CROP REPORT.
CENTRAL STATION.


Dies MONIES, Iowa, April 81, 1896
The high temperature and abundant
rainfall OF the past two weeks have
brought the season forward rapidly to
normal conditions, and In some re-
spects 1t Is now In advance OF the
averaeg.
The past week was unusually warm,
and all conditions were favorable for
farm work and the growth Of vegeta-
ton. The daily mean temperature,
ranged from degrees to Is degrees
above normal, the least excess being,
registered In the northwest section.
The rainfall, In form OF light showers.
was ample to maintain sufficient soil
moisture for present needs.
Seeding of small grain is now practi-
cally completed and fair progress has
been made In blowing for corn. With
continuance Of favorable weather
planters will be in operation before
the close OF the month. Early sown
grain Is up, and generally shows ~ good
stand. Spring wheat Is especially
promising, and winter wheat Is gener-
ally IN good condition in the central
and southern districts. But one re-
port has been received of extensive
damage to this crop.
Pastures and meadows have made
growth, aud in some sections pasturage,
is ample for the support OF stock.
Early varieties of fruit are In bloom in
the southern districts, and In all dis
tricts the prospect is excellent.

In Viola last week. On Saturday he

In the south part Of the township
remote from the road stands deserted
house and superstitious people have
long thought the place haunted. All
sorts of supernatural objects haye been
seen from time to time during the
dark hours OF night and all sorts of
unearthly noises have been heard
causing those that believe in hobgob-
Inns, ghosts and ghost stories to go
with throbbing hearts when compelled
to pass this resort of departed spirits.
Some time ago n young man who Is u
firm believer in ghosts WAS induced by
some other young men who were
DESTROYS Of having some fun with him
to 20 during the dismal hours of dark
ness TO beard the monster in his liar.
A confederate was to play ghost and
they entered into solemn compact to
stand by each other until death II at
tackled. They neared the forsaken
house and soon appeared IN sight Il
white robed object with eyes like balls
of fire, horns of prodigal length and Il
tail that dashed the air like "a lion
aroused from his lair. and from this
monster came Il cry that made the
young mans hair stand on end and
cold chills to creep up his spinal
column as lie called for his companions
to flee for their lives. At this juncture
one of his companions called for him
him to come and help carry Bill away
as he had fallen down III Il fit and not
abandon him to his fate, he WAS in
structed to take hold Of Bill's feet and
carry while the companion carried his
head. This maady Bill seemed TO be
in II kicking fit for no sooner Than he
would seige him by the legs than one
of the effected mans feet would strike
him in the ribs and cause him to light
on all fours half rod away. But
finally the combined by the combined
superhuman strength Bill was dragged
to II safe distance, and the aforesaid
young man believes to thic day that he
helped save Bill from fearful death
at the hands Of the monster.
