occurred in any section, and was quite
warm, the temperature having been
above normal on all days of the week
except the last. It was favorable
weather for the growth Of vegetables
and for the ripening of fruit, although
corn and oats would have been i'm
proved by rain.
1t was ideal weather for haying,
which is not yet quite finished, and
for the wheat harvest, which has fairly
begun in the early fields of fall wheat.
Fall and winter wheat has ripened
rapidly, and even spring wheat and
oats are beginning to turn. The
heads are filling we'll. There are some
reports OF smut. No fall wheat has
yet been thrashed out, but it is be.
lieved that the yield is generally good,
although not up to the highest expec.
tations. The outlook seems fair for a
fine wheat yield. although some make
less favorable reports.
Nothing has occurred to lessen the
prospect OF fine potato crop. The
weather has been favorable for hops,
as the heat has destroyed the vermin.
Cucumbers aud cantaloupes are pro-
ducing we'll. and sugar beets are in
thrifty condition.
