Weather and Crops

WEEKLY REPORT.


SUMMARY.
Generally favorable weather for crops Of all kinds pre-
vailed during the past week. Although the temperature
was slightly below the average, it seemed warm by COM
parison with previous weather, and this, with heavy
showers in most parts of the state, caused a vigorous
growth of vegetation. Some localities that were not
favored with showers are complaining that rain is needed.
Scattered hail storms are reported, but it is said that but
little damage, except in some narrow strips, has resulted to
the crop.
Wheat is blossoming and filling very we'll, with long
heads, and as a rule, heavy straw. In some sections rust
is appearing, and on low gurnbo land in the eastern portion
the crop is very poor.
Early barley is ripening fast, and some of it has been
harvested in the extreme southern portion. 1t is said to be
an excellent crop.
Oats are about all headed and are also filling well. Rye
is growing fast with heavy straw. Late milet is back
ward, especially where the land is dry.
Early fax is poisoning and doing we'll, but that sown
late is very poor and backward, and fears are felt that it
will not mature unless there is unusually favorable weather.
Corn is growing very fast and is now about two weeks
behind the season. 1t is being cultivated the last time in
the eastern and southern portions.
Haying is general, and the yield could not be better;
work was interrupted the latter part of the week in most
sections by showers.
