At

there
is
sufficient
moisture
in
Manitoba

Eastern

elsewhere
a
good

would
be
highly
beneficial.
Dust

have
been
reported
from

Saskatchewan
and
East-Central
Alberta.
The
weather
so
far
has
aided
the
fight
against
grasshoppers
and
this,
coupled
with
a
vigorous
poisoning
campaign,
has
kept
damage
low.
Scattered
reports
of

damage
have
been
received.
In
