THE WEATHER.
Weekly Crop.Bulletin Report For
Week Ending, Monday,
September I'd.

mowers have lnterfered some. The grain
is now all cut, except a few pieces at
widely separated points, which was sown
late, and is consequently much behind that
seeded at the usual time. Threshing is
general in all parts of the state, but will
take a long time to finish it, as the straw
is very heavy, so much so in some places
that the ordinary horse power has been
discarded and steam engines substituted
for it, the amount OF straw having to pass
through the separator being too much tor
the horse power.
A killing frost on the morning Of the 81st
has damaged all tender vegetation in the
central Missouri valley. Al Bismarck the
water in low, exposed places was frozen
over. In Kidder county it was equally
severe, and it is reported that there was
very little of the corn that was out of the
way. Frosts also occurred in other parts
of the state, but as there is very little to
damage except corn, and that is generally
far enough advanced to be out of danger,
they have been of no consequence.
