General Condition of Crops and Season — During the fore part of the 

 season it was very wet and cold, which delayed seeding and planting up 

 until about July 1st; after that we had a long drouth w^hich continued 

 throughout the rest of the growing season. 



Corn — Made very rapid growth, considering the dry season but was 

 fired badly on flat land. Three-fourths of an average crop.

 the growing of oats. The quality was good and the yield 35 to 40 bushels 

 per acre. 



Wheat — As there was but very little snow during the past winter 

 wheat is below the average; yield from 20 to 25 bushels.

 age crop. 



Barley — Very little raised here. 



Buckicheat — Very little raised. 



Millet — None.

 crop.
