The weekly crop bulletin for the week
ending Monday, August 81, follows:
Practically no rain fell in the State
during the week and the weather has
been favorable for all work, except
plonghing, which needs great deal of
rain to put the ground in good condi-
ton for the pillow. The temperatures,
until Saturday ran along quite evenly,
being about the normal for the season.
On Saturday and Sunday they were
considerably higher. None of our corn
and wheat observers reported minimum
temperatures reaching the frost line,
although the minimums of the morn
ing of the 26th showed that light frosts
were very probable in exposed locali-
ties, and Alexandria reported light
frost. Our crop reporter mentions light
frosts in all sections of the State on the
26th and 9th, but further than the dis
coloring of corn fodder and slight in
jury to the most tender garden truck no
damage has resulted. Harvest is being
rapidly finished in the most northern
part of the State. In other parts thresh-
ing is general and well advanced,
though the work has had serious de-
lays on account of high winds Con-
siderable corn is ripe and already cut,
but the late planted will require from
ten days to two weeks to place it be-
yond danger from frost. The crop is
good one.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condi.
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
