WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For the Week Ending Tuesday, June
21St, 1892.

For the Week Ending Tuesday, June
21st, 1892.
Cold cloudy weather and heavy rains
have been the rule during the past
week, while warm sunshiny weather
is what everything seems to demand
for its betterment. The rainfall has
been about one inch above the normal,
and the temperature has averaged
about two degrees below each day.
The excessive rains of the past few
days have done great damage to grain
in the southern part of the state by
washing, and beating down the rank
growth of hay, in the northern part of
the state the damage is not as great,
but it is still considerable.
If the remainder of the season be
favorable it is thought by some that
the heavy growth of everything on
high ground will more than make up
for the great damage that has been
done to other fields.
Corn and potatoes are growing well, :,
but the acreage is doubtless below the
average, and no more will be planted
this year. The shortage is due to the
fact that many fields bordering on
rivers or creeks, or lying in depressions,
have not received sufficient sunlight
to dry out i'll the intervals between
heavy rain storms. 1t is the intention
to put most of this unused ground into
millet or corn fodder during the next
few days. So far no cultivation has
been possible, to speak Of, and while
the two crops are growing strong the
weeds are keeping pace, and cult
vation is greatly needed. Some rot
ting of potatoes i reported.
Hay is rank and nearly ready to cut;
in some cases it has lodged. The
meadows are too soft to run a mower,
but few days of dry weather would
remedy that In Dodge county the
Rock River has overdowed and des-
troyed great quantities of hay;
pastures have also been ruined along
the river, and the farmers are letting
their cows to others back on high
ground who feed them for their milk.
In many cases where pastures are
heavy the grass is sour or so watery
that it contains little substance.
Marsh hay has been pretty thoroughly
drowned out.
Winter wheat and barley are headed
out, and promise fairly well, especially
barley.
Oats are generally reported in good
shape, but with the straw heavy, and
much fear is expressed that they will
odge badly before harvest.
Fruits certainly have not improved
during the past week; some blight is
reported, although the general tenor of
opinion is that the yield will be fair at
least.
Tobacco is only about one half plant
ed; the ground is too wet to work;
plants that are set are small. There
is plenty of time yet for tobacco if
warmer and dryer weather come soon.
The nip of poisonous snake is but
slight remove from being more dan
gerous than the poison of Scrofula in
the blood. Ayers sarsaparilla purifes
the vital fluid, expels all poisonous sub
stances, and supplies the elements of
life, health, and strength.

TO INVESTIGATE THE ERoKEy BANKS.

Washington Feb. 0.-Mr. McSlillln, OF Tennessee.
from the House Committee Rules. reported back the
Mutchler resolution directing tire Committee on Banking
and Currency to make inquiry 70 the failure OF
the Keystone and Spring Gnrden banks of Philadelphia.
Mr. ONeill Of Massachusetts, offered an amend
ment extending the inquiry 50 as to include the failure
Of the Maverick National Bank, Of Boston Agreed 10.
Mr. Mutohler. OF Pennsylvania thought that Congress
owed 10 TO the people to make an Investigation into
the manner in which the affairs Of National banks
conducted and If 1t found that the power Of tn.
Government was not sufficient, tho National banking
laws should be amended.
Mr.. ONeill Of Pennsylvania, favored the resolution.
