WISCONSIN CROPS.
Army Worm Has Done Some Damage,
but Its Ravages Are not Great.

The crop bulletin for the week end
ing July q notes that the weather con
ditions during the week have in the
main been very favorable to all crops
not yet matured Liberal and timely
rains occurred in nearly all portions of
the state on the 23d, and were extreme
ly beneficial to young clover, which it
was feared had been badly injured by
the dry weather of the first Of the
month. Again on the 25th rains were
general over the state and heavy, es-
pecially in the southern portion. This
rain was very beneficial to corn and
pastures, as the temperature remained
high both during the rain and after,
and while the fall was heavy in some
localities it is not thought that any
damage has been done to grain in the
shock. Harvesting is about completed
in the southern counties and some
threshng has been done. In the mid
die and northern sections the work of
harvesting is being pushed and in some
sections harvesters are run night and
day in order to cut the grain before 1t
is taken by the army worms, which
are doing considerable damage in many
