Corn prospects were described as very uneven. General improvement in the crop was noted during August In all districts except central, western and upper southwestern Illinois, where beat and drouth resulted in poorer than usual filling of ears. The crop moved nearer maturity in excellent condition in 'northern Illinois as well as in the east, the report cohtinued, and prospects are for a good crop in the southeast and extreme south. "Threshing of spring grains was retarded by frequent rains in . the north and was not completed by Sept. 1," the report added. "Damage to grain in the shock has been severe., While all spring grains yielded better than the 10-year average, the oats yield of 30.5 bushels was disappoint-, ing." "Soybean condition is 80 per cemt of normal. The indicated all tame hay production of 4,183,000 tons i* the largest since 1927. "Garden and truck crops in 1 general have yielded well this year, and potatoes promise the--highest yi since 1928. Broomcorn harvest is now in progress, with an indicated production of 8,500 tons compared with 12,300,000 tons last years.

On Labor day there was a record attenance of over 32,000. Ralph McConnell, who was an exhibitor in the machinery class, reports that farmers in South-eastern Wisconsin seem to be prosperous and, as he puts it, are likely prospects for farm equipment.
