At Agassiz, BC., the grain crops promise well. The barley harvest is now about over, while the oats were being cut at the time the last advices were received.

Bright Prospects in Manitoba, the North west Territories, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, At the Central Farm, Ottawa, barâ€" vest operations are now being briskly pushed forward. Most of the varieties of barley have been cut and many of them have been safely bhoused, and a number of different sorts of oats are now being daily harvested. The succes sive and frequent rains which have fall« en during the last three weeks have lessened the prospects for heavy crops, which were very good prior to the set» ting in of this unfavorable weather. During the damp period rust has made rapid progress. While some varieties are expected to yield well, the yields of the greater number wil} be materiâ€" ally lessened from this cause. Rust has prevailed to a very considerable extent on all the varieties of wheat, barley and oats, those claiming to be rustâ€" proof suffering about as much as the other sorts. The oats and wheat have suffered more than the barley. Corn has grown wonderfully well during the past three or four weeks and promises a very heavy yield. The same may be said of turnips, mangels and carrots. Potatoes are also making strong growth and are expected to give good results. At Indian Head. NWT.. the crops of barley are said to be in fine condition and on Augsust 1 the ficlds woere @xâ€" pected tobefit to cut in a week.

As the prioeoftlut grain is now eighteen cents per bushe more than it was a year ago a good crop will insure a large return to the farmers. â€" Oats in Manito‘a which were more injured by wind and frosts than the wheat, have not yet fully reâ€" covered, and while the conditions vary much in different parts of the Province the general impression is that the oat crop will be below the average.
