THE WEATHER.
Weekly Crop.Bulletin Report For
Week Ending, Monday,
August 10th.

With few exceptions, the week has
been a very favorable one for harvest
work. as a general thing it could not
have been better. In the northwestern
portion of the state a severe storm ac-
companie3 by hail has done considerable
damage, estimated to be at least 20 per
cent, but it is understood that it's path
was narrow and the damaged section is
not large. In the western part of the
state, in Stark county, a frost on the 18th
is said to have injured gardens and in
low places frosted wheat, damaging it
somewhat. The principal trouble taking
the state at large, seems to have been
ripened the grain very fast, SO much so
that it has ripened faster than it could
be harvested, and the high winds that
have prevailed during the week have
been Smelling it badly.
Reports as to yield and quality, con-
tinue good, but as very little grain has
been threshed, there is nothing but es-
Inmates to go on.
Harvesting are practically completed
in the southern and central part Of the
state, and is we'll advanced in the north
ern part, except late oats and flax. Po-
tatoes continue to do we'll, but corn
while doing we'll in some sections, has
not made as much progress as it should,
and remain at this date, a rather uncer-
tain crop.
