In spring wheat North Dakota developed uncertain prospects from the lack of sufficient rainfall in the spring, and a few days of high temperatures ' in the month of June, and the damage in the western and central part of that state and in South r-d esrtward from Ohio. The rest of the corn belt has had little or no rain of importance this summer. The great rival of corn in weight and value is that of hay, and to a large extent it can tuke the place of corn when there is a shortage of that grain.
