CAsS COUNTY.
The general features of the weather for
the past week were high winds and low
temperature. Rain much needed for
pastures and fall blowing, as the ground
is getting very hard. About one-half of
the blowing has been done, but the ground
is too hard for speed or good work. The
average yield of wheat is from s to s
bushels per acre; oats, Is to 25; barley, rs.
The stacking is over and t%hreshing we'll
advanced, and would be nearly finished
had it not been for the high winds, which
were a great hindrance. Precipitation

yield. Fall plowlng has commenced, and
many of our farmers are working their
summer-fallowed land again to see if they
can not work out the Russian thistle. No
precipitation.

been entirely devoid of precipitation and
quite cold. The ground is in a very bad

allied us the pest week; threshing greatly
hindered. Considerable frost from the

be finished in another week with still
weather. Quality of wheat is good, but
yield is light. No precipitation.

precipitation occurred. Excepting a very
