THE Michigan Weather Service Blu
reau report says: The last week has
been a good one for crops. In the
northern counties sufficient rain has
fallen to keep the crops in good condi-
ton and put the ground in fine shape
for fall sowing, which is being rapidly
pushed. Corn, wheat and oats are a
fair crop and potatoes are doing we'll.
The drought has not been broken in the
southern counties and tho days have
been too warm and the nights too cold
for the proper development OF small
grains. Pastures are drying up and
some farmers are foddering their stock.
Plums, peaches, and other fruits are
plentiful this year and about ready for
market. Frost occurred on the nights
OF the first two days Of this month, but
nothing injured except some corn on
low lands and little buckwheet in one
county. The nudge is doing damage TO
clover in some sections.
