THE COUNTRY's CROP OF CORN.
The Grain Well Matured, and Few Days OF
Warm Weather Will Insure Large Yield.

CINCINNATI, Sept 15-Only slight quantity
OF the earliest corn in this vicinity is beyond
danger from FROST owing to the warm wet
weather OF the past month. There has been. as
yet, no frost A killing frost now, or within the
next ten days, would damage rs per cent. of the
crops in this vicinity. II permitted to mature
the crop will be from 10 to 20 per cent above the
average
LOUISVILLE. Sept. 15.-In consequence of the
continued drought which prevailed in many por-
lions Of the State during August, the average
condition of corn in sixtv-seven counties has re-
coded from los to 81. There has been no frost.

corn. The crop is well advanced, and no fears
are entertained from frost.
DETROIT, Mich, Sept 15-From observations
taken at the Office of the State Board of Agri-
culture, it appears that the weather during
August was colder by four and a half degrees
than during any previous August of which we
have record. Of course, has made very
slow progress toward maturity, and unless the
weather In September is exceptionally favora
ble there is little hope that the crop in all parts
of the State will fully rlpen. There has been no
killing frost in Michigan and it Is not thought
that the crop can be injured by frost at this
season.
SPRINGFIELD H.. Sept 15--The corn crop in
this and surrounding counties Is the best in
IL
frost, and as corn planted in June viii! require
less than two weeks to mature, the out
look Is very good. In the northern part of the
State reports are quite favorable. pointing in
some localities to yield fully 20 per cent. above
the average of former years. The only damage
reported anywhere is from heavy rains. but this
is not sufficient to affect the general result,
which, with few more days of good weather,
will make it all that could be desired
BONNEVILLE Mo-. Sept 15.-The corn crop in
Tic Of thn toto 10 fhvfyf
ton, it not having suffered from frost yet, and
little fears from frost are now entertained
There is small percentage of late corn that
would suffer damage from frost IN the next ten
days or two weeks, but the bulk of the crop is
considered as having never been better, and is
variously estimated at from 40 to CO. and in
some localities, at even 65 and 20 bushels per
acre. 1t is safe to say the average will be close
to so bushels per acre.
COLUMBUS. O., Sept 15-Secretary Chamber
lain. of the State Board of Agriculture, says
that reports from 9Sl township correspondents
in Ohio show that the corn crop is in very fat.
terine condition. The probable area. compared
with 1884 is 108; probable total in bushels,
liz, 1872. 744, against fve-year average of o.
348. 89l. No frosts have been reported, and the
crop is now safe. The yield will be of the finest
quality, and the total may exceed the above es-
innate.

by the State Register, and the State Agricultural
BOARD. from every county In the state, snow the
condition of the corn crop to be fully up to that
