ILLINOIS AND IOWA CROPS
The Report of the Condition of the Grow
ing Grains.

According to the Illinois weather
bureau the temperature in the north
and center the past week was above
normal. In the south one to three
| degrees below. The sunshine was in
excess of the seasonable amount, eX-
cept in few extreme southern cOun-
| ties, and there has been an entire alb
sence of rain, resulting in injury to
the growing crops. \ general rain
is needed. Wheat harvesting is
progressing in the center and south.
The yield and quality is generally a
great disappointment. In some sec
tions of the south the yield was fair
and quality good. Corn on light soil
is injured by the continued drought;
many fields are badly fired. and it is
feared the crop will be cut short.
On good soil, however. it is generally
in good condition, though needing
rain. Chinch bugs are damaging the
corn in some localities. HAY har-
vesting is about completed. Light
in many places. but ali immense crop
in some sections. Rye cutting is
about finished. Pastures are burn
ing up for lack of rain. Blackberries
are drying NJ. Apples and peaches
are dropping from the trees. Some
complaints OF dry rot in potatoes and
| tomatoes are made. Oats harvest
ing is progressing in the north. but
owing to the rust the yield will be
less than ant cipated. Several cor
respondents report oats cut green on
account OF the army worms.
| In Iowa.
! The Iowa bulletin SAYS: The
past week was hot with almost I'M
interrupted sun shine, but the nights
were relatively cool, reducing the
leverage temperature degrees be-
low normal. The rain fall was very
light. A larger part of the state re-
ceiving none since the 18th. The
weather was all that could be desired
for hay-making and a large amount
was secured in an excellent condi-
| ton. The work is practically COM
pleted.
The oats harvest is in progress in
the north and center, and is about
finished in the south. Reports tell
of extensive damage by rust in the
south and center and scattered local
tiles in the north. While the acreage
is large, the crop will likely fall 20
to 80 per cent below the average.
Spring wheat is also affected by the
rust. Corn is making stalwart
growth everywhere and is very prom
Using. 1t needs rain, however, and all
immature crops are beginning to
show the effects of drought"

DEATH OF MRS HARRIET HULL.

Mrs Harriet Hull, widow of J. l.. Hull, and mother of Treasurer w. H. Hull, died at the house of her daughter, Mrs Edsoa Burr in New Jersey on Friday of last week, aged 72 years. Her remains were brought to Bedding on Saturday and the funeral services took place at the Methodist church on Monday at 12,30 D. m. Her pastor, Rev E. l.. Bray, officiated. The interment was in the Reid cemetery at the Center by the side of her husband, who died about 40 years ago. She leaves two children to survive her. A son, William II. Hull, and daughter, Josephine, the wife of Dr Ed son Burr of the New Jersey conference. She was the daughter of David Duncomb and was almost the lest of large family of children, her brother, William E. Dun- comb being now the only one left. Though in feeble health for the past few years her death was unexpected and caused shock to the community. She will be greatly missed in the church of which she was working member and which can i'll afford to lose her in its present depressed condition. Living goJly life she has left behind the legacy of good example and her works do fol- low.
