Judith Basin: Lry weather still continues here., but in spite of the dryness, it appearsthat the spring wheat on the rotations will make a fair yield. The corn isabout four feet high, and ices not appear to be suffering from the drought. Thespring wheat, which was planted where the winter wheat had killed out on thecontinuous cropping series, was cut for hay on the 15th, and the flax was bar-. 4- Judith Basin (continued) vested on the same date. The latter was too short to cut with a binder, so amover with a buncher attachment was used. Ornamental trees, especially the eanadian Poplars, are beginning to show the effects of the dry weather, andmany of the leaves are turning yellow. Maximum temperature for week 88^ min-imum 47, precipitation, none, evaporation Lawt on: The weather has been quite favorable for the growth of he sorghum and cottoncrops during the past we~k. The temperatures have been quite aggreeable andthe wind velocity has been lew. The latter part of the week was sultry andpartly cloud;- resulting in .60 of rain on the,17th, .85 on the 18th. Traceon tne 19th and ,57 on the 2Gth. A rather heavy wind accompanied the firstrain and lodged the mile and some of the sorghums in the cooperative experi-ments badly. Most of the sorghums in the them has straightened up pretty well,but tne milo will probably remain mostly on the ground.
