According to the Wisconsin weather,
bureau report the average temperature

from 20 degrees, along the southern
border of the state, to "a degrees, over

nicely and made good growth during
the week, while the later paintings
have been very slow in terminating,

those sections where the drought is
serious much replanting will be neces-

western counties, where there has been
sufficient moisture, corn is reported in
excellent condition. The dry weather
during the week has caused these crops
to advance rapidly toward maturity.
The straw is extremely short but the
heads are generally reported of fair
size and filling fairly we'll. Oats and
barley have made good progress where
there has been sufficient moisture. but.
