for the week ending July /.
The general review for the northern section
of Ohio is as follows:
"The dry weather still continues in many OF
the counties, while in others sufficient rain has
fallen to greatly improve the general condi-
ton, and the rain has been pretty well dis.
tlibuted throughout the week. Wheat is turn.
ing and in many place the harvest has begun
the crop seems to be light but of fairly good
quality. Oats show little improvement, but
the straw and heads are short. Corn shows q
good growth, except on some clay and sandy
soils, where it has been effected by the dry
weather Potatoes show a fair growth in
many of the counties, while in others the
ground is still too dry for good results; bugs
have damaged some fields Rye and barley
are beipg cut; crop generally light. Hayinl
has begun, and most of the clover crop has
been cured, the yield will be unusually light
throughout the section. Pastures are in 8
poor condition, and the feeding of stock has
been necessary in some counties, in others they
are improvining somewhat. Fruits, especially
apples, continue to drop"
