Weather Crop-Bulletin
For the week ending May IL,
1912:
The weather during the first
five days of the week was ideal
for field work and the growth
of vegetation. The average
temperature was above the
normal, though no unusually
high temperatures prevailed,
and the precipitation was de.
ficient until Friday night and
Saturday when heavy, and IN
many localities, excessive rains
fell; the greatest amounts Of
rainfall being reported from.
the southern and central coun-
ties. All vegetation made rar.
id growth, and good progress
was made in preparing corn
ground. Considerable corn
was planted in nearly all Sec
tions of the state with the soil
generally in fine filth, but. the
late rains and the cool weather
prevailing at the close of the
week will retard planting for Z
day or two. Meadows and pas
lures have made a decided i'm.
provement, and where the rain
fall was heavy, a fair to COED
crop of hay is assured. Oata
are beginning to stool nicely
and all small grain is in g'vd
condition. Reports continued
to show a deficiency Of bloom
on apple trees, but other fruits,
except peaches, give promise Of
good yields.

An Agreeable Surprise.

We were aggreably surprised
when we stepped into the new
department Of our leading store
today and saw what a transfor-
nation had occurred. The room
is neatly arranged witha choice
selection of groceries running
on one whole side and a dazzling
array of fancy chinaware and
graniteware on the other side.
Wilhelm the center of the room
are the wide tables with a great
array of bargains in home
goods and clean is the word it
spelled. and right there behind
the grocery counter stood
our old friend Morris Hearn
with the same genial smile
and the same warm handclasp.
It is certainly a pleasure to
step in and see the busy activity
in the store. They say that Mr..
Abrams has Exaggerated a new
new system of cooperation with
his employees. By the pleasant
looks with which they greet you
it seems to be a success. They
certainly are a credit to the city
