WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

WEEKLY WEATHER REPOR
The past week has been a very favorable one for crops of
all kinds. Considerably warmer weather prevailed, with
light scattered showers, and the growth OF grain and grass
are reported, mostly in the northern portion of the state,
but none of them did any damage.
Wheat covers the ground in most places and is generally
strong and vigorous. The high temperature of the latter
part of the week forced it more than it should have been,
but being followed by cooler weather, with light showers
in most sections Sunday night, it will have a chance to re-
vive. In some low places where it was drowned out by the
heavy rains of the latter part of May, it will have to be re-
sown, which is now being done, most of the land being put
into flax, barley and millet.
Oats, rye and barley are doing we'll in all sections and
making a rapid growth.
Flax seeding is still in progress, although only scattered
fields are left to be sown now. That sown early is up and
doing fairly we'll, that sown late has not sprouted yet, and
in most sections needs rain to start it. A crust has formed
on the ground in most sections, especially on low land,
which keeps vegetation from coming through easily, and
this is retarding considerable fax from coming up.
Corn, which has been backward, owing to the cool
weather, was greatly improved by the recent warm
weather, but is still backward and has a very uneven
stand; in some fields it is just coming up in places, while in
others it is large enough to cultivate. Some areas in the
southeastern part of the state have been replanted, owing
to the seed rott1ng.
Grass is growing fast, and in most sections promises a
large crop Of hay, but in considerable of the western por-
ton, where extensive prairie fires prevailed this spring,
but little hay can be put up.
