AGRICULTURAL MATTERS
GENERALLY SATISFACTORY

The weekly crop bulletin summary
for tine week ending June Is in Illinois
follows:
The average temperature for the
week was about normal: but the daily
range was great, and low night tenn
per2tures retarded the growth of veg
citation to some extent. With the eX-
ception of = few light showers, prin-
cipally in the southern half of the
state, the week was practically rain
less. In the northern district and
portions of the central, the ground is
getting dry, and crops are beginning
to suffer from lack of moisture.
The growth of corn was not rapid,
owing to cool nights, but its condition
is generally satisfactory. Cultivation
continued uninterruptedly through
out the week. Replanting is still in
progress in few localities. Some
planting remains to be done in low,
wet fields. Oats made good growth,
and the condition of the crop, with
few exceptions, shows decided inn
provemcnt. Rye is heading out well,
and a good crop is expected. The
outlook for wheat has steadily i'm
