we're electrical storms which did con-
siderable damage to buildings and
blew down much of the corn. The
rains have been of great benefit to
late corn, late potatoes and pastures,
but were insufficient in the southern
part of the state to have any effect
on the failing wells. Corn is max
ing rapid advancement toward ma
turity, and some of the early plant
ing will be safe from harm by frost
by the end of the coming week.
While corn has been materially in
jured by the drought, and especially
in the southern districts, the state
as whole will produce full av-
erage crop. With normal weather
during the remainder of the season
the average yield will not be less
than thirty-five bushels per acre. If
this estimate is realized the state
Will produce about 33O,000,0 900
bushels Rapid progress has been
made in threshing, and this work is
nearly finished over the southern
half of the state. The average yields
of grain, as given in former bulle-
tins, are being maintained. Where
the rainfall has been sufficient, fall
blowing and the preparation of the
ground for fall seeding Is being
pushed. Pastures have been greatly
benefited. Geo. M. Chapel.
