WEATHER REPORT.

T. WEAl TEX KEFOK
While good showers fell in some parts of the state the
past week, yet the greater portion received none. or very
light rain, not heavy enough to do more than wash off the
plants and freshen them up some. Hail storms are reported
from several sections, and some damage has been done by
them; the most severe one heard of, is from Cass county.
Wheat is nearly all headed out; it has not made any de-
cided improvement during the past week, and the crop over
the state, taken as a whole, is very poor. Some fields are
now being plowed up, and some are reported as not being
worth cutting; these are exceptions. but most of the fields
are weedy and the grain stands thin, while the heads are
short. The present cool weather IS favorable tor filling,
but the outlook for a crop is poor.
Oats and barley have gone back in most al! sections, al
though they have improved in some. They are heading
out, with short straw; some barley is turning in the south
ern part OF the state, and cutting is expected to commence
next week.
Early flax still continues good. as a rule, and while not
making rapid progress, is standing the drouth better than
any other grain; that sown late is just coming up, and the
stand is generally thin and uneven, and it is not expected
to mature.
1t has been rather cool for corn, and no material improve
ment has been made in it; yet it has not gone back any, but
is at a s~tandstill, and needs warmer weather, as we'll as
moisture to promote rapid growth.
Hayipg has commenced in some places, but is not gen.
eral. The yield is expected to be light, as the grass is
very thin, and on ne uplands is not worth cutting, while
on bottoms it is short and poor.
