of snow. The corn crop in the cen
trail district is in good condition gen
orally. Some complaint is made of
injury to late planted by frost, but
the bulk of the crop is well matured,
and will probably produce an average
yield. Husking is in progress in many
localities, ana some has been cribbed
in good condition.
Early sown wheat is showing well,
but late planted needs rain. The aver
age sown will probably show de-
crease. Meagre reports indicate rye
to be in a thrifty condition. Pastures
range from poor to fine. The wheat
crop is practically all sown in the
southern district. The early seeded
shows a vigorous sprout and good col
or, but the late needs rain for even
termination. Pastures have suffered
more or less, throughout the season,
and are now affOrding but little feed.
\ large acreage has been sown in
timothy.
Corn is very uneven in this district
and the yield will be below average.
Considerable complaint is made of
damage by chinch bugs. The potato
crop throughout the state is generally
disappointing. The yield is below
average and the quality inferior.
Sweet potatoes have been harvested
with satisfactory results.
Apple picking is in progress. \ few
orchards have yielded well, but the
general output will be small. and the
quality is poor. Stock is doing well,
and will enter winter under favorable
conditions. \ few sporadic cases of
hog cholera are reported

OCTOBER WAS FAVORABLE
Crop Bulletin Shows That all Kinds of
Vegetation Did Well.

Vegetation Did Well.
The special crop bulletin for the
month of October in Illinois, sent
out by the department of agriculture
shows that the average temperature
for the month was nearly normal.
The month opened warm, and mOder-
ate weather continued until the 18th
when Il fall below the scasonable aver
age occurred. Another warm period
began with the second decade. The
coolest period obtained on the 18th
and 24th, when killing frosts occurred
in the northern and the central dis
tricts, respectively.
The rainfall was deficient and oc-
CURED mostly during the first decade.
Weather conditions were ideal for
farming operations, and corn matured
beyond expectations. In the north
ern district corn was practically safe
before the advent of killing frosts.
Only the late planted was affected,
and this represents only a small pro-
portion of the local crop. Comparative
estimates of yield make nearly an av-
erage crop of good quality.
Pastures in this district still main
tain an excellent condition, and will
probably afford feed until the coming

With their little red wrappers deco
rated with black polka-dots. the various
members OF the lady-bug family are CAV
and attractive members Of the insect
world. They are always mans friend
and get most Of their living by proving
on the destructive soft-bodied plant
lice, the most common OF which
Is the green aphis, which can commonly
be found on house plants and rosa
bushes. The most striking example q
the usefulness of the lady-bug to tho
horticultnrists Is seen in the case Of
Nedalia cardinals, the bug which was
Imported from Australia and which
saved the citrus trees Of California by
destroying the cottony- cushioned scale
which was devastating the orange and
lemon groves. In the study OF the
grain aphis 1t was found that a species
OF lady-bug preyed upon this pest. The
former were observed to go down among
the roots of the grain in the field in
search Of the aphides, and to pass the
winter along with them in that situa-
tlon. The larvae of the lady-bug also
live principally upon insects which arc
destructive to garden and field crops.
