THE CltOP IN SASIaTCHEWAN
Conditions are Very Poor in Some
Places—Generally Exeellent.
A despatch from Regina, Sask.,
says: The crop.report of the Sas-
katchewan Department of Agricul-
•ture, ,based on replies received by
telegraeb td inquiries 490s to •the
conditions on July 11, states that
conditions at the moment justify
the statement that seldom has the
• orop within one Province shown
j,:such excellence on the one hand
'Act such poor conditions on the
other. Fortunately the area of the
crop in which conditions are excel-
lerrt greatly exceeds that in vrhieb
• they are Poor. The outlook at the
monient is for seventy-five per cent.
of an average crop.
Conditions have been iraprovpd
recently by a fairly general rain on
July 11 and a considerable number
of local showers. Seldom bave the
crops been called upon to withstand
a long period of intense and con-
tinuous heat with few and local
rains as have roost of the crops in
the -western and central parts of
the Province during the period
from June 30 to July 14. Without
the -slightest doubt -the summer fel-
' low that has been early and deeply
plowed and has also received suf-
ficient subsequent cultivation, has
justified itself once more, and will
• prove to be the sheet -anchor of
those fanners in the drier distriets
that had prepared one. In many
of the newer districts, of course,
settlement is' almost too new for
this form of preparation to be as
general as it must ibecome if agri-
culture is to be successfully and
permanently practised in those dis-
tricts.
