the week ending August 4, Is as fol-
lows:
The past week was cool and dry;
the average daily deficiency of tenn
perature being about 6 degrees, and
only few light and widely scattered

grain has been secured in fine cond!-
ton, and rapid progress is being made
in threshing. The yields of wheat.
oats, rye and barley are exceptional
ly large except in the southeastern
counties where the winter wheat is
very light. Corn Is still in good con.
dition, but needs rain and warmer
weather. Pastures are drying up in
many localities, and potatoes also
need rain.
Following Is summary of reports
from crop correspondents on Aug 1st:
Much of the late and replanted corn Is
still backward, but all of it is strong
and vigorous. The average condition
Of the crop is placed at SO per cent or
four points better than on July LIST.
