Climate and Crop Bulletin.
The weather was good till the af-
ternoon or evening of the 9Th when
rain began, which was general all
over the state. The rain in northern
In southern portions rain was still
falling on. the morning of the 18th.
In the early half of the week the
nights were cold, with frosts in some
places; the day Temperatures were
only moderate. In all parts of the
state work advanced rapidly till it
was stopped by the rains. The seed
ing of wheat is finished; oat, barley
and fax seeding is well advanced,
though ground is still being plowed
for these crops. A good deal of pre-
paration for corn has been going on,
and on the light southern soils some
corn has been planted. Potato plant
ing is also going on. The wheat is
generally up, and it is stooling; early
oats and barley are also up. The
soil is in splendid condition except in
the extreme Southeast where the
heavy soil retains too much moisture.
