excess of cloudiness and frequent
showers. The average daily tempera-

normal, and light frost occurred in ex-
posed places on the nineteenth and
twenty-first, but no damage was done.
4 Showers occurred in some parts of
/ the state on five days, and while the
rainfall was fairly well distributed it
was generally below the normal al
though many localities received a
slight excess. The rapid maturing of
corn was retarded by cool, wet and
cloudy weather. but it made consid-
cradle progress and 65 to rs per cent
of the crop is beyond injury by a
moderately heavy frost The remand

i drying weather to make it safe, and
three weeks to put 1t beyond danger
of hard freeze. Silos are being filed
and considerable corn put in shocks.
Seed corn is being secured in many
localities, and that work will be gem
eral during the coming week. The
wet weather has also prevented much
