The weatber of the month was favorable Io all IT,ops O.xcepl iruit. being especially bom lleu.l 4o wheat, oats and grass crops. A heavy frost June 111 did some damage to gardens, but none of the other crops seemed to have suffered materially. 1 The corn crop shows the largest acreage in the history of the state, notwithstanding 150,000 acres were flooded out in the lower White and I Wabash river bottoms in the early part of June. About 80 per cent of this has been replanted, and with the (ontinunnee of favorable weather practically all will be.

some of the largest yields per acre, ever recorded in. that section. CutI ting commenced about the 20th of June under the most favorable conditions. Oats are heading out well and the I prospect now is for one of the largest crops ever produced in the state. The tobacco acreage is about normal. with some new sections this year. Although it was no all set at report time, indications point to a of last year's crop. I The commercial acreage of potatoes does not appear to be quite as large as last year, but with the great number of small gardens set out the i total acreage shows a material increase and the prospect for a large crop is good at this time. The hay crop shows a slight improvement over last month, although many of the fields continue to show plenty of "white-top,'' mustard and other weeds. 1 Heavy rains, wind and hail during the first part of June injured the apples and peaches to sjoine extent, and these crops do not show as good condition as last month.
