showers have fallen in different por-

but in some places the drouth has been
rather protracted and corn has. suffered
in those dry spots. IF good showers
fall within the next few days, however,
heavy crops of corn wiil"yet be made.
With few exceptions, the cotton crop
is in fine condition, growing rapidly,
and promises to be the best for several
years past. The rice is reported good
where sufficient water was stopped for
irrigating the crop.

THE experiment of damm1ng the
headwaters of the Mississippi at ad-
vantageous points in order to accu-
mulate a store of water sufficient to
keep the lower river at a navigabe
stage during the summer months IS
a demonstrated success. Three dams,
commenced in 1882, were completed
for use, this year, with storage ca
pacity in the natural lake reservoirs,
for holding the surplus water of 75,-
OOO,OOO.OOO cubic feet. The basin
drained into these reservoirs covers
an area of over 5000 square miles.
When the water below St. Paul fell
so as to interrupt navigation in the
beginning of August, the supply in the
reservoirs was drawn upon and the
river kept at navigable stage,
After the reservoir system is completed
it will have the double value of check
ing to some extent the disastrous
floods in the upper river when there is
too much water and Of eking out the
supply when there is too little.
