Our Manitoba Correspondent
Tells of Prevailing Conditions
• Written. for The News -Record.
There are a great many reports
concerning Manitoba's harvest and SO
1 write you to say that the harvest
is not so good as it has been for nine
yeavs. The reasons for this are two.
Last winter was very mild. The, win-
ter was short and before the' first -of
ItIarch all snow had. disappeared* and
the ground had lost an true of frOst,
This was a serious draw -back for one
of the things on which we depend for
moisture is thc. frost corning out tor
.month or more after the- crop is
sowed. Then there is another reason
why the crop. is not tea good this. yeae.
and that is ; For the last three years
our rainfall in June has been insufli-
tient and this year very little fell
and the -Jesuit is apparent. Neverthe-
less the drops are on an average fairly
good. There are some districts where
practically there is a vomplete
while in others, only separated
by a few miles or even loss . than that
where tide crop is excellent.
.To illustrate what I Mean here is
a quotation from one of our • daily
papers :

veMing hoe been •earried on &ince the

-but where we remember that it is 10
years since we had a poor crop before
and then we averaged 9 bushels - per
acre, nun that ea far OS. an estimate
this year can be made it will be bet-
