WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
- = = OF THE :.
4 WISCONSIN, WEATHER SERVICE. |

For the week ending Tuesday, Aug.
28th, 1894.
BULLETIN No. 10.
The past week has been practically
without moisture. and except that the
effect of the great drouth has become
more apparent, the general conditions
are about the same as last week.
The temperature has been slightly
above the average, with clear skies,
though the suns heat has been mitigat-
ed by dense smoke that has covered
a large portion of the state; and one
observer reports the sun obscured.
The smoke is caused by forest fires
which ale raging IN the northern part
of the state and are increasing in sever
ity.
Corn in the south portion and along
the lake is in fair condition and will,
no doubt. yield half an average crop;
the general complaint being that the
ears are short. In other portions of
the state the corn crop is very poor,
except in few favored localities.
Early potatoes are being dug and
while the Yield is light the quality is
good; the later varieties are, IN many
cases, a complete failure, while the
crop might yet be benefited to some
extent by rain storm.
Tobacco is being put into the shed;
tho quality is good but only about one
third of crop.
Pastures are dead and the feeding of
stock is general. some farmers are
cutting hay for that purpose. Great
difficulty is also experienced in supply
ing water.
Threshers continue to report favor
ably as to the yield of small grams.
Clover is being cut and the seed is a
light crop.
Very little blowing has been done as
the ground is too dry and hard.
Cranberries not reported.

Director State Weather Service.

How Mr.. Mitchell Sees Things
Out West,

William Mitchell, Sr., has been out in
eastern Nebraska, Colfax county, for
the last three months. When we asked
him what he saw in that country, he re-
piled quickly enough, mot much"
He saws that west from Columbus, there
is nothing at all in the way of crops.
He thinks that III parts farther east there
may be one-third of a corn crop, oats
the same and wheat fair. People and
stock west of Columbus are without
food. and must be cared for this winter
if they remain there. From 80 to IS
teams bringing families east, can be
seen any day on the main roads. Some
of the Grant county people who are in
other counties, (among them August
Kuester, from Rockville) have enough
and 10 spare. Local showers have been
the cause of this difference in crops in
sections near together. While there,
he visited at the homes of Ludwig Rem
inert, - Wissel. - Leirer, Henry
Meyer, G. Bronke and the Heuppell
folks. These people are in pretty good
circumstances with fair crops. Herman
Feist is one hundred miles farther west,
and has nothing for himself or his stock.
Mr.. Mitchell is not at all csptivated
with Nebraska, at least this year. He
thinks that Grant county is hard to
beat. While in Nebraska he heard
that everything here was dried up. but
when he found his oats as heavy as in
almost any past year and three and one
half acres of rye gave him one hundred
bushels, he felt that old Grant is all
right sure enough.
