Crop Bulletin for week ending
September IA, 1908 says: The past
week has been unseasonably cool,
wet and cloudy. The average
temperature was but little below nor
NAL, but the large excess of rainfall
and general prevalence Of cloudiness
made it unfavorable for rapid ma
turing OF crops and farming opera
tions. Threshing has been delayed,
and grain in shock and stack has
suffered very considerable damage.
Reports indicate that corn has made
some advancement toward maturity,
but not as rapidly as seems neces-
sary for the safety of the bulk Of
the crop. EARLY planted corn is re-
ported to be mostly beyond danger
of harm by frost in the northeast
district, and in favored localities in
the southeast district; but for the
state att large the percentage Of vel,
1natured corn is as yet relatively
small. The bulk Of the crop needs
two or three weeks of good ripenine
weather The conditions have beer
favorable for pasturage, which wa
never better at this time Of the year
