"In few sections the rainfall has been
almost adequate, but virtually every

vestng of hay and grain is nearly finished,
with excellent yields in oats and rye. Corn
is in fine condition generally. and is tas-
selling in northwestern counties; generous
rains, however would still further benefit

THE growth of white potato vines has
given great promise, but digging, which
is now becoming general, reveals small

heat has had a generally good effect on
sweet potatoes, and they have improved
this week; there is some stem rot, which
however, yields to treatment, and the
whole crop will probably De large.

from scald, and there has been much loss
