General Condition of Crops and Season — The season has not been fav- 

 orable for the growth of crops. Lack of rainfall during the months of 

 July and August has greatly affected nearly all crops. Crops yielded 

 about two-thirds. 



Corn — Greater acreage than usual and was well cultivated. The quality 

 will be good and the yield about two-thirds of a crop. 



Oats — Small acreage; quality good; light yield. 



Wheat — Perhaps the greatest crop ever produced in the county. We 

 had a large acreage and the yield and quality were excellent. 



Flax — But little produced. 



Millet — Almost no crop. 



Sorghum — But little raised; good quality. 



Timothy — The dry weather ruined the meadows in many instances. 

 Yielded from one-half to three-fourths of a ton per acre. 



Clover — Short, owing to the drouth, 



Prairie Hay — A light crop. 



Potatoes — A very light crop.
