WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

BULLETIN No. 20.
Milwaukee, Aug. 23rd, 1892.
The past week has been favorable
one for harvest, nearly all grain is in
the stack and threshing will soon be
general; in fact some machines have
already started.
Considerable shrinkage is reported in
the wheat berry, and those who have
threshed estimate about Is bushels to
the acre.
Corn, potatoes and tobacco have been
greatly in need of rain. Last night
rain fell in the southern half of the
state, and the prospects now are that
light showers will be frequent throughout
the state to-day and Wednesday, which
will be very gratefully received. Corn
has steadily advanced, and while a
large yield is not looked for it is prob
able that with four weeks more of
favorable weather and no severe frosts
a modera tely fair crop will mature.
Tobacco continues to do we'll, but more
rain would have been beneficial. Cut
ting will be general in a few days.
Berries are plentiful in Washburn
and Barron Counties.
Buckwheat is generally reported in
good condition.
Oats suffered considerably from lodg-
ing several weeks ago; still the average
yield will doubtless be large.

At the Princess Opera House last
night, the LeBrandt Comedy Co. pre-
sented the laughable farce, as Marriage
Failure?" Joseph LeBrandt made an
excellent baldheaded lawyer, who
married for money and got woefully
cheated. William III. Woodside played
the part of Tommy Littlechubb salts
factorily. Mrs Joseph LeBrandt made
an excellent Ruth Temperton, and Mrs.
J. A. Peake was genuine Surepty
Podsnap. Anna Bruce as Tippins and
Ernest Pope as Paul HARDWOOD did their
parts well, but little Irene as Dot made
the real hit of the evening. Her clear
voice was perfectly distinct in all parts
of the room, and her simplicity and
sweetness were irresistible Her dane
ing also was very pretty, and brought
down the house at every new example.
Altogether, the entertainment was a
very successful and enjoyable one. 1t
was greeted by large audience.-Chi-
cago Times, March II, 1892.
