Department of Agriculture Report For Week Eliding September 88, 100% The weather during the week wan generally cloudy, and it waa quite cool the fore part of the week bnt warmer the latter part. Quite heavy rains fell over most of the northern and central districts on the 17th and 18th, and there were several good showers in the south ern district. Very light frosts oecurred in the northern and in parts of the southern half of the state. While the rains prevented farm work for a couple of days and made the ground too wet to plow in a few localities, the week was generally favorable for all kinds of farm work; and plowing has been practically finished. On low lands in the nort&^rn part of the state the injury to corn by the frosts of the 12th and 18th was con­ siderable, bnt the great bulk of the crop in these districts was benefitted rather than injured by the frosts, as they had the effect of hastening its maturity. From the southern part of the state no injury to the crop is reported. The frosts of the past week were not injur­ ious. Early corn is generally reported to be safe from frost except in portions of the northern district, but the late corn will require from one to two weeks of exemption from heavy frost in the northern half of the state. In the southern half corn is generally reported to be safe. Cutting for fodder is in progress in all sections and is nearing completion in the southern district. An unusually large percentage will be cut. Dress does not make the person. Nor does a clean exterior indicate a clean in­ terior. To be well all organs of the body must work in harmony. Rocky Mountain Tea does this work. G. W. Befcley. WOODSTOCK. Horse sale a week from next Wed­ nesday. Miss Alice Bonner returned to Chica­ go on Friday. S. C.
