WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.
cents a bottle

The weather of the past week has been generally warm
and dry, which has been most favorable for harvesting and
thrashlng' and 1t has also caused a portion of the crop
which had heretofore been backward, to ripen rapidly. In
some sections, especially III the southeastern portion of the
state, heavy rain has retarded operations, and some grain
IS beginning to grow in the shock. Some unmatured grain
is reported to have been more or less injured by the extreme
hot weather OF a few days. also high wind caused ripe grain
in some sections to shell out. A light hailstorm the first
part OF the week in Trail county is reported to have caused
more or less damage to standing grain.
Wheat harvest is practically over in the southern por-
ton, ana IS becoming well advanced in the northern.
Thrashing is becoming general, and the indications are
that the crop will generally be Of very good quality. The
previous cool weather has permitted the berry to fill well.
and the recent dry weather has ripened it in good condi-
ton.
Oats harvest is drawing to a close. and thrasbinp is he
coming general. From the quality so far, it is expected
that the crop will be a poor one.
Flax is being cut quite generally, and some has been
finished, although there is some yet too green to harvest.
The crop with a few exceptions seems to be holding it's
own, with prospects tor a very good yield.
Barley harvest is nearing a close. and soma has heer
thrashed. In sections where dry weather has nreva;led
the crop looks favorable, but where rain occurred. il has
been bleached some.
Corn has been greatly benefited by the warm, dry wealth
er, and has advanced rapidly. More warm weather is
needed and II frost holds. off for awhile, it will on the
whole be a better crop than was expected.
Haying still continues in sections not visited nv rain hrt
where rain occurred it has been retarded considerably. AS
has been indicated by previous reports, the crop will be
light and of fair quality only.
