Faribault Republican,, July H.: A very
heavy rain storm, accompanied by high wind,
visited this section Sunday afternoon, and
must have added greatly to the damage al
ready sustained by the growing crops. ThB
Weather during tie past week, It wodld Seem,
has Been tert anfavorabie for the wheat
crop, being excessively hot and damp. Re-
ports are conflicting, but all agree that con-
siderable damage has been done by storms,
rust and heat. Heavy grain is badly lodged
which will prevent it's filing we'll: The Corn
crop is making very rapid gr6wth, and is
coming out In tassel: Potatoes in some
placss on Glayey soils are beginning to rot
and much trouble is experienced with the
bugs.
