Crop Bulletin.
For tho week ending May 15, 1905.
Tho week was cool, cloudy and ex
cessively wet in all destricts. Gener
al rains or scattered showers were of
daily occurrence, tho amounts re
ported ranging from 2.00 to 5.90
inches, and the average for the state
was probably about 3.00 inches. A
number of reports have been received
of local damage to buildings, crops
and live stock by severe wind squalls
hail and lightning.
Corn planting and other field
work liavo been much delayed .bv
excessivo moisture, and in comiier
ablo areas several days of drying]
weather will be required to put the
soil in fit condition for resuming
planting operations. On naturally
dry or well tiled lands planting I
may bo resumed within a day or two
with favornblo conditions.
Reports indicate that pastures and
meadows have received much benefit
from the moisture, except on low
and flooded lands, and all kinds of
small grain or well drained soils aro
doing notably well and stooling out
nicely. Early planted corn is sprout
ing fairly well,
There are some repoits of mjurv
to fruit by wind, hail and excessive
rains during the blooming stage.
Generally the crop conditions aro
fairly good, needing only warm and
dry weather to make the outlook
bright and satisfactory
