WEATHER AND
CROP CONDITIONS

Clear weather prevailed most OF
the week. Light showers were
quite general on Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday, the heaviest
amounts being three-fourths Of an
inch in Monroe county and seven
tenths of an inch in Hancock
county. The maximum tempera-
lures ranged from IA to 80 de-
grees, and the minimum tempera-
lures from 50 to y degrees. The
mean temperature and the sum
shine were about normal, but the
rainfall was considerably def
cient.
The weather during the week
has been fine for threshing and
ripening corn. Not much fall
blowing has been done, as the
ground is still too hard and dry.
The showers of last week greatly
improved corn, especially over
the western-central portion; on
hill land, the yield will be rather
light, but on bottoms it will be
good: some corn is being cut; late
corn will not amount to much. but
the prospects are generally for
fair crop. Millet is doing fairly
well. and in some counties has al
ready been cut. Threshing is pro-
crossing rapidly. Buckwheat is
ripening with fairly good pros
poets. Turnips are not making
much growth. Cowpeas are doing
fairly well, and tobacco is prom
Using. Sweet potatoes will make
a fair yield, and Irish potatoes
are being dug. Pastures are gen
orally short, but are showing
some improvement on account OF
recent rains. Stock is in good
condition. Water is very scarce
in some counties for stock.
Peaches are making a fair yield;
apples will be about a half crop;
grapes are ripening and will be
plentiful. Good rains are badly
needed, both to start pastures and
to soften the ground for fall plow-
