With the understanding that the
same Was to be paid for in thirty

The week ending Saturday, juno
9th, was another week of dry
weather in most sections of the state
with cool nights and more than the
average amount of sunshine. In the
northeast section the mean temper
ature for the week was very near the
normal but in other sections it
ranged from 2 to 5 degrees below,
the greatest deficiency occurring in
the southeast section. Local show
ers occurred in q number of the
southern counties during the fore
part of the week which greatly reviv-
ed vegetation, and on Saturday eve
ming good rains fell in many of the
central and western counties which
will greatly benefit the crops in
those sections, but in most counties
OF the eastern section and in q
number of the central and western
counties the weather continued dry
throughout the week and q good
soaking rain is badly needed. in q
few localities the rains of Saturday
evening were very heavy, over two
inches falling in fifty minutes at Kid
der, Caldwell county. a severe hail
storm occurred in Maries county on
the 4th doing great damage to corn
and gardens in it's path. Consider
able damage was also done by hail
in Holt county. Frost on the
morning of the 7th did slight
damage to corn and gardens in

q number of the southern counties
and will be general in that portion
of the state this week. Young chinch

ty and some damage by fly is
reported in Bollinger.
The condition of oats remains
about the same thoughin the west
ern counties they win be improved
BY the fec6nt rains. -'-------''-'-'

slowly owing to the cool nights and
dry weather, but is still in good
condition. A email green bug or
louise is reported to be doing much
damage to corn in Saline county.
Cotton is not doing well in the
southeastern counties on account of
the low temperature.
Pastures and meadows are very
short in many sections, but in the
central aud western counties they
will be greatly improved by the late
rains. In the northwest section
some pastures have failed and stock
has been turned on meadows. Glow
er cutting has been pushed in the
southern counties but the crop is
to be light.
There is still considerable com.
plant of fruit dropping and in some
sections small fruits are being iniur-
ed by drouth. Locusts have done
considerable damage to trees in q
of counties.
Potato bugs are doing some
damage in few counties and grass-
