Ending Monday, June 10, 1892.
The week just ended may we'll be said
to have been the best for all farming in
terests since the season opened. The
temperature was slightly above the
average. This condition, combined with
nearly average sunshine and copioue
showers, have caused a rapid and healthy
growth of all vegetation. The precipi-
tation averaged .26 of an inch, or about
30 per cent. above the normal. It was
above in all parts Of the state excepting
in the southeast section. The excessive
rain OF the 18th did no damage, except
slight to wheat and oats where sown on
low lands. A very heavy hail storm &C.
CURED IN the 10th, but was only of
slight damage to wheat at Tappen, Kid
der county. The correspondent at
Thompson, Grand Forks county, reports
slight injury to oats by high winds.
