RAIN HELPS THE CROPS.
Favorable Conditions for the Growth oil
Vegetation.


Vegetation.
The following crop bulletin was is.
sued yesterday by the Illinois section
of the United States department OF
agriculture at Springfield:
The first few days of last week
were dry and very warm and farm
work proceeded rapidly. The soil be-
came very dry generally, and growing
crops suffered somewhat. From
Wednesday to Saturday good rains
occurred throughout the state. The
rain fell generally in such a manner
as to be we'll absorbed by the soil, the
run-off being small, and the end of
the week finds conditions highly IA
vorable for growth of vegetation and
the ground good for working. except
where too wet.
The rain interfered with farm
work considerably from Wednesday
to Saturday. Low temps rature dur
ing the rainy weather in the northern
and central districts retarded the
growth of such vegetation as requires
warm weather for its rapid advance
ment. The rain in the southern part
of the state waSlight and mole rain
is needed in that section. A few re-
porters from other parts of the state
say that the rain has been inadec uate.
Wheat generally looks we'll in the
northern district. bu: in the central
and southern districts the ravages of
the Hessian fly have become very Sc
rious. Many fields are being plowed
up for corn, while a few reporters
say that the crop in their sections
will be almost an entire failure. In
some places the prospects continue
excellent and the plant is heading
finely.
The planting of corn is not yet
finished, considerable of it remaining
implanted in the northern di strict.
This work was retarded by the rainy
weather. That already planted is do
ing well. A few fields have been re-
planted and large acreage is re-
ported from Coles and Douglas
counties.
Oats. meadows and pastures suf-
fered slightly from the dry weather,
but the recent rains have started
rapid and vigorous growth and the
prospects for these crops are now ex-
cellent

Mr. johnson and the wench. One

by striking her over saucy head
with large-sized stoye'lifter. He
had used the instrument until ii
seemed Intellectual in doing more
damage. then he started for the ak.
Friends of both interfered at this
point. There is nothing in the socie-
ty etiquette rules along the canal to
prevent man from taking stove
litter to 4 woman, but the use of an
AK in manifesting displeasure toward
a lady is not considered good taste.
The woman was in need of a physi-

her head. johnson was taken before
Squire Benedict and put under bonds
