C. E. BREXIMAX, OCTOBER 31, 1905. 



General Condition of Crops and Season — The season has been an ideal 

 one in many respects, and except for the wet cold spell in the middle of 

 May and the disastrous wind storm of early August, it was a record 

 breaker. As it was, the condition of the crops was above the average, 

 small grain being of much better quality and above the average in 

 quantity. The corn crop never matured better than the past season, and 

 except for the down condition of that grain, will harvest a more mature 

 crop than for many years.
