Flax is mostly good, Alberta notes springing, and weed growth evident in late sown fields. Overall moisture remains good but more rain and warmth are needed.

World of Wheat Shows Record Yields and Rust Toll
The report notes heavy rainfall promises a big wheat crop in the three Prairie Provinces. It traces past yields reaching 25.9 bushels per acre in 1915, with Alberta peaking at 31.1 bushels in 1915, and rust years like 1916 and 1925 hurting Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Since 1935 rust losses declined due to resistant varieties.
