Crop Report,

Following crop report was made for
is district during the week past:
The average temperature for the
eek was about normal, and slightly
armer than last week, especially in
re southern counties, where the
,eekly average was Y degrees.
The rainfall for the week has been
cry light and scattered. Local
hunderstOrms of considerable severi
y occurred along the western border
{ the state In Grant and Vernon
ounties the damage to crops by hail
I a few localities was severe. Trees
Tere stripped of foliage; lambs and
Dung pigs killed; windows broken,
nd crops beaten down
The weather during the past week
as been generally fair for the cult
alton of corn, which has been pushed
igorously. This work, however, is
OF yet completed, as many fields on
ow ground and heavy soil are too
yet to work and another week of
Try weather is needed. The crop is
generally strong and healthy and of
ood color.
Winter wheat and rye are beginning
ripen and some will be harvested
his week. Some damage was done
hese crops in western counties by
ocal hailstorms, but generally the
outlook is good. Oats and barley
lave made a too rapid gro with for the
est results and there is a decided
endency to lodge badly on rich soil.
Grass and pastures are good. Some
clover he's been cut. Hay on bottom
and has been damaged by the over
low of the streams. Potatoes are
making good progress. Some COM
plant of rotting on account Of con-
tinued wet weather.
