RAIN EFFECTS HARVEST
AND HAVING IN STATE
Northern Part of Illinois Suffers Most,
According to the Crop Bull
letin.

Following is the United States de
partmcnt of agriculture's crop bulletin
for the week ending July Il:
ShOwcry conditions continued until
the middle of the week. In many 10
calitics the rainfall was heavy. The
temperature the first part of the week
was below the seasonal average. de
cided reaction occurring the later
part, with maximum of 30 degrees and
over Registered in all sections. Har-
vcsting, haying and thrCshing were
retarded the first part of the week
but farming operations were actively
resumed after the rains stopped, and
considerable progress was made.
In consequence of daily showers for
q period of two weeks, about harvest
time, considerable wheat in shock and
stack has been damaged, and thresh-
ing has been greatly hindercd. Where
thrcshing has proceeded, however, the
output is generally compromising both
as regards quantity and quality.
Oats harvest has been delayed by
rain. but many fields have been cut in
the central district. The grain in
shock has been considerably damaged
by wet weather. In the northern dis
trict the crop is ripe and harvest will
he well under way during the ensuing
week. good crop of rye is mostly in
shock. Barley is ripe in the northern
district and harvest has begun.
Corn is growing rapidly and Contin-
ues in an exceptionally fine condition.

Ross Biles, J. P. Wilson; Visitors,
Mr.. B. Howard Hannah and Capt.
A. Stanley Bryan, of Baltimore;
Haines Job, James Clifford and
Clayton Carhart.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and with slight
correction stating that herd grass
was not particularly inherent to
poor soil, but was natural to all
soils in this section, were approved,
On the call for experiments, A. j..
Kitchener again advocated the use
of air Stacked lime to preserve pota
toes. 1t has been conclusively DEM
onstrated that if the tuber is in a
healthy condition when removed
from the ground, an application of
dry air Stacked lime will preserve
it, but if the potato is diseased in
any way it will not check the rot.
Mr.. Kitchener also. described the
double rooted ice house which had
proved a success. The house has
an 1S-ft. stone wall, cemented from
bottom to top, the dirt floor being
covered with rails and sawdust and
the double roof allowing arfour-inch
air space.
Wayne Reynolds had tried SOW
ing clover in fall and got beneficial
results.
Mr.. Scarborough spoke in refer
ence to inoculated clover seed and
said it had thrived where the
ground had been MANFRED, so had
the seed which had not been prev
iously inoculated. Where the
ground had not yet been MANFRED,
the catch had been poor.
Had also tried COW pea by cutting
first years growth for hay and
blowing down second year and seed
ing with wheat. Had seen no ad
vantage in wheat or grass over
wheat grown on oats stubble. He
did not think the COW pea made
near as good fertilizer as manure.
Mr.. Reeder said he had tried inOc
ulated clover seed on three acres
and found no improvement over
other seed. He statnd the inoculat-
ed seed should be kept from the
air and light. Had tried muriate
of potash which gave good results
on timothy and clover.
Elwood Balderston spoke of mar
velous results from inoculated
alfalfa.
DIR. France noticed fine flock
of turkeys on the premises and in
speaking of the difficulty exper-
fenced in raising this. toothsome
bird, had been told by a raiser that
inbreeding was largely the cause of
the difficulty.
Mr.. Wilson said he had always
been fairly successful in raising
turkeys and had been told years
ago to always pluck out the blood
feathers which grow in the wing of
the fowl and sap its vitality.
James Clifford said he mixed
clover and timothy and sowed
broadcast in September, narrowed
and then drilled wheat on top and
got excellent catch. He advocated
covering all seed thoroughly.
Mr.. Clifford and Mr.. Thompson
both related having-tried lime on
potatoes without good results.
The host when called upon for
his essay responded with the
