HALF CROP.

Seems About All To Be Expected From North Dakota. Bismark, N. D„ July 6.—Commissioner of Agriculture Gilbreath has issued the following crop report for the week ending July 6. Reports from 33 counties are distinctly less favorable than a week ago. The prospects for even half a crop of wheat throughout the state appears to be more remote than ever, and only the most favorable conditions from this date to harvest will insure that percentage in the more fortunate counties. Thousands of acres of wheat are being plowed under, mostly in the heavy wheat-producing counties, and are either being seeded to some forage crop or prepared for next season. These conditions apply generally to all small grains, with exception of- flax, which may give a fair yield under favorable conditions.
