the Louisville Weather Bureau, is
as follows:
The first half of the week was
warm with few local showers the
latter part was fair and cool, the
nights being unusually cool for the
time Of year.
Tobacco has improved to quite an
extent, but even with favorable
conditions it cannot make a full
crop. Some fields were set out I'M
der unfavorable conditions and did
not get a good start, and some have
suffered from drouth. The crop
has been unusually free from worms.
Cutting is in progress in the early
fields.
Corn is looking more promising
since the rains, and as whole, will
be nearly up to the average. 1t is
maturing slowly, and generally has
plump, well-filled ears. The great
er part of it will be ready for cut
ting between the 18th and goth of
September.
Pastures and meadows have turn
ed green in most localities since the
rains of last week, and the fall feed
looks promising.
Peaches are turning out better
than expected and are coming into
market plentifully. Apples are not
so good aud are frequently wormy
and inferior.
Gardens have dried out badly be-
fole the rain, but now show some
improvement. Irish and sweet po-
tates are yielding well.
A fair crop Of millet has been saw
ed. Considerable clover has been cut
FOR seed and good yield reported.
Sorghum looks promising and near
ly ready to make up.
Hemp has not done well and is
not up to the standard.
Flowing for wheat is in progress
and farm work is generally well up.
