along in the central and beginning in
the northern counties, and a good crop
is being harvested, though in some
places it was damaged by the rust and
in some northern counties it ripened too
rapidly at the last. Corn has grown
rapidly this warm week; the early has
mostly been laid by and the cultivators
have worked rapidly in the late. In the
extreme south the early corn is in the
roasting ear, and in Linn it is tasseling
and beginning to tassel in Riley. Flax
is turning in Allen and is in fine condi-
