there is also some complaint that wheat
is sprouting in the shock. Not only
has the work been delayed during the

too soft for the binder and reaper. In
the upper peuinsular and northern
counties Of lower Michigan haying has
been greatly delayed and much of the
cut damaged While cultivation and
other field work has been greatly re-
,arded. vegetation of all kinds has
been greatly benefited by the wet
weather There is some complaint that
the heavy rains have damaged corn
and potatoes on low lands, but gener-
ally corn. potatoes, beans, sugar beets
and garden truck have made fine pro-
gress and are in good condition. Corn
is rather short. but looks strong and
healthy; it is generally tasseling and
in the southern part of the state it is
setting for ears. Dat harvest Is just
beginning and the present condition
of that crop indicate large yield.
Some barley has been cut. In the
southern counties blowing for fall

healthy condition in the state. The
presence of diarrhea, for the first time
this year, at the head of the list of dis
eases which caused most sickness dur
ing the week, might be supposed to in
dicate that this disease was unusually
prevalent. but this is not the fact. The
average percentage OF reports which
stated the presence of diarrhea in
Michigan in July in the 10 preceding
years is -, and for the week ending
July . Of this year is 81 per cent, or
about per cent below the average.
The diseases which usually cause most
sickness in Michigan - rheumatism,

than usually prevalent, and thus
diarrhea, with less than the average
amount of sickness at this period of the
