SUMMARY.

SUMMARY
The past week has been very unfavorable for harvesting
and thrashing. High winds on nearly every day, and
particularly during the fore part of the week, retarded all
work and did some damage to grain that was IN shock by
blowing it down, and to uncut grain that was ripe BY
Smelling it out. Hay, which was not securely stacked also
suffered, considerable of it being scattered in the fields and
many of the stacks had the top blown off, necessitating
their being retopped. Fortunately little or no rain occurred
during this period or serious damage would have been
done both grain and hay.
killing frosts occurred in nearly all portions Of the state
the fore part of the week, being heaviest the morning of
the 18th, when temperatures registering below thirty were
recorded in most sections. Most OF the late sown grain, as
we'll as corn which was not n1atured, and there was consid-
cradle that was not, was either damaged or.k1lled by this
frost. Vines and all other tender vegetation were totally
destroyed and but little OF the late sown grain escaped
injury, especially flax and millet.
The wheat harvest is finished, as is that of oats, barley
and early fax. All that now remains is late flax, and
some few fields of late sown wheat and oats, which have
practically no chance Of maturing.
Thrashing is in progress in all parts, but was much
retarded by high winds. Grain is turning out very well,
the yield being slightly above the average for most sec
tons. IA
Fall blowing has commenced in the southeastern part OF
the state, but the ground is so dry and hard that 1t is
difficult work, and it is not probable that much will be
done this fall. #
