A despatch from Regina, Sask., says : Thecrop report of the Sas- l2atehewan Department of Agricul- ture, based on replies received by telegraphto inquiries as to the conditions on July 11, states that conditions at the ,moment justify the statement that 'seldom has the cror within one Province shown such excellence on the one ,hand and such ;poor 'conditions on the other. Fortunately the area .of the crop in which conditions are excel- lent greatly exceeds that in which they are poor. The outlook at the moment is for seventy-five per cent, of an average •crop. Conditions have been improved recently by a fairly general rain on July 11 and'a considerable number of local showers. Seldom have the crops been called upon to withstand a long period of intense and con- tinuous heat with few and local rains as have most of the crops in the western and central, parts of the Province during the period fr•oir. June SO • to July 14. Without. the .slightest doubt the summer fal- 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 farmers in the drier districts that had prepared one. In many of the newer districts, of anuria, settlement is almost 'too new for this form of preparation to be as general as it must become if agri- culture is to be successfully., and permanently practised in those dis- tricts, MILLION LO GS SWEPT AWA' ..
