County Reports Concerning the Crop
Conditions for Week Ending
Sept. 10, 1894.

not been so favorable for threshing as the
previous one was, on account of rains
which fell in nearly all parts of the state.
but still considerable progress was made
and it is probable that three.f0urths OF the
crop has been threshed.
The yields reported this week do not
greatly modify the figures given in last
report.
The northern and western part of the
state was visited by a heavy frost Sunday
night. At Wllliston the temperature fell to
80, and it is probable that everything in
the northern part of the state that had not
matured, vas killed.

the dry and baked condition of the earth.
