General Condition of Crops and Season — The early part of the season 

 was very favorable and the ground was in excellent condition. It was 

 hot and dry in Page county during June, July and August, with a few 

 local showers. However, the crop is a surprise to all, both as to quality 

 and quantity. 



Com — About two-thirds of an average crop. 



Oats — Extra fine quality; unusually large yield and the straw is about 

 as good as hay. 



Wheat — Excellent quality and average yield.
