Another week of dry weather has
pushed the corn further along toward
maturity, although it has been unsea-
sonably cold part Of the time. Corn
needs much warm weather to mature
it thoroughly. Rain is not needed for
| it except in some late fields. Pastures
and meadows. however, are drying UP
! badly so that cattle feed Is becoming
| scarce. Fears are entertained that
many timothy meadows and new clover
seeding may be killed by drouth.
Threshing out of the shock is almost
completed, just a few jobs of timothy
remaining. Oats have been making up
to fifty bushels an acre, of fair quality
| Rye makes ten to fifteen bushels and
wheat fife en- to forty bushels. limo
thy seed is yielding foursto eight bush
els an acre and Is of excellent quality.
However, buyers are not bidding on II
| to any extent. That which is selling
brings from $3.50 to s1.75 bushel.
