Dubuque, Aug. 20--The past week
Was fairly propitious for the farmer on
tho Minnesota division Of the Illinois
Central, according to their weekly crop
bulletin. Frequent showers hampered
threshing In several localities, but the
pastures and late potatoes benefited
materially as a result. The prospects
for heavy corn crop was never bet
ter. Hay, due to the presence Of rust,
will suffer to certain degree. Grain is
being shipped already and an unusually
large number of consignments is being
prepared for. The report follows:
"The weather prevailing during the
past week over territory covered by
this division was characterized by I'M
usually cool nights, and in some sec
lions by heavy local showers. 1t is es-
timated that the average daily deficien-
cy Of temperature was about seven
degrees, and the average rainfall was
somewhat below the normal. altho al
most all sections received some mois-
ture The showers interfered with
thYeshing In some localities. Warmer
westher, however, is needed for the
rapid development Of corn, but as a
whole the week was favorable for ag-
ricultural interests. The rains were very
beneficial to late potatoes, pastures and
garden truck, and in some localities
where the rainfall was heavy, put the
ground in fine condition for fall plow-
ing, which mas begun.

ears are beginning to fill out in fine

THE quantity of hay in this terri
tory will not be as large as last year.
however. the yield is greater turning
out an average Of four tons Of hay to
the acre.
Threshing is progressing rapidly.
and it is reported that the yield Of all
small grain is above normal and the
condition is excellent. Orders have been
coming in quite freely for cars to load
oats which have been threshed this
year and considerable grain has already
moved from points on the main line
west Of Dubuque. Indications are that
the movement Of oats will be in full
force within the next week or ten days,
and 1t is expected that we will receive
