WEEK'S CROP REPORT For the Week Ending Monday August 17th, 1903 The week was generally very favor able for the completion of harvest and the stacking of srain, until Friday, when severe local storms, accompanied with heavy rains, occurred generally over the central and southern counties. In a few localities lowlands were flood ed and some damage done to crops. In the northern section the rains have been less heavy during the week but more frequent than elsewhere, and grain in the shock has not cured well. Light frost occurred in exposed localities in some of the northern counties al>ut the middle of the week, but resulted in no material damage. Corn: There has been no material improvement in the condition of corn during the week. It is now generally from two to four weeks behind the aver age condition at this date, and should frost occur before the last week in Sep tember very little sound corn would he harvested. The plants are generally in healthy condition but the continued cool nights hare not promoted a rapid growth. Some early varieties are ma turing well, but the outlook for the bulk of the crop is decidedly unfavor able. Spring Grains: The harvest of spring wheat, rye and barley is generally corn pleted and most of these crops are in shock or stark The continued showery weather, esiwially in the northern sec tion, has not been favorable for curing. In the central and southern counties threshing progressed rapidly during the early part of the week but the heavy rains of Friday will interfere with this work for a few days. The yield of spring grains is generally satisfactory, although not quite so good as last year. Some oats remain to le cut in some of the northern counties. Potatoes are j^f'nerH.llv reported in satisfactory condition hu<l give promise of a good yield. Tobacco; The harvesting of tobacco is progressing rapidly in some sections of the tobacco district. The crop is gen erally very good, and with favorable weather a large acreage will Is- harvest ed this week Minor Crops: Second crop clover is in bloom and promises to be a heavy crop Pastures continue to furnish abundant feed, Buck wheat is niatnr ing rapidly and promises a good yield. Fruit. Blackberries are ripening rap idly; the crop is large and the quality excellent. The apple crop will 1m light but the quality good. MISHICOT Aug.
