past week was very favorable for corn
and other growing crops. The mean
/
above normal, and there was an ex-
/ cess of rainfall over the larger part
| of the state. Copious and well dis
| tributed showers occurred on several
days over all but the south central
| and southeastern counties, and the
drouth is practically broken The
rains have been of great benefit to
| corn, especially in the late planted
fields. Grass has revived and pas
lures and meadows are again looking
green. The second crop of clover is
growing rapidly and the indications
are favorable for good yield Of seed
Twothirds of the corn is in excellent
condition and with normal weather
until the end of September, will pro.
duce considerably more than an av-
erage crop. The remaining third of
| the crop has been injured. to some
extent by the long continued drouth,
1 but most of it will make decided i'm
/ provement during the next week or
4 ten days on account of the late rains.
! The rains came too late to be of
/ benefit to most of the potatoes. Fall
4 blowing is progressing rapidly, with
! the soil in fine filth. and the indica-
1 lions are favorable for an increased
acreage of winter wheat. Thrashing
! and stacking was delayed somewhat
! during the first part of the week by
/ showers
