VOL. XXVIII. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. JULY 1, 1893 NO. 26. WEATHER CROP BULLETIN. Department of Agriculture United States Weather Bureau. Crop Bulletin of the In diana Weather Service in Co-operation With the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue University, Tuesday, June 27, 1893. Bain fell only on few days but the amounts were excessive in the southern and central portions while only very little fell in the. northern portion, where rain is now needed. Much sunshine prevailed and the temperature was slightly in excess; these conditions were very favorable to crops, farm work and harvesting. Wheat, clover and hay are being cut, yielding good crops; the latter, especially, makes a heavy crop. Corn is growing rapidly; it stands well and clean; the fields have been repeatedly plowed. Tobacco has a good start and a great acreage has been planted. Berries are plentiful, but tree fruit has nearly all fallen off. SOUTHERN POBTION. Greene Co.—Abundant rains have been wonderfully beneficial to potatoes, oats, grass and corn; most of the corn has been tilled twice and looks well; the wheat harvest has commenced; the crop is generally good and will yield fairly well; tliere is little or no fruit. Rainfall 2.16. Switzerland Co.—The week throughout has been favorable to crops, all of which H_**--_f—the-most luxuriant growth; the greatest interest now centers on tobacco, of which unlimited acreage has been planted,. and all having a good start, no fear of drouth will leave it in doubt. RainfaU 2.10. Jackson Co.—A week of very favorable conditions for growing and ripening crops and good progress in farm operations; this will be the great wheat harvest week, and at its close nearly all of the unusually big crop will be in; corn, melons and potatoes are exceedingly promising; the hay crop is heavy; berries are an average crop and grapes promise well, but fruits generally are almost a failure; live stock are in prime condition; no noxious insects. Rainfall 1 02. Sullivan Co.—Another very favorable week fer all farm work; a fine rain on the 19th put the ground in excellent condition for tillage; corn is in fine condition and the fields are clean of weeds; wheat is good; some has been cut; oats is in fine condition. Rainfall 1.00. Decatur Co.—Much needed rain came, making the farmers happy and insured a good crop of potatoes; the wheat harvest will begin next week; farm products are flourishing. Rainfall 1.34. Dubois Co.—Some few fields of wheat have been cut, but the harvest in earnest will commence the 26th; oats are looking fine; young corn is in good condition. Rainfall 0.16. Gibson Co.—Wheat is all ready to cut; the first was harvested on the 21st; the clover hay is nearly all secured in good condition; timothy has been damaged by the army worms: corn is all planted and and most of it looks well; apples are falling off badly. Vanderburg Co.—Whoat cutting pro- greses rapidly; the quality is good; clover is about all cut, and a very heavy and large crop of hay will be put up this year. RainfaU 2 60. Posey Co.—A big crop of clover hay is harvested; most of the wheat is in shock; an average crop is saved in good condition; corn stands well. Rainfall 0.37.

Lawrence Co.—Farmers are busy harvesting wheat; the crop is very good; clover is being cut; corn is in excellent condition. Rainfall 1.52. Floyd Co.—Excessive rains on the 20th and 21st, did much damage to. clover hay; all other crops, however, were benefited by the week's weather, corn especially, making a rapid growth; the wheat harvest is progressing rapidly, and the crop will be large and of good quality. Rainfall at New Albany, 2.02. JenDings Co.—Copious showers during the past week have stimulated the growth of corn and oats, and the high temperature has been favorable for ripening the wheat; wheat-heads are unusually large; wheat harvesting has begun and will be completed this week.

Clay Co.—The corn prospect is much ahead of last year at this date; heavy rainfaU checked its growth; dry weather is now needed ;wheat is riot up to the average in quantity and will surely be low in grade; many iields are infested with scab or spot; meadows are thickening but the hay crop will be short; the wheat harvest is just beginning; some clover is put up in bad condition; the army worm is reported in some localities.

Rainfall at Goshen, 0.30. H. A. Huston, Director Indiana Weather Service. Per C. F. R. Wappknhans, Weather Bureau Assistant Director. If you want the boys to stay on the farm do everything possible to teach them to be better farmers. A visit to the Exposition, with a chance to study the agricultural display there, will help towards this end. Give them the time and money to do it, and both you and they will be well repaid It will be the greatest opportunity of a Ufetime to see what the world is accom plishing in this line. THE CE0PS IN EUROPE. The latest telegrams state that no official estimates of the European yield of cereals this year is obtainable. Bell's Messenger, one of the leading agricultural papers, says that a recent estimate of the French wheat crop, which placed the yield between 3,675,- 000 quarters, understated the quantity that would be produced. Bell's Messenger bases its statement on the fact that the promise of the tine yield in Brittany and Normandy and the eastern and northern departments more than offsets the deficit in the southern parts of France. The harvest in Spain is now under full headway and there are fine yields of wheat, barley and oats. A good crop of winter barley and rye will be secured. Reports from Italy show that the yield of wheat will be good, but that straw will be scarce. In England a hundred days of drouth has wrought havoc with all the crops except wheat, which is not now largely grown. The hay crop is absolutely ruined. The vegetable and fruit crops are the worst known in many years. Over wide areas potatoes and peas will barely pay the cost of harvesting. The Dublin Farmers' Gazette says that the crop prospects in Ireland are more favorable than they are in England. The oat crop is good, the 8ondition of potatoes is far above the average, and wheat promises well. An excellent general harvest is in view. The only complaints of drouth are from the north of Ireland. According to Dornbusch's Trade Circular only half crops of oats and barley are expected in France. In Southern Russia the yield of hay is nearly double the usual amount, but the rates of freight demanded prohibit its export. In Belgium wheat, rye and oats are suffering from drouth. In the Danubian provinces wheat, barley and corn are growing well. In Egypt the quantity and quality of the wheat will be excellent. There will be a good quantity of barloy, but the quality will be only medium. In Germany moderate yields of wheat and rye are promised. In Austria and Hungary all the crops are below the condition of those of last year. OUE WORLD'S FAIR GUIDE. Everybody who visits the great Columbian Exposition must have a guide to the grounds and buildings. We confidently recommend the IUustrated Guide to the World's Fair and Chicago, we issue, as filling all the requirements, and satisfactory in every particular. It contains a large bird's eye view of the great city, showing aU the parks, streets, rivers, lake front, streetcar and steam boat lines to the fair grounds, etc., a diagram of tbe fair grounds, with a large bird's eye view of the same, photographs of the depots, monster hotels and other public buildings, etc., with full description of these and many other objects of interest about the city. It also contains the railway lines and oflices, the city railway service, theaters, Ubraries, churches, hospitals, etc., etc. In short it is just what the name indicates, a guide to the city and the World's Fair, that wiU enable the reader to find his way anywhere he may wish to go, without difficulty. We furnish the book for 25 cents, postage prepaid; or wiU present a copy to each .ubscriber who sends in the name of a tew subscriber and$l. Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murder of her father and mother. The jury was out only a few minutes.
