BEING CANNED
In Southern iilnois-large Potato
Crop Promised--Some Sections
Need Rain.

Following were the climate and
crop conditions in Illinois the past
week as reported by the United States
department of agriculture.
Scattered showers, mostly OF light
proportions. fell in some localities the
first and latter part of the week, but
the general condition is droughty, and
the need of rain is being felt in most
sections The average temperature
was below the seasonable average, the
characteristic being very cool nights
and warm sunshiny days. Very favor
able weather prevailed for threshing
operations, and considerable fall plow-
ing has been done. except in localities
where the soil is too hard and dry to
work Corn has reached the stage OF
development where good crop is
assured with seasonable weather,
but the crop is beginning TO suffer for
moisture. and unless showers come
soon, injurious results will ensue. The
crop has advanced but little during
the week on account OF cool nights
and lack OF rainfall. The present
need is warmth and moisture The
crop is firing in many localities.
The threshing Of oats has proceed
ed with little interruption, and the
work is finished or nearing compile
tion. In the northern section the
yield is good, but in the central and
southern districts the output is be-
low the average The quality of the
grain is generally good.
Wheat threshing is nearly finished
with yield below average The quah
ty generally ranges from fair to good.
Rye and barley are giving compensat-
ing results Buckwheat continues in
q promising condition. Sugar corn is
ripening with assuring prospects.
While pasturage continues good in
localities where showers have fallen.
the general condition OF grasses has
deteriorated. and moisture is urgently
needed A fair hay crop of excellent
quality has been secured, and baling
is now in active operation. The out.
look for timothy seed is promising.
In the central district the cutting OF
clover for seed Is proceeding
A large potato crop of good quality
is indicated. Tomatoes are unusually
well developed and are ripening fast.
Grapes and plums will produce
pears are fairly promis-
ing. in some localities apples and
peaches are showing better than an
but the general condition OF
apples Is very disappointing, both
with regard to yield and quality In
the southern district apples and
peaches are being canned.
The following reports are furnished
by correspondents in the southern
district. the name of the county being
by the name of the postof-
fee:
