Crops In. the :korai. West.
Manitoba :incl North West fanners
are elated over the present bright pros•
peets for a bountiful harvest. It is
estitntited that the acreage under crop
in the North West this year is 1,250,000
acres, the smtjor part of which is under
wheat, Seeding was completed earlier
than usual, and the l•eeeilt Warm rains
bare caused a rai: vegetation, and
should the present encouraging pros-
pects continue till the grain has ripocied
this year's harvest will be the most
prosperous in the history of the North
West. Frost and severe drought lest
year diminished the yield in many
districts, but present indications are
that the country will not be visited this
year with these drawbacks Since re-
ceiving the above report we received
another of a more unfavorable nature,
which was received just before going
to press, that the crops in the neighbor-
hood of tnowflake have been badly
cut by heavy frosts last week; but
whether it extends over the entire pro-
vince we have not as yet heard.
