Rensselaer Republican, Volume 25, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 June 1893 — THE CROP BULLETIN. [ARTICLE]

THE CROP BULLETIN.

The weather crop bulletin for the State says: “Slightly excessive temperature on most days, rainfall and sunshine about normal were quite beneficial to growing crops, but the frequent rains kept the ground too wet and interrupted plowing and planting corn and farm work in general. Wheat Is much improved, heading and blooming; while most fields aro exceedingly good, some are very bad. Oats, rye, tobacco and other crops, especially grass, are in very fine condition. Corn planting is completed in most counties; nearly so in others; the plant is coming ap, growing vigorously, and stands well. The weather permits cultivation. The wheat harvest Is near and the prospect for an average yield in most fields is good. Hay and clover will be a largo crop.”
