A large acreage of an excellent crop of wheat is nearly all sown. No rain. Lafayette, Tippecanoe Co.—The \ large amount of sunshine and high temperature during the latter part of the week have rapidly advanced the maturity of corn which is now practically out of danger of frost. Rainfall, 0.15. LaPorte, LaPorte Co.—The past three days have been summer weather with a temperature of 90 degrees and above every day; the corn is ripening fast but rain is much needed for the new sown wheat and pastures; the continued dry weather is ripening the foliage on' the trees.

With the exception of the Administration building, the Agricultural building will be the m.03t magnificent structure on the exposition grounds. In siz9 it is 800 by 500 feet, severely classic in style. It is almost surrounded by lagoons. The features of this building are its five pavilions, one at each corner and one in the center. The corner pavilions are 61 by 48 feet square. The grand entrance is on the north. It is 60 feet wide, leading into a vestibule 30 feet deep and 60 feet' wide. At the entrance are Corinthian columns five feet in diameter and 40 feet high. Beyond these massive columns is the rotunda, 100 feet in diameter, surmounted by a glass dome 130 feet high. There are eight minor entrances 20 feet wide. The roof will be principally of glass. cut and curing within a week. The apple crop is immense and apples yery cheap. SOUTHERN PORTION. Worthington, Greene Co.—The weather during the past week has been the best possible for maturing the corn crop; all corn except the very latest planting is safe from frost, this leaves only a very light per cent subject to damage, and a few more days, such as we are now having, will place the entire corn crop in safe condition as far as frost Is concerned. Grass needs rain very much. No rain. Mount Vernon, Posey Co.—The weather has been excellent for the maturing of corn. From a 10 year's record, it appears that the first light frost in the autumn opens about October 5th, and the last light frost in the spring about May 5th. The health is generally very good. No rain. Seymour, Jackson Co.—High temperature, dry weather and abundant sunshine have matured the com yery rapidly during the past week, and the immense crop is now practically beyond danger from frost. Much wheat has been sown, fertilizers are generally used and the area cultivated will be unusually large; late vegetables, fall pasture and live stock are in prime condition; no noxious insects. No rain. Vevay, Switzerland Co.—The dry and warm weather during the past week has been of inestimable value to the maturing of corn and tobacco; one week of continuation, the corn will be out of danger from frost and the tobacco cut and curing; both, corn and tobacco have no equal in past .ears for quality, weight and perfection; the apple crop is immense, wagons containing 45 bushels are sold at two dollars the load; nothing definite as to the probable value of tobacco but a good price is anticipated in this section; the potato crop is less prolific but of good quality; all make most corn safe. Some are sowing wheat, but most farmers think it too early, much fertizlzer is used. Clover seed is a good crop this year. One man had 270 bushels. No rain. Columbus, Bartholomew Co.—The past week has been very favorable for the maturing of the corn crop, a few more such days will put it beyond the reach of frost; considerable wheat has been sown, the ground in general was in good condition; seeding in corn will be difficult because of the tangled condition of the corn and the rank growth of weeds and grass. Rainfall 0.06. CENTRAL PORTION. Indianapolis, Marion Co.—No rain; temperature above 90° and uninterrupted sunshine every day caused ' corn to mature very fast, and those fields which were very green at the beginning of the week have turned the color and only a few fields remain which are for a few days subject to damage from frost; much wheat is being sown; pasturage and stock in fine condition. No rain. Sheibyville, Shelby Co.—No rain during the week; the temperature increased daily until the average was 10 degrees above last week; the Shelby county corn crop is past damage from frost; the clover seed harvest is ended and the crop eared is of splendid quality; a large acreage of wheat is being sown. No rain. Farmland, Randolph Co.—Corn is doing fine and about out of danger from frost, the weather has been very warm; wheat sowing is about done, that which is up looks well; pasturage would be improved by rain. No rain. NORTHERN PORTION. Marion, Grant Co.—Little rain on one day only, a. temperature above average and much sunshine were very beneficial to corn. Rainfall, 0.31. corn is maturing very rapidly and will be soon out of, danger of frost; wheat is nearly all sown in good condition and a large acreage; maximum temperature 90 degrees. Rainfall, 0.31.
