Mrs. H. NJ. Hitchcock was visiting
at Delhi during the latter part of last
week.
Mrs. J. L. Byram drove to Walnut
Grove on Tuesday of last week, re-
turning home Friday, accompanied by
the Misses May and Ora Masters.
Globe: The latest discovery at Red :
wood Falls is a mine of chinch bugs.
This happened while Julius was at
tending the Republican convention at
St. Pauf,but company will be formed
to work the mine as soon as he re-
turns.
The freight coming east out of Wa
tertown, Sunday night found it a very
difficult job to leave town, says the
Morton Enterprise. The strikers per-
suaded three firemen to leave the en-
CINE. Finally a fourth fireman was
secreted in the caboose till out of town
few miles when he took up his du-
ties.
The idea of allowing each commits
sioner district to select their share of
the delegates to the State convention
that gave some of the delegates from
Granite Falls the stomach ache SO
bad, was adopted in Redwood county,
and as result all parts of the county
are represented and the best of feel
ing exists all around, says the Echo
Enterprise.
The general summary of the Min
nesota weather crop bulletin for the
week ending July 20. states that ex-
cept during the last two days of the,
week the temperature has been cooler
than usual and especially so nights,
which was very beneficial to the small
grain now heading out. There has,
been no rain except light local show
ers in the northern part of the State
Wednesday and in the remaining por-
tons Thursday and Friday. These
showers were insufficient and scatter
) ing, many places not receiving any
moisture whatever. Rain is now need
ed for corn, potatoes, pasturage and
the late sown small grain. The corn
has made splendid growth during
the week and in many places is tas-
selling; it keeps of good color, out
in some of the dry districts is begin
ming to look rather spindling, this is
notably SO in Hennepin county, few
counties in the southwestern part of
the State and elsewhere in the high
sandy soils. The corn acreage is very
large and the crop is generally in ex-
cellent condition and from two to three
weeks farther advanced than usual at
this time of the year. There has been
a considerable improvement in the
condition of wheat, which is now head
ing out in all parts of the State. In
the dry sections and on the high sandy
soils the stand is thin and the straw
short; no complaints are made howev-
er, regarding the heads, which are,ex-
cept in Hennepin county, reported of
a fair length and healthy looking.
Chinch bugs are much more numer-
GUS than heretofore during the season
and if dry weather continues they will
do great deal of damage. The south
ern counties have just begun harvest
ing oats; this crop will average quite
light. Barley cutting has begun in
many places and it's condition is SINH
lar to that of wheat. The winter rye
harvest is we'll advanced, and the crop
will he large and good one. Consid-
cradle progress has been made with
haying, the weather being exception
ally hne Tor curing and gathering this
crop. The wild upland and timothy
yields are quite light, except along
the Mississippi low lands where the
latter will be fair crop; nearly two
tons to the acre being reported from
Wabasha county. The condition of
fax has improved somewhat, but the
outlook for the late sown is still very
uncertain. Potatoes in most places
badly need rain which, if timely, will
greatly improve their condition. Po-
tato bugs are not quite as numerous
as they have been, probably on ac-
count of the cool nights. Bees are
doing we'll and gathering considerable
