WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT.

Light to heavy showers fell last week in the southeastern,
northeastern and extreme north central portions of the state;
in other sections there occurred only very light showers,
which were poorly distributes; none of them heavy enough
to be Of benefit, The temperature was slightly lower than
the normal, and high winds were frequent, doing but little
damage however: Several very light hail storms are report
ed. doing some slight damage in Richland county.
In the sections where rain has fallen, wheat has revived
some, where not too far gone. As rule, in these sections
the late sown grain looks better than that sown early: it is
generally headed out, but most of the heads are small. The
cool weather of the past week has been very favorable for
filling it, where not damaged by drouth.
Oats have improved but little, and in the sections that have
outlook is not promising. Early rye is being harvested. and
barley cutting will be general this week; but it is ripening
slowly.
Flax is still doing well where it has had rain, but in other
sections, where it has previously held its own, and done

in the the large flax producing counties OF the state. Late
sown flax that did not come up until after the early rains, is
growing fairly well, but is very late, and as a rule, quite
weedy. That sown early is blossoming and is very uneven.
Corn is not making very rapid progress, being retarded
both by lack of moisture in most sections, as well as cooler
weather than is usual at this time of year, but with warmer
weather may be expected to make a vigorous growth, as the
plant is generally very strong and healthy.
Haying is in progress in all sections, and except in the ex-
treme north central portion. the grass is very thin and the
yield is light and of poor quality.
