THE T
Weekly Crop:Bulletin Report For
Week Ending, Monday,
May 9th.

The past week has not been, on the
whole, u~nfavorable.. Although the first
part of it was cold, the latter part was
warm, with medium heavy rains IN all
sections end followed Sunday morning
by a heavy frost and freeze, which hes
not, however, seemed to have done any
serious damage, as vegetation had made
but slight progress from the damage it
had received from the previous frosts.
1t is not considered that the wheat
crop has been damaged enough to speak
OF. Although in q few places it has been
frozen down, yet it had not been suf6-
GENTLY advanced to be damaged if it wat
all cut down. Oats have suffered, and
to considerable extent; so has flax and
barley, but not so much as oats, as they
were sown after the former and in many
instances were not up. Corn has been
slightly damaged in scattered sections,
but not enough to do more than retard
it's growth some, but as the season is now
about three weeks ahead of the average
time, if there is no more damage, it will
have plenty Of time to mature.
Gardens and fruits have been pretty
we'll destroyed. There is plenty Of time
to replant the gardens, but it is probable
that there will be no fruit here this, sea-
son.
