the storm it Sheboygan on the developed a tornado which did considerable damage Frequent showers have aged crops to a considerable extent in some sections and have and full ploughing The tion of rainfall throughout the week has been very uneven being lightest over the west-central counties and iest over the southeastern The hot showery weather has been favorable for the growth of corn but considerable damage has been done by high winds and complaints of lodging are numerous Some early fields have cut and many others are now ready for the shock or silo while the plantings will be safe
