should to give first class vield but it is not anticipated da- mage will amount to more than ten percent at any time. | Yield Cut Somewhat In the Saskatoon division the hot, dry, windy weather of the past week will cut the yield to some ex- tent, In the Prince Albert division crop conditions continue good and the general yield should be better than average. Haying operations are completed and there is an ab- undance of feed throughout this | division The Calgary division in Alberta; reports weather generally clear and| cool with high winds. No additional | damage is reported. Showers would be beneficial and tend to incréase the yield, of the later sown grains In Bdmonton division all grains jare progressing rapidly with no damage reported from any source In the Peace River territory wea- ther during the past week has been fine and warm. Crops are ripening fast and cutting should commence in ten days to two weeks’ time Light rain is reported around the ninth. No damage reported from) any point.
