Abundant Rains on Prairies During Past Week Have Aided Crops to Considerable Extent WINNIPEG, July 13: Cool weather, with rainfall varying from heavy showers to prolonged downpours, characterized conditions in the crop growing region during the last week. Crops have made good progress but the moisture in the arid areas came too late to materially benefit early sown grains although the precipitation will in sure more complete lining 01 tney wheat berry. Later sown oats and barley will show considerable improvement and pastures are doing well although there will not be much hay harvested in many districts. Wheat stands are uneven and about 25 of the crop is in head and 75 in shot blade. A few days of warm weather to promote rapid growth would assist in making a more uniform sample, according to the weekly crop report of the C. N R. department of agriculture. I Intermittent heavy downpours in 'Manitoba have given all crops a new lease of life and conditions iare greaUy Improved. Wheat is Ibpqrtlntr nut and ictrao lpnirthpnlne and, although straw and heads will be shorten than, average, kernels should be well Tilled, The hay crop will'be Iftjht anda considerable amount of coarse grains will require to be cut for fodder to tide stockmen over the winter. Grass hoppers are active at several points but the Infestation by these pests is not general. Cutworm damage has been mostly confined to gardens although a few field crops have been touched. The Weyburn, Lampman-, Bien-fait, Avonlea, Gravclbpurg, Central Butte subdivisions have been visited by good showers which helped the crops a great deal. A good crop of feed Is now assured as late sown grains are growing fast and s tooling thickly. Wheat Is, however, disappointing, and the movement of this commodity from Southern Saskatchewan will, this year be at a minimum. Elsewhere in Saskatchewan Along the Rose town, Conquest, Beechy. Elrose, White Bear subdivisions favorable weather conditions have assisted the growth of feed oats, coarse grains and late sown flax. Wheat is headed out and ranges in height from six to 12 Inches.
