WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

The past week has been cool and wet. Heavy rains fell
in all parts of the state, and lasted the most of the week,
with cloudy weather when it was not raining. The tenn
perature was quite decidedly below the normal for the
greater portion Of the week, which was very favorable.
Grain of all kinds, except late flax and some oats, is
mostly all cut, and a good part of it in the shock; not
much has been stacked, except in the southern portion.
The rains of the past week have wet the shocks through,
and undoubtedly considerable damage has been done.
Some wheat is reported as moulding in the shock, and con-
siderable is said to be sprouting; the cool weather was
favorable tor grain that remained uncut, preventing it
from Smelling.
A large amount of hay has been damaged by the rains,
especially that stacked by machinery, the most of the
small stacks having been wet through.
Thrashing that was just beginning to be general was
stopped by the rains, and will not be resumed until the
shocks are dried out again, but stack thrashing is expected
to be resumed today.
The rains benefited corn and grass, but corn now needs
warmer weather, and if frost holds off for a couple of
weeks longer, the crop will be safe.
