grees above the normal, and while
/ the rainfall was deficient light to
copious showers were general during
/ the first and last days of the week,
/ and all crops made unprecedented
! growth under the effects of the high
temperature and needed moisture.
| Temperatures in excess OF 80 de
grees were general on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Much of the
corn has been cultivated once ard
4 some of it twice The stand Is excel
lent except on sod ground where
worms have done considerable dam
age and caused some replantins. The
soil is in fine filth, the fields arc I'M
usually clean and the plants are
strong and of good color Winter
wheat is heading in southern counties
and small grain, meadows, and pas
lures are doing we'll generally, hut In
few localities and especially In the
southeastern counties the crops need
more rain. The hay crop will, howev.
err be below the average In all sec
tons. Potatoes are growing RAPIDLY
notwithstanding the fact that bugs
are numerous and are doing consider
able damage. Fruit and gardens still
give promise of bounteous yields
