DIES MONIES JUNE 70, 1902.
The week was unseasonably cool,
the average daily temperature at
the central station being twelve de-
grees below normal. On the morn
ings of the 2lst and 22d, the frost
line was reached at numerous plac-
es but no material damage resulted.
The rainfall was variable, ranging
from trace to three inches. In con-
siderable portions of the state the
soil was dry enough for cultivation
of corn and fair progress has been
made in cleaning the fields. In the
dryer sections the corn is about
ready to be laid by in promising
condition.
The low temperature has been ia
vorable for small grain, checking a
tendency to rust and excessive
growth of straw. For maturing the
harvest of barley, oats and spring
wheat there is need of dry weather
and sunshine. Clover cutting is in
progress, but conditions have not
been favorable for securing the
crop. Pastures and potatoes are
doing we'll. Apples are doing fairly
we'll, though the crop as whole is
considerably below theaverage. ALI
fruits have been measurably disap-
pointing this season, but garden
vegetables have made bulky growth

been enlarged four times its origi-
nal capacity in the last four years
