WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

w La HIN NIL YIN
The past week has been generally cool and showery;
some sections receiving heavy rain, and others only light
showers, which were, as a rule very favorable tor hlllng
early grain, and promoting growth of late sown grain, but
quite unfavorable for haying, and considerable hay that
had been cut, but not stacked was damaged. Light hail
storms are reported from widely separated points, none OF
them heavy enough to do any material damage. The frost
of the last of July does not seem to have done HARM ex-
cept in some low places, but the damage is too small to be
considered.
Harvest of early wheat has commenced in the northern
portion, and is we'll advanced in the southern. This week
will see it general in all parts of the state, except possibly
the extreme northwestern portion, where grain has not adj
vanced as rapidly as it has in other sections, aud 1t is a
little behind the season, but promises an excellent crop.
Barley is mostly all cut, and some has been thrashed; the
yield seems to promise about half an average crop OF rather
poor quality. Rye has also been cut, but none thrashed
vet. Oats are being cut in all sections, and the general
result is said to be poor, as the straw is short, with small
heads of not very good kernals.
Early flax is filling we'll; late flax is doing we'll since the
recent rains, but is so far behind the season that it is in
danger of being caught by frosts, if they come at the aver
age time of occurrence.
Corn has not grown we'll the past week; it has been too
cool and wet for it; in most sections the crop will be short,
and it is in a generally poor condition, taken as a whole.
Haying still continues, particularly in the western por-
ton, where the grass is now growing fast, but the crop
will be short.
Small grain almost q total failure, although
Cromwsl.-ssevera good showers during the week caused grain to ripen
