United State, Weather Bureau, Department of Agriculture, Orop Bulletin of the I ml in aa Weather Service in Co-operation With the Agricultural Experiment Station nt Purdue. I'nireraity for the Week End inn Monday, Aug. 8,1895. Central Station at Indianapolis, Ind. Cool, fair weather prevailed, especially during the nights, and no rain fell, except in a few localities of the central portion on Saturday. Light frosts formed on July 30th and 81st, in localities Ln oounties of the northern portion, Imt they were too light to cause injury. Corn continues In host oondltion, although In some tields, it needs rain soon, as it still is shooting and in silk and tassels and heading; it never looked better at this season of the year, in most localities, and the yield promises to he immense in some counties. Oats threshing is nearly done and in some localities the yield is hotter than expected. The growth of the tobacco plant is much retarded by the dry and cool weather. Old clover is being threshed and young olover is in fair condition, almost ready to cut, and promising a good yield of seed. Pasture in most oounties is getting dry again, and on many farms cattle have to be fed. Late potatoes, beans, buckwheat and millet are in fair condition, but soon need rain again. Apples, pears and plums are abundant. Fall plowing continues, but the ground is getting hard and dry and plowing will stop soon unless good rains fall. SOUTHERN PORTION. Cool, dry*, fair weather continued; light hoar frost formed in Hamilton oounty on July 31, but doing no injury; oats threshing is nearly ended; a fair yield and in some fields better than expected; the growth of tobacco is muoh retarded by the dry and cool weather in Switzerland county; wheat threshing continues in Gibson county; corn is in best condition and will be out of danger in about a month ; in some tields it never looked better at this timo of the yoar and it promises in localities an immense yield, in general above the average; in Ripley oounty rain is needed for the corn. Late potatoes, beans, buckw heat and millet are in fair condition ; apples, pears and plums are abundant and there will be plenty of grapes in Switzerland oounty: while in most counties pasturage is still green, in some it is getting dry again, but stock in general is in fine condition: fall plowing continues, but in some fields the ground is getting dry and hard: Colorado bugs aro doing damage to potatoes, vegetables and tomatoes in Harrison county. central PORTION.

II. A. II I'STIIN, Director Indiana Weather Service. Per C. l*'. li. Wappenhass, Weather Bureau, Assistant Director. Wayside Notes. Editors Isiuana Kar.mkr: Recent trips into southern, northern and eastern Indiana havo moro thoroughly convinced the writer than over before that I ndiana is a grand agricultural Stato. We have not reached and perhaps have hardly dreamed of the possibilities of our Hoosier State in the lineof agriculture. The substantial barns, comfortable farm dwellings, loaded orchards and smiling tields, despite tho drouth, give ample evidence that the farmers of the State are quite generally in a prosperous condition. Every locality that the writer has visited oan and does produce a number of valuable crops. Indiana, with her broad, level plains, well-watered valleys, undulating uplands, orchard-crowned hills, fertile soils and equable olimate, offers special Inducements to the pursuttof agriculture, horticulture, dairying and live stock husbandry, and is destined to become one of the leading agricultural States of the union. Southern Indiana this year produced the best yield and the host grade of whoat. Clark oounty showed some fine tields of orohard grass which, at the time of my visit, was being harvested for seed. The rich, low-lying lands north of the Kankakee river are slowly emerging from the "slough of despond" with the draining of that stream. With the complete removal of the ledge of rock at M**- mence, III., many thousands of acres of swamp land in northwest Indiana will be redeemed for agrioulture. The writer was especially pleased to note the prosperous condition of the dairy farmers in the vicinity of Brunswick, Lake county, where Mr. II. c. Beekman, one of the agricultural graduates of Purdue, lives. It was the writer's privilege to ride around a section of fine land near Good- land in company with Mr.li. <;. Jenkins, of that place. While the crops are very tine in this locality, two things of especial interest wero noted: First,the rationally and cheaply-built roads; and, second, a large pit of washed gravel which for centuries has lain undiscovered under a thin layer of soil, but which is now being utilized to excellent advantage in graveling the highways. The roads havo boen carefully graded from fenoe to fence, and a tile drain on either side of the road secures sutlieiont dryness with a verv slightly curved surface. Tho whole roadway for considerable distances was s,* smooth as to permit mowing the roadsides with a mowing machine. Nowhere else has the writer soon such good roads so cheaply made. It was my nood fortune to attend a farmers* picnic on July 1.1th at tho home of Mr. J.C. Stevens, of Centerville, and another on July 17th at the home of Mr- J. M. Forkner, north of Anderson. Those meetings wore held under the auspices .,f the Wayne Connty Horticultural Society and the .Madison County Farmers' Club. Mr. J. C.Stevens has the finest held of corn that I have seen. It is worth going miles to see. While in Madison oounty I was the guest of Mr. .1. L. Thomas, of Pendleton, whose farm, garden and buildings are in apple-pie order. M r. Thomas' home is a model nf comfort anil convenience. So generally are the farmers using natural gas in Madison county that in an 18-mile drive lb*'gas line appeared almost continuously mi one side of the mad or the other. Mr. Dan Hoffman, of Winchester, took ine ont to see his "town farm," as he calls it. where I saw a to-acre apple and pear orchard loaded with fruit. Mr. II. says the orchard will bear thousands of bushels of apples, but ho does not know how many thousands. In oompany with Messrs. J. C. and Arthur Click, former students of Purdue, I rode through several miles of very line farming land in the eastern part of Bartholomew oounty. The prospects for the apple and corn crops there, as elsewhere, are most promising. While in Johnson county I was the guest of Mr. J. W, LaGrange, the youngest member of the state Board of Agrioulture, who lives four miles out from Franklin. This section of the State has been more favored than many other parts with rain, and the corn orop appeared to be a little better, on an average,here than elsewhere. I was especially pleased with the clean roadsides, tidy Holds and yards, the thrifty appearance of the farms and the substantial farm buildings. Mr. La- ('range's barn is tilled to overflowing with tine Holstein oattle. He has a model enclosure covered and surrounded with straw for the accommodation Of hogs and young oattle. It is quite inexpensive and shonld be described in the INDIANA FARMER for the benefit of its many readers. While stopping with Mr. LaGrange I had the pleasure of meeting several newly* married couples, members of a young farmers' club organized at the suggestion of Mr. LaGrange. These yonng i pie are all well educated, having had college or high school training, and, with a single exception, are under 90 years of ago. They meet from month to month in the several homes of the members and hold their sessions in the evening without refreshments. This plan has boon found admirable both for the young farmers, who are busy during the daylight hours. antl-for their wives, who are not worn out in preparing a feast of good things. Their meetings are thoroughly delightful literary occasions. It is to be hoped that the time will soon come when thore may be thousands of suoh clubs throughout the Stato. One of the most pleasant features of the trip has been the mooting of former agricultural students of Purdue, who are earnestly striving to put into praotieethe teaching of their alma mater. Already those who have been farming for some years are winning substantial recognition They are devoting themselves with enthusiasm and tireless energy to the promotion of agriculture upon their own farms and in their respective communities. They are striving not only to be suooossful farmers, hut good citizens and helpful neighbors as well. May their example prove oatch ing and may thoir numbers and influence increase, Tho writer was both surprised and chagrined to note the rapid diffusion and great abundance of wild or prickly lettuce. Xot a locality visited was entirely exempt, and a number of Qelds were practically captured by this new pest. This plant is stealing a march on many farmers who must sooner or later wake up to see their farms literally overrun with this aggressive plant. Prompt, concerted action is necessary if farmers will hold this weed in check. At this writing tho seeds of the tirst orop of wild lettuce are sufficiently matured to grow. It will be utterly useless to poll np or cutoff the plant and leave it lying where it falls. The mature plants should lie at onoe cut close to the ground and Immediately raked into piles t<* be burned as soon as sufficiently dry. Where the plants are not too numerous t hey should be dug or pulled up so as to prevent the formation of side shoots, which will yet bear seed this season. Every farmer who neglects this ad- .vice w ill, in a few years, b, mpelled to spend ten times the labor and money in lighting this weed that il will now cost. Lafayette. W. C. Latta. £tutc 4}cms.

B. Armstrong, fell from the top of a gas derrick at Windfall, seventy-nine feet altogether, andhossill lives with a possibility of recovery. The farm house and bank barn in Bear Creek township, owned by Dr. John C. Ross, burned recently, with a heavy loss and no Insurance. The tire is supposed to have caught from sparks from a ing traction engine.
