Prompted every one to investigate their own crops and there Hiipfl been .1 pretty close inspection of the District. It la Only in a few Odd place where late sown Grain has grown extra heavy that any damage from nist has been noticed. The wheat uniformly Good the Heads Well tilled and ripening fast. Cutting is in Progress in some quarters but in other parts will not be started until next week. There la a wide divergence in the estimated yield. Many Farmers count on an avenge of 25 per acre but it is doubt Ful if this High Ligure will be maintained is most of the old and Light land will not produce 20. Fox Warren wheat late. Considered we have a wonderful crop which says much for the Fertility of the District. Some wheat is Cut on earlier lands but the crop on heavy might stand a few Days yet with Benefit.

The wheat had been dry in this part and when n mindful of Grain wag pulled and roots exam ined there was no apparent moisture at the roots. The late wheat or that which put in somewhat later on Spring blowing looks to be turning color ii Little also but Tho late hot spell and no apparent moisture it the roots May have been the cause As when closely examined. It is not Well filled yet. This late Grain will now do Well for the next week or ton Days. If left standing but Early own wheat on fall blowing or summer fallow of Well filled and healthy looking. No rust in this District Worth speaking of. Thera is not the bulk of Straw that we had for the last three years but when the Small rainfall for the season is average yield estimated at Over Twenty bushels an Aero. In pal City. Mnn., aug. Crops in this District Are in the Verj Best condition and there is no sign of rust anywhere in the locality. The prospects for a Good crop Are better than Ever before. The average yield will probably be 22 bushels or better to the acre. Cutting 1ms not yet commenced but several of our farm ers expect to Belln this week and Iveth favourable it will be Gen eral by next week in the District to the North and West of the town. The crops in the District to the South and East Are in first class shape also but Are Bont n week inter and cutting probably not commence there till next week. Cutting at Birtle. 2500 harvesters arrive of 4 of of l wheat Harvest in Well advanced and the yield High. Bartle Man. Aug. The lighter land wheat cutting was in full blast a week ago several Farmers haying Cut Over half their crop. Others have Cut Between sixty and one Hundred acres and will finish by wednesday or thursday. Tho Dull weather it the end of the week places the cutting on heavier soil a few Days later but by wednesday or thursday All will be in full Force. A great Many St rated this morning. So far there has been no damage to the crop either by Hall or Frost and no rust whatever. The Sam ple is Good and the yield will be fully up to the average crop. The lighter lands will yield from 1c to 20 bushels to the acre and the heavier from 20 to 24. Though some of it by appear Ance will greatly surpass that Mark. If the weather keeps favourable this week will see n great Deal of the wheat in this District in the Stook. Of of the first of the harvesters who Are to assist in the work of garnering this year s crop Arlo Cal from Ontario lost evening about ten o clock. They were a Fine of Young Fellows and to spite of the Long journey were in excellent spa Rita. The train carried about 700 passengers in All a fair proportion of whom were women who Are coming West either to visit friends or to help in the commissariat department of the work. The second special arrived shortly after eleven bringing about 800, and the third Section of the excursion pulled in about four hours later with about an equal number. V in spite of the of the hour the arrivals received a Hearty reception As there were fully 2.000 Wynn speggers on the pint form attracted there either through curiosity or by a desire to meet friends expected up from the East. Each train in ruled n Large amount of baggage there being from two to four baggage cars on each. No Effort was made to distribute the arrivals last evening is there were no facilities for so doing. As the Manitoba crops Ana the farthest and Vinced. The majority of them will undoubtedly re main in the province and will go to their various destinations by the Branch line trains to Day. If there Are a sult Clint number going on through a special train will be made up for their Benefit. Excellent arrangements. On the platform at the old depot several ticket wickets and in formation Booths have been rigged up and the arrangements for handling the crowd is on a much larger scale than Ever Benoro. At these Booths information with regard to the in which the men Are is on file and nil requests Forup will be filled. Many of those who came inst night have been in the weat before and arc going Back with Farmers who have employed them previously. Home too have secured work by mall through Mutual friends. There is some hesitancy on the part of the Farmers in sending in applications for farm hands till it is definitely Learned is to the amount of damage from the reported spend of rust which May injure the yield and Force a glut of men on the labor Market. If this develops the Supply will probably easily fill the demand. The next party will arrive on thursday. Tho second party. Toronto aug. Second harvesters excursion will leave tuesday morning from the Union station and it is expected it will be larger than Ahjit of saturday last. Local officials have received notice from oust de agents of having already sold Between and 2.soo tickets.

Particular attention wan called to damage from rust. These reports Are on the whole very reassuring. Of the 71 stations heard from 40 report no damage at All 16 report slight damage and 15 report damage from 10 to 50 per cent. The districts most appear to be the souls Branch and the Western half of the deloralne.1 Branch. Taken As a whole these reports indicate average damage of under to per cent.
