Costs Announced HARVEST IS NEAR OVER Rain Has Hampered Arctivities Somewhat During Past Week WINNIPEG-. Sept. 8.-Llght rains during the past week have delayed harvesting operations, but were not sufficient to more than temporarily postpone activities. Samples of grain are reaching elevators over practically the whole of the grain growing area and, so far the majority of deliveries have graded No. 1 or No. 2. In territories where thresh ing has been In progress for the past ten days, farmer are commencing fall plowing and indications are that more fall plowing will lbcmpllsj)ed,gilvear.tlm - IotJRf,iKloo, Bit-DcrnffXiiAngHs many years previously, according to the weekly crop report of the Department of Agriculture, Canadian National Railways. In southern Manitoba grain is practically all cut. and threshing Is In full swing in some districts. If favorable weather obtains, an- other week should see the wind-up of threshing. Deliveries of grain to elevators are somewhat slow, but the sample is of good quality, although there is a considerable amount of dockage on account of wild oats and other weeds. In the Swan River valley local rains have delayed activities, and threshing Is just nicely begun. PracUcally no coarse grains have been threshed, and prospects for outruns are better than previously expected. Along the Lewvan. Lampman, Avonlea, Oravelbourg, Central Butte and Rlverhurst subdivisions In Saskatchewan, about 75 per cent of cutting has been completed, and most of it is being used for feed, but fields that have been threshed have yielded from 4 to 15 bushels per acre, with the majority nearer four than fifteen. Late sown barley and bats are coming along well, and if no early frost occurs will give a fair ylld. Very little grain wUl be marked from these divisions. From the territory centering on Rosetown come reports of scattered showers, but cutting was not hampered and threshing is just commencing. Some damage Is reported from Bawdy, and a few fields of wheat show signs of rust infection, but this should not materially reduce the grade. Showery weather over the entire Prince Albert division has delayed harvesting Cutting of wheat is completed, but coarse grain harvest has Just begun. Cut runs of wheat indicate yields will be easily up to previous expectations. In Alberta, southern Alberta reports harvesUng progressing favorably, with continued good weather, and cutting is practically finished. Grain is of good quality, but the' yield Is generally light and a considerable acreage Is being cut for feed only. j Central Alberta reports about 60 j per cent of wheat cut and thresh- j lng should commence early next week. Prospects are still good. j In Peace River, harvesting Is practically finished, and threshing has started. There is no damage from frost and samples already delivered have graded high.
