Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The weekly bulletin of the Michigan
weather service says that frequent
showers in the central and southern
counties, and also in the northern
counties, lying along the lake shore,
has interfered with having and harvest
work during the past week, although
no serious damage has been reported.
Generally the weather conditions of
the week have been very favorable to
crop growth, and corn, oats, potatoes
and pastures show a marked improve
ment over their condition one week
ago. In some of the interior counties
the rains were heavy enough to do
some damage to crops on low lands,
and slight damage to hay is also re-
ported. The wet weather has inter
fered somewhat with corn, potato and
beet cultivation. In the southern half
of the state wheat cutting is well adj
vanced and the grain is in shock in
most fields. Threshing has commenced
In a few of the southern counties, and
a very light crop is reported, although
the quality is exceptionally good.
Late potatoes are beginning to bloom,
and are not being molested to any con-
siderable extent by bugs. Sugar beets
continue to make excellent progress,
except on the low lands of the district
adjoining Saginaw bay, where the
ground is very wet. Pasturage is gen
orally in very good condition.

PRODUCTION of the Australian salt
bushes" hundreds of thousands of
acres of hitherto worthless land in our
western states will become valuable for
grazing. The salt bushes" are mem
bers of large plant family, to which
the beet and pigweed also belong, but
only few varieties have any economic
value. That which has given the best
results in the west is atriplex semi
baccata. The plants of this family
have great drought-resisting power,
and will grow on soil too alkaline to
sustain even alfalfa. They keep green
all summer, grow rapidly, yield from
two to four crops year, and the root
remains in the ground for the next
season. They have great fattening and
health-giving qualities for stock, maxi
ing the best of beef, and wool of un-
surpassed evenness and strength of
fiber. The Introduction of these plants
is another proof that science pays,
even in farming.
