WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
For the week ending Tuesday, June
goth, 1898,

| BY Willis Moore, Forecast Official, Mil.
Heat has been excessive during the
past week, except within narrow
belt along the Lake Michigan shore,
and rainfall greatly deficient In the
central and north parts of the state its
absence is being severly felt and even
in the extreme southern part it would
be very beneficial. With nothing
more than a sprinkling in the north
half since June first, the temperature
above 50 degrees much of the time,
vegetation is beginning to burn, and
while no material damage has yet
been done it causes some apprehen-
sion in the minds of the farmer.
Rye and winter wheat have headed
out in good shape and will probably
give full yeild.
Corn and potatoes have made rapid
progress under the high temperature;
cultivation is general and the pros
poets excellent unless the present dry
heat should continue too long.
The cutting of clover hay is general
in the south half of the state and
crop heavy
Much of the ground has been made
into tobacco beds but all who have not
planted are now waiting for rain be-
fore setting the plants. Nothing will
be done until then, as the plants re-
recently set have been considerably
scorched by the hot sun.
Cranberries are putting out fruit
stems and are making good growth,
but rain is needed to check the opera
ton of fire bugs in some marshes.
The present indications are for large
yield. Excessive heat has hnrt the
large growth of blue berries in open
places, and has caused rapid ripening
of strawberries and shipments are be-
coming general. The crop is large,
but will probably ripen to rapidly for
the market if rain does not interfere
to prolong the process.

" In the City Of Tents"

UnQer LnlS meaning Jne Cnlcd8O
Record of Wednesday contains an in
teresting description of camp at
the Worlds fair grounds. in which
Mineral Point parties are interested,
and where 1000 worlds fair visitors
are living near 55th street. They
have taken possession of big, white
walled town, and combine the business
of seeing the Fair with the pleasures
of an outing. Besides it is cheaper
than going to hotels.
The inclosed grove lies alongside the
elevated road, but the trees are just as
wild and the paths as sandy as though
it were mile out in the country. 1t
is called the Ten mperance camp, but it
is reality a town, with numbered
streets and promenades. The main
aisle down through the center is called
Sylvan avenue, and each crossWise
thoroughfare is street. These streets
are marked by letters. Each tent has
a number on the front, so that when a
family rents II X street there is no
difficulty in finding the way home.
Tuesday the manager Of Temperance
camp said that about 1000 names on
the register This meant that nearly
all of the 250 tents were occupied.
But the largest crowd has not yet ar
rived. BY July /, it is expected that
1900 people will be living inside the
pine fence. New tents are being put
up each day. Yesterdays register
showed arrivals from New York, Cali
fornia, Massachusetts and several of
the southern states.
The camp has become an abode of
families who wish to practice some
economy while seeing the Fair. They
figure that if they spend less money
for lodging and meals they can put in
more days at the Exposition. The
average stay at the camp is two weeks.
One man said yesterday that the room
rent for each member of his family
was about IS cents day. There were
four Of them and the tent cost them
so a week. They brought their own
bedding along and did not have to
rent any cots or mattresses.
One man who had been in camp a
whole week said that his hotel ex-
pense since he arrived had been $14.
Four of them lived in tent together.
Each day when he went to the Expo
sition he took his lunch with him.
His actual and necessary outlay for
each day had been about $160, divi-
ded as follows:
SoI III tent. %
Car fare. ................... -. @
AuLnIssloh. o0
EdtlnS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS %
He went to the fair only five days.
Therefore he figured that if he had
wanted to do so he could have got
along for about S10.50. But the other
$3.50 he expended for cool drinks and
riotous living along the plaisance.
This man spent less than the ordinary
