The Crop Bulletin for the week
ending Aug. LIST says: Though
slightly cooler than usual, the last
week in July was generally favor
able for harvest operations and nor
NAL advancement of immature crops.
The rainfall was light in four-fifths
of the state, and excessive in small
areas in the central and northern
sections. Except in scattered local
tiles, the weather conditions were
favorable for securing the bulk Of
the hay crop in excellent conditions
and all reports indicate that the
quality is superior to the output of
recent years. The oats harvest is
practically completed except in the
northern counties, and threshing
from the shock is in progress. The
quality Of the grain is up to the av-
erage. The wheat harvest is near
ing completion, and numerous re-
ports are received of serious damage
by blight and rust, (which will mater
tally lessen the yield and impair the
quality of the grain. The barley
crop is fairly good. Corn is making
very good progress in all parts Of
the state, the more advanced portion
Of the crop being about normal in
size and caring heavily. The potato
crop Is doing we'll, except in few
localities where it is affected by rot.
The apple crop is doing we'll, except
where the fruit has been blown off
by high Winds" :
