Cron Orethun 18 while ie5t report was the crop or the Canadian West has made substantial Progress and Aniie it has not yet made up the time lost in late seeding More Progress in growth has been made than was expected. Of the three provinces. Alberta has enjoyed the Best conditions and Manitoba the poorest throughout the 20 Days but the state or the crops in All the provinces is such that Given at All suitable weather from now until the Middle of september a Large crop is pretty Well assured but it will take All of that time to fully insure the maturity As a whole. An outstanding feature of the reports from All the provinces is the general satisfactory condition of coarse grains though All admit that they Are late at Many Points very late. Nevertheless the Progress made has been remarkable. The whole crop of All Grain due to the great amount of moisture. Is Lush and somewhat soft which is creating apprehension since the appearance of Black Stem rust at some Points i Anih Dakota and some Taus bodies have sent void to the Chicago papers that Black str i rust is developing in the Canadian West. This is quite the rust Labora torn at Winnipeg has its men in the Field and the situation s carefully watched and while there is some Leaf rust reported from a number of Points and no doubt will be More up to the present Stem rust has not developed and Given Bright Sun and Light winds with Cool i fights from now on break hot the Hectl for bearing any serious out so Little indication was there of rust that the question was not even asked correspondents but As they Are always asked to add anything special to their reports that has not been covered in the questionnaire it is worthy of note that Only one and that in Alberta. Mentions rust. The statement was that if they did. Not get More Sun and wind Ahe crop heavy that rust might develop. Root rust was not included in the questionnaire but three Points mentioned its presence though not existing to any great degree. This questions asked what.

It any grown general conditions of crop at time of wiring out of 359 Points queried 332 were heard from a few coming in too late to be tabulated and these together with an additional report on a late Hall storm will be found on the commercial Market Page. Replies by provinces indicate the following Manitoba out of 93. Points queried 86 heard from. wheat runs from 8 to 30 inches and would appear to average about 20 inches. Percentage in shot Blade runs from 5 per cent. To. 100 per cent and. The average would be around 70 per cent Many Points reporting in addition that a Small percentage of the Heads Are out of the shot. Manitoba Lias suffered in the matter of rain in Points reporting too much and generally adding that the excess moisture has led to some scalding of wheat More particularly. Only two Points in Manitoba report even slight Hail damage. Weeds Are reported As very bad at 22 Points and there is practically no damage from Worms. In spite of the drawback Saskatchewan the height of wheat runs from 7 to 24 inches and the average seems to be about 18, or possibly a Little higher. Only two Points report no wheat in shot Blade. Others run from 5 per cent to 100 per cent., with the average from 65 to 70 per cent. Moisture is abundant with Only three Points claim ing to have too much and one Point declaring need of rain. There is slight Hail damage report at 14 Points one Point reports 20 per cent damage and one bad damage. Weeds Are pretty bad As 29 Points report some crops crowded out or partially but some add that the wheat is now getting ahead of the weeds. Slight and apparently very slight worm damage is reported from 38 Points. There is a marked increase in the number of Points reporting Sweet Clover in Good condition. Coarse very generally reported in Good condition though late but fall Rye is generally emphasized As a line crop and Well beaded out at Many Points. Of 1-70 155 were heard from. Alberta in Alberta 89 Points out of 96 were heard from and the height of wheat runs from 6 to 24 inches with a possible average of 18. Percentages in shot Blade run. From 5 to 100 per cent with 65 to 70 predominating. Only one Point has had too much rain but Rains have been very general Over the entire province. Five Points report slight Hall damage and one Point reports acres destroyed. Slight worm damage comes from 21 Points. General conditions Are As optimistic As usual when Alberta has rain and with reason. The reports when studied Are encouraging All that is hot Sun Cool nights and Light breezes to keep the crop give it Stiller Straw.
