Their engagement is said to be an

the announcement is due to the fact

that the ply who has strong

Corn Suffering but Tobacco Plants

! The Wisconsin weekly crop bulletin
/ for July says the continued cool, wet
! weather has been unfavorable for
corn and interfered materially with
the harvesting of clover. Some
farmers made an attempt at haying
! but very little was secured in good
| condition. Wheat in some localities
is ready for harvesting but the ground
is very soft. Warm weather is needed
for corn and for the ripening of grain.
The average temperature for the
week was slightly below that of the
preceding week, the entire week
being exceptionally cool and seriously
retarded the advancement of corn and
the ripening of small grains. Killing
frosts occurred in some of the north
ern counties during the early part of
the week and in a few exposed
localities the damage was consider
able. Light frosts were reported from
some sections in the central counties,
but no material damage occurred.
The rains were frequent and gen.

The cool weather during the week
was detrimental to corn, which is be-
coming yellow, especially ON low lana.
Considerable cultivating was done
during the early part of the week IN
the central and southern counties, es-
pecially on high ground. Corn on low
land is generally very weedy and the
stand poor. The condition of this
crop has declined considerably during
the week.
Rye is ripening rapidly and wheat

Considerable clover was cut during

favorable for curing and some loss re-
suited. Hay is generally reported a
heavy crop in all sections of the
state. Pastures are in excellent con
dition. The early varieties are gen-
orally in bloom. Late paintings have
attained good stand and the plants
appear o be thrifty. Some damage
occurred in the northern and central
counties by the frosts during the
early part of the week.
Tobacco planting is nearly com
pleted. The plants are of a good
