WEATHER COOL
FOR GOOD GROWING
Warmer Weather Is Needed for
Benefit of Crops, Though Rains
Have Helped Out Some
CORN SUFFERS FROM LATE FR0STS
Fruits Do Well and Yield IS Large and
Iucious- Notes on Weeks Happen
ings in County

Reports received this week from
correspondents show more clearly the
effects of the frosts which occurred on
the 18th and 18th, and while in many
ections the damage to crops proved to
be less than than at first appeared, some
portions of the State, particularly the
Wisconsin valley, suffered severely says
the weekly bulletin of the agricultural
department. Field crops were totally
destroyed only in limited areas where
the conditions were especially favorable
to frost, but growth was checked and
recovery has been slow The past week
has not been favorable for rapid growth
on account of the cool weather although
the rains have furnished sufficient mois-
ture for present needs and improved
the general situation materially. Warm
weather is needed, particularly for
corn.
Corn Early paintings in exposed
localities were generally seriously in
iured by the frosts. and in few To-
calities totally destroyed. While corn
on high ground escaped the frost the
cool weather has retarded growth and
the crop rs whole presents very
unpromising appearance at the present
time The rains during the week were
very beneficial and with warm weather
a large percentage of the crop will re-
cover from the effects Of the unfavor-
able weather Cultivation proceeded
rapidly during the week and the fields
are generally free Of weeds
Winter Wheat and Rye have IN
dOubtedly suffered some injury by the
frosts, bat it is not possible at present
to estimate the amount Of the damage.
The growth of straw is heavy and in
most sections appears to be heading

rains during the week were beneficial
to these crops, but the cool weather re-
tarded growth. Spring grains are,
however making satisfactory advance
ment, and the outlook Is promising
Potatoes: Early paintings were in
iured in exposed localities by the frosts,
and the crop as a whole is rather back.
ward. The soil is generally in good
condition. and with warm weather n
rapid Improvement would result
Tobacco: The bulk Of the crop was
transplanted during the week, and the
rains, together with the cool, cloudy
weather, have been very favorable for
the newly set plants, Considerable re
planting was necessary on account Of
the frOsts
Grass and Pastures; Clover is in full
bloom and some already harvested.

berries and blueberries were injured by
the frost in some localities but generally

quality. The blight has made its ap-
pearance again on apple trees in some
