Rev. and Mrs. H. Beer of the Church
of the Holy Communion, entertained
the members of the two Guilds and
the congregation of that church last
Tuesday afternoon and evening. The
event was somewhat in the nature of
a farewell gathering at the home of
the minister, who intends to leave for
the Pacific coast soon. A large crowd
was present. The Guilds and congre-
cation will probably give formal
farewell reception to Mr.. and Mrs.
Beer before they depart.
The general summary of the
weather crop bulletin for the week
ending Sept. II, says that with the ex-
ception of Monday, the week was
daily from three to ten degrees warm
er than usual. On Monday night it
was much cooler and frosts were gen
eral, but to how damaging an extent
is as yet unknown. Heavy showers
occurred Thursday and Friday in the
southeastern part of the State. They
effectually broke the long continued
drouth in that section and placed the
soil in excellent condition for fall
blowing. Elsewhere the drouthy con-
ditions continue and blowing on this
account has been retarded although a
comparative large amount of this
work has been accomplished. Thresh-
ing in all sections is nearly finished
and the farmers are now busy cutting
corn. Most of this crop is ripe and
out of danger from frosts. But few
of the late varieties of potatoes have =.
yet been dug. The dry rc,:t previously
reported as affecting them still con-
tlnues, but complaints this week we're
} less than usual. Belgium horse car
rots are reported green and gaining
steadily; they apparently stand the
drouth remarkably we'll and are said
to make the cheapest food for stock
that can be planted. Pasturage is
still very poor in nearly all sections
and stock have to be regularly fed. A
great many wells and small brooks
have dried up in the south half of the
State and water from the lakes has to
be hauled for stock. There is consid-
cradle late flax yet in danger of being
injured by frost. In Hennepin and
Wright counties sorghum is being
made with yields of about 100 gallons
to the acre. There have been a few
reports to the effect that wheat will
be mixed with other grain and ground
